In my opinion women face more hardships than men in her life. They are supposed to be a good home-maker, besides an earning member. Now a days they not only earn handsomely but look after their homes also quite effectively. They are always supposed to look after their parents, husbands, children, brother, sisters more in comparison to their counter-parts (i.e. men). A woman plays the most challenging role in her life that is of being a mother. She brings a child into this world. Brings him/her up to the best possible manner and looks after him/her....till he/she becomes an adult. I mean to say...she is always on her feet...she is always on the move. I agree, men also suffer...but if a comparison is made....women suffer more than a men ...in her entire life...from beginning till end. Yours considered views please on the above issue. Thanks in advance.

Dear Vani! Hi! Whatever you have written is absolutely right. My mother (and now my wife) always remain busy like your mother throught the day..without any iota of tension on their forehead. They are the perfect home-makers. Thing is that their efforts in home-making are not acknowledged and rewarded and evaluated in terms of monetary gains. I have not seen all the replies, as yet, but I do feel that most of the members would be in agreement with my discussion. Have a Great Day! deepak

I first wish to say, you are right about a lot of what you have said. I have seen many children raised, both with a father and without. I believe that haveing a father for the child is very important, just as important as the mother. Some mothers can, on their own, raise a good child, but a lot of the time a child raised without their fathers, grow up to be very confused about things a father would teach them. For instance, How to be a good Man, How important it is to earn a living, How to fix a bike, or even How not to hit a woman, How to be responsible for the children they conseive....ect. For a girl, a Father teaches, what to expect from a man that wants to be with her, how important it is to save herfelf, (mostly not to give her father a heart attack), how to know the difference between a boy who wants to love her and a boy who just wants to get into her pants, that a man can be capable of love and tenderness and that if a man was ever to lay hands on her, it would not be just because he had a bad day! Since a good father, would raise her showing her that he never raised a hand to her mother!In a sence, I think woman have it hard, but I believe that men who own up to their responsabilities, have a pretty hard time themselves. They have to not have relations with them for approximetly 7 days out of every month and six weeks after child birth,(which is deffinatley harder for the woman because she bleeds)we all know how important relations are to a man! lol They have to wake up in the middle of the night and go to some strange store of our choice to give us that special food we crave when we are pregnant, they have to watch us give birth and still believe that it is possible for "it" to fit in there after that. lol When a man is in the home, he is usually the one who dissaplines the child, since they no longer listen to the mother. When the mother needs a day off, the father takes care of the kids, while haveing no clue what to do with them and the mother has caught on to how to take care of more than one child. So if you ask me both men and woman have it pretty equal.:D

Absoultely stunning and outstanding reply! I am just amazed to see your writing...how wonderfully you have written and supported the men. How nicely you have told that men are equally imporant and they play an important role. Kudos to you for your excellent reply. You have given a twist to the discussion and I really appreciate your views, because you have supported them with strong logics. Thanks very much for penning down one of the most inspiring reply...(for males). Deepak

Lara, I must re-iterate that I did enjoy it (After going through your reply...it struk me...that there are nice people (like you)...who can alwyas view a situation from a different but positive angle and others must read your thoughts, I firmly believe). You say that - "GOD has showen me a lot in the past few years." So naturally, your reply is based on your useful experiences. Lara, you say - "I'm glad that you enjoyed it and didn't take offence." I must tell you that I am not that kind of person...I always enjoy reading interesting and useful thoughts...irrespect of their origin or angle...and there is no question of taking offence on your reply (Had I taken an offence to your reply...it would have been very bad on my part and very silly of me too). I am overjoyed to read your comments - "I do enjoy what your discussion, was about as well, and a great reaply comes from a great converstation. So thank you for one of the best conversations I've taken part in so far" Lara, it is my pleasure, that you liked the way I commented. I always enjoy writing comments, counter-comments and sub-comments to enliven the discussion. Thanks for your thoughts. I am grateful to you. Deepak

