Men have harder jobs, work longer hours, get punished infinitely more legally, have absolutely no say in abortion / keeping babies, get drafted to die in wars they don’t care about and get cheated on in every relationship because women are cretinous rats. Women can literally become millionaires for picking slutty vile selfies on Instagram for fucks sake. Anyone who picks men have it harder are genuinely retarded.
I don't think women have it easier in life than men. Woman have gained a lot more rights over the past 100 years or so that have made things easier for them in society compared to how it used to be but no I don't think women have it easier.
Everyone has their problems.
I think in western society it may seem like women have it easier in life because well feminism.
But I don't think it's that easy. You need more than being a women to make your life easy/easier.
have it easier in their career? in their social standing amongst their peers? in pursuing their interests? in being their authentic self regardless of the stereotypes associated with their gender? (this list could go on & on)
as someone else said, it depends. each gender has their own challenges.
I think both genders have their own challenges in life and its so individualistic it's hard to rule a norm. Men do harder labor, but women have more things to worry about in their bodies like periods, emotional shifts, etc and these days are also expected to do labor while at the same time taking care of their children.
No. Attractive women have it better than most men. But also, attractive men have it better than most women. The answer is simple: if you are attractive, you have it easy. Not-hot people have it all equally difficult. I have never had any single benefit from being a woman in my life
So you trying to say that you aren't that attractive looking woman? 😬😋 Jokes apart, I don't think that " not so attractive" women have I difficult than more attractive women anyway.
Yep we do. Men have a lot more expectations on them and a lot less is said about it. Men deserve a lot more praise than they currently get for all they do and put up with.
Yes. Especially if she's good looking. Basically women have all the rights that men do now but with the added benefits of being a woman. A general public attitude that's keen on helping/protecting women.
I think generally women might have it a little bit easier in terms of the comforts of life afforded to them.. But I think men have it easier in terms of social ridicule on some things.. And I feel like people don't judge men as much as they may judge women in some aspects..
I don't think women have it easier. Biologically, women automatically have to deal with burdens that men do not. In addition to that, women also have to deal with judgement, disrespect and everyday issues that all people face. Men do have unique challenges and are expected to be strong and confident, but I'm not convinced that it's easier for women. From what I hear, men do seem to have it rough after a divorce though.
We also die far far more often. We get conscripted into wars (few countries conscript women), we die far more on the battlefield, we die far more at the workplace, we are both attacked and killed on the street more often than women, we die more often to heart disease, and commit suicide far more often.
Men have biological struggles too, such as dealing with and controlling high amounts of testosterone which can cause mood swings and especially a tendency towards anger and violence. People tend to sympathize with us less because of our gender, so we often get looked down upon if we are depressed or overly emotional, and we less often get support when we are hurt or abused (physically, sexually, etc.) by friends, family, teachers, etc. Men are still expected to be providers and to fulfill their traditional gender role. Men are viewed as an easy target by the media and often ridiculed (even by companies that make almost exclusively mens products... yes, I'm talking about gillette), where as women get inspiring messages such as the recent ad from Adidas. Men are often not allowed in domestic abuse shelters and are barred from the support women have access too, even though reputable studies have shown domestic abuse rates are almost even. Good fathers have less chance of winning legal custody of their children, and are often restricted to 2 days a week or barred from seeing their child, as a result of their gender. Men are smeared as rapists due to their gender (teach men not to rape).
I'm not trying to be rude to you, I just want to spark debate as I respectfully disagree with you. If you're not interested just let me know, or ignore this, either works.
@devilman666 Men do get conscripted into wars far more often than women do, but I have a feeling that in America, women will also be getting conscripted soon. There's no way that the gender gap in conscription can be ignored. As for what you said about men being at more physical risk in the workplace, men do get hurt and even die more in the workplace, but men and women can choose safer careers. As for more men dying on the street, I don't want to be insensitive because I don't know what goes on in other areas, but where I live, usually only people who are involved in crime are likely to get physically attacked on the street. It doesn't usually happen to innocent bystanders unless they are in really bad areas, which are probably even more dangerous for women to walk through. As for men dying more of heart disease, it could be a stress issue or because men go to the doctor less often, or both. I can't deny that the suicide rate for men is really high all over the world. I have heard other people suggest that this is because of the stress and isolation that men face. The issue definitely needs to be dealt with though. I actually had never thought about men's biological struggles before. I guess we both have mood swings, lol. One thing I would say though is that even the things that men struggle with biologically (ex: aggression) helps to make men more successful, while women's biological struggles are just kind of a burden. Men do get less support in general and are expected to be tough and self-sufficient, which is kind of rough if a man is disadvantaged or disabled. There does need to be more support for men who need it. The points you make about divorce court and men being branded as menaces are real issues. Also, sometimes men do get ridiculed in tv or in ads and that actually annoys me to because these ads are so unrealistic. (to be cont'd)
