Whoever said that a woman’s life is easier than a man’s, and started this age-old (and still ongoing) debate was seriously wrong!

I mean look at all the things we have to go through – periods, PMS, pregnancy, parenting the men in our lives. Phew! This list is one that’s not going to end anytime soon.
But out of that list, we’ve thoughtfully picked out 17 things/moments/call-them-what you-wills that infuriate, frustrate, and disappoint us to no end. So, go ahead and have a little laugh, and don’t forget to share these with your girlfriends who happen to be in the same boat!

1. Wishful Thinking
Every time Fawad Khan appears on screen, you just want him to come out of the TV, onto your couch, and cuddle up with you! But, alas, if only you had a penny for every time you wished this, you’d be a very, very rich woman.
2. PMSing The Crap Out Of Yourself
I mean it’s a perfectly normal day; birds chirping, boss screaming… But you still can’t help but feel something’s terribly wrong. And it’s all thanks to your damned paranoia-causing hormones!
3. Marilyn Monroe? No, Thank You
As iconic as that moment might be, a windy day just doesn’t inspire you enough to let your skirt fly right up to your tummy and flash your underwear to every pervy passerby.
4. Bra On, Bra Off
You don’t need a clock to know what time it is! Bra = start of the day. Bra off = oh sweet lord, end of a long day!
5. Who Me? Umm, You Got The Wrong Girl
Typical day at work. New guy walks into the office. Looks at you and starts asking questions about when he can see the boss. You politely tell him you’re not the secretary. Few days later. Ditto. Happens every time.
6. But I Had Just Fixed It!
You walk out of the restaurant after fixing yourself and happen to glance at your reflection in a shop window, only to realize that your kajal has smudged already!
7. A Risk Not Worth Taking
Thinking of wearing white bottoms during your periods is like playing Russian roulette with your destiny. You don’t know when you’ll end up with a bright red stain!
8. More Rounds Of Starters, Main Course, And Dessert Please!
Going out for dinner means wondering if your date will judge you for pigging out and ordering way more food than he has on his plate.
9. That Bittersweet Monthly Visitor
The love-hate relationship you share with the crimson flow is one of a kind. On one hand, you curse its painful intrusion. On the other, the moment it arrives, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief – not pregnant, after all! And no down-there diseases either.
10. Oh God, Please Don’t Let That Happen To Me, Ever!
Vacationing on a remote island with your bae means hoping and praying that he doesn’t think of using the only conditioner bottle on this lonely island! So what if it’s not your favorite? It’s all you’ve got!
11. Those No Swim Days
Even if you badly want to take a dive in the temptingly blue water, you still can’t because who wants frizzy hair that’s impossible to tame? The tradeoff is just not worth it.
12. Our Kryptonite: Chocolate
It’s poison to our skin and waistline, but do we care? Nope. Who needs a boyfriend when you can curl up in your jammies with a giant bar of chocolate and watch your favorite romantic movie for the 26th time? No wonder this item is always on the top of your shopping list.
13. Bringing Out The Ninja In You Once Every Month
Only periods can do that. Not only do you learn to walk super stealthily like a ninja, but you also learn to hide your weapon (read: sanitary napkins and tampons) in your sleeve, so that nobody gets even an inkling of what you’re up to.
14. This Is The Color Of War
Lipstick shopping is a battle of the swatches on your hand. And there can only be one winner!
15. Broken Scrunchie = Broken Heart
And the same applies to hairbrushes, combs, bobby pins, and more. This is why we have to stock up on so many of these little things!
16. I’m Gonna Treat You Like A Baby!
That moment when you have only one scrunchie left and protect it with all your might, at least until you can go shopping again!
17. The Tragedy Of Shampooing
Maintaining lusciously long locks is serious business. On one hand, you need to shampoo them to keep them clean. And on the other, you lose so many strands to the shower drain. RIP my friends!
So, who said being a woman is easy? Our struggles are as real as they can get. Share this with the men in your life to let them know of all the toils and troubles you go through!
