After giving this a lot of thought, I would have to concede that, all things considered, we men have it easier than women in this life. Here are some reasons why I came to this conclusion…
Physically:
From the moment puberty hits, females have to deal with a body that hurts/cramps and actually bleeds every 4 weeks or so. And the hormone swings that happen during menstruation can be intense and very difficult. When women become sexually active, they have to constantly be concerned with the fact that they could be impregnated, which means having to decide whether to take birth control measures that have an affect on their body, or having to constantly insist on a guy wearing a condom or decide on no penetrative vaginal sex at all. Not to mention that some of the women I know have actually told me that vaginal sex is painful for them all the time. They like sex, but it almost always hurts.
Obviously, men have it far easier than women when it comes to procreation. Carrying a growing human inside her body for 9 months and then having to push that entire human out of her body through the same size hole that is made to receive the penis ain’t no joke. We men have no idea what that is like.
As a general rule, most females are not as physically strong as most males, which can be a detriment at times for some women. Then, as women age, there are other uniquely female physical issues, such as menopause, which can be extremely difficult, osteoporosis, and the risk of cervical and breast cancer.When puberty hits for boys, it usually just means the testicles drop, the penis grows larger, the voice drops, and sexual interest multiplies exponentially. That’s about it. When males become sexually active, they have little to no concern about pregnancy for themselves physically. Penetrative vaginal sex nearly always feels pleasurable to the guy, it almost never hurts. And though the risk for testicular cancer in men is real, and requires regular self exams (in the shower, guys!) and yearly doctor examinations, it remains, thankfully, a fairly low risk. The one area where men probably have it worse than women physically is that when men age they can have prostate issues which can cause a lot of problems.
But overall, men have it easier than women from a physical standpoint.
Socially:
Females are victims of sexual abuse, sexual assault, sexual molestation, and sexual harassment at far higher rates than males. It doesn’t mean these things don’t happen to boys and men, they do. I was a victim of sexual abuse as a boy (by a woman), so I am no stranger to that fact. But the fact remains, that it happens far more to females.
Girls and women are subjected to unwanted sexual advances far more than boys and men. Being cat called and sexually objectified is an all too common experience for most females. Even in the media, women are often treated as a little more than objects of sexual interest or attention. Again, these things are true for males as well, but not nearly as much as they are for females.
Employment:
It is no secret that women receive less pay for the same work as men, still, in our society. And it can be an uphill battle all the way for women to compete in a male dominated corporate world. There are inequities throughout the working world that put women at a disadvantage in many ways. There have been vast improvements, but we still have a lot of work to do to make things more fair. Having said all that, it should also be said that women and men are indeed, different, and have different skill sets. So some jobs are just inherently more suited for one gender or the other.
Relationships:
In my view, when it comes to relationships, women have it worse than men in a lot of ways. Men can be distant, uncommunicative, aggressive, unemotional and crude. Not all men, of course (I’m not one of those!), but I can’t tell you how many women I know who are in hopeless relationships with these kinds of difficult men. Women aren’t without their faults, for sure, but I still feel that, overall, women have it worse than men when it comes to relationships.
In Summation:
For these reasons and more, it is my humble opinion that men have it easier than women in this life.
Most Helpful Opinions
Women tend to have it a little bit easier, in most cases. Not all start or end the same, so there are exceptions.
But women can be both modern feminist and traditional at the same time. They can easily have sex with one. They have white knights, especially the legal system, that will assume anything she says as the truth. Anything the guy says as likely not the truth.
A woman can go to work, and in many companies work less hours, but now make more money because of the myth of the wage gap.
A woman can choose to go to work,. or stay home and care for children. It takes a special woman to "Let" her husband stay home and care for the children, and not divorce him later on when she loses respect for him.
Men generally have to go to work, and most have to work longer hours, sometimes far risker jobs and stress to keep money coming in to care for his family. Women can too, and some women work every bit as hard as a guy, but this is the exception, and not the rule.
Women have to manage everyone's expectations, have to bear the children and most have to sacrifice this middle age life to raise and care for a family. She will have far more medical issues generally and will often have anxiety and depression issues.
Women also have a shelf life, if single. Some women begin to show signs of aging as young as 35, but most are showing signs or not attractive to most men after 55. And this is not guy's fault, as they are programmed to breed with young and fertile women, and why men always prefer younger.
Women like to shop and stay in debt. This is attached to her nesting instincts to keep her home stocked for her and her children. Before liberated, she had to ensure her man could provide. Now that she can provide, there are now many men out of the picture. It's really odd how invisible these guys are to women, and they constantly beg and try to get with women to no avail. The younger ones become Incels, the older ones get professional help.
The spin cycle just keeps going, but women have it easier, but only because the system wants to treat her the best they can. As more women seek out equality, the more she will be not as lifted by society and have to fight for everything she has, just like guys have always had it.
And the vehicle for that has been the trans. They are showing guys that women are nothing more than weaker. men with boobs and vagina. If you have makeup and put a dress on it, he can look just as good as many women. And this is not making them trans or gay. It's devaluing what women have traditionally had over men. As more women let themselves go, the more they will be just another person who deserves nothing more than how clever and witty she is to get it. No longer taking what many women take for granted right now.
Both men and women have our own unique issues and problems that the other likely does not understand. I think the issue comes when we judge the opposite sex by OUR own feelings and/or priorities. One great example I often see is when men say that women have it easy b/c we can so easily have sex whenever we want... Yet most women are not like men and we don't want meaningless sex with multiple partners! Yes, CLEARLY some women DO. but we deal in the rule not the exception when discussing generalized issues like this.
There are many ways in which we women think men have it easy... men don't have to worry about getting raped just walking home after work or school late at night. men don't get catcalled, or sexually harassed or propositioned multiple times a day. And while yes, some men DO get raped, it's not nearly as much as women (unless you count the prison population), and men (for the most part) would love to be sexually propositioned multiple times a day. but men do not think like we do, and we do not think like men! there are PLENTY of ways in which life sucks for men... Just a few are prison sentencing disparities, over 90% of workplace deaths are men, and men get absolutely screwed in family courts when it comes to custody and the ridiculous idea of alimony! However, on the whole, I truly do believe that both men and women have challenges in life which are soul crushing! it's just that what is terrible for us, may not be so bad for most men, and what is terrible for men, may not seem all that bad to most of us. It's not about who has it better or worse, it's an issue of why do we find it SO difficult to put ourselves in someone else's shoes, and see the world from THEIR point of view? I think if we did, there would be a LOT fewer people asking this question day after day on GAG.
Life is never easy for anyone the only thing guys don't have to be worried about is being raped or pervert attention

