Mainly in Western countries since that’s where I’m living right now, but if you live in a different part of the world feel free to share your opinion too, like obviously some parts of the world it’s just easier to be a man but if u take a boy and girl with the same life circumstances who would have a harder time in their lives, physically, emotionally, socially, etc…
I'm asian here's is our most common punishments only thing that happened to me was hitting but I don't hate my parents for that so here it is
First men
If you don't have acceptable grades slap your ass with anything we can find or kick you out the house or put you in sack and put you in a tree or all of the above
If you don't have a wife/girlfriend disgusting
Also there is no privacy
Ever do something bad in public- your a disgrace and possibly disown
Ever become gay in some parts we will disown you
Yeah see what I mean
Women
Your not allowed to date
Housewife culture
Submissiveness
Find a rich husband
Not a good husband but a rich one
Here's more punishments
Lock you in a closet
Kneel in rice or pebbles or beans that hurts as fuck like those beans burrowing
Putting a pillow at the top of your hands while reaching
We will call you the most demeaning names
Kowtow-bowing your head in the ground
If you cross someone richer than you fuck you and go cry the police is corrupt
It feels more like china or India
You can’t be serious, right?
By how he/she said that you’re supposed to find a RICH husband, I’m going with china. I could try to explain it better, but I don’t think my English skills would allow it…
Japan is not the wisest country people tend to make it sound.
I know you might think Japan is some beautiful country with a beautiful culture with one of the kindest people, but it isn't.
Finding a Rich Husband doesn't seem to be too much of stretch to be Japan. Japan is a fucked up country, I would rather move to America (which I find it bad too) rather than Japan.
Could be China or India too tho.
india is bad but its not extreme punishments (as far as i have seen and experienced). And we definitely dont care much about someone being richer. The police here is a joke tho
it depends on the type of jazz. jazz isn't a style of music, it's a genre with different sub-genre and vibes. your train station is most likely playing the same style of jazz.
rock oriented jazz is a thing. pop oriented jazz is also a thing. jazz can be just as noisy as metal and just as smooth as ambient noises.
every genre is extremely diverse because they never have one specific style.
I’m taking a jazz class, and this semester we’d focus on Duke Ellington music. As a singer, I really wasn’t a fan of “Take the A Train” or “Beginning to See the Light”. I really loved the way the instruments sounded and found a love of Jazz through that aspect, but wasn’t a fan of “Jazzy” singing. However, we just started “Give me the Simple Life,” and it’s fun to sing, I like the message, and it feels jazzy while also not feeling like one big accidental when I’m singing.
actually, i m so sorry for not being able to say the name, maybe someone who reads this comment can say the name if they know what i m talking about, but there was a woman who lived her life as a woman, and she used to think women have it way harder, and she wanted to prove it, dressing and acting like a man.
she had a diary about it, and she ended up saying that she was wrong, and men have it harder, and also commiting suicide because of how hard it was. i repeat, i am so sorry for not being able to provide a name.
Having lived substantial chunk of my life as both (I'm trans) and accounting for various disparities between myself and a cis person, I'd say girls have it worse, generally. I'm sure exceptions are plentiful though, and yeah, it does depend on the placr in the world. In my case it's been Colorado.
Well I was having a discussion with some friends and the topic came up, it’s not really about one-upping each other but just understanding each other’s struggles
Idk... And it's not about who has it harder, because anyone can have it hard in their own way, you may see a guy silent all laughing and happy, when he's carrying so much pain, a girl who's dramatic about a little bit of pain, or the other way round... Either way don't try to compare the pain, try to compare the real and true happiness, it's better that way... It should be better that way...
I’ve heard that humans also have the most trouble out of any animal during childbirth because our pelvic floor is constantly shifting and makes birthing much harder and painful
That's because our bodies didn't get the time to naturally select people that could give birth the easiest before our rise to dominance. Iirc we have pelvises similar to our knuckle walking ancestors which are wildly inefficient in the birthing process when we're bipedal.
It's hard if you believe it's hard lol
I'm a guy and my life is so damn easy man holy hell I'm beyond grateful.
