Who has it easier....???

[Eternal Nightmare]

Ok so I thought id bring back this topic after about 2-3 years :3. It was a pretty popular thread then and even won "Thread of the Week" when that was going on. Plus it was great for me as I loved reading everyones responses, debates, and agreements with each other.

Ok pretty simple question:
Who has it easier: Boys or Girls

This mean each and every aspect of growing up, life, social, mental, and emotional aspects, all that good stuff. Please back up your reason as usual and if you agree or disagree someone please provide why or a counter as to why you disagree.

each individual suffers in different ways

side note: do you feel "superior" because a thread on the internet reached the conclusion that women have it worse or something when did life become a contest congratulations on "having it easier"

 

[Spinor]

Wooh hold your horses there :<. I didn't really mean it like that but by looking at my wording it does make it seem that dudes are more superior but that's not what I'm trying to spread. But for your sake and other female members I will edit that side not out kay. I'm not trying to be biased, discriminate or anything of that nature. I truely apologize.

 

[Magik?!]

I think that both groups of people have things to contend with. Women have all the icky stuff and the pain and all, and in society they're looked upon as less than men sometimes, whereas men are rarely looked down upon.
Men however have other things, like the fact that they are helpless if a girl takes her top off xD But I think always having to be the 'strong' one and stuff must get pretty annoying after a while.
I think it depends what your family are like as well, 'cause some families are really opinionated when it comes to gender roles, and some just want their kids to be what makes them happy, so yeah. I think it's dependant on a lot of things, but on the whole, I'd say women have it slightly worse off.

 

[Charizard★]

Males. They don't have to worry about some stuff that girls do.

 

[Zeffy]

It depends on the person.

But for me, its males. They never get to experience menstruation and pregnancy. >:O

It's just honest opinions :x
and I agree that each gender has its pros and cons I don't really think either has it worse.

edited : cross that out, i thought about it for a bit and what do males really have problems with, not talking about personal problems, relationships ect, but like things that all males go through, o3o? They don't really have anything, as for females we have menstruation and pregnancy which is kinda hard for males to understand sometimes. So overall I think males have it easier.

Really, the only thing women have it easier than men with is emotions and certain freedoms. It's okay for a girl to get emotional but the stigma attached to it with men is pretty strong. Same with relationships with friends--it's perfectly fine for girls to be affectionate with their friends, or spill all their secrets and thoughts and emotions... but not the same way for most guys. Then just speaking from a first-world point of view, no one looks twice at a woman who wears pants or overalls or the colour blue or pretty much anything commonly associated with menswear. But that doesn't work in reverse.

However! Men also have it better overall, to be blunt. Socially, men are higher in the ranks than women. They're statistically paid more across the board than women in the same positions. They're physically stronger and more resilient than women. Though I guess they also have to deal with facial hair more often than women. :s

But most importantly, they don't have to deal with periods. 'Nuff said.

(Actually I could say more on that. But I won't.)

I truely have to agree with you here Lightning...something that hasn't actually crossed my mind. Especially the clothing part. A man wearing a dress or short shorts(I've actually seen this Dx), what image does that portray whereas a woman in gym shorts and tanktops looks perfectly fine to me anyway.

When we're talking about bodily functions, men have it easier for reasons already mentioned.

Socially and everything else, it entirely depends on where in the world and which culture is involved. In the European-influenced cultures (i.e. Americas, Europe, South Africa, Australia & New Zealand), it normally is entirely acceptable for women to openly express their emotions and have very close relationships with friends. In other conservative cultures - and I'm not talking about political conservatives like Texas, but places like Bhutan or Tibet - it might be unacceptable for women to express themselves as men do, or maybe even more. Saving face, anyone? And like Lightning said, workplace equality is a problem almost everywhere in the world.

tl;dr: My vote goes to men.

 

[Dawn]

All factors considered, gonna have to jump on this 'ere bandwagon and say men have it easier. <_<;

I mean... forget the areas where women are actually rather oppressed there's enough of an argument to say women have it harder straight where I live. The way I see it girls and boys here both have their non-physical difficulties in life and it winds up evening out quite a bit most of the time. So that being said, it comes down to physical and the winner in that regard is clear to me.

 

[Vulpes bicaudata]

This thread is ridiculous. Robots obviously have it the best.

 

[Azonic]

Uh, us dudes have it easier. Unlike you prettier fellas we don't have to painfully release an unusually large solid substance through our genitals. Plus, men are looked up upon more than girls.

(")b

 

[dragoniteuser]

Chickes have it easier... When a man wants to see some breasts, and we all do..., we have to work our a***s of, and chicks just look down, and *puff* THERE IT IS!

Just kidding though, in my opinion, it's pretty equal... Where some have problems, other don't, and vice-versa. Sure, Women are still underprivileged in comparison to men, but that's getting fixed, and minimalized pretty fast, so...

try being a man with a kidney stone :x

i still stand by my viewpoint that each individual suffers differently. believe it or not some men do undergo physical pangs (men do experience a hormonal cycle similar to PMS). some women have short and painless periods, which maybe slightly inconvenient to take care of, but certainly not something i'd consider difficult. then a lot of women have a really difficult time with their periods. men and women are prone to different diseases, prostate cancer and cervical cancer are examples. socially, it's easy to say men have it easier because women are pressured to look a certain way and society sees females as the weaker gender, but men tend to be expected much more of in terms of physical and emotional strength. i can't bring myself to say women have it worse because i see both suffer; some men are snubbed for showing any emotion and some women are criticized for being "butch" when they want to partake in physical labor. there are plenty more situations i could get into. it just depends on how much a person is affected by those gender stereotypes, not everyone is, and some are more than others.

the way i see it, it really depends on the individual, their body, their background, and their aspirations.

 

[Honest]

Each gender obviously has there pros and cons. All in all, I think it's pretty even.

 

[Nick]

I agree with Sav. I think it depends on the person. Especially if you're going to incorporate all aspects of life.

Women are usually weaker physically than men and if they are too strong they are usually criticised for it. They are generally more comfortable with sharing their emotions however. Men are the opposite - they are stronger physically however like some people have said, there's a stigma associated with being in touch with your feelings as a man.

Women have been discriminated against in the past and in the present it is still a factor, albeit a smaller one. However, nowadays men have much discrimination based on sex. Women can report assault by men but men aren't often taken seriously if they are assaulted by women, women can wear men's clothes and play men's sport without being ridiculed but there's a double standard - things like this.

Women have to put up with period pains and childbirth, men have to put up with nagging wives [/massive generalisation based on TV shows]

Like that last sentence makes clear, it's different for everybody and every culture, I don't think there's a way to determine who has it harder. Though I do find it annoying when girls go on about having it harder than men (I'm sure I'd be annoyed if men said men had it harder often as well, but I just don't come across enough that will admit views like this). Harden up, princess.

aahhh the age old question ,we are both equals though some may say no the other has it easier but that's just being ignorant , because we both have are share of inconveniences and conveniences,but this question will still be asked till the end of time even if we find the answer we'll choose to ignore it ,just as we probably found the answer ,but still choose to ignore it .
