GIRLS! What is your favorite thing about being a girl and least favorite thing?

You don’t have to take out the trash ‘cause you’re a girl?
What country do you live in?

There is no “least” for me. I dig being a chick. :) Don’t mind taking out the trash, working on my engine..

FACEPALM

I really like being a woman.

My favorite thing is having access to my feelings and being able to express them in words.

My least favorite thing is still living in a patriarchal society in the 21st century in which men have most of the power.

HAHA I live in The United States of America :) My husband is a wonderful gentleman! I do plenty of cleaning… just not the trash:)

I really like being a woman, too. I’m having a hard time coming up with a “favorite thing” that is truly indicative of being female, though… Things I like that are typically associated with “womanhood,” such as wearing lacy things or baking, could also be true if I were male. Other than having breasts… But I don’t want to call that my favorite thing!! Not being susceptible to prostate cancer also crossed my mind… Ok going to stop trying now. :) My least favorite thing is menstrual cramps.

Like @Marina, I enjoy being a woman. I even think for all the cramps, pain and misery PMS has tortured me with, I’ll accept it, for the two beautiful children I have, in return.

Again, like @Marina, I hate still living in a patriarchal society. I know there are women that make advances and move to the top; however, the glass ceiling still exists.

I do plenty of “guy” things. I don’t mind my hands getting dirty!

@cak- Who would actually genuinely enjoy PMS!? :P Although, I can’t really say much since I have no children to show for it and I don’t really suffer too much from it.
But, having a period that I can’t see coming is one of my least favorite things. I have an irregular cycle and no cramps before hand, so it’s ALWAYS a surprise. (I once went a whole summer without it, which was actually enjoyable.)

There’s a lot of great things about being a woman, and there’s a lot more to say for it today than a few decades ago and beyond that. But, sometimes it is nice to be a little weak in the eyes of your significant other, just for the sake of being swept off your feet or being kissed gently on your forehead and going all wobbly-kneed.

The best thing about being a “girl” is that I got to be my sons’ Mom.

The worst thing was probably being harassed by strangers as a teenager and not being able to walk around freely. Oh, and constantly having to make the choice between wearing comfortable shoes and being stylish!

best thing: boobs
worst thing: menstrual nonsense

i can’t think of much exclusive to girls besides physical stuff like that haha

@aiwendil – Oh, I didn’t say that I enjoyed PMS. I said I put up with the torture – I got two great kids, in return. I hated PMS…but in the grand scheme of things, if that is part of the reason why I wound up with two great kids, okay. I won’t complain.

@cak- Oh, I understood you. Just saying that I don’t yet have anything to make is worthwhile. Since you have your children, and I don’t have any, at least you can sort of “appreciate” it in an odd way.

+ I don’t have to touch my parts when I have to pee.
– PERIOD!

@cyndihugs great answer. I totally agree.
Girls are muchh more cleaner than boys—Favoriite
Period every month- LEast favorite

@cyndihugs I agree!!! :P Periods suck soo much :[

I like being a girl because i like all the make up and all the cute clothes :)
I hate the periods and shaving and stuff like that

how the hell did I stumble into this thread….

@ABoyNamedBoobs03 – maybe the fun tag? That’s how I got here

I can’t stand periods either. But they are no where near as bad as question marks!

it was in my “questions we think you’d like” tab…. uh… good call Fluther…

I’m not a woman in real life but I changed that in Second Life to see how it is and I found I got it easier talking and getting things from both men and women. Maybe because I made my hair and eyes etc all purrty. LoL

Best: having the potential to give birth some day
Worst: menstruation
And yes, they are related to each other.

@cyndihugs GA!!

I like it when gentlemen open doors for me.
I don’t like it when male chauvinists think I can’t open a door and walk in the building all by myself.
(I’m allowed to be illogical here…I’m a woman,afterall)

@basp- It makes sense, at least it does to me! There’s a proper way for a man to go about being chivalrous. ;)

Aiwendile
A sister in spirit… Nice to meet you. Welcome to fluther.

Hate: Menstrual cycle
Love: Everything else.

love: internal genitalia
hate: bleeding from said genitalia

Favorite: I loved being pregnant. Giving birth was the most amazing experience of my life, though labor & delivery were not exactly fun.

Least favorite: Society’s expectation for “girls” to look a certain way.

Having a penis.

oh, wait…

Least: Dear old Aunt Rose
Most: Getting the car door opened for you! or maybe that’s just my extremely amazing boyfriend. and since i’m pretty sure he would only date girls, this still counts.

I love everything about being a woman. Every single thing.
I’m strong, I’m independent, I’m a child bearer, I’m beautiful, I’m sensitive, I’m compassionate, I’m intelligent and I answer to no one. Sounds perfect to me.

I hate menstruation and love being a mom and grandmom the best but I really LOVE being a woman. Women can do guy and girl things while wearing really cool girl clothes. We can really enjoy guys without having to be in their locker room.
