Do men have a greater responsibility for the well-being of women than the other way around because of the unique challenges women face?

[Anonymous]

Women typically have much harder lives than men so it should be up to men to alleviate as much of that burden as possible

Yes

No

[OneViewpoint]

I think we all owe it to society to cooperate with each other and keep each other safe. It's also sound self interest. Me first is the strategy of the terminally stupid. As the saying goes, it takes a village. Do the right thing. Contribute where you can. Accept help when it is offered. Stop and say "thank you" once in a while. Essentially, don't be an asshole!

Women only lived life on hard mode back in the day when feminism wasn't a thing for society, although in modern times some places like Afghanistan are obviously still shit holes when it comes to women's propserity

[bunnyboo24]

Yes and no.

Yes men are more responcible cause men are stronger, protectors and the natrual leader.

However I dont agree life is harder for women. I'd say the opposite esspecially in the Western world.

[Asker]

How do you think women don't have it harder?

[bunnyboo24]

Much easier to get jobs as women cause companies are forced to keep equal amount for each sex, less standards for women in physical jobs to welcome them, far less sentencing for women in law

[bingbongbangbung]

Don't forget that women tend to choose part time over full time, and also aren't as good and/or hesitant to negotiate for higher pay compared to men

[bunnyboo24]

@bingbongbangbung thats true

[XXTruthfulOgrexx]

Better question, Explain your view of "harder". What exactly makes it harder.

[bunnyboo24]

@XXTruthfulOgrexx i mean overall. As a woman in the west, I can more easily get jobs, get reduced sentencing for same crime, get stuff for free etc. The only thing I would say men have advantage for is physically. I'm a much higher risk since I can't defend myself (talking about one sided not 2 sided those are more commen with men.. aka fighting).

[RandomGirl42]

I really like the way Nikki worded it. I mean what would "men having a greater responsibility for the well-being of women" even look like? We don't NEED to be taken care of. We need to be worked with as equals.

[bingbongbangbung]

Except that men and women aren't and never will be equal due to inherent advantages that each sex has

[bingbongbangbung]

And even when women are given gender equality, most women still choose to pick opportunities that bottleneck their prosperity in life

[RandomGirl42]

Ty for the MHO 😊

[virgo2267]

No because in an ideal world it would be free for all… but in this day in age, there has to be 50:50 on both ends. One could be financially, and the other could be emotionally. They are meant to be a couple and the burden is the vow they took to honor each other till death

[FreakInTheBedroom]

Thats a load of shit right there, whoever thinks women have it harder then men all I can say is WOW, you know what id love to hear from anybody actually that believes this why do you think this because I can assure you that women have it easy as fuck compared to men and ill debate that with anybody... GO

[Aiko_E_Lara]

It's not for women but for the world. Other than biologically being stronger, we don't have the ability to nurse and give birth which is why women are naturally protected. A ratio of more women than men repopulates the world better than vice versa. That's why men are bound to be dispensable and also explains the sympathy gap. It's more about for humanity than for women's well being.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

With that being said, women never had it so hard. Both just have different challenges.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I mean women never had it harder

[Apulu_backagain]

Interesting and really makes sense too. However in future when men won't likely have to fight anything wild to protect someone and women have the choice of using an artificial uterus for fetus can we say that there won't be anything like gender roles and both will have to do 50-50?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

@Apulu_backagain That actually comes with a consequence for men. Like what's happening today, war is not so frequent anymore, men's testosterone is dropping leading to health issues and life expectancy decrease unless they work out. Men are just designed to keep burdening themselves to function properly unless technology fixes that.

[Apulu_backagain]

I see, makes sense again. Thanks for the answer!

[Aiko_E_Lara]

The goal is not for men to “take care of” women, but for men to proactively ensure that the social and professional systems are fair and safe so that both men and women can enjoy mutual well-being.

[OlderAndWiser]

I don't disagree with you but some of the hostile feminists might want to throw dog shit on your shoes. I'm just sayin' . . .

[heruncommonsense]

Yes. A woman can't physically injure a male.

[Anonymous]

no problem

with great power comes great responsibility and vice-versa

therefore men will have greater authority over women

[CaptainSalt]

As men, giving ourselves responsibility for the wellbeing of women denies them their agency and fosters dependence. What we can, and should control is our reaction to their self-advocacy.

[dray995]

No. Life is only as hard as you make it, no matter what your circumstances are.

[blackeagle007]

Everyone has responsibility. Personal accountability all should have

[bunniesrcute]

no i think everyone should take care of themselves

[Anonymous]

I think men and women are equal.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Yes.
