Men will never get our "Girl Problems"
Having been a girl my entire life, I can't help but notice the difficulties of being a female that the male gender just wouldn't understand.
They will never face these challenges.
Perhaps this will give them a new perspective.
To all the men in our lives:
Here are some problems that are 100% "Girl Problems"
(To be clear, not EVERY woman is exactly like this and while this is a generalization to cover many women, it in no way is meant as a stereotype or to be generalized to all women.)
**Bobby pins and hairbands
--WHERE DO THEY GO?!?!
**Need milk, bread, and makeup. Only enough money for one.
Makeup it is.
**Favorite bra is dirty......can't febreze it anymore
**Bathing suits --HUGE issue
1. Bikini tops and bottoms must be bought separately --due to size differences
2. Expensive!
3. Busty girls cannot buy one-pieces :(
4. They leave you practically naked
5. We'll never look like that girl in the magazines
**HAIR - Where to begin??
All of these things are necessary (unless you're bald, in which case---you're saving money!!)
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
-Hairspray
- Leave in conditioner
-anti-frizz spray
-gel/mousse
-anti-humidity spray
-hairbrush
-combs/pics
-blowdryer
-straightener
-curling iron
-hairbands
-bobby pins
-barrettes/ clips
-100 pins on pinterest of styles we'll never master
-a good hair-stylist
**Shaving
OKAY- Who decided it was okay for men to have leg hair, armpit hair, upper lip hair, etc, but on women it's "gross".
I mean, I agree----because society has taught me to hate it!!!
When I don't shave, I won't even touch my own legs! GROOOSSSS! Thanks a lot, society!!
Do you know how much maintenance that is??
Razors, shaving cream, lotion, wax, tweezers?!
Hair removal is painful!!!
Plucking eyebrows=cry
Waxing literally ANYTHING = CRY
So the next time you decide to touch our leg or check us out in a dress or kiss us and see our upper lip or stare into our eyes under our perfectly shaped eyebrows, APPRECIATE IT!!
We go through serious, constant pain to look this good.
Seriously, respect us. Appreciate us.
And for God sakes do something about that armpit hair!!!
**Make-up
Even though we only use a small portion of these products, we own all of them!!
-Liquid foundation (at least 2 kinds)
-powder foundation
-Blush
-concealer
-Eye shadow (several brands/colors!)
-Eyeliner (different colors)
-Liquid eyeliner (We'll never master it--ever!)
-Mascara (Like 6 different kinds we bought and hated and now they just sit there...)
-lipstick (a variety)
-lipgloss
-chapstick (Yes, these lip products are all DIFFERENT THINGS!)
**Our closet will ALWAYS be full, but we'll never wear most of what's in there. Things just "don't fit right" or it's trashier than we thought it would be, or we feel fat, or we just don't have "formal occasions" to wear it to....
**Periods. This is pretty much self-explanatory, but just in case you need some highlights, here they are.
-Cramps
-Raging hormones
-Cramps
-Bloating
-Cramps
-Insides ripping to shreds
-Cramps
-Crying fits
-Hunger
-Cramps
-Weird cravings
-Cramps
-Fear of clothes getting stained
-Cramps
-Unexplainable emotionalness
-Clothes don't fit
-Unexplainable anger
-Annnnnd cramps. I think that about covers it.
**Crying--okay, being a girl means we have some serious hormones rocking through us at all times. Men just don't understand the emotions of a woman. So if we're crying, there is a variety of reasons for it. Good luck figuring out which one it is!
-You hurt our feelings
-We hurt your feelings
-It's Tuesday
-We saw a commercial with a puppy on it
-We're tired
-We're stressed
-We're in love
-We're heartbroken
-We heard a beautiful song
-We saw a commercial for starving children
-We thought you were mad, but you weren't, but you weren't talking to us, so we got really worried and called you, and you didn't answer-confirming our fear that you were mad, but you were just busy....(cried all night)
-You dumped us
-You asked us out
-You didn't answer your phone and we just wanted to hear your voice
-Someone yelled at us
-Someone almost yelled at us
-We saw a baby
-We saw two babies
-You said we looked "okay", but we took it to mean "fat". Because obviously it means fat..
-You said a girl on tv was pretty---we don't look like her. Ohmygod we're not pretty! We're ugly.
-We burned the brownies!
-We're having a bad hair day
-You didn't compliment us
-You did compliment us
-We heard a Sarah Mclachlan song
-We spilled something on our-self
-We're having car problems/computer problems/tv problems/phone problems----pretty much anything mechanical or technological---if it's failing us, we're crying.
-Someone doesn't like us
-We think someone doesn't like us
-Someone was mean to us
-We're scared
-We're hurt (physically)
-Our feelings are hurt
-You're mean
**Fear
We have dozens, both rational and irrational.
So man up- and let us be scared. Maybe give us a hug when we need it.
Go ahead and kill that spider that made us jump on the counter and wipe away our tears over that mouse that "almost" touched us.
And DO NOT make fun of us for such fears!!
In a woman's mind, these are completely logical and rational fears and we will always have them. Let it go and love us anyway.
-Spiders, bugs, insects, small critters
-Mice, rats, creepy rodents with long tails
-Getting kidnapped
-Getting raped
-Getting hit on by that weird guy at the bar
-Getting rejected by a boy
-Getting our period when we least expect it
-Having car trouble
-Being alone in the dark
-Having to walk to our car, alone, in a parking lot at night
-Not being liked
-Snakes
-Someone breaking in/burglars
-Being stalked
-Being broken up with
-Being heartbroken
-Being cheated on
-Being seen without makeup on!
-Being seen naked *shutter*
**Car issues
Let's face it, vehicles are complicated.
Why are the names for car-parts so complicated?
What the heck is a roter?
As much as we'd like to pretend like we've "got it covered" and as much as our inner feminist fights for independence, the next time we get a flat tire, we'll probably be wearing a dress, and heels, and it will be cold outside, and dark.......and we'll call you.....and we'll probably be crying.
**Lady parts
I'll try not to get too graphic here, but here are a list of doctor visits men will never have to make
-Pap Smears
-Mamograms
-Prenatal Care
-Post-Pregnancy Care
-Check-ups for Birth control (Gynecologist)
**The most obvious problem of all: SEXISM
-We're not treated equally
-We're not taken seriously
-We have to apologize for things, constantly--men never would
-We fear our own success
-We're taught not to be successful
-We're taught that we are the "lesser" sex
-We're taught that men are in "control"
-We will forever battle being "second" in the world, next to men, never allowed to be equal to
Alright men, I hope this has given you some insight into the "female" world.
I hope you've learned something....or maybe you're just more confused.
Either way, be lucky your issues are vastly different.
And if you're a woman reading this,
BE PROUD TO BE A WOMAN!
WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!!!
