Is it harder being male or female?

[Kyle]

Overall what do you think is more difficult? Living as a male or a female? Is it different now to how it used to be? What contexts would tip the scales either way?

and please shut up about periods they're not even that bad. drama queens. :¬:

[buttons]

don't even go there with periods, how would u know? i get such bad pms that affects me mentally and physically. i get suicidal and impulsive which isn't a good combination. ive dumped people and left friendships because of pms. i feel sick and can't move out of bed when my period is really bad, making me miss uni and special events. this happens every month and i feel awful for a week but im expected to get on with my day and 'shut up about periods because they're not that bad'.

anyway i think females have it worse in some aspects but nowhere near as much as people believe.

[Jurv]

female purely because of periods and pregnancy

but i wouldn't say it's hard being either tbf unless something bad happens to you, idk

[Shar]

How the hell would you know about periods they can be a right ***** and the pms that comes along with it and the spots and everything it's awful so shhhh. There's times I can't get out of bed because it's that bad. Everyone has different experiences some worse than other and its not always the same. I tend to get super irritable and snappy because of pms and omg can I get through chocolate. As soon as its over I usually regret the snappiness and chocolate.

Anyway having said that it is something we are forced to deal with and I don't tend to use it as an excuse for my behaviour/getting out of things.

In some aspects it is hard being a women such as childbirth. Its wonderful and horrible at the same time.

From what I've seen with my male relatives it seems harder to be a male because of the expectations other people have for them as a male.

[Hannah]

Females clearly got the bum deal here.

Not only with periods and pregnancy etc. but expectations, still lower wages in a few jobs (and by few, I mean very, very few), treated differently at work because of being female, etc. etc. (though this could work in their favour).

We do however, get to flutter our eyelashes and get better treatment than a male would, for example.

Women are better off in richer countries rather than those with rules which make women possessions rather than human beings.

[wixard]

i don't think that we have it worse, i'm just really jealous that i was born a girl and not a boy

you guys look like you have so much more fun, things look easier
IT'S NOT FAIR

if i had the choice i'd rather be a boy and not a girl (I'M NOT TRANSGENDER JUST MY OPINION ON WHICH SEX IS BETTER)

[Matt]

I'd have said males get it so much easier haha. In the past even if men went out to work all day, the women still had to do their fair share of work too. Sometimes I don't think they get enough credit :P They've got it pretty tough in my opinion.

[Kyle]

lmao! I was kidding about periods sorry if I offended! but I would like some opinions on the non physiological obstacles that each gender faces :)

[Red]

100% everything shar and jen had to say about periods so physically women!! Historically and still today in certain countries, women have it worse off with less rights. Interesting vid on like a girl being an insult if anyone hasn't seen it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjJQBjWYDTs
Also I am jel how they can be ready in like 5 mins! Although it would be hard to be a boy because they are expected to be the ones to approach girls, the one to be the main breadwinner etc.

[wixard]

omg kirsty was really enjoying that vid til i saw it was an always vid looool

i disagree though, men traditionally call all the shots in the relationship that i wish we could have, like chatting up a girl, asking a girl out, proposing

[Red]

haha I am glad they are the ones that have to do that!

[Lewis]

Both really, it depends.

But males definitely get it hard when it comes to sexism, I've never honestly met a female that isn't sexist in real life. They always say males are the sexist ones, but females are just as bad if not worse.

Is that some kind of joke lol

I understand women can be prejudiced against men but in case u haven't noticed we've only recently started to be allowed the same rights as you.

"Females are just as bad if not worse"?
I'm sorry but what do u mean by this? Can u suddenly not vote? Can u suddenly not own your own property? Or if you do own ur own property but then get married, ur wife gets it? Are u not getting paid as much as us for the same job? Are being shamed for having a job because u have children u should be looking after whilst u let ur wife go out to earn the money?

I know all of these things have been solved now but that's only happened in the last hundred years or so. And I know you were only referring to the present but u will almost definitely never have it worse than we have. We've been dealt the dud hand throughout history in terms of our rights.

In a reply to the OP:
Probably equally hard being both depending on how you look at it. And we're brought up to deal with it. Like I've spent my entire life practicing to be a girl (not literally studying for it but u know what I mean). So it sucks with the whole period, pregnancy, childbirth, old stereotypes about women, etc. but you've spent your whole life learning to live with it.

I believe the bigger issue here is race. a white woman in society will be more privileged than people of colour, regardless of their gender.

Yh I agree, I was just talking about women on the whole cos that was what was relevant to this topic.
Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_pay_for_equal_work

However it is true that white women are more privileged. It's definitely changing and starting to become more equal in the western world but it's gonna take some time to get there. Same with gender equality. You can't change peoples' opinions overnight and white women had to fight for a damn long time before changes started to be made. I think it is the same with race. It's taking longer but it is getting there.

