Which one is easier? To be a guy or to be a girl?

I don't really believe that men or women should have set roles to be born with. It is the individual who has it harder or easier than another individual, not split between the sexes. A woman can have bigger aspirations in the working world than a man, she can be a manager of a big company and be even busier than a man, and vice versa. I think in these days you can't just generalize between men and women since there are so many societies and more human rights for everyone. Now more commonly a man and wife both share the chores of a house, and share the role of working a job.

I believe that i'm this kind of guys you said. As a man, i think, i'm responsible for earning money, communicating with other families and dealing with all kinds of problems. And what my wife should do is just living a happy life. Sure, it's just my opinion. Actually now, many couples build their family together, share happiness and woe.

Two of both are not easy.It had been stroy that role of woman only was houseworks,now woman and man are equality,woman can do all what man can do.You discovered some boss in the company are woman,they manage to big company and have a large stress as lots of male boss,woman can do well and even they often give some surprise to us.For man although they are working all day,but they go home at night and do some housework,they don't care triadition which man should not do this housework,in the modern age woman and man help each other for improving their life,they are complementary.

[i]Before, guys are the one who prefer for everything in the family, but changes took place. Most of the man works can also be done by women.There is now an equal role to play among women and men. [/i]

This is what life is. U know grass on the other side is always greener. So, to the people on the other side, our side my seem better and vice-versa ..............

Wow, to be a girl:)

I think your break down of guys roles and girl roles is rather archaic. There are many women who don't care for cleaning and would put career over having a family. If everything were equal, I think it woul be easier to be a guy. Besides the monthly thing, guys don't generally have to think about being attacked and raped. Guys are generally stronger which can come in handy sometimes. They are also more gnerally accepted in a work place with words or rumor. Being a woman though could be handy especially if you have a great pair of legs and people buy drinks for you. Being an a attractive women can be a very powerful position. Give me comfort over power anyday.

I would like to think our genders are equal and complimentary to one another. Sadly, this is not the case. There is more to gender than who does housework and one should try to remember when taking on a view of a mysoginist, women bear children, raise them, work, and are still in this archaic view by some men. It is a different way to look at the way things really are and if you love a woman you will treat her in the capacity of that love...

In reality today girs are doing dual role in the family. Most of them are working and contribute part of their income. When they are at home they have to do houseworks and taking care of the house. So, to answer your question, I should say nowadays girls have more responsibilities compared to guys.

Yenwie, Don't you think that is an old fashioned point of view? Even though I agree with you, we shouldn't be thinking that way in this day and age. Women are no longer just supposed to be taking care of the family. It's supposed to be a shared task. Women are now expected to work too. The roles are supposed to have changed so that both men and women do the same tasks equally. That means men are supposed to share in taking care of the housework, helping with the kids and going to work just the same as women.

They are hard in different ways,and in different jobs.

i think both have their own roles.there's no definite whichever one is easier. No doubt, there are tasks that beyond girls capabilities. But, same thing, men are not all perfect that know how to do everything. I think God is fair.

I think in this day and age gender roles have really been torn apart. Its to much of a generalization to say a guy takes care of the family and builds up a career when theres many women who do the same thing and vice versa. Although I hate to stereotype this, I will give my personal opinion in regards to your question: I will say in a building a relationship guys have it much harder with having to spend a lot of money and work hard as the girl basically judges him. I think women have it harder in other situations because they often set high standards for what they want. Guys on the other hand often go with "getting by," and don't fuss over little things like matching colors or decorative pillows. Theres exceptions to all of these obviously.

in my opinion guys have the easier role, they work but so do girls they build up a career but so do girls on top of that most girls have to do housework too

this need not be questioned...duh... it's way easier to be a guy because..guys don't give birth,they don't milk their babies, they don't get menstruations monthly ... and they don't have menopause... so guys should be thankful and be extra nice to ladies because we sacrifice all of this for humanity

Personally, the only thing that makes life easier for women is that they get to put 'make-up' on,when they are looking bedraggled ,after a hard day at the office, then coming home to the screaming kids and nagging husband. Nothing like a little lipstick to brighten a face after a hard day. But if you want the list of equality between men and women... Women get cramps, have to bleed, women give birth to men...women learn early on, to juggle three or more things at once. And they take a lot of sh*t from men, who are misogynistic, territorial, start wars and think they own the turf; and we have men that have the ability to handle many roles; as they cook, clean,care for the kids, do the bills, yet, can't when they are tired: put on lipstick, and high heels so they can look pretty for the women. Men, depending on how they were raised by MAMA, have the pressure of bringing home the Best Bacon they can so they can win over that amazing woman.they are taught to do so; Without letting it all out, by showing feelings, such as crying when they have a boss who is a big A-Hole. They are always told: don't be a sissy... Don't cry...don't show your cards...Man-up! Be Strong...Aren't you a Man? Well then Be a man! I think in this day and age it would be different; but somewhere deep down inside, we have those archaic urges....and all of us dream of fulfilling that ROLE, whether it be male or female. Even if you are Gay, there are defined Roles from what I can see in my Gay buddies...one is the wife, one is the husband. so let's start the Men get to wear MAKE_UP so they can cover their blemishes!and feel sexy when the day wears them down...what do you think? I really think Pink is your color! Stella

I think to be a guy easier. They do not need to worry certain diseases. Some more they do not need to face the uncomfort for every month. Guys do not need to give birth to the babies. But they will have some problems too. They need to afford the family, but nowadays, the female wil work to help out. Conclusion I still feel that guys are more easier.

It's easier to be girl. Although the responsibility is both heavy, girl still few feet away from guys duty.

hi friend i am agree with you that man has more responsibility than man in terms of family,social,economical responsibility etc. being women is i think is easier if you dont do anything in your life and if you are good looking then your job is done.

i think it doesn't really matter which one is to be easier, whether to be a guy or a girl. in reality today, everybody share the same task in life, same responsibility and even the same role in the society. but in daily life and when it comes on the way they live, to be a girl is more complicated. they need to decide on everything, pick up little things and go crossroads before getting to their main point. from the shampoo they will use to the color of their dress to which way they go, they need to take and pick their choice. all these things made it fun to be a woman
