What's easier--being a man, being a woman? Why?

No sweetie, tell me one between the two. You can do it. You are good at analyzing and discussing things about life etc.. Come on sweetie

Okay. It seems to be easier to be a man as they can do whatever the hell they want and treat everyone just as they like. Most of them think they are God's gift to women and we should just follow and obey. Sorry for them, though. They are barking up the wrong freaking trees these days.

Now you can agree with me, meluan.

I believe women are expected to make just as many sacrifices as men. In fact if a woman doesn't make a sacrifice for their man or their children people look at them as if they are selfish and uncaring. I do feel both have a hard time nowadays though, as society just expects more of us than we can give sometimes.

hi, kjones, men are hunters and this is really a good point. Hunter's life is risky and tough as you pointed out. Good points from you. Tammytwo, I do agree women are also contributing a lot to the family.

hi, derek, I agree with you that both genders have their own struggles and challenges. It's a bit hard to say who is leading a tougher life. It depends on individual too.

hi, paula, nice to hear that from you. I agree with you that both men and women are facing lots of problems in life, may be the problems are different for them but still bot gender struggle a lot these days to run a family.

So you want to go neutral miya03, right? Yes, some Mylotters have the same views as you have on this topic.It depends on individual too. I agree with you.

I think you are telling it's easier to be men, right? I know that in your country both men and women work and earn money and share financial matters between them. Of course women will feel overburdened. It's tougher to be a working woman.

Kala, you are different and always supported men while responding these types of discussions. I also admire women for their love, caring quality and motherhood.I praise women and you men, so both are GOOD.

Thank you. It is the sense of fairness in me that comes to play when I respond to such discussons Vijayanth. I always feel guilty that I have not given as much credit to my father as my mother. My father was an excellent human being but I was always partial to my mother.But, luckily htis element of fairness was present even in my youth. My partiality to my mother was caused by some other reasons. As I am becoming advanced in years, the inherent sense of fairnes comes to the forefront. But, both genders have their share of difficulties; I still feel that motherhood is an extraordinary gift given by the Almighty to women. THis makes up for the difficulties they face in life. Many people may not agree; but I think that way. As you had jokingly remarked 'you men' so am I referred to in my own house.I do think a lot like a man many times in spite of having all womanly complications.

I am so happy and overwhelmed to see your love and respect for your dad. He must have had enjoyed your love to the full. It will be so nice to have daughter like you. But unfortunately many people don't respect their parents these days. They don't have the due respect for them.Fortunately in may family all are good. I hope this trend will continue in my family in future as well.

hi, salonga, you have made a good point here. Yes, we can do our duties as men and women without bothering about gender difference. Nice to note you are doing your duty as a woman.

yes, RawBill, we have a lot of physical advantages over women. We don't need to be scared of unwanted pregnancy.Some things are easier for men.

hi, mercedlegurpa you are right I also think it's easier to be a man than a woman.It's also true that Some men when they're away from home are prone to womanizing. Women have many responsibilities at home.

well said johnpillai. I fully agree with you. May be life was a little easier when women had to take care of the homes alone. now it's definitely tougher for women as they have to work outside home too.

hi, silverking, nice you have come up with man's difficulties. I sometimes think about these things as you do. Well, it's difficult to say what's easier, being a man or woman.

hahaha, that's nice and funny.Men have to undergo delivery stresses every year? Both have their own plus and minus points as you rightly pointed out.Still I think it's easier to be men,

Of course for every business man

Once you start earning by greed the trouble starts.When you want to make more money than you require the trouble begins.You have to find means and methods to hoard the excess money and when you earn more no one will be ready to pay more tax and the problem of black money and fear of Incometax department probe ...so on so forth.Unless the yearly Incometax ssessment is completed smoothly the tension grows and results in higher blood pressure.Is it not yearly delivery for men?....

yes, SinRealm many think so. I also have the same view as you do.

hi, indahfth, so you choose to be neutral on this matter. that is so great of you.

true,indahfth,

Every person alive has its own difficulties. Men and women also have their own difficulties.

I agree... women is equal to men in respect and honour.. but both have diff levels.. and issues... there are un equalities in diff aspects...

so you choose to stand neutral, right? maezee? I do respect your views.Every one has their own views on this topic.thanks for sharing your views.

Jai dear It's true both gender are having their own plus and minus points.it depends on your life too. If as a man I have to take care of too many things both inside and outside home I would think being a man is tougher. Same with woman too. mel, agree??

dear anna, yes,same thing with me,as i am a double character to my kids (a mom and dad) so i can say that,being a woman is tougher than being a man (becoz of my situation) So then,who can say that a woman can't be equally strong like man in terms of physical

ah, dear. You are talking of a woman who was born yesterday.:) Motherhood is a joy, as well as fatherhood, isn't it, dear? but most of the times, women are left doing the parenthood alone...:( Vijay, who said that staying at home is a stress free life? It is stressful and more tiring than what men do outside.At home, there's the laundry, dishes, cooking and practically the whole house to take care of, not to mention the children. These require a lot of energy and strength from us. Patience, too. I beg to disagree that we do have less responsibilities than men have.We are responsible for everything, Vijay, even augmenting the budget so that our dear husband will not feel he's not providing well for his family.This is mind blowing especially with things sky rocketing too fast.It is not easy to be responsible for someone else's life and future (kids'). Everything is on our hands... Even that, dear, isn't easy, I mean accessorizing.:) You see, men can be plain, taking you less hours to finish dressing up and you're good to go but for women it takes longer time....The heck with hair, make up, accessories, etc.LOL You see, being a man is a lot easier than being a woman, plus, it is even made far more lighter because we, women, are there to always back you up, guys.:)

hahahaha good points dear,

yes, I think the same sunnycool.

If you consider all the womanly stuff you had mentioned in your post then being a man is certainly easier

I admire your humor behind your pains as a singe mom. I am happy you are such a strong single mom. I know you are working hard to make money online. Yes, you are hardworkinggurland that is what I like in you friend.
