Do you think it's easier being a boy or a girl?

[Shar]

Labour is worse than any of the cons of being a male. End of!!!!!

[FlyingJesus]

You're right one experience which you don't have to do if you don't want to is worse than an entire lifetime of being worse off

[.iNova.]

Labour can't be that bad! Hey, with me, if it went up, then what comes out is no trouble!

It's so typical for guys to say that labour isn't that bad!

[buttons]

- More pressure to be the one making the money to support the family
- You're not as close to your friends, in the sense that it's a rarity to talk about sensitive things, or emotions
- You cannot be yourself/express yourself as much infront of other people, because they'll jump to conclusions!
- It's more difficult for a male to find a lover!
- You have to fear getting into a physical confrontation more
- Suicide rates are a lot higher for males http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...y_suicide_rate
- You have to worry about looking scrony or weak, and have to worry about being manly, macho
- Can't express a liking to another male (a friendly liking) without having to fear of being classified as gay
- Have a much bigger sex drive, which can get incredibly annoying especially when it's not satisfied
- If being a boy is easier why do so many boys want to be girls?!
- Boys DONT have breasts or a vagina. I see boys in the other thread saying they'd like to be a girl for those reasons; but I don't see girls wanting to be a guy to have male body parts!

- they normally earn more than woman for the same job anyway so hush
- um find better friends then. i only talk to MALE friends about sensitive topics
- gay
- that's because we're hotter
- yeah but most guys forgive and forget, with girls they ***** for months on end over nothing. you won't get beat up if you're not a *****
- so lol doesn't mean they're commiting suicide over being male.
- manly men are fine if you want to feel safe for like a 2 month relationship and if you feel insecure, otherwise give me a skinny (mm) coward any day! not want him to suddenly turn on me:S
- gay
- boys can have sex whenever and with whoever and they're heros, girls have sex with 2 different people and they're ****.
- because they're gay and want to be straight
- invalid, that's because penis' are ugly, not that vaginas are better but i suppose boobs are alright.

-Period pains
-Mood swings
-Child birth
-The need to look good and stay skinny
-Pressure from guys - in terms of look (skinny, big breasts, curvy, tall) and sex
-Being considered as a '****' if you have more male friends than female
-Pressure to be the one looking after the family and all domestic things
-Depression is more commom with women than with men
-Being judged based on the way you dress rather than your personality

- oh no a few days of pain (i can't get out my bed or sleep on the first day, it's actually so sore that i cry and sometimes throw up ¬.¬), so what? at least you know your body is working fine and you can have babies. plus gives me the excuse to stay in bed eating chocolate n ice cream
- ok so what girls are moody anyway
- prob gotta be one of the best experiences in life:S
- guys should follow that rule too i aint ******* no fatty
- lol so what most girls can get laid anyway, every1 knows the fatties are gagging for it.
- yeah true but why's that a bad thing? you're seen as gay if you have more female than male friends. deal with it. most my friends are male and i've not slept with any of them lol...
- just get a rich hubby to get you your own maid, problem solved god
- don't really care about depressed people go away
- girls dress to impress girls. guys don't care unless your boobs/bum/legs are on show (don't try this unless you're fit)

It's so typical for guys to say that labour isn't that bad!

yeah labours so bad people still go through it again & again..
and it's worth it

girs have more advantages they're just too grumpy/depressed/pmsing to realize.

You're clearly too wrapped up in traditional thoughts and what people think of you. For example I don't think we can attribute a higher suicide rate among males because in traditional families males are expected to be the breadwinner. You could call other guys handsome and plus there's nothing wrong with sounding a little gay, it doesn't mean that you are. If you go over the top with it, you risk coming across as gay and then girls won't be interested in you but it's not black and white. You can compliment other guys on how they look, "I like the hairstyle" or "Nice shirt" or something. And I don't think it's the case that guys won't listen to you, in a strong friendship you should have no trouble with "opening up a bit".

If I told anyone at all that, "Orlando Bloom is handsome," the very first thing they would do would be to jump to a wrong conclusion.

I'm actually not sure about why we have a higher suicide rate, it's probably a number of things.

Strong friendship or not between two boys or not, you're still rarely going to be able to replicate a similar communication structure as that of a friendship between two females

And how would you know

I do agree with you. That is not a fun aspect of being a female, though I suppose it's their own fault for being pregnant in the firstplace (with a little help--of course )
