Growing old. Yea sure even men grow old too. But it seems that when women grow old it's like suddenly you're gonna be shoved to a corner or something. Most of divorces are due to infidelity. And unfortunately, it is women who are replaced more by younger women by their husbands. The percentage of that seems to be higher. That's why there's a lot of plastic surgery stuff cropping up because if you still want to be appreciated ... unfortunately looks are very important, no matter how wise, good, or nice you are. Then there's the crazy stuff that happens. Menopause - which they say is quite an experience. And it seems we go through a lot more of the process of aging. I dunno, but that's how I see it.

I honestly dont think there is one answer for all women...I mean what may be difficult for one could very well be a breeze for another ya know... Looking at my life, I personally can't think of anything that is difficult at all let alone one thing more difficult over another...To be honest with you I'm glad for that fact really...I couldnt imagine what life would be like constantly feeling like something is 'difficult' on a regular basis ya know....

there is no one thing that is the most difficult, different women will say different things, the same with a man, there is no one most difficult thing it depends upon the man.

The most difficult thing is also the most privileged thing - th rearering of children... they are a reflection of you, and you have to battle society and its mores to raise them decent.

Men! Of course! But they can also be the most rewarding. Obviously the biggest thing to have to deal with is the fact that there are some places not just on earth but in our own community where a stupid man is respected more than a smart woman. It makes our work much harder. All the other issues can be dealt with, but senseless discrimination, is well, just senseless!

For me, the most difficult aspect of being a woman is raising good children, whether they are your biological children or not, being a mom is tough job. What your child will become reflects on what kind of person you are, sometimes, being a mom is not even that rewarding but then, that is responsibility in which we cannot resign from.

The most difficult thing to deal with is the attitude of people that women are second class citizens! Please note that I said people and not men...because I find that men and women - both think that women should not have equal right as men...the main one being the right to choose!

I think the most difficult time of my life was delivering children and raising all girls. I wouldn't change a thing in my life and love my kids but it wasn't an easy job. Patience and persistence pays off when raising a family. Had 3 teenagers at once and also had all 3 in college at the same time. Seven years difference between the oldest and youngest. Today I am a very proud Mom and grandma.

I think it can be summed up in one word: Stereotyping. Quite frankly, I'm sick of being told what a woman "should do" with her life. You "should" get a career, but only until a certain age. You "should" get married, but only at a certain age. You "should" have children as soon as you get married. You "should" act one way. You "should" look this way. I think it's all completely ridiculous. My gender does not define my lifestyle.

Men, definitely men! lol No seriously I think most women pile a lot of pressure on themselves to do everything and do it as close to perfect as they possibly can! xxx

I don't know more about the problems of womens because they have many problems that they want to handle but as i know & feel the main problem with every girl or women is "Teasing". When someone tease her on the road or any where then might be they feel very unconscious and night be very guilty...

I think the hardest one would be giving birth. It is just unbelievable.

I am not a female... but from what i see in my wife is having her period. She goes thru depression, muscle aches, and etc. I could handle that but not all at once. So when she goes thru that i try to help out the most. Take her out to get or to stores so she can forget it all about that.
