Good reply and you illustrate that both genders have their downsides and challenges. For every complaint of women, there is a complaint that men can make.

For example, women often complain about how they have to dress differently from men. Well I've been saying for years how that looks from a male standpont. Up until fairly recently, men didn't have much choices in how they dressed in the workplace. For decades, the company I spent my career working for mandated suits and ties, wingtips, and prohibited most facial hair and even longer hair in men. On the other hand, women had a huge range of options for their dress and none of them included having to wear a tie!

I especially remember the hot, humid days of summer, when I had to slog to work in a woolen suit with jacket, heavy shoes, and a dress shirt buttoned up to my neck with a tie. Meanwhile, women employees (of similar rank) showed up on those days in light skirts, sundresses, sleeveless blouses, and almost nothing on their feet. The male equivalent to that would be shorts, polo shirt and sandals. But that was never an option for most men working professional jobs.

It is what it is, but my point is that every complaint about being a woman can be matched by the men.

I never understood why they insist we tie a slip knot around our throats. And that is extremely uncomfortable.