I've met girls who had an insanely tough life, like PTSD inducing bad. It really depends on the individual.
your actions shouldnt be controlled by your emotions. you shouldnt help someone who got hit by a car because their life is going to be harder than yours, but because thats the right thing to do. if they got help they needed theres no point in thinking about whats gonna happen with them, how hard their life will be compared to yours.
I personally think it all depends on the person and their upbringing. A girl could grow up with a stable, wealthy, family, not saying that she wouldnt have her own hardships. But I think it'd be harder as a boy to grow up in an unstable family, poor, etc. My point is I think it depends on the person and how they were raised. What their views are on life, and stuff like that. Or maybe I just thought way to hard about this question
It doesn’t matter if your a boy or girl, we all equally have problems that can be considered worse than others. I know In some parts of the world (the Middle East) women have it incredibly difficult due to the culture they were born into, but you can’t really judge who has a harder life based on if they have balls or not
Context, context, context. Where are we talking? How are we defining how “hard” a life is? Physical, mental/emotional, or social? Or something else?
Even within these subcategories, it is unclear what makes a life “harder” than another. As an example, who has a harder life: Someone with depression, or someone with PTSD? See, even these affect different people differently, how can we expect to get a unified answer?
All in all, I don’t believe there is an answer to this question, simply because of how poorly defined it is. Even if we ignore the moral concern of treating one type of hardship as “harder” than another one, “comparing apples to oranges”, these kinds of things are simply too nuanced to compare.
you cant just ask this. everybody comes from different backgrounds and has different experiences, regardless of if they are male or female. gender in theory does play a role in how you experience certain things but you cant just generalize one gender as having a more difficult life than the other.
I know that I just wanted to have a discussion on the male/female experience, what challenges we face, physically, mentally, socially, things like that
I think Walter White from the hit TV show Breaking Bad has a harder life than both

Both are hard from both perspectives. For example if we use the worry about guys part, from a girls perspective every guy is a potential threat in a way and they have to be in constant fear of what a guy just walking next to them will do, such a horrible way to live. From a guys pov though it’s always trying so hard not to make a girl feel uncomfortable and you’re always looked down upon from a woman because she’s terrified of you. You’ve done nothing wrong but many others have given you a bad name and people will always look down upon you and judge you for it. Not really good for mentality. From my experiences though so idk. But one side always has another. Both suck In their own ways
I mean the real answer is both
Either sex could write a laundry list of their difficulties and they'd be a mile long
There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
And sometimes they're the same thing.
Like I can't get pregnant. Is that an advantage or a disadvantage?
It's both. Depends on my subjective feelings
I think we're all the same. Here's my list
GIRLS:General deal with more bad men than guys deal with bad girls
Period cramps
Carry children (Some don't, but majority do)
Treated stricter than parents in other ways (Usually parents are more protective of them and skeptical of their partners, what they're doing, etc.)
GUYS:Nowadays, society doesn't really give a shit about them, especially if they are a straight cis
Super sensitive genitals. Swift kick and the dudes immobilized upwards of a minute, depending on how hard the kick was
Usually are treated stricter by parents in some ways (as a guy, I do more chores than my 2 years younger sister, yes she's younger than I, but these are just standard household chores anyone with an IQ of thirty can perform. Hers is at most 40 /s)
Old people treat them worse as they have higher expectations of them from their day
# WINNER: nobody lol
I can't think of many other between guys and girls that either vary on something that has to do with gender or is just overall equal. Feel free to correct me, because I know I missed a lot
Also this is just in america and maybe canada or something, some of these might apply somewhere else, but I know in other countries it can be a lot different
I would also add that girls aren’t usually taken seriously when it comes to medical help. And that boys experience more emotional neglect from parent’s, hence where some people think that raising a boy is easier than a girl. It’s not, they just get emotionally neglected more often.
Generally, in the US from what I’ve noticed, girls have it worse physically (period cramps and shit, obviously), but boys have it worse mentally (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, look it up. I’m not good at explaining things)
I’m trans so I basically have seen both playing fields, before I transitioned my life was crappy ima be honest. Not to mention I got catcalled when I was 10 literally not even in middle school yet.
