It is no more difficult for a female to become a woman than it is for a male to become a man. She was MADE to be a woman. He was MADE to be a man. It is a natural process. If you are asking who has the harder role in life, or who has the most responsibilities, that can be debated, but because the roles are different and the responsibilities are different, there can be no real comparison between the two. In our culture at least, I think most women would be thankful they are women, just as most men would be thankful they are men. I know women in some cultures are treated badly and have a lesser place in society, so if I was a woman in some cultures, I might feel differently.

agree! being a woman takes a lot of responsibilities, like for example we have to take care of our reputation or people will judge us. I mean, if girls are called to be a player it's like a taboo, unlike guys who are players are ok. guys doesn't mind going out in the house without washing their face or comb their hair, but girls wouldn't dare to do that. in marriage alone, if a marriage falls it usually blames the women/wife who isn't doing her duties that's why the marriage fails...or if the children grew up to be wayward, they blame it to the mothers. just frustrating, but it does.

Hi there, Men or women, you have to be one to carry on the generation. Noe me, being a male myself feel that I am happy as I am and I have asked many women if they were happy as women some said yes and some no but the average is women are happy as they are women. Even I would be happy if I were born female.

I think to some extent.woman has more resposibilities than man.she has to take care of her children and family members.she is more careful than man.to some extent ,she is lucky than man.no one will blame woman if she rely on her husband.but if man rely on woman(wife) ,it seems unusual(strange).

It is truly hard to be a woman. Though nowadays we are allowed to have a career of our own we are still expected by society to fit the stereotype of good woman at home. We are still bound by expectations by a male dominated society. In Asia for instance, although women are starting to go out of their homes and are working at offices now, when they get home they are still expected to do all the household chores. They still have to serve the family like they haven't worked out all day. Working women with children are the ones always blamed for the disintegration of family values. Because it is supposed to be the women of the family responsible for instilling good morals. So they practically have dual roles in the family and still don't get the respect that they deserve.
