What is the worst thing about being male or female?

I will respond to this with a funny response. The worst thing about being female is the inablity to write your name in the snow when you have to pee. LOL. On ther serious side now, men get paid more for the same job as a woman. They get more promotions and more perks. Even if the female has more experience, the job is offered to a male. Go figure this.

I love being a female and I would have it no other way! I have had three c-sections and that sucks ... but I'm sure most women will reply that child birth stinks. So I'm going with one that is kind of off the wall ... I have a brother-in-law (not medooley) that always hands me his dirty dishes when he's done with them. We could both be standing a few feet away from the sink and he'll just hand it to me. Like he has no idea what to do with it! Though I'm sure at his house he's never had to deal with a dirty dish!

I would have to say that the worst thing about being a woman is the fact that we have to go through a period every month. I don't know about you other ladies but for me a period is a time of an emotional rollarcoaster, discomfort and often bad stomache pains.

I think the worst thing about being a male is that people assume that you know everything about computers and the internet. I know a good amount about computers and the internet but not everything.

Hey, how about night sweats, hot flashes, and having your boobs held in a vise-like machine while someone asks you to hold your breath!

the worst thing about being female, besides the period, and the birthing part, is the fact that image is a lot more important for a girl than it is for a guy. That girls are labeled ho's if they enjoy dating while guys are praised if they date alot. That girls are labeled old maides if they are old and still single and guys constantly maintain the title of bachelor.

The worst thing about being a male for me is not being able to work with children, if I was female and had the same skills and qualifications I would have been snapped up for a job straight away, but NO, because I am male working with children is out of the question. I am met with hostility and suspicion and discriminated against. I can't even have children myself, it's a lose, lose situation whichever way you look at it.

I think the worst thing about being a woman is the fact that we ALWAYS have to keep the house running . . .even if we work full time. I just don't think that's fair. Oh and the fact that we bleed for 7 days and don't die. . . WTF?!?!?!?

Being female, aside from menstrual periods, which I no longer have and do not miss since I had surgery for ovarian cysts, (talk about painful) and early menopause with hot flashes, pretty much under control now, is having to fix our hair and do the whole make up thing whenever we go out, unless you're a natural beauty. Also, childbirth sounds pretty painful, but I was never able to have kids and wanted them and that is pretty painful too. I also don't like that we have that biological clock that men do not seem to have. Men can have kids when they're 70! I don't think that a woman should have to work fulltime and then do all the housework and care for the kids. I don't like not being as physically strong as men. I'm not saying I don't enjoy being a woman and the men have their hardships as well. I think there are some jobs women could do that take more strength and are less stressfull. The women seem to get a lot of the high stress jobs. I'm happy for those women who have supportive husbands that help out with the housework and the kids, but I think they are still the minority. That's pretty much all I can think of right now, as I sit here typing and putting on make up and doing my hair.

MY personal worst thing about being female is the SERIOUSLY bad cramps. I mean, we're talkin' severe cramps here. Chills in the middle of June and puking bad. I had a few friends suggest I try birth control and I've been on it for over a year now. It's helped, but they still get pretty bad sometimes. Another thing I hate about being female is the worry of getting pregnant. I know for sure I don't ever want kids, so it's a bit worrisome for me.

Menstrating. That's my biggest complaint about being a female. Esp considering I can't have children. I figure what's the point then.

the worst think about being a male is that your girlfriend is always expects you to kill spiders. but im scared of spiders. ... sterotype!

the worst thing abt being a female is BEING FEMALE.....

Well, considering I haven't given birth yet and haven't really been "sterotyped," I'd have to say the worst thing about being female is having to deal with menstrual cramps and PMS. I've always had bad cramps, and they really, really suck!!

it's not actually what's worst, but how i wish the male can share the female's hardships during monthly period and childbirth. i.e. male suffers the pms while the female suffers the flow; the male suffers the morning sickness during conception, while the female carries the baby and handles the actual birth. sounds more fair, right? but at least we women don't worry about nor suffer E.D., lol!

I envy that guys can go to the bathroom almost anywhere without any real issues. lol I wish I could go so easily. I personally hate worrying about my female organs. I always worry something is wrong with them. ALWAYS.

I think the worse thing for mee being male is that I am expected to never show weekness. Because of where I grew up that concept was forced upon mee and it is rather second nature, but I hate the idea that I have an inability to be sensitive, nurturing, caring, etc... I hide my face in shame when I cry (which happens quite often because of my injuries/illnesses), when I get hurt I just "suck it up and be a man", heaven forbid I actually get worried/scaired since then the world would end. Oh well enough of my complaining. Thank you for a good discussion and have a great day!!

The hardest part of being a male is that you choose your girlfriend, for who she is, yet, she chose you, for 'the potential she saw in you', so she then sets about trying to change you. I mean, really, how can you improve on perfection?

I like being male, and really, I don't have any problems with it. I'll take all the good with the bad. And I would not want a girlfriend who didn't like being female - I want a girlfriend who is proud to be a girl.

for me, the worst thing about being a male is their how-can-you-spend-3-hrs-shopping-and-buy-nothing attitude towards us females yet they stayed glued to the sports channel for hours.