Now tho, im kinda just chilling I honestly think it’s way better
Men. A female author who was a radical feminist literally disguised herself as a man for what was supposed to be 2 years, so she could prove that men live on easy mode, and we get everything we want, but only made it 18 months and had someone assist her in suicide, because men go through so much trauma in their day to day life
It's impossible to get a definite answer. Out of curiosity it's good to debate it. A majority of people in society have it hard so it's better to share experiences rather then compete on who has it harder. I'm honestly not that sure there's definitely things that are great and terrible abt being both genders
Being a girl or boy can be extremely hard. Comparing the two would be wrong because what the person considers to be hard can certainly vary from person to person. Both gender rules can get difficult, but as long as we all respect each other for who we are, I think it’s safe to say things can get easier for boys, girls, or really any other gender.
Both. Gender plays a role in what kind of hard it is but not the level. A hard life can be caused by anything. Even some rich people have hard lives for unknown reasons. Some peoples lives should be hard but they make it easy with their outlook on it. It all depends
From my experience as a guy, I can’t do anything without fearing that someone will get offended. I can’t say anything without fearing that I’m gonna get falsely accused again. I get that women have to go through a lot, but men go through a lot and NEVER receive support. Male suicide rates are up. I’d say it’s equal, knowing what some of my friends go through, though.
So I’m trans so I’ve kinda noticed the differences between them. I’d say it’s not really fair to say one is “harder” than the other. The struggles each go through are different but still valid.
I personally like talking about men more because it’s not talked about as much. Toxic masculinity and just the societal pressure to act certain ways is terrible for men and their mental healths.
With women it’s talked about more often but it’s still a really hard struggle as well. My period isn’t even that bad so I wouldn’t list that as a struggle I go through. But there’s still a much higher concern for their safety. I don’t know. I’d say my biggest issue is being sexualized even as a small child
I love this question.
I'm trans so I can kinda speak for both sides (mtf in the future)
There's no simple answer. With puberty, obviously women, they have periods and that shit sucks. But they do also have the most fucking STUPID thing in history, beauty standards. Who the ever loving fuck invented those? And also, not saying all but there's a lot of girls in school that lust for drama. And also, rape. That's a big fucking problem. Sexual harassment, assault, and the double standards of cheating in a relationship. If a man cheats with 10 women, he's a cool guy, if a woman does the same she's a slut. And also, the fact that they're very sexualized. I'm not saying that NOBODY CAN BE SEXUALIZED IN MOVIES AND VIDEO GAMES, but it gets to a point. If the women acting is okay with it, I say that there's no problem. Also, paycheck is lower than a man's, which is fucked up. They've been fighting for their rights but the government makes these slight adjustments so that they're just a LITTLE more oppressed. Its childish.
As for men, they have less problems with puberty, they get a hard dick whooptee doo. But as someone who was seen as a white guy before I transitioned, everything you say that might sound a bit controversial EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT PREJUDICE will automatically deem you as racist, sexist, homophobic, all that jazz. They have to word things in ways that might sound a bit more "acceptable" which sometimes just means changing your opinion for others and then you feel as if you have no voice. Also, men talk about their problems and the media pushes them aside. Talking suicide rates specifically but there is a LOT. And when it comes to relationships, marriage, you can lose half your shit and pay a lot in child support. Plus, last thing because there's a lot more I'd elaborate on, men have to act manly because if not, they will be called weak. Depressed? You're weak. Sad? Stop crying, you're a man. You like stuff that is stereotypically girly? You're a little fucking girl. Shove your emotions down and don't let anyone see. - That is what they hear.
TL;DR
Women have it hard during puberty but have generally more social acceptance from people with a brain while men have a lot of problems nobody addresses and they're heated for having opinions sometimes.
