Why?

[AaronKrieger]

No one knows. We suffer in different ways and go about the world with a different mindset and reinforced ideas in our head. Also, our coping methods and social lives are very different.

[TheIrishWolf]

But our behvuors as men and women all over the world are the same. So is their a difference of suffering. For example, men commit suicide more.

[AaronKrieger]

That's not a good example, as women are more likely to attempt to kill themselves. Also, women are more likely to be depressed than men. This is due to how we have different coping methods, and reinforced mindsets/ideas put in our head as a child. Also, our bodies just work differently and that includes our brains.

Anyway, our behaviors and struggles are quite different though, which makes it quite a complicated topic with many factors at play. For example, men and women experience insecurity over their body very differently even from a young age. Women are SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to experience validation for their body no matter it's shape than men, yet women are also way more likely to get shit on for their body no matter it's shape. Ballet is a good example, since you'll find many girls who took ballet having eating disorders due to how bad it was for their psyche. Men can shit get while skinny, but it's not the same and it'll never be for not being skinny enough.

I think it is a good exmaple.. Its a VERY serious thing that the fact that more men commit suicidel. Despite your claims.

I think Women are more expressive than men are, but men aren't as much. Hence why women "attempt more" and men "commit it". Thats my theory.

If a couple gets divorced, men suffer more: house, kids, money...

The world is more sympathetic to a woman, than a man. A man has to be careful with women for fear of false rape accusations and domestic abuse as well.

[AaronKrieger]

It is a serious thing, but if you are comparing mental health, then I think do not think it is a good example of men having it harder. I'd say women having more failed suicide attempts than men do just due to men often using more lethal force (that's my theory) rather than those things you said. I suppose you could say men are more effective at it as fucked up as that sounds (probably not all there is to it)

For the expressive/venting coping method part, I do think it contributes to them getting there. However, I also do think the lack of expressiveness can help men as well and women can be too expressive. Just depends on the individual, as there are many where it does not hurt/help them at all.

As for the other stuff you said you are completely right, as those are areas where men have it way harder. I also think there are other areas where women have it harder as well. Both genders just struggle in a lot of different ways. I know that's vague/broad and I'd state more examples like my last one about insecurity, but I don't want to make this any longer than it is lmao

Men have to bust ass to get by in life. Women just cruise.

[TheIrishWolf]

Ti a certain extent, yeah. For example, a woman will get hired because she's a woman fir "diversity of gender", and will get it easier. Which is quite patronising for a woman if ya ask me.

[TheIrishWolf]

But I've heard some instances of dirsctimation against women for being a women as well. Pregnancy and all that... so that can't be easy.

[FunkyMonkee]

What more could they want? They've got HALF the money and ALL the pussy!!!

[TheIrishWolf]

🤣🤣🤣

[Anonymous]

Women.

Pregnancy, periods, rape. I could go on and on.

What do men do, work, fart, sleep?

[TheIrishWolf]

It seems like tour getting at two things here so I'll reciprocate appropriately:

1: kids get taken away, take their house, money, we have to deal with women that are on their periods (this one's a joke, lol), get accused of rape, assault, woman are more sympathised for than men.

And ti your last point:

2. They ONLY, build your house, do your pluming, fix dangerous electricity lines, go deep sea fishing in storms, deep dive hundreds of meters to repair internet cable lines, deep coal mine, protect you in war, and fart and sleep.

[TheIrishWolf]

I'd still rather be a man, though. 😂

[Tyrael]

Men, no contest.
