The sexism and misogyny is what I absolutely loathe. Also, there are never enough positive female role models in real life and fiction. I don't like periods, risk of pregnancy and breast cancer but it isn't as bad as the social consequences of being a woman.


I hate that women's boundaries are seen as 'negotiable' or non-existent by men, that women aren't taken as seriously (both in politics and health), mail-order brides still exist, menstrual huts still exist, and that men still do not treat women as fellow humans. We are not sex toys, we are not domestic slaves, we are not incubators. I hate that women's spaces are often disrespected and colonized by men. I could easily write an essay on how many awful things are forced upon women.
