Do Men Have Life Easier Than Women?

I was in a class and it stormed up a debate about women having life harder than men. People over the centuries have treated women as the lower gender. While the men always have to look all macho and look good without any effort (no offence to you guys out there). But the thing is, though people have treated women like crap over the past few years because they're built differently, they do not know that if it wern't for them being around to insult those women, they should owe credit to their mothers who made them and look back at who looked down upon them until they see a vicious cycle that wouldn't really end.
Women get their period, menopause make the kids, carry them for 9 months in them, cook, clean, and most of the labour around the house back then. I am not so sure about now other than the baby making part, period, and menopause... But I seen some guys who do cleaning, cooking, and other labour in the home too.
It's funny how us girls spend countless minutes or hours trying to make ourselves look good for the men. Some will stare, and some will not dare... Depending on the circumstances.
Women and men are build differently. And not a lot of them get treated fairly either, so can't we all just get along and think of one another as family or the other gender that we're use to being around with if you are a sexist? No offence, but I'm not too fond of the sexist people. There are some who teach at the school my brother goes to, and for some reason, some innocent boys always take the fall for what some girls done.
So the question is...
Do men have life easier than women?

You bet men have it easier. Even if husband and wife both have full time jobs, the man will come home and settle down to relax. Maybe, if everyone is lucky, he might play and interact with the kids. But it's more likely that he'll plop up his feet and watch the news. Meanwhile, wifey has to fix dinner, do the laundry, clean the house. Maybe the guy will take out the garbage. Maybe he'll rake leaves and shovel snow. But those are not things he has to do every day. The studies show that after coming home from work, most women do about 15 hours per week of housework.

I thbink my take on this is quite different than one would normally take on a topic such as this. My feelings about this are I thnink the answer lies with the individual spouse. I think you if you do not work at it can have a very hard time if you are a man or a woman but if you work together as a team one will not have it any harder than the other will. The thing is that I see going on in this world is the lack of respect a person has for what the other does in the relationship to try and make their lives better for both parties involved.

yeah.. because WOMEN experience:
1. menstrual period every month..
2. getting pregnant.. 50/50 chance of surviving the labor
3. most women stay at home to take good care of the kids, they do more housework
4. prone to deadly diseases like cancer
5. some women are being abused by men
6. menopause

50/50 chance of surviving labor? Where did you learn this? Also anyone can get cancer, including animals.

Agree men and women are made differently and women have to do a lot of work. Some even go out and work and take care of their home. But men too have a difficult life. They are considered the bread earners. They have to go out and work and afford the family. Earn for the living. Men from childhood are brought up in a way that they are the ones who have to afford the others. There are times when men have to not only afford their own family (wife,kids) but also the parents responsibilities lies with them. They have their own struggle in life like women. They have theor own share of tensions as well. SO both women and men have a life which is not easy with both having to take care of their own responsibilities. Just depends how one looks at it coz we can crib and show how much we work and sacrifice. But it works both ways.

Most men have life much easier..... like I said most. I know a lot of men that has the same responsibilities as women. They are single parents, work, attend school, cook, clean or whatever their case may be. Of coarse they are built Ford tough but so are women. It's a versitile thing now a days. Women can do what men do and women can do what men do. No one made the rules just for men. Women do take part in the most complex parts of nature which is a joy. Without men, women will not have the chance to experience their joy. Don't forget, we need the sperm to go with our eggs!
Sometimes men do get away with murder. I think that it is a conspiracy against women. I do not care for the type of men that tries to belittle women in order to make theirselves look or feel good. Instead they should make themselves appreciate the things in life such as women.

I think that sexism is more of a problem than racism, because it is more over looked, and ignored

a man he, shoulder the responsiblity he have to provide for the family with food and clothing, shoes ,doctor care he also have the responsiblity of sharing his god given wisdom with his family. men shoulder the responseiblity of caring for the children as well . things have changed a lot a lot mens want to be involved in the care of their kids.some cook when the wife is geting off late from work some men clean like women.there are some men that will not clean the house but you cant say all men do this. it,s some caring mens out there and really try to help his wife are mate.

The physical differences in men and women should be factor enough to know that men have less difficulties than women, they are more stronger(physically), can bear more hardships and they dont get calcium defeciency (as they dont give birth) so their bones are stronger and last longer than women's...
Apart from that the world is ruled by them... if women have to get themselves heard they have to prove their worth in each and every field....
Lastly it depends on the how good you are treated in your surroundings, if you are lucky enough your partner would help you and make your life easier.... cheers

i'm not with you.and you know in current world,men's stresses are much bigger than women.in my country,if one man marry a wowan,he must have his own house,this is a foundation.and you know a house worths quite a lot.so earning plenty of money is a major task.that's a really heavy stress.for a women,they don't need to worry about it.just marrys a man who owns a house is ok.that's an easy job.me ,as a boy,i'm afraid of that,perhaps i will face it sooner or later.oh,God bless me.

I do not necessarily think men have it easier in life than women. I think both sexes have their positive and negative stereotypes. Both sexes have natural bodily cycles which must be endured. In this modern day and age, many men are transitioning to otherwise traditional female tasks such as cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, etc. I believe men and women have their own equally significant problems and triumphs. I think it really depends on the situation.

Hey! Apart from physical differences which do exist I don't see any difference between men and woman . Both are equal and got the same responsibilities in life. I suppose both work equally harder to make and to be the part of the world may be their working dimensions are different sometimes.
