When we, as women, joke about hating women. It's funny and meant to make us laugh. This, however, is not a joke. These are ten all-too-real things that I hate about being born a woman and identifying as a woman.

1. I hate that I am not considered complete until I find my husband who will somehow make my life perfect, whole, and fabulous. There is this idea that as a woman I am not successful until I properly create my family. I hear things like, "Just wait until you have kids," or "Don't worry, one day you'll meet your husband and everything will be fine." However, life is not something that ends when you meet your significant other and it does not wait to start until you start your family.

2. I hate that my emotions are judged and put aside because of my hormones since women are "just more hormonal than men."

3.I hate that I have to wear makeup. If I don't, I'm lazy and do not care about my appearance. If I do, I wear too much and I'm misleading or "fooling men".

4. I hate that I am labeled as one extreme or another. When starting a new relationship, we worry about being perceived as "slutty" or a "prude". We worry about the boundary between fun, too wild, and boring. Once you find that boundary and tread on that careful line, you are admired and desired. If you know this, you are considered conceited, but if you don't realize this, you're naive.

5. I hate that I have to shave when that's optional for men.

6. I hate that your harassment is supposed to be flattering. Your cat-calling, weird compliments, and odd suggestions are unappreciated. I don't care if my "ass don't quit." Please do not call me honey, sweetie, or babe. I'm not sure how I'm expected to respond when the Jimmy John's delivery guy tells me and my friends not to have "too much fun."

7. I hate that my body is not my own. A governing body, made mostly of men, decides what I can and cannot do with my body.

8. Every. Single. Thing. About. My. Period. The bloating, the blood, the hormones, the cramps. Oh my goodness, the cramps.

9. I hate that I have to be happy all the time. If you aren't happy, you aren't having a good time and that is completely unacceptable.

10. I hate that by writing this article, I will be labelled as a man-hating feminist.
