- the monthly discomfort due to our periods
- the risks and difficulties of pregnancy, whether wanted or not
- the social pressures and expectations
But there's one thing that women have that somehow offsets all these - women have a strong support system, that thing we call our "sisterhood".
We can go into a party or a meeting without knowing anyone at all but go home with new gal pals.
When we have emotional burdens, all we have to do is call or buzz a girl-friend and pour out all our troubles - and they are always willing to listen.
Repetition doesn't bother us that much because we know that our friend feels better after re-telling her story for the nth time, even if no resolution has actually been decided or even discussed.
We fall in love and get hurt over and over again, and still, our girl-friends patiently sit beside us and hold our hands as we go through another heart break.
So no matter how difficult it may be to be a woman, I'm glad to be one. Because I know that through all those difficulties, my sisters will always be with me.
Cheers to you, sisters!
