I’d day it’s harder to be a man these days...

1. Women serve less jail time for the same crimes.2. Women pay less for car insurance.3. Women win law suit cases far more than men for the same suits.4. Women are given a choice in abortion men are not.5. Men have no reproductive rights.6. Women will more likely win custody of children, or for that matter, basically any court decision.7. Female prisons are vastly better quality and safer.9. Women can't be forcefully drafted into military service.10. Women can't be forcefully sent into combat zones.11. Men have to pass higher physical standards than women to enter any physically demanding job including the military, police, firemen, etc.12. The vast majority of workplace deaths are men.13. The vast majority of suicides are men by 4 times the amount than women.14. Women report a high degree of happiness on average than men.15. Men work more hours on average than women.16. Women make up the majority of the workforce.17. More women than men are college attendants.18. Most college facilities funded by tuition benefit women more than men.19. Even when accounting for the enrollment difference, colleges have to keep at the very least a 60/40 ratio on genders so many men are accepted late as to compensate for having too many women.20. Despite there being more women in college there are vastly more female only scholarships that provide vastly more money.40. Men pay more towards social security yet receive less of it than women.41. Women are the majority of voters yet feminists still complain about the ratio of male politicians to female ones.42. Fathers day is celebrated less and has less money spent on it than Mothers day.43. Despite breast cancer and prostate cancer roughly killing the same number of people per year, breast cancer research receives around 90% more funding at an almost 2 to 1 ratio.44. Men die more often from stress related illnesses.45. Men can be forced to pay women money that they may or may not be used on a child that may or may not be theirs.46. Women initiate the majority of divorces and receive the majority of their ex's money.47. Often even after signing a pre-nup, a man must still pay this ex half his finances.48. Roughly 10-30% of “fathers” are raising children who they are not aware aren't their own.49. Men are the majority of rape victims (when using prison statistics), but men can't be LEGALLY raped by a woman without them using a penetration device.50. Men are not given the right of consent. But what do I know? I’m just a young man

Both. The challenges we face are different, and you can easily pick out areas where men or women have an advantage over the other, but in the end, they're both difficult. If you could become a man tomorrow, you'd be trading one set of problems for another, and while you might welcome the advantages, it wouldn't take very long before the disadvantages would really start to get to you, especially since you aren't used to dealing with them. The same would be true for men who became women - we'd have some new advantages as well as some new liabilities, and most people would prefer the problems they know and have gotten used to dealing with, rather than problems they haven't spent a lifetime learning how to manage.

Both have their challenges but I think it’s harder to be a woman. Women live in a society (all around the world, not just America) that is built to catering around men. Basically, it’s a man’s society. There’s a lot of pressure put on women to appeal to men. I think it’s just a lot more difficult and unsafe to be a woman. Of course, men have their challenges, but most of their challenges are problems that other men have created for them. Any societal pressure to be manly or live up to what a man is supposed to be was created by men, if that makes sense.

There was a woman recently who was making 34 thousand dollars a month (or week can't remember) selling her farts online... while I am fairly neutral on the "difficulties " of one sex or the other. being as I do have a vag leaning bias on difficulty. in all honesty in this day and age of the internet if you are even a moderately attractive woman you can earn your self a comfortable life if you are above average you can become a millionaire selling farts. I mean you would be hard pressed to find a man that could make a living for such a job?

string43 · Answer

I have to think that if was born a woman I would have struggled more than I have now albeit with different problems. As a man my struggles have been largely internally internally generated and based on a desire to be something of value for other people. But I’ve certainly not had my boundaries intruded upon to the same degree that a woman would on the average. Having that level of focus or the feeling that people would seek to take advantage of you for what you have inherently seems the harder path. Especially since I deeply appreciate what women are imbued with.

normalice · Answer

Apples to oranges. Though when it comes to the struggles in life I would say women get a higher floor but a lower ceiling. The amount of failure men can get involved in is pretty limitless, but so too is the success.

Of course when i say "floor" and "ceiling" i dont mean cutoffs - more like the 5 percentiles of a bell curve. It is largely assumed that no matter how much a woman screws up as long as she is reasonably attractive someone will want to take care of her. And while that's a pretty glaring caveat that people tend to handwave away, it's also true that the current culture of hyperselfishness pushed by right wing infotainment has significantly reduced the overall capacity for sympathy people have. So that assumption that women will always have a fall back - a floor - is no longer true. Sadly, the ceiling hasn't raised at the same rate.

One_Guy_ · Answer

Both sexes have their difficulties. The world of the men is more violent and demanding but the women are the ones who are mostly the victims of violence.
Our federal government is currently in the middle of the war on white people especially men, but the women are those brainwashed the most as our woke rulers are desperately are trying to merry white women with black men.
The lives of men and women like two candles burning at different rate, the men faster, brighter, - the women dimmer but longer.

TonyV · Answer

Neither is easy, both men and women have it hard in different ways. Women can't stop guys hitting on them and sliding in dms, guys have a hard time not being ignore and actually given a chance.
There are other different hardships for each but I'm keeping it short.
In my opinion men have it harder but I know it's always easy for women either.

skyeee_ · Answer

no gender has it easy tbh. men being stereotyped that they shouldn't be emotional and are tough, and women seen as too emotional or are belonged to kitchens. there's no "gender" to problems. if women have their own set of problems, then so do guys. thats what makes us human.

Anonymous · Answer

Actually depends on the country you live in, in the middle east it's harder to be a woman while in western countries it's harder to be a man. Did you know in western countries, events that are in support of women's issues are celebrated while event's in support of men's issues are protested?

MCheetah · Answer

It's much, much, MUCH harder to be a man, and it always has been. But overall, it's hard being anyone who's not rich or from a wealthy background.

HighValue · Answer

It is much harder to be a man in the USA, but in some countries, mostly located in the Middle East and Africa, it is harder to be a woman. So it greatly depends where you live.

MannMitAntworten · Answer

If either sex complains of having it worse, they are failures on an individual level and not because it is difficult being whichever sex they are.

Anabelleluvsu · Answer

It’s hard to be a man, just as it’s hard to be a woman. However, I believe it’s harder to be a woman, because we have to have periods, give birth, get catcalled, etc.
