Ive always wondered why people think sexual harasment only happens to women simply because its the only one society treats as a problem. I quit going to the gym to avoid cougars, and I hate going out without a femail friend to keep the random gropings down, Heck last time someone made a grab for my wallet in the university centre, she just went and cried to campus security saying all she was doing was grabbing my ass and it was no reason to shove her away. Long story short I had to take a stupid course, above and beyond the "youre a potential rapist" class i had to take based on my gender.Lilani said:
Also I assume you mean im less likely to be raped when you say "being significantly more at risk when going places after dark" because statistically men are MUCH more likely to be victims of violent crime even when gang violence is removed.
But then again, that tends to be the women that ***** about it. Men just go "Meh, it ended up in the right room, close enough..." Admittedly I tend to be quite conscientious about where my waste products end up, but I won't often hear men complaining about poor male aim. Boners and the spunking are annoying, I'll give you that. I don't think men have no problems...but compare that to periods and childbirth and I'll be keeping my 'Y' chromosome if ya don't mind!William MacKay said:
As far as strength, speeds etc? Well, you're absolutely right - we're not always stronger and faster. However, why do you think we have separate events for men and women in sports? It's certainly not to to make sure the males have a chance to win - quite the opposite! If you look at world records for physical feats, they are pretty much all by men. Even without training, men are naturally more physically able - You pick ten random female friends out of a hat and pit them against ten random male friends and tell me who'd win in a fight. It won't be the women. That is, unless, all your female friends are olympic athletes and all your male friends are slobby gamers like us.
I won't labour the point, because I know I'm getting bored, so I don't know about you, but the average male in any given ethnicity will be taller than the average female in the same ethnic group.
So...in short...men have a natural physical advantage over women that they can only counter with intense training. That kind of sucks to be a woman, then!
On the other hand...who has it harder in relationships? I say men...and I reckon we can all agree on that...
I have to say that its harder to be a woman.
First of all the majority of women are smaller than the majority of men so they typically get pushed around a lot.
Second they have to worry about looking their best all the time lest they be judged eternally as a social outcast.
third periods.
and of course there is the social issues that women have to deal with especially in more primitive cultures.

Do you bleed out of your penis every month? I'm assuming no. Males have it kind of better than the Females do.
Women have to menstruate. Men do not. Men can pee standing up. Women cannot.
I would say that men have it better on a biological standpoint.

Wrong. 20% of Hate crimes involve a White victim, and you'd still fair better in court than I on drug charges.xqxm said:
Edit: Wait, you're Swedish? I'm sincerely curious, what racial tensions exist in that country?
I chose the word profusely for a reason on this subject. Yes other mammals menstruate but it's not the level of 'That thing should have died by now'. Granted it's only a small percentage of women that have heavy bleeding but the amount of blood other animals pour out is minimal. If you would like to know way too much about this subject I would suggest http://en.allexperts.com/q/Wild-Animals-705/Animal-Menstruation.htm.Generic Gamer said:
If anything I would assume it was internal bleeding from giving birth. As it's been common with pets I've had and friends pets. As someone else stated. 95% chance of vaginal tearing!
At least periods are optional now days with advancing medicine. n__n
Interesting - have you given birth? As you are clearly a guy then no, no you haven't.. therefore YOU have no right to argue that point. I have plenty of friends with kids - all except one the mother stays home and looks after the kids, the guy supports the family. Oh and every statistic backs this up. Yes, more men are staying at home then previously (previously basically none did) but women still are far and above more likely to do so.gravitate said:
I believe women get it harder then men in a lot of regards - men have some things that suck that are only for us, but I think the girls edge us up, mostly in social standing due to lots of idiots.
However I hate.. HATE the following stupid statements so many women make.
1. If men had to give birth the human race would have died out years ago! You couldn't take it!
2. You have no IDEA how much periods suck, NOTHING you go through comes close!
The reason I hate these is because most women who say them do so because they can never be really proven wrong, so it's a 'safe' statement. Nevermind that you also can't prove them to be true.
Birth is painful, hormones raging once a month sucks. Not arguing. But they are not the two worst things in the world to ever be had by anyone.
Silliness. You can analyze and understand via observation and reason.PayneTrayne said:

Anywho, to respond to the topic:
Anyone who thinks one gender has it much harder than the other has no freaking clue what they're talking about. Both have to deal with nonsense they shouldn't have to in ideal society.
Women have to deal with being what the other gender is rather hungry for, and that leads to a variety of grievances. Getting hit on despite having long said "no." Making male "friends" who ultimately are only tolerating friendship in the hope of being seen as something more. Being told that dressing provocatively is "inviting rape." Making less money and getting less overall respect for not being men, except from men who really, really want to sleep with you. More people than not the world over see you as the household caretaker; you could be a flippin' astronaut and a disturbingly large body of people will wonder why you aren't cleaning a kitchen and siring an heir.
Think being a man is so great? Try thinking that after being falsely accused of rape and being considered guilty until proven innocent, thanks to a justice system where female accusers get the benefit of the doubt more often than not (The False Rape Society exists for a reason). Or how about domestic disputes, where even if YOU were the one abused and didn't lift a finger, YOU'RE getting taken to the police station? Less serious but still annoying: having your fellow males shoot down your ideas over a woman's because that woman happens to be attractive and said fellow males think supporting her ideas will lead to sex (somehow). You'll be assumed to be a breadwinner, a sports watcher, a roughneck, and, depending on what group of people you ask, an imbecile, simply because you're a male.
The world sucks.
