When it comes to gender differences, there are many things that women do that men may never think about.
Women often have to navigate through societal expectations and gender roles that are unique to their experiences. These expectations can manifest in a variety of ways, including the way women dress, the way they interact with others and the way they approach their careers. A woman asked this question “What do women do, that men would never think about?” on Reddit and the post was filled with thousands of replies that we all could relate to. Here, we have compiled 16 of these answers. Scroll down to have a look at these.
A Redditor posted in the subreddit AskWomen and women have come out with shocking answers:

One thing that women do that men may never think about is the way they prepare for and experience menstruation. Every month, women have to navigate through the physical and emotional symptoms of their menstrual cycle. This can include cramping, bloating, mood swings, and fatigue. Women may have to take time off work or school to deal with these symptoms, or they may have to carefully plan their schedules around their menstrual cycle. Men, on the other hand, may never have to think about menstruation at all.

8. Why do men think we only have pubic/armpit/leg hair?
Another thing that women do that men may never consider is the constant pressure they face to look a certain way. Women are bombarded with images of “perfect” bodies and beauty standards that are often unattainable. Women may spend hours each day applying makeup, styling their hair, and carefully selecting their clothing in order to conform to these standards. Well, some of us may not do these things to conform to the beauty standards but we would do these things because we like doing them but men would never understand the effort and the time it takes for all these things.
