Don’t you think men have life way harder than women?

Question

I mean it’s men that are the ones that end it, including myself at one pint. But I won’t discuss it as it goes against gag policy

We don’t have to think it... Statistics prove it in almost every category.

Men are 97% of combat fatalities.
Men pay 97% of Alimony
Men make 94% of work suicides.
Men make up 93% of work fatalities.
Men make up 81% of all war deaths.
Men lose custody in 84% of divorces.
Men are 80% of all suicides.
Men are 77% of homicide victims.
Men make up 95% of homeless.
89% of men will be the victim of at least one violent crime.
Men are over twice as victimised by strangers as women.
Court bias against men is at least 6 times bigger than racial bias.
Men get 63% longer sentences than women for the same crime.
Men are 165% more likely to be convicted than women for the SAME crime.
Which is why 93% of prisoners in US prisons are men.
Men in prison are the majority of Americas rape victims.
Male rape victims of women are not counted in stats and are ignored, shamed, or excused.

1 in 8 men in jail are there because they can't pay child support.
30% of child support claims against men are fraudulent.
Males are discriminated against in school and University.

Women’s Cancers receive 15 times more funding than men’s, despite the fact that a man’s chance of getting cancer is 44% and 23% of men will die from cancer, 38% of women get cancer and 19% die.

Men are only 40-44% of university students.

71% years of non-reciprocated domestic violence is against men by women, however less than 1% of domestic violence shelter spaces are for men.

Male fatality rates are vastly higher than women’s.

Despite all the pressures and risks facing men today support services for men are almost non existent compared to services for women. There are departments for women’s issues in the White House and the UN, but none for men. The UN promotes genital mutilation of male children but condemns female genital mutilation.

Men pay the vast majority of income tax but the vast majority of public spending is on services for women.

There is even vastly more money spent on breast cancer per year than heart diseases. Despite the fact that heart disease kills over 9 times the number of people as breast cancer.

Women pay only 35% of tax despite spending 300% more in domestic spending than men. Women also consume two third of public spending, there are 3 times the amount of gender specific health services for women than men despite the fact that for equal increases in health spending a man’s life expectancy rate increases nearly twice as much as a woman’s. Women are nearly 50% more likely to get a public sector job paid for with mainly men’s taxes despite the fact men have a higher unemployment rate.

Men earn 61.5% of all income but only account for 25% of domestic spending. Men only spend 40% of what they earn after tax. In contrast women make up 38.5% of all income but control around 75% of domestic spending , women on average spend 90% MORE MONEY THAN THEY EARN. Men are exploited as cash machines and even with spending on children accounted for women still spend more money on themselves than the combined spending for men and children. This can even be observed in the space allocated to women’s products in most shopping centres.

One third of countries worldwide have compulsory military service for men, only 6 countries have it for women, who usually serve much shorter terms and have more exceptions. (EG: Israel, 3 years for men, 2 years for women). In many other countries such as America men are legally required to sign up for selective service in order to be able to vote, women are exempt.

Yes men have it harder and one feminist who spent 18 months as a man to be able to show that the 'patriarchy' exists says we do.

I don't know but I'm a 30 year old woman who doesn't want to give birth but wants to get married and that's super hard... For me guys want certain things and I feel physically and emotionally men have it sooo much easier in that area, especially that they don't have to give birth or go through menopause or anything like that..

I personally think women have it harder, as they're being sexualized and objectified about their looks from an early age.
That's not to say guys don't face struggles or don't have problems of their own of course

Cherry234 · Answer

I don't think so because I think men and women both equally have it hard. Life isn't easy for anyone.

Bambalicious · Answer

Statistics will say men, it would be stupid to deny that, but I'm not going to cry about it or hate women for it because honestly... the victim mentality sucks.

SignedAutographs · Answer

No, of course not Women have it harder, and we only make it harder on them by outlawing things like abortion

Physically women have it harder. Men for economically, and socially. Society puts women first. Men can get easily convicted. Women get a lot of love attention. Plus earning money takes years while most women look good.
