What is it like being a female? A women?

Question

Oh yea and I ask because of my psychology class. Thank you.

Answer 1

You are always looked at by men when you are walking. You always have to be in a pack with others because of all the crazy people in corners.

I love it though. I can be who I want to be.

You ever had cramps? Not fun at all!

Answer 2

It's like being a b*tch instead of being a tough bloke.

Answer 3

We're all diffrent...DUH.

Some are tomboy, some are shy, some are sociable, some are girly...etc, etc, etc.

But ALL of us DO get these annoying periods...

Answer 4

It's absolutely wonderful; with all the trimmings, such as our menstruals, getting pregnant; nursing; pmsing and all of that.  It's wonderful because that's what it means to be a woman.  There are so many things to tell, that I could fill all of YA with it; only we both know there's no time.  Does it suck being a woman? No, what actually sucks is not accepting it 100% all of the time.  Here let me set you straight about something, this something, is a huge issue in these parts.  Some came up to me and told me I wasn't human; just some stupid old baby machine; why I would look him in the eye and say.  "Excuse me, I believe you made a mistake I'm a human baby machine; if that bothers you, that's your problem; not mine."  Do I feel as if some of my kind are going through dire straits; with this equality stuff?  Yeah, I do; many can't see the forest for the trees. Some want something; only they don't know what it is they want.  Yet, at the same time they'll pull all stops to convince others this is the way to go.

Answer 5

Sometimes exhaustive, sometimes thrilling. SOmetimes good & sometimes bad.

I've no idea what you want here, we're all people, I imagine it's similar for everyone.

It's pretty inconvenient trying to pee while camping, on a boat, on FTX... you get the picture.

Periods do suck, just as much as you'd imagine.

Pregnancy isn't a 9 month festival of joy either....

Tend to get underestimated a lot... but not for very long.

Answer 6

I don't know.  I've always been one, so I don't really know what it's like, I don't have anything else to compare it to.

Answer 7

I like being a woman for the most part but first of all I look at myself as a human in spite of our cultures framework and expectations for the different sexes.

Men must be tough and can not show emotion, women are weaker and it is expected that they will cry at the drop of a hat or broken fingernail-

Men are the major bread winners and women clean and manage the house and children for free-

Men can have all the sexual experiences he wants and is considered macho, women can only have one partner for life or she is a s**t-

Men should look rugged and even unkempt, women must look like a magazine cover for Playboy-

Men are in charge, women must be submissive--

Men are good in math and science, women just do not understand math and science.

Men can disagree, argue and give orders, women are b*****s, nags and minstrel if they disagree, give orders and argue.

Men are good athletes and can coach, women may be good athletes and know the game but must not coach boys.

The above are only a few of the disagreeable cultural expectations that women deal with on a daily basis and strong women will somehow manage to do what they expect of themselves any way.

I am sure that our cultures have many restrictions and expectations of men as well ad it starts as soon as people hold their babies for the first time. Oh, it is a girl? People have been acculturate to even talk to newborn babies differently depending on the s*x of the child. Tougher language and voice connotations for male and softer sweeter voice for females. I

I really could go on for a very long time trying to explain to you what it is like to be female, but when it comes down to human needs and functions such as needing to be cared for and to be respected and the ability to have deep thought and curiosity I think that as humans we are surely not very different at all.

I did enjoy the experience of having children and feeling the close bond we have. I do not enjoy the experience of a monthly-- sometimes it is like having a bottle brush inside the tummy turning ever so slowly. Many womens b*****s are too large and get in the way of physical activity such as running. I have always felt sorry for them.

I hope that this is helpful--though if this is for your course I suspect that your textbook could clairify much of this for you.

Answer 8

Lol, it varies greatly depending on circumstances....I can say that for the most part I'm okay with it, however, I wish things were different between the genders and realize that may never happen.  There are certain times that can make it difficult.

Answer 9

lets say.. You don't get enough respect from Men.. or women...  You are suppose to be strong .. yet can't be too strong ( emotion Wise . )  You really can't have a day when you say F@ it I going to just wear a baseball hat like my husband does..You have to shave your legs which is a lot longer then shaving your face...  you have pms, which in most case I think Me have it too.. I could go on and on..

Answer 10

some days it sucks.. some days its awesome.

Answer 11

Look, being a HUMAN sucks either way.

but really, being female sucks ... for about a week every month. otherwise it's ok.

Why - you looking for a change?

Answer 12

ugh.

rejection sucks

and we change our minds...

but you've probably alread heard that one...

lol

Answer 13

well I've never been a man so i can't really compare but....

I enjoy being female and having that freedom to be girly or tomboyish on how the mood takes me. I'm glad that if i cry or express emotion then i'm not judged as being soft or less than a Woman etc etc - but don't even get me started on having periods or PMT. Oh you men have noooooo idea! The first time my husband was on time on the month notice and i was sick and ugh he hovered a bit - then raced off to Homebase to get some power tools. No i'm not joking!!!

i get sick of the double standards and even more irate when i realise that its women that set them - not men. I'm saddened that there is still so much animosity towards women by men - just as I am saddened by the women that are appalling to men but its acceptable for them. How many times do you sit on the bus and hear a couple of women discussing a break up and they go "well he ain't never seeing his kids"

i get fed up with having the perfect body image shoved in my face every time i walk down the street or open a magazine. there is no escape. and when you get older its no longer about body image its about making nice little cupcakes arrrgh

Answer 14

i have no idea..

whats it like being a man?

Answer 15

Is this a genuine psychology class?

Being a woman is, on a personal level, ok.  Happy with my femininty being the way I choose to express it, my sexuality and my gender; the way I choose to represent it.

However, societally, culturally, politically? Could be happier...globally women are subjugated, in the west women are conned into believing greater independence and freedom of movementt is a fair exchange for equality of rights and opportunities.  

Psychologically, negotiating misogyny which is so endemic most of the time you can't even see it, but trust me you feel it, makes one a little jaded.

If you are genuine read: A Brief History of Misogyny The World's Oldest Prejudice by Jack Holland

Answer 16

I am so glad I am a man, it is glorious.

I think I would hate to be a female. Females must have a hard time with having their dangly bits up top instead of down below and those monthly bloody discharges must be h**l.

It is so unfair for them and I sympathise for them.

Answer 17

Yeah... Basically, being a female is just like being a woman.

Answer 18

It's great, you can be exactly who you want to be. If I want to be girly and be a housewife I can. But if I want to be a tomboy and have a career I can. Men are still too caught up with 'being a man' and feeling the need ot conform with a sterotype.
