I think men are far worse in terms of leaving hair in the sink, like forgetting to rinse the sink after shaving. Or not doing it properly.

I mean public ones sorry. I'd probably agree on ones in people's homes. Men are tramps.

EDIT - I haven't been in women's public toilets FTR.

- Having hair that refuses to stay straight when I try to grow it long.

- Ridicule for showing emotions.

- Being a virgin is a lot harder. Women can generally escape virgin shaming because they generally aren't expected to be risk taker in dating, but if you're a man, expect to be **** on for something as simple as not having sex.

This is my favorite post, by far. Your kind is precious and few, but always more tolerable than masculine manly-men with overly manly behaviors.

At the end of the night, part of my store's closing security measures includes propping open the bathroom doors. The men's room is absolutely vile. You can smell the piss from several feet away. It's such a grotesque stench; it would make Mike Rowe cry.

But every once in a while, in the ladies' room.... there is such a disgusting sweaty-ass stench of doom. Or someone has decided to sit down and unleash a category-5 hurricane dump, and the smell lingers for hours. Sometimes I walk out of there and my overall reaction (apart from maintaining my composure and watering eyes/retching) is simply "....how?"

I assume that when a bunch of dudes live together, they try to blast shit-stains off the toilet bowl with their piss. There's no way any of them are going to use a brush for that shit.

More things that suck about being a woman:

Periods/cramps/backaches/headaches/nausea/basically anything pertaining to the devil's revenge on our uteri.
People thinking you're a freak for never wanting children.
Men somehow being repulsed by the thought that we grow hair in any other place but our heads (seriously, are you all 10 years old??)

I'm a bit feminine sometimes but I dont't give a **** what anyone thinks about that. Try hard manly-men annoy the **** out if me - I think they act on underlying insecurities. There are really respectable manly men, but they're usually not trying and they're not dickheads and they don't use intolerance to display their manliness.

I rarely have issues with gender expectations though. I am an academic, and most of the company I keep are educated liberals.

I see your "childbirth" and I raise you a "childfree". No babies for Ki and I. No fucking way.

Part of the reason I really dig seahorses is because dude-seahorses give birth, and they're like little fishy baby-cannons.

Something that really blows about being a straight female: people always think you're a lesbian if you don't like burly men.

(But I guess I've gotten to the point where I don't care.)

well

having genitals that protrude can be, at times, difficult.

boners in public, getting hit in the nads, etc.

But, alas, it ain't so bad tbh. At times, though, I envy those with vaginas and boobies. Being a man is rather boring.