@devilman666 Sorry about my longwinded response, lol. Men do also carry the weight of being expected to provide, but it's less than before since now women are expected to bring home the eggs to complement the bacon the man brings, lol. But on the flip side, women are now expected to do both domestic work and earn a living, while men are not expected usually to meet her half-way, at least not from what I've seen. I'm not married, but it looks exhausting, for women in particular. Other issues that women face are being judged a lot more harshly for illicit sex and being disrespected and almost having to expect to be cheated on. I know both men and women cheat, but when women are stepped out on, it's not considered as big of a deal. Also, it's harder for women to command respect. Women can have the same credentials, but be treated like less than. I think part of it is that men have a more commanding presence. One other issue is that women have a biological clock and men do not. This puts women at a disadvantage in the dating world. We also often get judged worse for aging.
I don't know that either gender has it worse overall. I think it depends on your individual gifts. Attractive men and women probably do well. It's harder when people have less desired traits. But you did bring up issues that I hadn't though of before. It seems like a lot of men's problems are social and women's problems are hard wired.. Sorry again for making this so long. I don't blame you if you don't read it all, lol
Why do people think other people have it easier just because there situations are different from there's girls go threw the same problems as guys do they just look different guys are suppose to be strong and hard or cold should I say while girls are supposed to be perfect and stuff but its impossible to be those things cause of emotions and the fact that everyone is different so in the end everyone has problems so in the end neither side has it better then the other side even if it looks like it
My opinion is for what it's worth no women don't have the better of it they have to hold on to the shity end of the stick f2b domestics nannies babysitters and probably provide an income for the family they work much harder than men on a daily basis and I think all men should realise that and that would help in a relationship I'm sure they're underappreciated and they do a lot there the heart of a family should be treated as such
No. To have a good life after some age you'll need job to feed yourself at least. It's already sociologically proved that men get job faster and easier, and men are paid more than a woman. So if a man live alone, he will find better job faster, will paid, and will have a better life in general, while one woman is rarely trusted with jobs with more responsibilities and her salary is less than men's one even for the same job... Which I think is very bad...
Men also die far far more often on the workplace (I think its over 80% male, can't remember the exact). Women are now going through post secondary education more often than men, they just opt into lower paying careers.
I mean this is a hard one I've never been a woman so I cannot say. I can say what I think though. I think men have it tougher in some spots and women in others. For example for a quiet guy having to pursue for a date is hard so that's rough. Women get the benefit of waiting but also lose some on getting to choose I guess. Maybe that's a bad example I'll try to think up a new one.
People need to face the fact that women and men aren’t the same. They can’t always be compared so simply. Men and women each suffer different things that the opposite sex literally will never experience. It’s not that easy. So my answer is neither.
We have it a lot harder. There is gender inequality we have to deal with and period cramps and child labor. We have a lot more responsibilities than men to cook clean and raise children. The discrepancy is huge. And no I'm not a feminist 🙄
I mean it really depends on what area in life we are talking about. If we are talking about pregnancy then hell yes we have it tough, if it's something to do with pay in jobs I'm kinda meh about it.
Women give all the births... men die at war or in the workplace. We also build all your buildings, cars you ride in, and most of the food you buy at the grocery store. Women have physical hardships- yes but you also control and cen get sex whenever you want. There are trade offs. If someone thinks one gender has it better or worse than the other, you’re pretty sexist...
@Inneedofusername It's a lot easier to be an ugly girl than it is to be an average guy.
80% of women manage to reproduce in their lifetime, only 40% of men do. That right there suggests that being a man is AT LEAST twice as hard as being a woman, just base levels.
Yeah, of course it's hard to be an ugly girl, life is tough all over, it's just that as hard as it is for them, it's a lot harder for other people who have even less advantages. Like almost all men, for starters.
You think being an ugly girl is tough, that just means you wouldn't survive 24 hours as an ugly dude.
Lol you think I get any free stuff, or I'm treated better because of being a woman, or I'm being approached or whatever? Nobody cares about women who aren't drop dead attractive
Most of the time I have it easy. But if I were SUPER HOT. I would have easy mode all day long lol. Basically, the hotter you are the better life you have.

Why do feminists always talk about careers? In a few hundred years careers can be as useless as the institution of knighthood is today.

Yeah in the legal system women basically have almost all of the power over men

Hello it's 2019, this wage gap has been debunked a while ago.
Nope it's not
Yes there is a wage gap when women don't have the same qualifications and experience as a man they are being compared to.
It's not only at this case
Men also die far far more often on the workplace (I think its over 80% male, can't remember the exact). Women are now going through post secondary education more often than men, they just opt into lower paying careers.

The benefits of being male in the workforce come with a 10x higher chance of workplace death.
