Which gender has life overall easier or harder? Men or Women? Is harder to be a Woman or a Man? which one?

Question

I know that life is overall, very hard and tough for everyone, but what makes it more difficult to be Male? and what makes it more difficult to be a Female? But I think both Men and Women have it hard, or easy, just in different ways, like what seems say for Women, is hard for Men, but what is hard for Women, is easy for Men. Anyway, do you think it is more difficult to be a Man or a Woman? and for what reasons?

I'll tell you why women have it more difficult than men. Women have to shave like half their bodies (which is very time consuming) they don't 'have to' but would men like that? I highly doubt it. Have to go through their time of the month. Have to worry about things like yeast infections. Need to prevent unintended pregnancy with Birth Control pills and condoms to make sure you'll have some kind of protection. Some women can and have become pregnant even while using these. Then if they want a child, and conceive one, they have to deal with 9 months of mood swings, cravings, taking prenatal vitamins, and being careful what they put into their bodies since it can harm the baby. Then having to deal with the labor and all the pain that comes with it. For some women it can last for days. Have to worry about looking your best which means for most waxing eyebrows, upper lip, etc. Wearing makeup. Feeling like they're not good looking or skinny enough for guys because most (not all) are so shallow to not want someone who is larger than those models on TV commercials and advertisements.

i believe being a female is harder than being a male. we basically can't do heavy manual labour in general at our jobs, but a few do or can, we have our monthly whcih makes life a hassle for us girls, and then if we get pregnant, it's nine monthes of pain and being careful and not being bale to do as much as what we did before. it's not fun at all and also we always have to or not always but are in a way always subjected to pressures by the media or guys to look good or 'pretty' or whatever. idk, I believe being a girl is so much harder than a guy. when a girl gets pregnant, nothing really happens to the guy.

you can argue for either I guess. those are just a few points, general and not refering to everyone but yeah, having a period nearly every month sucks

I think if your male , your going to think you have it have it hard , if your female you will think you have it harder. Both genders have it hard , with women its the whole child birth thing , periods,menopause and I also think its harder for a girl to feel accepted as far as the way she looks is concerned , girls are always seeing images of skinny girls and feel they need to look that way to fit in and be liked by guys, also when it comes to work I think woman have it harder I told my career teacher I wanted to do electrics and he just laughed and said leave it to the men..( Infact many guys laughed and said it was not going to be able to do that)

obviously guys face there tough time's but I'd say women have it a tiny bit harder than the guys.

I believe women have it harder physically. Life is much more painful for obvious reasons being periods, and pregnancy/childbirth. Also something a lot of people dont consider is how much womens health is lacking, and how womens health isn't taken seriously and pain is often dismissed by doctors. It makes quality of life miserable for some women (myself included with having endometriosis that took so long to get diagnosed and once diagnosed did literally nothing to help) My endometriosis makes my periods the worst pain I've ever felt in my life and I've broken bones, and got hit by a car and my cramps are worse than any injury I've ever recieved. It makes keeping a job impossible because I can't work the first day of my period my pain is so bad I have seizures and obviously no job wants to keep someone who calls out once a month. Also women are weaker, have to live with much more fear than men do. But one thing I would like to add is i acknowledge men have their own struggles. They are looked at to provide for the family no exceptions (yes most women do too but people dont look at women who are struggling to provide the way they look at a man struggling). Men (especially introverted men) struggle with having to be the initiators in situations, also if a confrontation happens theyre expected to defend and provide safety for their family in scary situations. And I know there's many other things I didn't list for men, I only included a few to acknowledge that yes men struggle too in different areas and I appreciate and respect their struggles and efforts. But my answer is still women have it harder, especially physically, involves a lot more pain that I could only imagine what life would be like to not have to live with on a daily basis.

You are saying girls have it easier just because guys have to make the first move blah blah blah-that is hardly serious stuff is it? Women have it much harder-we are the ones who have to go through pregnancy, we are th ones who have to go through menstruation, we are the ones who have to go through the menopause. Women face a lot more discrimination then men, especially in the workplace-even now. Also, we are more at risk of rape etc from men because we are the weaker sex (in general).

I can see the points on both sides. But I lean towards the female, because I am one. =]

We have to go through the pain of having a baby, and that is a big reason for my opinion. (if one chooses to have a baby)

But then again, the males have to deal with the females mood swings and whatnot, and I have to give credit for my guy friends dealing with me. hehe.

If you had a choice for "They both have it equaly hard", I'd choose that.

Women for sure. Society is much harsher to us, Mother Nature too. We got dealt a shitty hand that came with our design. No way in hell a man could handle half of what women will deal with in their lifetime.

Periods. Birth. Menopause. Discrimination. Body-shaming. Perverts and sex-crazed men. Raising children.

Especially menopause. If a man had two hot flashes, he would blow up the sun.

If men think you have it hard, try being a woman for a day. Both genders have struggles. For women its being pregnant for 9 months, periods and menopause. Also most girls feel pressured to look a certain way due to media and boys, there is always a time in you're life where you wish you can be that very beautiful, skinny model on the cover so you can fit in and be liked. Not to mention we are more likely to be raped and girls are way more sensitive/emotional. Now I'm sure guys have their share of troubles too. But in my opinion, I think being a woman is harder.

In my mind, it is harder to be a female because well, guys are jerks. And girls have to deal with break ups when it is just so easy for the ex to get a new girl. And also girls are was mor sensitive. I mean come on. And on the other hand, men don't have to get through 5-6 days of pain dealing with bloody vaginas. 👍 And just because I'm saying these things doesn't mean all the way that I think it is harder to be a girl than a boy. I know there are some downfalls for boys too. But in my mind, it is way harder to be a girl. If you want to know what it feels like to be a girl, hey be like Bruce Jenner who is now know ass Caitlyn
