Being a girl sucks 🤌🏻🤌🏻

do girls actually enjoy being girls? it might feel nice to dress up, put makeup, but apart from these outward things, whats so good about being a girl?

first of all, "women in the kitchen". 🔪

times have changed. women work now. and i dare say there are many women who are more ambitious than men. even if lets say husband and wife shares household chores 50-50, he will try to help around the house, somehow i just feel they cant execute the tasks as well as women.

also, they have to be prompted to do the housework which was initially part of their share, cause it just doesnt come naturally. basically things only gets done when pushed, not proactively. its quite exhausting to always be the one who ends up doing everything, or have to use up additional energy to ask men to help out.

second of all, can we please talk about how in laws treat us like pure garbage? 🗑️

why is it that ILs treat daughter in laws like shit, but treat sons in laws like gods? i feel unjust that as women we sacrifice alot in life for the men / children, but somehow we are never appreciated fully by anybody.

to make things worse, ILs always think they are better than their daughter in law. are they really though? have some humility please. the worst type of ILs are those that dont let their sons go and they come in to crowd the marriage, putting a strain on it. please focus on your own marriages (which is doing like crap) before meddling into an otherwise no-issue marriage until you came into it.

i can literally write never ending episodes on ILs because thats how bad it is experiencing it from a women's perspective. i dont believe im the only one going through pure shit with ILs. wishing other girls living with ILs strength to not pull out the rest of your hair from the frustration.

thirdly, women's strength. 🫴🏻

why are we so weak compared to men, unless we become gymrats? im talking about how hard it is to break free when men pin us down. somehow i just feel even if we workout the same amount as men, we just grow muscles slower or smth. we'll always be the weaker species.

its so scary that without the use of drugs to knock the person out, women are usually the ones who cannot break free from men but men can break free from women easily.

because of a night where my FIL used his body and arm strength to prevent me from leaving the house, 2 months later today i still couldnt get over that night. i swore to myself to build up my strength. and ultimately decided to go for sports that teaches self defence. even if we cant be as strong as men, i think we can still try to make do and ensure we can fight back as much as possible. men who sees women as weak and take advantage of us, should eat shit for the rest of their lives.

last for the day, why is it so hard to lose weight? 🤌🏻

societal norms depicts that girls, especially asians, have to be skinny and small size. but nobody really sees what goes on behind the scenes - pcos? eating disorder? stress eating? bad genes? who knows. belly big - we have a womb which takes up more space internally than men. it should be OKAY to be bloated. or fat after birth. why are we judged and penalised for it? we literally create life. what have boys done while we did that?

anw, women are the superior gender. i dont care what men think. women are superheros, and we should be appreciated more.

ok that’s it for today thx for reading my rant 🤡

... Read moreBeing a girl comes with many unspoken challenges that often get overlooked. From my personal experience, societal and family pressures weigh heavily on women, especially when it comes to maintaining relationships and household responsibilities. One thing I've learned is that much of this pressure stems from outdated expectations—the assumption that women naturally excel at domestic chores or should sacrifice endlessly for their family. It's important to highlight how emotional labor and relationship management often fall disproportionately on women, which can be exhausting over time. When in-laws treat daughters-in-law unfairly, it adds another layer of stress that many women face silently. This imbalance in respect and appreciation is something I believe deserves more open discussion, so women don’t feel isolated in their struggles. Physical strength differences between men and women can also affect safety and confidence. I had a frightening experience that motivated me to pursue self-defense, something I highly recommend for any woman wanting to feel empowered. Even if we cannot match men in physical strength naturally, learning skills to protect ourselves is a crucial step towards reclaiming autonomy and safety. Finally, the societal pressure to conform to certain body standards is a real issue—especially with conditions like PCOS or post-pregnancy changes that affect weight. We often hear that women 'must' be thin or petite, but few recognize the complexity behind body changes. It’s important to embrace body positivity and give ourselves grace for natural differences, including the amazing ability to create life. Overall, while being a girl comes with its challenges, there is immense inner strength and resilience that deserves recognition and celebration. Sharing these candid thoughts is my way of connecting with others who might feel similarly, and reminding us all that we are superheroes in our own right.

Hello, as a guy, I really admire some traits of a lady. You all generally have better pain tolerance, more meticulous, and also more thoughtful & empathetic. These are very valuable too! I think what you’ve mentioned are true to some degree, but I personally thought there are some human elements that can’t be controlled, so don’t blame yourself (or your identity) too much. Sorry to hear about those instances!!

No, because I used to feel the same way. But now I love being a girl. I don’t know what made my mind shift, but my husband likes to help me out with all the hard stuff.

If there’s one thing that consistently makes me internally roll my eyes, it’s the quiet, or not-so-quiet entitlement some guys have about dating a "hot girl." I mean, I get why they want someone hot, all of us do. Attractiveness is a huge form of social currency, and physical attraction

In Singapore, it is SUPER RARE to find a girl my height. For context, I’m 1.85m. I’ve come to accept that Singapore is not meant for tall people: clothes are more catered to skinnier and smaller sized women and public transport is made for shorter people e.g. leg space in the bus, having to bend do
