Ya your right. It is just a safe way to know the other persons age when you get into PM's. Because, if I am talking to someone in PM's and then find out they are under 18 -- it would make me feel unwell. I would have to disengage talking with that person, and question was my statements was to adult for a minor. That is the reason I ask for age first. Sure, it could be a minor on the other side, but the risk is low, and I am sure the minor is not going to be lying of their age being as a adult.

Tripping over my sagging boobs before I get showered and dressed. One long term goal I have is breast reduction surgery.

I don’t think I hate anything about being female. I would prefer to be a girl than a guy. I don’t enjoy getting harassed by some men sometimes, but I wouldn’t want to generalise that ‘men’ are like that because they aren’t. I’m sure they don’t like being labelled. I don’t like that at my work I sometimes am considered weaker by customers when it comes to lifting heavy products, like I ‘can’t’ or ‘shouldn’t’ do it. I’m not also very confident in myself and find myself somewhat repulsive. But all of that I don’t think is things I hate about being female, but things I dislike that come with being female. If that makes sense.

It's not that I hate about being a female, I just hate the PMS I have to deal with right before my period.

My emotions are horrible right before my period. Emotions are all over the place and I often get very very sad, angry or I don't feel anything at all.

I hate the way it makes me feel. I can't wait until the day where I don't get it anymore.

I don't like the pressure to shave my body, be submissive to men, be feminine, settle down and have kids, etc. My periods are very short (two days) and usually not that bad, although I sometimes get these extremely painful ones that keep me from leaving the house. I'd rather be a woman than a man though so it's not that bad lol.

For me, I hate my breasts...

It's not so much the breasts themselves...
I am always worried about cancer and usually when my PMS acts up, I get pain in my breasts and my immediate worry every time is "OMG cancer!"

And I hate my breasts because they are "lumpy" feeling, so it's hard to tell actual lumps versus normal breast tissue...

I hate everything about being a woman. Men have all the power. Men get treated with respect. I'm 56 and I've never met a decent man. I have MS and every doctor, for 25 years, has treated me like dirt. I'd much rather be a man and have power and respect.

in the land of equal opportunity i hate that women get paid less than men for the same jobs, and statistically its usually proven, the misogyny i run into make me angry wild. sexism is infuriating. i have always hated the mess of periods, The invasion of personal space with pelvic and breast exams. (health is important i know but i dont have to like my space violated) Boobs!! they are seen as a sex object and nearly always in the way. i havent met a comfortable bra other than a sports bra since i was in my early 20s and im not paying a fortune for the pleasure to hold my junk up!! Society telling me i should put i full battalion of crap on my face and in my hair and weigh X to be normal. Clothing choices presented that i hate. Shaving my damn legs. lol!! there. i didnt know i didnt like so much. haha

I'm truly happy with being a woman. I wouldn't want to be a man. Yuck

The one part of being a woman I do not like is how harshly we are judged by other people on our appearance. Whether that means someone sees us as lovely or as not lovely, it's all about judgment.

I, too despise having a period, but now that I'm 45, I worry about menopause and facial hair and mood swings and hot flashes, etc. I haven't hit menopause yet, but I've gotten a nodule on my thyroid and gained a ton of weight. I am slated to see an endocrynologist in the future, that is, if the VA's records reflect the last referral before I relocated out of state; I really need to figure out if I'm now perimenopause. It's affecting my chronic fatigue syndrome, weight, and temperature - not to mention moods.

And then, to add insult to injury, us females in society have been accused of being "too hormonal." I hate that label, that attribution, that stigma.

I've also lost my sex drive completely, though I've always had issues with sex since I am a victim of sexual assault (adulthood) and sexual abuse (childhood). Being female has made it harder for me to cope.
Thanks for this!

I dislike the small boundary crossings by men that occur regularly, but which are so small that if you speak up about them, most people will consider it an overreaction.