[Catchy]

Female, childbirth... It isn't pretty

[-:Undertaker:-]

Oh jesus, cue the extreme-left social justice tumblr brigade on here droning on and on about their delusional privilege argument any minute now.

Quite frankly, i'm sick to the back teeth of hearing about wimmin's rights, homo rights, LBGTXYZ rights, efnik rights... the right to healthcare, the right to buy a gay wedding cake, the right to not have your smoke in my face even though you don't own the property, the right to this, the right to that - all of which for the most part are completely made up. When somebody says they have a 'right' to something nowadays, it usually means that they either want your money or want something you have via quotas, ie your job.

Women in 2014 Britain as well as the western world at large are treated just fine (well, culturally British women for the most part are), and if you want to harp on and be concerned about women's rights the go and worry about the rights of women in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, Pakistan or Rotherham. That's where the real issue of women's rights is right now, places were women aren't complaining about imagined privileges but are fearful for their very lives and basic God-given rights as individuals.

Black women in Britain got the right to vote at the same time as white women, as far as I am aware.

What I learnt was that black females got the vote but they weren't guaranteed it and were allowed to be turned away for no reason. I believe black men got the vote before all women tho. Also I'm probably what you'd call left wing but I definitely do not agree with the majority of feminism (anymore)

I agree and do believe race plays a big part.

In my parent's "community" there's a lot of things boys can get away with and if a girl did the same thing it would be frowned upon. It really confuses all of my white friends why I can't do some stuff and it doesn't make sense to them whereas all my asian friend's understand why as they face similar challenges. It's kinda hard to explain things sometimes. However, I have noticed a lot of developments from 10 years ago to now so there is definitely progress and I feel I have more rights than what my female relatives did back then.

I ain't talking history here. Of course women had it a lot worse back then, heck a million times worse. What I meant is that nowadays I constantly hear women talking about men saying they should be able do this or that because they're male but they can't or shouldn't because they're females--which I see more often than the likes of "women should stay in the kitchen".

And considering you basically came to the same conclusion as me when it comes to equally hard depending on everything, there's no need for the long history lesson--I'm already aware of it all and find it disgusting how it was before!

People always consider sexism as mainly to do with males being prejudice towards females, and over history this has been the case, yes. But whatever types of sexism it may be, it commonly happens to males today. Although of course, it isn't anywhere near as bad as it was for females back then--not even close.

In conclusion: I am not saying we have it worse than female history--we likely never will. I am talking about the present and only the present.

You can tell which ones are on their period!!11 /s

Seriously though, I'd say females, purely down to pregnancy.

I think pregnancy is the decider tbh :P And not for the childbirth, but the other 9 months of ****. Not looking forward to going to work (as a teacher) feeling like **** 24/7 for a minimum of 14 weeks. Can't beat vomiting everywhere in front of pupils.

[MKR&*42]

I think the question is too general to decide an answer. Both men and women have difficulties in life and I would almost be tempted to say it is hard being human regardless of your sex. I am a white male and I do not consider myself privileged nor do I consider myself to have an 'easy' life.

I would say your social class affects your difficulty in life more than sex.

idk i can just see this turning into feminists vs MRA thread

what's the point having Internet, food, clothes and clean water when there are issues that make u not want to live

[Kardan]

what's the point having Internet, food, clothes and clean water when there are issues that make u not want to live

Would you not agree that you are better off with those things and your issue rather than not having those things and your issue?

For example, if I had a terminal illness and a year or so left to live, I imagine my life would be a lot easier with internet/food/clothes/water than without - I mean, it still doesn't solve your problem, and your life is still difficult, but surely it's a lot more difficult without those things.

My point really is, there's always someone worse off, no matter how "hard" we consider our lives to be.

[MKR&*42]

What a difficult life you live with internet, food, clothes, clean water.

... That's not even funny at best. That's a very unfair thing to say and I strongly dislike people who say 'omg you cant have a bad life because x has it worse' it is a ******* awful excuse to use. Did I even state why I consider my life to ''not be easy"? No I did not. Of course some people will have it worse off than you but it does not mean you have an easy life.

The comment had an element of sarcasm to it, it wasn't meant to be taken literally. It's quite obvious that life isn't perfect with those 4 things, my point is that we should be grateful that are lives aren't worse - that doesn't mean we should feel okay where we are, just somewhat grateful that it's not as bad as it *could* be.

