What are six simple words that completely explain themselves? Girls have harder lives than boys... it’s that simple. But what definitely isn’t simple is girls lives. Girls go through many experiences through life that boys could never imagine or go through themselves (mainly because they are wimpy!), girls have pressure to be perfect, monthly visitors, and childbearing pains to summarize to the least of girls life of excitement. To most guys these everyday happenings in girls life are irrelevant, abnormal, and unspoken of. Sometimes a girl's worst enemy is themselves, but what really makes them this way is society. Starting at a very young age girls are given barbies to play with which tend to be thin, with long hair, and having a perfect …show more content…
We trick women to think they look better with makeup on”(Macklemore, Thin Lines) and this shouldn’t be how girls are being raised and tricked, society needs to step up to help girls know they are beautiful in their own individual ways without makeup, without being sickly thin, and without perfect skin but perfect as they are. Along with pressure to be perfect girls get a “gift” every month which is far from a gift, girls are overwhelmed with cramps, bleeding 24/7, bloating, emotional fluctuations, and headaches all for this “gift” of not choosing to carry a child starting at the average age of twelve. The gift of menstruation adds to girls stressful lives. Not only does menstruation add to women lives but childbearing...with comments from society such as “you’re too old,” “you’re too young,” or “why didn’t you have kids” when truly women should not have to avoid this conversation or judging just for the choice of no children or they are just growing up …show more content…

The issues men have to deal with compared to women are equal to the size of a microcell that can only be viewed by a microscope. Competitiveness is an issue that men have to experience but in reality it's just to show they are better than another individual when we should not compare our abilities to others since we are all not equal. Providing for a family can be hard at times but if men put all they can into providing, they will make the women happy and a happy women is a happy life. The six simple words broken down show that being a girl is definitely harder.

    Jean Kilbourne’s documentary “Killing Us Softly” and article “The More You Subtract, the More You Add” and Susannah Stern’s article “All I Really Needed to Know (About Beauty) I Learned by Kindergarten” shows that ads only sell products and not ideas. But behind the rose-tinted glass, ads show that women are being labeled by marketers. This leads to stereotyping and generalizations of women. When something becomes generalized by the population it is automatically accepted as the truth.…

    Analysis Of Like A Girl

    Whether intentionally or not, especially as a male, we all have used the term “like a girl” without a shadow of concern about the ramifications of such words. Our obnoxious preface that girls may be inferior, as evident by the phrase, has sadly been apparent since youth and changes the schema in which both genders view the world at hand. The people over at Always have created a campaign centered on the rhetoric of counter-thinking societal clichéd views. Growing up as male within a predominately female family (both immediate and extended) allowed me to see the fault in this line of thinking. Seeing athletic, intellectual or artistic abilities being dependent on the person rather than their gender for which my family proves time after time.…

    The media has such a huge impact on what people think is right and wrong and when it comes to body image, women and young girls often have a hard time finding a “realistic body” to compare to theirs. Advertisements in the media have given this false “ideal” body image that women and young girls try to compete with and obtain in order to be deemed beautiful in the eyes of others. This false image can lead to early dieting and eating disorders in adolescence and adulthood. At a young age girls are subjected to ideals on how they should look then and when they get older. According to Janet Shibley Hyde in Half the Human Experience: The Psychology of Women (2013) “There is little doubt that girls’ dissatisfaction with their bodies is powerfully…

    This is because women who consume a larger amount of mainstream media consider sexiness and overall appearance to be of greater importance than those who do not consume as much ("11 Facts About Body Image"). This ideal can begin to develop from as early as the age of nine years old. Puberty begins around the age of nine for most girls, and due to the ever changing state of their bodies at this point, girl’s confidence also begins to decline to cause a lack of self-esteem. Statistics show that “in Grade Six, 36% of girls say they are self-confident, but by Grade Ten this has plummeted to only 14%” ("The Facts About Girls in Canada"). This is because as girls experience puberty and begin to enter into adolescence, their confidence starts to lower sharply and they experience higher rates of depression ("The Facts About Girls in Canada").…
