I just facepalmed so hard I almost broke my nose.
"Testicles are sensitive organs, so being a man is HARD. I feel perfectly comfortable ignoring thousands of years of subjugation and oppression, the pain of childbirth, constant threat and fear of rape, and glass ceilings that are only now beginning to break, because one time I ZIPPED MY WANKER UP IN MY PANTS! I'm not sure I can go on with all these higher wages, more professional respect, and the ability to progress in the world without beating unfair odds that most people seem to have stopped acknowledging exist."
I pity you guys, I really do.
*facepalms again*
Ow.

Being a dude, I have to say it's really, really tough RULING THE FUCKING WORLD. Seriously, are people really saying women have it better because they can't be drafted? For a long while, in the supposedly most progressive country in the world, they couldn't vote. A huge percentage of the planet makes them wear burkas or cuts off their clitoris or doesn't allow them to drive cars or learn to read. And guys ***** about an embarrassing woody. Men write most of the laws, hold the vast majority of political power, and yet we have the balls to ***** about how society treats us.
There's a book called Self made man it's about a lesbian who learns male mannerisms and to look like a man to go undercover in male culture. Part of the book is about a male friend convincing her to try picking-up straight women at the bar. As she starts to walk up to the first woman she could hear her friend laughing as if he know what was about to happen. The women would say cruel things to her when she approached them as a man.
I think it depends on location and time, back in the day when men were expected to "Be MEN!!!!" things would have been different to now and even different societies in modern times with certain expectations
if talking about a pure biological standpoint I'd have to say women have it rougher, a mans hightened average strength makes general life easier with also not having monthly cramps and general annoyances
If everything was to come into play however, the story is... well too complicated and as I mentioned before comes down purely to where and when you lived, people LOVE to talk about mistreatment and oppression back in the day while ignoring the fact despite what they claim it was not some mystical wonderland where being a man was EXCELLENT and only women had it rough so not everything is as black and white
Modern times expectations of both genders are far FAR more relaxed, yeah you've got some families and places that still demand things of their children and some things are based on genders, the males on average are expected to do heavier jobs on average though given that heavier jobs on average are easier on for males doesn't entirely add a point to the men have it rougher... though lifting those HUGE god damn rocks in your garden mum IS NOT GOD DAMN EASY JUST BECAUSE I'M A GUY!!!... *Coughs* ok were were we...
Anyways I am bored and felt like rambling, seriously though it's of my opinion... who knows? both sides do indeed have issues and to be honest, I don't believe either gender could handle the issues of the other, expectations and physical differences will never be understood well enough for an informed decision

LMFAO! What troubled lives we live!gravitate said:
umm, so, I'm not going to read any of this thread and just say... obvious troll is obvious?
Yeah... comparing menstruation to unwelcome visits from the pant-serpent just seems too much like apples and oranges to me.stinkychops said:
and for all the half-wits arguing that women have been oppressed for a long time, yes, of course they have. But WAIT! Notice the OP using the present tense "sucks" not "sucked". Additionally, I'm fairly certain most of our home countries no longer practice patriarchy or even oppress women much at all.
Anyway, Each has their ups and downs...
For example, its harder for women to reach a climax than men, yet it can be maintained much longer.
Men have balls. Women will never ever understand how much that sucks.littlealicewhite said:
They may not be as severe as a period at any one time, but balls are 24/7.
It really depends. Men can have an easier time, but usually only if they are "Men". Women have the advantage of being allowed to be more flexible in life. Atleast in good countries.
Ofcourse, oppressive countries, its much suckier to be a woman.
1. If your going to quote me do it properly and with my own wordsthelastgentleman said:
2. Men do not Menstruate we do not have a endometruim to shed....so yeah no again
Good Day To You Sir[/quote]
I did quote you. I didn't miss anything out that was relevant to what I was saying.
1.) It was a joke. Manstruation of course doesn't exist. Google it. I'm sure you'll find something on Urban Dictionary on it.
Most of these have been covered, but here goes:
- Periods (not JUST bleeding, but hormone changes, skin breakouts, mood swings, sore boobs, stomach cramps, expensive sanitary items, so on and so on)
- Being kicked in the crotch hurts women just as much as men. The pubic bone is REALLY painful when something impacts against it, and if you're unlucky enough to manage to strike the clitoris against something, (corner of a chest of drawers, from personal experience), it hurts beyond words
- Sexual discrimination. Say what you want, even in Western cultures its still rife. Try being a woman somewhere like Iraq, where a woman who is raped is punished for it, or in places where they still practice female circumcision (for a comparison - a male who is circumcised can lead a normal, healthy life. A woman who is circumcised has her genitals butchered, and is completely incapable of enjoying sex. In some cases, they go as far as to seal the vagina completely to ensure virginity until marriage).
Make no mistake - it IS easier to be a man. Sure, I can see the arguments about morning wood, but thats a minor inconvenience compared to the things above. The only arguments against that I can see are divorce settlements and things like car insurance being higher. I think the way divorce is handled is ridiculous - it should be assessed on a case by case basis, and never assume that the woman should automatically get custody and more money. As far insurance, I'm pretty sure that is based on stats showing that men are more likely to make high insurance claims (if I'm not mistaken, women have higher numbers of small accidents (a bump while parking, for instance) and fewer bad accidents, while it is reversed for men. I might be wrong, but I swear I heard that once).
TL;DR - its harder to be a woman.

Really? Because, you know, the 0.1% of men who are writing the laws and holding the power TOTALLY give a shit about me, or you, or anyone else posting here. I don't rule the world any more than any woman ever. I hardly think that it matters to most of us, since it isn't US.BiscuitWheels said:
