Because being a woman is amazing and also kinda sucky at the same time.
By Carlie Fox — Written on Sep 28, 2019
It is no secret that women are powerful beings.
We carry a whole person in our bodies for nine months, endure extremely painful menstrual cramps, deal with lumps swinging from our chest as we try to run down the stairs and undergo harassment from men way too often.
Women are not to be messed with – We are way too strong to deal with any negativity. When the world throws curve balls at us, we stick together and laugh through the hard times.
I think I can speak for all the ladies out there when I say we deal with a lot of crap. Sometimes, the best way to brush off the burdens placed upon us is to make jokes about them. Yeah, we bleed and constantly worry about getting pregnant and have to take annoying birth control pills. Yeah, we also have to deal with not being portrayed fairly in the media sometimes. Yeah, we have to deal with stupid standards society places on us daily. But, we have the power to laugh at the negatives and turn them into light hearted positives.
Am I right ladies?
