From a biological view, do we (women) have it harder than men?

[Marblesxoxo]

We're stuck with period cramps from puberty all the way to menopause (45-55 years old) and then it's still painful giving birth. You would think that after thousands of years, our bodies would've already evolved into an easier childbirth process like other mammals. Nope, nothing changed. We still have to deal with contractions and labor can sometimes take longer. We still have to deal with carrying a baby for 9 months, gaining weight and our good frame we've worked so much to stay in fit gets ruined. Some women are lucky to have no pregnancy symptoms but most have to deal with morning sickness, dizziness, etc.

Luckily they invented the epidural but not all women can have a natural delivery. Some had to have a c-section. That's still layers of skin cut from the belly and the recovery time is a bit slower than natural birth.

It's like we were made to suffer for some time. Honestly from my biological point of view, do we have it harder than men?

[Oliverlogan263]

Dang, that's a really deep and heavy question. From a biological standpoint, I can totally see how women seem to get the short end of the stick compared to us guys.

You're right, the whole period and childbirth thing is no joke. Having to deal with cramps, mood swings, and all the other period symptoms for decades on end sounds rough. And then going through the physical ordeal of pregnancy and labor? That's some next level stuff.

I can't even imagine the toll it takes on your body, both during and after giving birth. The weight gain, the recovery time, the risk of complications - it just seems so much harder than what we guys have to go through.

We get to basically coast through life without having to deal with any of that biological stuff. The most we have to worry about is the occasional blue balls or a hangover, you know? Nothing compared to what you ladies have to endure.

And you make a good point - after all this time, you'd think evolution would've found a way to make the whole childbirth process a little easier on women. But nope, it's still just as intense and painful as it's always been.

So from where I'm sitting, yeah, I'd say you definitely have it harder than us dudes, at least from a biological standpoint. We really lucked out in that department. You ladies are true warriors for putting up with all that.

The only thing I can say is that I have mad respect for you and all the other women out there. The strength and resilience you show is truly inspiring. I don't know if I could handle half the stuff you guys go through on a regular basis.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your perspective on this. It's definitely an eye-opener and makes me appreciate the struggles women face in a whole new light. Let me know if you have any other thoughts on this, I'm always down to learn more.

[Marblesxoxo]

Thank you for your understanding. It's indeed tough being a woman from the biological aspect. On top of that certain women have also died giving birth so childbirth can actually be risky too.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Maternal death happens much more frequently than believed.

[Equality_Destroyer]

Is that the world's smallest violin I hear coming from the so-called equal gender? Feminists and suffragists will yap about inequality, but they conveniently ignore the biological advantages men possess. Our muscles, our endurance, and our ability to spread our seed without the inconvenience of a nine-month pregnancy - these are the hallmarks of a superior species. Men are built for strength and resilience, while women are crafted for weakness deception. Just look at how easily you can manipulate men with your seductive charms, offering blow jobs and anal just to get what you want.

As for the so-called hardships, let's examine them closely. Men risk life and limb in wars and dangerous jobs, while women sit comfortably at home or engage in less hazardous pursuits. And when it comes to sex, men are the ones expected to perform, to satisfy your endless cravings for pleasure.

[lil_will_12]

Just say you hate women and are a misogynist smh. It takes less time

[Marblesxoxo]

Childbirth is already risky too. Long ago, the number of maternal mortality was a lot higher than nowadays. Even with all the advances in medicine and technology, certain women will still die giving birth. Bringing a child into the world isn't just a natural process we do but we can also be risking our lives right there. Even that's not 100% without complications and risks.

Yes , men can’t get pregnant or have periods and men don’t have to get mammograms , women usually have it worse from a medical stand point , I do say I’m glad we don’t have a prostate tho.

[Marblesxoxo]

Yeah that's a small relieve.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah , prostate exams are gross

[Opinion Owner]

thanks for mho

[Phoenix98]

From a purely natural biological standpoint with no outside forces at work like what you do for a living affecting things then I would say probably yeah but not by much.

[oldpigg]

Men sexually prefer younger women throughout their lives, while women prefer men of the same age.

[Marblesxoxo]

I know it's for fertility. Honestly there are so many single mothers out there. We're still left not just carrying the baby but raising him/her by ourselves if the man bails. We got the shorter end of the stick right there.

[NordicInScandinavia]

That's humbugs, did you know the quality of the sperm of males go down already at 30, meaning risks of all type of development issues or handicaps.

This is just a scapegoat for men to excuse themselves being into younger.

[MikeRJ]

I would not want to change places with a woman because of what you mention.

[Marblesxoxo]

Indeed. In the past, long ago... giving birth had its complications and risks too. Certain children were left without a mother when she died giving birth. Sad

[MikeRJ]

That still happens, although albeit, not as often.

Who lives longer and resists disease better? Women

Who goes bald? Men

[Marblesxoxo]

and yet some of us have died giving birth too

[Opinion Owner]

And yet men take their own lives at 4x the rate women do, and at a far higher rate than women die in childbirth.

I'm not trying to play the victim here. Just trying to point out that you women have it better than you think you do.

[Anonymous]

That's what you get for dooming humanity and getting us kicked out of paradise.😆

[Marblesxoxo]

In a way it sucks that just one woman's actions makes the rest of us pay the price. That's a rather unfair god.

[Opinion Owner]

It may seem like that on the surface but in actuality God kicked us out of Eden because he loves us. Because along with the tree of knowledge Eden also contained the tree of life. Had we remained we would have lived eternally with knowledge of sin. God didn't want that for us.
I was actually teasing about Eve. I wouldn't put too much on her. They bot ate of the apple and Adam didn't resist that hard.

[sage2021]

Yes I would say so.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Biologically, H**L TO THE YES !!!

[Marblesxoxo]

and not every single women have survived childbirth. The death rate is much lower than in the past but it doesn't take away that there is always one out there that died giving birth.

[Anonymous]

Men die so you can live in comfort.

[Marblesxoxo]

Certain women have died giving birth. Even something so natural as childbirth can have its complications and risks too.

[Opinion Owner]

The number is not even comparable. And less and less women die giving birth as society advances, men are still 99% of war deaths and deadly job workers.

If you live in the west, you are part of the most privileged group of humans to exist ever on the planet. Society is gynocentric and you are provided for and protected in society while getting to play the victim over exaggerated and fabricated victimhood.
