I am female and recently I have been turning more and more against god. I have been driving myself crazy wondering why on earth he created the concept of gender in the first place and why he made the stupid decisions he made. And if it wasn't god, then nature and its processes in making our species.

First of all, why did he/nature make women physically weaker in the first place? I know the classic answer is, "Because men were the hunter-gatherers", but wouldn't it have been better for our species if both genders were strong? It does not make sense to purposely make one gender weaker than the other. Wouldn't it be more efficient to make everyone with the same physical strength so we could all take turns in the physical labour? I absolutely hate feeling like I'm in the weaker side of the human species, purely because I was born female. I know I could work out to gain bigger muscles etc, but why wasn't it default?

2) Why does menstruation even exist? It didn't have to exist at all: all the pain and mess could have been avoided right from the start. I do not see how bleeding involuntarily from the legs, feeling moody and generally not being your best once a month can be beneficial for anyone. If men menstruated, it would be declared a fault of evolution and rectified immediately with free menstrual suppressants. Women are told not to moan and to "get on with it", even by other women. When you think about it, 12 weeks of every year are wasted on being miserable and not being at your optimum performance. That's a lot of wasted time.

And it breaks my heart when I hear about women in poorer countries having all kinds of problems with having periods because they do not have the facilities or supplies, while the men can just go on about their lives without having to worry about this horrible inconvenience ever. How could a loving god/nature do this to a group of people?

3) You would think that to make up for our physical weakness, we women would have mental superiority to compensate the difference, but we don't. It has been proven that men are generally more intelligent and have higher IQs. They are the best scientists, artists, musicians, authors and generally make a bigger impact on the world.

I know you can point out influential women in the above fields (Lisa Meitner, Marie Curie, Florence Nightingale, the Bronte sisters, Georgia O'Keeffe) but they are exceptions rather than the rule. And I know the above women have made wonderful- and life-saving - contributions to the world, but when people think of famous contributors to the world they always think of men first (Albert Einstein, Shakespeare etc). Then men still stand out.

Some one please give me a good answer. Not "Oh stop moaning", "It's not worth thinking about" "Accept your place god has assigned you" etc. I don't like the "role" god/nature has assigned me: that's the whole point of this series of questions. I want to know if anyone else has these questions too, because I feel like I live in a world where people won't stop and think about these kind of things.