I think the grass is greener on the other side. See, in life many times men and women have advantages and disadvantages in things.
Both can have it easier….. but on a whole, I think women do. Here’s why. They have the most powerful thing going for them. This thing has destroyed nations. This has kept life going on this planet for centuries….. this thing is never going to get old. Once you know how to use the benefits of it, it can make life very easy. If you haven’t guessed by now, it’s a strong smart man. Lol got ya! Yeah that other thing helps get the strong smart man, but the man will always be there for a living woman. And for this reason I would say women have it easier.
You can also look up the stats on men and women and see that men earlier than women on average too. Which isn’t a perfect example of how men have it harder but if we are being fair it kinda makes sense. Throughout history men have been the ones doing the dangerous work going all the way back to the times of hunting the big prey. This same fact can be seen today with mostly all of the dangerous/hard jobs being occupied by men. We can go back and forth between the easiest ways women can make money with just showing feet or boobs on camera, to how men have it easy because there are better paying jobs available to the skill sets we are practically born with. We can also bring up how women have to birth children and raise them for the most part even when fathers are present a majority of the time…. But I still think women have it easier by a large margin. This doesn’t go for all women. And this doesn’t mean that it’s still not hard for women either. I just think when it’s all said and done that women have it easier on average. I’m pretty confident about it too.
Let's take a look at the obvious things

It's not like men wake up one day and decide "Ohhh wow! I feel so empowered! that's it. Starting today I'm going to join the top 20% of men, that the ladies are after" or "I'ma get rich overnight selling my sexy nudes". No one has turned into someone like Brad Pitt, Christian Grey or a millionaire in a short time. It has never worked like that.

In fact you'll encounter more a much higher number of trans-girls than trans-men. Some men get the idea that it's easier/better to be a woman and then get on surgeries and hormone replacement therapy and turn into women and continue their life as such. Their chances of succeeding and achieving happiness is increased. It's not a disease, it's a natural consequence of modern life. Hell even women are into women.Meanwhile there's been a story of a trans-man committing suicide.
Figures
That depends, in what way? Without questions the expectations of women are much lower across the board in the workplace. But does that make it easier for women? A woman has to work twice as hard to be taken seriously by a male dominated workplace. Not to mention she has the double standard of being a woman. If a guy is ruthless he's feared and respected for it. If a woman is she's just regarded as a b****.
These are gross generalizations I'll admit. But the question is pretty broad and general.
Women has one hard choice in life, the rest can be easy if you are just willing to take life as it comes. Men needs to struggle through life at least if he wants to live an acceptable life. Few men are born with a golden spoon. Those are the only ones that can live an easy life, but that is especially true for women.
Women do , not to say they don’t have their own hardships. But Men create programs and institutions so that women are and their children are taken care of.
Men have to suck it up and just keep going. No sympathy just straight tough love.
Only personal experience: my life is easier than that of any of my female friends. I don't bleed for several days every 28 or so days. I don't get hit on all the time by weird people while going about my day. I don't have others assume any of my success is because I slept my way there.
Women's life in general is easier. They just have to spread there legs, and have good body and face to do it like that.
Now, here is the fun part. Pious women have just as hard life as men. So, if you want to be a hoe that's easy but if you want to be an angel then no, life is hell for youWho gives a shit who has it easier or harder? Like focus on bettering yourself instead of bitching about how hard things are.
I think we both have our own different issues but it's hard to say which one lives an easier life.
Neither men and women come with their own sets of problems, and then if you go into race, it makes it even harder, so no bodies life is easier and nobodies. Life is lesser than.
I thought and thought and thought and I have come to conclusion that both sex have difficult lives. It's just how you see it and how you embrace it
In the USA/Canada/Europe, women overall have life easier.
Africa/Asia? ehh not so much.
OMFG, women live lives on super -easy mode, because men make the world in which they live.
Depends in what way. Men have easier in some aspects of life and women in others.
Women live life on easy mode. Men have civilized the world for them and the women are still not happy.
