Don't often rant but need to.
Being a woman is hard.
The societal pressure from an early age.
Puberty, pain, bleeding.
Weight fluctuations.
Bad skin.
Moodswings.
Hormones.
Headaches.
More societal pressure.
Achy breasts.
More pain.
More bleeding - every fucking month

Pregnancy.
Sickness.
Hormones.
Worry.
Aches.
SPD.
Being beaten up from inside.

GIVING BIRTH (thats a whole other chapter)

Postpartum bleeding.
After pains.
Excruciating breasts.
Cracked nipples.
Postpartum weight fluctuations.
Postpartum sweating.
Postpartum hairloss.
Terrible skin.

Then back to the monthly cycle of yet more bleeding.

Every month the same.
Every contraceptive has its pitfalls.
The coil - hurts
The injection - hurts
The implant - hurts
The pill - cue a myriad of hormonal issues.

Then MENOPAUSE.

Vaginal dryness.
Mood swings.
Sadness.
Hot flashes... etc.

Rant over. Feel better.
