<p>And are you generally happy or sad?</p>
<p>I'll start:</p>
<p>yes, I do think that girls have it better than boys</p>
<p>and i'm generally sad right now.</p>
<p>Dudes have it easier.</p>
<p>Harder to get an STD from a female.
Can’t get pregnant
Entire self-worth isn’t based on your looks
Can’t be called a hoe
They don’t feel like their uterus is gonna fall out all the time</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Anyone can be called a hoe…?</p>
<p>I don’t think one gender has it easier than another, in general.</p>
<p>People have it hard. Poor people have it harder.</p>
<p>girls seem to have more fun, they’re always going out with their girlfriends and their friendships seem to be extremely close, like they’re sisters.
Guys have to do the asking, and have to…pay, and provide for the family.</p>
<p>Honestly I think everything balances out, I’m okay with being a guy though</p>
<p>Guys had to be raised to “be tough”, “be a man”. Ignore pain and suppress feeling. Don’t show weakness. Be all macho. Be insecure about it. We deal with that **** too much.</p>
<p>I think guys have it easier in the sense that… any guy could be consider “cute” as long as he doesn’t have acne. Or maybe that’s just me.</p>
<p>Also, they don’t get periods, can’t get pregnant, and I’m assuming that guys typically don’t have to spend as much money as girls do. Male clothes are usually cheaper… they also usually don’t buy makeup or accessories or things of the sort, lol </p>
<p>However, for the colleges I’m interested in, being a prospective female engineering major slightly helps.</p>
<p>^^ Agree, it balances out. I like being a girl.</p>
<p>^ </p>
<p>(wait, guys are raised to be insecure??)</p>
<p>^it’s weird though, I feel it’s girls who judge guys based on looks more, it seems</p>
<p>I’m a guy. I’ll be able to enter any career without any stigma. I’ll make more money. I won’t have to push a baby through a hole in myself. I can have sex with as many partners as I want without being called a slut (so long as I’m not attached). I can eat a lot and not feel guilty. I can go from bed to prepared for the day in fifteen minutes. I won’t do as much housekeeping. I can enjoy things like golf and whiskey. </p>
<p>Why would I want to be a girl?</p>
<p>^ I really don’t think so. It’s a lot easier for a not-so-good looking guy to get a date with a good-looking girl than the other way around.</p>
<p>^ Ding-ding-ding. I agree.</p>
<p>Except I could make out with another chick and no one would care.</p>
<p>No OP, you are wrong. You obviously are not aware of the terms “menstruation” and, in elaboration of that for further contradiction of your belief, “menstrual cramps.”</p>
<p>People should refrain from thinking that other groups have it easier, just because they want to be a part of the group that is seen as having the most to deal with.</p>
<p>“They don’t feel like their uterus is gonna fall out all the time”</p>
<p>Uhhh… What?</p>
<p>^^^^^i enjoy whiskey…</p>
<p>In any case, i feel it’s easier to be a guy because of the whole appearance thing. we are socially conditioned and biologically predisposed to judge other girls based on their appearances, often ruthlessly [i don’t, but that sort of judgement is ever-present, under the surface]. Girls [generally] spend more on clothes, makeup, accessories, hair products etc.
then there’s periods and all that woman crap. I hate that there are times of the month when i can’t wear certain clothes, have to worry if i want to go swimming, get really bad cramps [you’d think your uterus could only feel like it’s exploding ONCE], hate everyone around me and on top of that could [in the future] accidentally get pregnant and have to deal with it.
perks? as a short female, people generally give me the benefit of the doubt, are less harsh on me and more willing to do favors for me.</p>
<p>
Well, assuming things are consensual, that’s a known risk going into those situations.</p>
<p>To maintain my position that neither gender has it “harder”, I will present a counter point:</p>
<p>Females cannot be drafted and sent involuntarily into war. Males in this country still have to fill out a draft card at 18, and the draft could be reopened at any time, if enough people aren’t joining all the branches of the military.</p>
<p>^accidental pregnancies happen far more often than drafts. if i were to get pregnant, i would have to at the very least carry the child to term. accidental fathers can [and often do] walk out.</p>
<p>in any case, i like being a girl. guys have to “be a man”. at least i can cry if i want to.</p>
<p>
The death rate for mothers in birth in the US is lower than that of US soldiers. And, as long as it is consensual, the parents brought it upon themselves. The person drafted is not to blame for being drafted.</p>
<p>All human beings have a lot to deal with. And human beings have it tough, in general.</p>
<p>^^ I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. (in reference to crying)</p>
<p>It is far easier for a guy to reach a certain goal while doing a certain activity than it is for a girl.</p>
<p>Also, Billy, where did you get that info? What is the death rate of draftees, those who didn’t want to serve, as opposed to those who wanted to?</p>
<p>What about in other countries? you’re practically doomed if you’re a female</p>