Example: I've only got 6 months to live. That absolutely sucks. But at least it's better than people that only have 2 weeks to live. It doesn't solve my problem, and it doesn't mean my life is 'good', but it's still a fact that I'm not in the worse situation I could possibly be in.

Why are you talking about the past when it's clearly on about now? I also think you fail to realise that not all men could vote in the past anyway, it was limited to the rich (land owners). In the past there's always been one group that's been tread on and if you want to completely go off topic from the premise of the original post and avoid all context then surely I could just say black men had it worse compared to white women in the past? Why not actually stick to the original topic which is about whether it's harder or not to be male or female today, talking about women not being able to vote in the past is completely irrelevant to this point and nothing you've said counters what Lewis; wrote.

There was a bit of sarcasm in my post but it didn't come across well haha. But yeah, feminism is a bit like a school clic, if you're not in it then you're like a terrible person and if you speak against it, you're pretty much declaring war on humanity.

Being realsies though, it's harder being a guy because... We're persecuted as man *****s :(

And typically you can't like girl stuff like girl colour eg pink without getting stereotyped so hard but a girl can like supposedly guy colours eg black and blue

definatly tougher for us men, we have to put up with everything and the worst feeling and pain in the world is being hit in the balls. girls have it easy and as a bonus for the easy thing of having a child they get between 6 and 12 months off work! its totally unfair, then the hard part always falls on the man anyways cos evryone knows women are complete lazy swines!

Um tired and sick of me or tired and sick irl. If its the latter gws :)

Thre are like distinct girl stuff but technically not guy stuff. Eg idk if this is the wrong example but let's just say girls can play lego and barbies and guys as long as u touch those dolls u get looked at strangely and girls can like um hold hands with their bffs and unhook each other bra straps (girls at my sch used to do tht lmao) but for guys we can't just go arnd and do tht

And yes guys are expected to tolerate everything n tbh I don't even gaf what peoples gender is and I've got **** like cuz she's a girl you must give way

Real life story once I got morning wood and my mum was in my room shouting at me to get up and refused to leave my room and I grasped onto my blanket against my crotch and got up it was so embarrassing omg (she didn't say anything tho lul)

Hate that we guys sexual arouse-ment is visible zzz

No im like sick irl and had no sleep :p

Yeah thts understandable but idk erections to me dont come across like something difficult to live with

Like they're natural like periods and pregnancy, but periods and pregnancy hurt and they last longer.

Nd idk thts just who you're around, not your gender. I used to get called a boy for wanting to skateboard or play lego, but my current friends liked the same as me so they never said **** about it when we were younger. Its nothing on gender I dont think, its to do with the nasty ass people you can be around

From what I've seen with my male relatives it seems harder to be a male because of the expectations other people have for them as a male.

never really talked to anyone about this type of thing, but i'm glad some out here empathises with it. personally i think i'd be in a better situation as a current generation white woman, but my issues shouldn't get in the way of the general discussion, in which case i would side with it harder being female.

How is the human race suppose to reproduce if females don't get pregnant and go through childbirth? You're talking about a whole other debate about unplanned pregnancies there. I think most people here are talking about pregnancy and childbirth in general here.

Men and women both go through different challenges, its hard being either sex in their own right.

On the 'Men getting hit in the balls' note, whilst I do think women have it worse, I don't think any female can truly empathise being hit in the balls, it's not just a bad pain, it's some whole new weird type of pain. It's hard to explain, I'm sure other people can explain it better.

But then again, I imagine pregnancy isn't just like a bad pain either :P

Apparently if women get hit hard enough in the ovaries (ie to reach them) it's just as painful, but it still isn't the same because you'd need to use a lot of force (just thought it was interesting to bring up).

Now, I would say women do get it worse, I'm all for equality but I don't believe we are equal yet, due to those women in other religions, other countries etc being a lot worse off.

And yeh, we get periods. And due to me getting horrible periods that made no sense etc it's a big factor for me. Otherwise this is a masssiveee debate.

just pretty much skipped from page 1 to 6 because the replies got too long :(

personally i think it's harder being female and pretty much always has been. voting, discrimination and being 'the weaker sex' has always been an issue. a guy can sleep with tens of girls and be a 'lad' and a girl can never have sex with more than one person without somehow be called a **** by the same ppl awarding lad points to the first guy, it's pathetic

periods and pregnancy also, hormones flying everywhere one a week every month, not wanting to talk to/be in the presence of anyone at all and just wantin to eat to death. i become really horrible and spiteful to ppl i like, tom just knows when it's my time cos i will become really put off him even when we're texting i'll become really annoying and not take no for an answer on anything. i don't like leaving the house/bed especially for school or anything like that just crying all the time. ugh i don't want to think about it.