Hi! Suba! Thanks for liking the post. Thanks also for endorsing my views and for writing a wonderful response. I share your concern ....we (men) need to reduce the work load of our mothers or the wives as the case may be. So considering today's hectic life each son and daughter should be taught...how to help their mothers in household work and other jobs. I always stress and ask my son and daughter to learn few useful things at home...so in the long run...they should not suffer. Have a Great Day! deepak

Hi Deepak! I agree with you on the point that woman face more hardships than men. They are also considered like a weaker gender and endup suffering abuses as well. A modern woman is in noway lesser than a man and possess better manegerial skills. What would be life without a woman? So value us and treat us as an equal.

I think it is society that has made women to really face extra hardships. I think many societies don't actually respect the woman and I am talking about even here in the west. Women are the ones that get pregnant and carry the children in their womb and give birth to them and the natural choice to care and nurture them after they are born. Also, naturally, they are the ones to instill discipline, morals and knowledge at the early stages. But, with all that, i think they don't get enough support to help especially in this course.

I can't fully agree with your assessment. I think it depends on the individual involved. Both women and men can go through periods of suffering. Some of what you say is true, but to say that women always suffer more than men is not always true. I don't think so at least. Not all women are mothers and some women do quite well for themselves or are married and are supported very well. Not all men have things so easy. There are men who look after their parent(s), raise their kids and have the burden of suppling the support to the family. T Some men and women make it harder on themselves as a result of their actions and choices in life.

You have stated everything so well that I honestly don't think I could add a thing to what you've said. Motherhood is definitely a full time job in itself, and women do it very efficiently and lovingly. If anyone deserves to be on the highest pay scale, it is definitely the moms of this world.

Hi there, Yes so it seems, weighing up the duties of woman and the duties of men, they just dont seem to compare. Woman bear the pain of giving birth to the baby, not too mention the pregnancy term, house work, job and family obligations, as well as mentral pains and periods, theres just so many things a woman bears and grins... Was all this due to "Eve" eating that apple or wat?...

Hi, deepak. Good point! I absolutely agree with you. Like most other myLotters said, it's a fact that women face or suffer more than men. Especially nowadays, most of women have their own jobs. They not only bear the pressure from job but also take care of the whole family after work. It's uneasy for mother to raise her children. As a daughter, I've been grown up now and try my best to help her with the housework. Hope others no matter you're daughter or son, reduce the pressure of our mother as possible as we can. What's more, it's time for us to express our love to our great mother. Wish all the mother around the world good health and a long life! Have a nice day! :) Yuan

I also agree to your views. Being a woman is more difficult than being a man.. And now a days with woman going for working and having career just like men, they are juggling between different lives. It is even more harder. But the inbuilf smartness in them makes them able to handle all these things.. It will be good if men can apreciate this.

HI,deepak.how are you?how's the life going? really a good discussion.but i don't find giving a bit extra for one's own family is anything like hardship:of course it is a bit tiring but after looking at those smiling faces of ones whom you love,i feel one forgets all exhaustion.actually my hubby is quite helpful in household chores as well as he never forgets to shower me with praises for my efforts.so i don't mind giving in extra for my family.i think that's the way women feel and think that's why they are able to carry all their responsibilities so efficiently.

Sonalika, You are very lucky, indeed that you have a very nice and helpful hubby..who shares your concern and work and always appreciates you to do better and better. Wonderful reply on your part! Have a Great Day! Deepak :) :)

yes i think woman are multitasker than man, because of the idea that they are more patient than man. Some woman, wants to prove something for themselves like they some of my friends, they have child but no daddy, they want to prove to the people around that even she is alone she can still provide for her baby. And that's why they are very strong to accomplished something good.

Yes, I agree, the modern women have dual responsibilities - as a home maker and bread earner. But they have great resilience and most manage both the roles very well.

Having a child alone is more hardship than a man will ever know or ever experience. Any guy that thinks they men have it harder than woman need a reality check. Woman, these days, do everything a man does and more!
