Silliness. You can analyze and understand via observation and reason.

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.
