Men will never understand the issues women face every day. While some say that woman are "emotional", we actually just have a lot to deal with and we constantly have a million things on our minds.
1. Periods
Men do not know the amount of stress this week puts on us. From planning our outfits, dealing with cramps and bloating, and not to mention figuring out when it is going to happen, it is the worst time of every month.
2. Lower wages
Believe it or not, as of last year women only make 80 cents for every dollar a man makes.
3. Feminism
Feminists have a terrible reputation. We have been called "emotional", "hot-headed", "irrational", and many other insulting names. People have also criticized feminists saying that we either have nothing to complain about, or that we are complaining about too much and we need to pick one subject to focus on.
4. Our appearance
Everyone has an opinion on what women "should" look like. It is constantly in magazines, TV, and other forms of the media that women should be thin, tall, and have perfect hair and makeup 24/7. As all women know these are impossible standards. Yet, the media still tells up that we should have a "thigh gap" and a smokey-eye every day. We're also expected to have trendy outfits, with perfect shoes, jewelry, and an expensive purse. While men just have to have pants and a shirt with buttons and they're ready.
5. Weaker gender
Old stereotypes say that women are the weaker gender. Although, according to Facts from Fiction, childbirth can be equivalent to fracturing 20 bones at once. It can also last several hours.
6. No Power
It is pretty common knowledge that women do not hold a lot of powerful positions. According to the Center for American women and Politics (CAWP), as of 2015, women hold 104 seats in Congress (out of 535), 20 women are in the Senate, and 84 are in the house of representatives.
7. Emotions
Men constantly say that women are too emotional. There are disgusting examples in the media of men saying that women cannot work in high pressure jobs because of their periods, emotions, and their "drama". But let's be honest, is it so bad that women feel things differently than men? Maybe we are more emotional but that does not mean we are less qualified for any job.
8. Families
Men never have to worry about children the way women do. When women in politics are interviewed, reporters constantly ask where their children are or who is taking care of them, Something male politicians are never asked.
