1. Getting ready. Men tend to get all annoyed with women when they take a long time to get ready. I realize now that it's just that it does indeed take a long time to put on make-up, put on the clothes, fix the hair, etc etc.
2. A man just shaves his face. A woman shaves her legs, which is around 20 to 25 times the surface area of the face!
3. Men usually don't worry about certain things like walking to their cars at night. I realize now, after having been followed and stalked at night, that women have need to be careful. There really is an open threat to women that men usually don't know through any first person experience. While getting cat-called is nice, there is a level of harrassment that happens that men don't deal with that women do. THis harrassment can be very annoying and sometimes downright scary. And this happens when i'm dressed conservatively!
4. Walking in heels! Heels can kill your feet, especially after long periods. I feel tense after a day at the office. Imagine how you'd feel a day at the office in heels! (In a way that sounds nice, but in another way i can see how it would 'sound' nice to a CD who hasn't done it but really, in actuality, wouldn't be so nice).
5. Getting up, getting into and out of your car, sitting down are activities that you don't 'just' do when you're wearing a skirt. You have to be careful!
6. Just wearing makeup for hours, you always have to make sure it's doing well on your face, not cracking, drying, rubbing, being smudged, etc. There are many things of which a woman must be conscious.
There are many others. Now, on top of this, imagine having terrible abdominal pains every month? Menstruation? Hats off to women!
