Women Open Up About the Body Discomforts and Concerns That Come With Womanhood

It's 2024, as society has made some incredible, indelible breakthroughs regarding medicine, health, and equality. There's a lot to be thankful for; modern contraceptive methods, debunking and redefining terms like 'harassment' to be more inclusive, taking turns towards a more equal quality of life in terms of social and economical rights, yet life will never be fully fair. Despite all the positivity and breakthroughs there's something left to complain about: sometimes it just really sucks to be a girl.

Regardless of the modern medical world being shaped to better accommodate women, there's still some irrevocable factors that will always leave us bummed out regarding our bodies. It's not easy to be a woman, whether it's being catcalled and sexually shamed for your body, being told you're not good enough for your body, putting beauty on a pedestal as the highest element to define you as a woman, or just going through aches and pains of period cramps from our womanly bodies. Let us know if this piece resonates with you like it did with us.
