If all other circumstances are equal, then would you say it's better to be a male than a female?

[Anonymous]

Yes I would

No I wouldn't

A man. I say this because women tend to be more emotional. So they tend to let things get to them emotionally. Yes some men do to. I have to add that because there’s always some female who’s going to say that’s not true I know a man who… I’m not saying as men we have it easier, I think most of us are just taught to shut up, stop crying. Be a man, do what you need to do because no one is coming to save you. Women on the other hand, one negative comment at work or wherever hurts a lot of their feelings for the longest time. They feel as though they’ve worked harder. Which some do. But working in the medical field, as one of two men who work w maybe 99% women, it’s either myself or the other male nurse who is always getting called to handle rowdy patients. To sit w the aggressive ones. To come help someone stand up or if they’ve fallen to help get them up because most of the women can’t. So I have a lot put on me that’s physically demanding. So even though I think there’s more of a burden put on men, I’ve just been conditioned to keep doing what I need to do. Women on the other hand get all up in their emotions, which like I said one “rude” or “bad” comment can ruin her day or week. Now that one rude comment leads to her believing it was a bad day. I’ve worked w women in the prison, in the military, the medical field as well as security. A lot of them are the same regardless of what field it’s in.

how can women be the emotional ones when men beat walls and their gfs when their favourite team loses a football match?

[Opinion Owner]

@chocolatetwopointo go back to sleep

[chocolatetwopointo]

what? u think im wrong?

[EmmaMary]

On what do you base this assumption of yours?

[EmmaMary]

And "What Other Circumstances" are you talking about?

[Asker]

Women still have to deal things that are impossible for men to experience

[Asker]

By other circumstances I mean same geography income levels social class health happiness etc

[EmmaMary]

Would I be right in thinking that you're referring to Periods and Pregnancy etc?

[EmmaMary]

Of those that you've mentioned, fortunately I have not experienced this to any great degree.

[Asker]

I wasn't even thinking of pregnancy. Not to downplay it but it's only something most women do once or twice. I was thinking periods hormonal cycles and being physically adept (speed, strength, etc)

[EmmaMary]

What you have mentioned obviously affects women different ways, some not even being affected at all... Those that do normally have some form of medication available to them... As for speed or strength, well that's just very much a case of "force majeure".

[Asker]

Would you say most women are at peace with this reality?

[EmmaMary]

Obviously I cannot possibly speak on behalf of any other women... However, I'm very much at peace with the reality that I've been in all my life.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

[serious]

Yes it is better to be a male.

[TracyWants]

Men have it easier for sure lol

[Asker]

How so?

[TracyWants]

Not everything but like getting a job, not needing to always be afraid of walking alone, getting paid more. That stuff lol

[Asker]

What about the biological stuff?

[TracyWants]

What do you mean?

[Asker]

Menstrual cycles, hormonal changes, pregnancy etc

[TracyWants]

Yeah lol they have it easier too

[Asker]

Would you have rather been male?

[Anonymous]

Men have it better in my opinion.

[Asker]

So a rich healthy man has it better than a rich healthy woman?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes the man still has it better

[Asker]

Why do you think so?

[Opinion Owner]

No periods , they don’t have to shave (except their face if they want too) , they can never experience pregnancy they are less likely to have breast cancer , they are less likely to have certain medical issues. Yes men are more likely to have issues with losing hair and heart issues and prostate cancer , but women get the short end of the stick when it comes to medical issues and societal standards.

[Asker]

Would you have rather been male?

[Opinion Owner]

I would have been a gay man, so no.

[Asker]

Is that the only reason?

[Opinion Owner]

Yep and I do like having boobs 🤣😂 that’s somewhat of a plus

[Asker]

That seems like part of the disadvantages ngl

[Opinion Owner]

I mean breast cancer and bras yeah but boobs themselves are kinda cool i guess 🤣

[Asker]

Why would they be?

[Opinion Owner]

You’re a man. Just saying wouldn’t you know why boobs are cool?

[Asker]

Well yes but actually having them doesn't seem fun

[Opinion Owner]

It’s a trade off , i guess they’re a blessing and a curse.

[Asker]

Do you actually like having them or like that they're considered attractive or desirable?

[Opinion Owner]

I like having them and being considered attractive is also a plus

[Asker]

What do you like about it?

[Opinion Owner]

I like the size of mine tbh.

[Asker]

Is it because it makes you feel more feminine?

[Opinion Owner]

That and men like it 😆

[Asker]

So despite your problems with womanhood you still want to feel womanly?

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah , im not a lesbian or trans.

[Asker]

In that case how do you feel about stuff like pregnancy? Does it bother you?

[Opinion Owner]

I can’t get pregnant , so it doesn’t affect me

[Asker]

If you were able to would you want to?

[Opinion Owner]

Probably not

[Asker]

What about societal advantages to being female? Do you think there are any?

[Opinion Owner]

If you’re a woman who’s pretty and or rich yes.

[Opinion Owner]

There’s advantages to that
