I enjoyed reading this in the contest and agree with you. I can't imagine being a man. When I was in high school, there were no sports for women because it wasn't good for us. Now we have sports, but men are claiming to feel like females (I think frequently that is a lie, although I have a friend transitioning and that is fine because he isn't competing in anything) and proving their bodies are more competent at winning women's sports. How is that fair?

I found your writing for the Being Female an interesting read....
Loads to think about...
You are right men do suppress women because they tend to be afraid of them... How sad is that!!!

That's very good, and he makes a very valid points too I was accustomed to and less still do here in Canada. Hardly seems fair. Very well written by see no issues with Grammar punctuation sentence structure subject matter. "Amazing pay rise" did you mean to day raise?
This is a great submission good luck to you. I hope you have a great night!

Thank you so much, Lea for a great review. No I meant 'pay rise'. As I wrote it was a lot of money. Thanks again, :)))

I loved your message. I am very happy being female and always have been.
I too have seen many changes in this world regarding the rights and equalities of women in my 75+ years.
Lately it seems like parts of the world where women were once considered lower in every aspect of men had started to change their thinking... only to have new leaders trying to suppress them again. It's kind of sad.
We are definitely blessed to live in a corner of the world where women are able to excerpt their rights... but, with that being said...especially in the workplace, there is still a need for improvement in equality of men vs women. Thanks for sharing this thought provoking message with us.

Thank you for sharing this 'Being a Female' contest entry with us. Yes, being a female is difficult, but it can be done. I agree, females are coming under attack in many societies. Good luck with this contest.

Omg - I just wrote a long review for this story and my device glitched. I will not repeat it but raise my glass to you and all the natural women out there. A sound write and strong contender. Good luck.

You should be proud of being a woman! You have cleverly pointed out the reasons why women are not equal in some places and are under threat because of the new age in the so-called modern societies. I remember days when women were not paid equally, This is a tale easily read, and a lesson to all. I wish you well in the contest. Like you, I would not want to be a man
