Let's face it - girls go through a ton of struggles that guys will just never understand. From plucking to waxing, preening to grooming, there are some problems that only women will connect to. Sure, guys might have their own set of issues, but these are the four problems that only girls understand.

1) The disgusting amount that undergarments cost

Quick quiz for anyone who hasn't been shopping in a while. Check out this bra from Victoria's Secret. How much do you think it retails for?

$25? $45? Nope, nearly sixty freaking dollars. For one bra! One bra that you will inevitably sweat all over, destroy when the wiring pokes through and punctures a lung, or just stop fitting because one boob decides to become bigger than the other one. Sure, you can go cheaper with your bras than VS, but if you want the girls to stay in their assigned seats and not have bleeding nipples by the end of the day, you really need to spring for quality here. And this doesn't even begin to cover the price-gouging going on in the panty industry. How is a piece of fabric that's less than half a meter squared justified to cost $12? And God forbid you're an unusual size, then you're forced to pay sometimes twice as much. It's a racket that we can't escape.

2) Removing every piece of hair from your body

If the hair isn't on your head, it's expected to be waxed or shaved off, pronto. Guys have to shave their face (sometimes — the homeless look is coming back into style recently) but girls have to also shave our legs, armpits and gasp, yes, some of us even shave our faces and arms, depending on how hairy we are. I'm sick of pretending that I'm naturally as smooth as a waxed dolphin jumping out of the ocean.

3) The disaster that is that time of the month

Remember those $12 panties you bought up in step one? Well, get ready for them to be absolutely destroyed by your own uncontrollable body function. Oh sure, it's cliche for girls to complain about their periods, but it's true - guys will never understand how painful, gross, and awful it really is. Cramps are awful; sometimes they're so bad that we have to miss school or work to curl up in bed with a cup of herbal tea and a pint of ice cream. And don't even get me started on the price of tampons and pads. Truly the worst.

4) How weirdly specific our articles of clothing are.

If you're a guy, choosing an appropriate outfit for any given event is like taking a multiple choice test with only two options: suit or khakis and button down. You have a 50% chance of getting it right if you closed your eyes and just picked something at random. Now for women? We seem to have a specific piece of clothing for every event on planet earth. Prom? Gotta go buy a prom dress. Homecoming? For some reason, homecoming dresses are different. Working at an art gallery? Completely different wardrobe than working in an office. Going to a wedding? Gotta buy a wedding dress you'll only wear once. Or, if you're not the bride, you'll need to pull out Pantone's complete color itinerary to find a garment with an acceptable color to fit in with the bride's wedding party that's not black, definitely not white, and not green ether because Kelly hates green and doesn't want it in her photos. Gag.