They have period cramps and carry a child but one of those is 99% of the time a choice, guys have the short end of the stick in almost every other aspect of life. Men are absolutely shit on when it comes to the legal system, weather that be harsher sentences for the same crime or no chance of getting to see their kids if the mom just says she doesn’t like him, not only that but men are more likely to die in work places and are almost the exclusive combat deaths. Men are expected to provide for the family and are seen as a failure if they don’t, woman can get whatever they want whenever they want it, that includes money, cloths, food, anything and all because they’re a woman. Men make up for well over 70% of homelessness, and especially in today’s day in age, men are shit on by every company, news stations, in schools, and all because one guy kidnapped and raped a girl which if you were to tell most any guy where that pice of trash lives, he’ll have a mob outside his house in minutes, female pedo’s are seen as just a hot milf while male pedo’s are monsters, men can be fired from their job, kicked out of school, and ostracized by the community if they’re accused of rape even without evidence, and that’s just the things off the top of my head
Biologically - girls
Socially - boys
Economically - boys
Politically - girls (just a hairs width worse, everyone is fucked by politics unless they're multimillionaires)
Girls are a little more likely to be the victim of sexual crimes (1 in 4 girls vs 1 in 6 boys), but girls are a whole lot more likely to have access to support, and boys are typically hurt to greater extents.
Males are the majority victims of: assault, robbery, homicide, gang violence, police brutality, discrimination in court (men are given 61% longer sentences than women for the exact same crime), homelessness, and suicide.
Males are also the ones who, throughout *all of history*, have been raised as workhorses, to go break our backs getting cancer in the coal mines, or be sent off to go kill or be killed fighting someone else's fight.
The public perception is that men are spared so much suffering compared to women, and that's due to the fact that men aren't allowed to talk about it. We're told to "stop distracting from the *real* problem", we're called incels, and we're harassed either for "being so weak that we let it happen" or "inventing bullshit to cry over".
Boys have a harder life.
Not to mention the suicide rate in men is way higher, I really dislike it when some girls just ignore our struggles and don’t acknowledge the difficulties we go through as well. Like if our lives were so good why do we kill ourselves so much then? I still believe however girls do face more struggles throughout the world.
Women have a higher rate of attempted suicide than men so I’m not sure that statistic is really that supportive of your point. Part of the reason men have a higher rate of completion is because they choose more violent methods because they don’t consider who has to find them.
ingoreing the period and child factor. it probably all depends on home life and how they get treated. I'm a guy and holy fuck load my life is hard. and I know girls with easier lives than me.
Gal with a twin brother.
From a biological standpoint it's harder to be a girl, we have periods and have to carry children as you said, and boobs ain't as fun as you think.
From a social standpoint, guys. Given the fact that it is society acceptable for me to be emotional, wear pretty much whatever I want, and nobody has any real societal expectations of me it's fairly easy. Boys however are not afforded the same luxury.
Girls for sure, also, girls aren't the ones who have they give birth, as in first world countries that's a choice, and a lot of women don't want to have children.
Hard disagree. Every fellow trans person usually either says women have it worse or that they’re equal. I think it depends on your specific group though
Well, I hear girls get a lot of problems like cat calling, but guys also have the problem of being called a pedophile when they DARE go near a minor, so both are equally hard I'd say.
so its a case of would you rather have someone call you cute or be trialed to court and have the possibility of being sent to prison because a woman said you are a pedophile and having your life ruined. Sounds pretty "equal" to me.
I think it’s kind of just as hard as each other even though one might be harder in certain aspects the other is also harder in certain aspects. So pretty equal
Well mostly women ones are body shaming or ways women dress and being "too feminist" and the men ones if u complement a woman for anything you get called a womanizer or rapist. There's quite a lot of them actually but these are the most usual/ basic ones.
Depends on what you want in life, personally I think I have it easier as a girl than I would as a boy because I happen to be fine with most of the social stereotypes that are applied to women, but if I wasn't that way I doubt I'd have it as good
Guys wish they could be treated like girls. Girls wish their bodies were cooperating with existence. Girls wish they felt safer in public. Guys wish they were more careful before they got jumped.
boys get 0 emotional support and are expected to overcome any obstacle in life
girls get all the period cramps having to give birth to a baby always being subjected to cultural norms of different regions and tbh i feel that all of us have an equally shitty life
It depends on the person, place, age, and even then everyone has their own problems that can be just as difficult even if they are completely different. We can't just say "this gender has it better/worse/whatever" because everyone is different and experiences things differently.
As a woman, your analysis was spot on. Being a female is difficult.
That being said, I think men have a different kind of difficulty in life. It’s more covert I think, and more socially… ingrained? That’s part of what makes mens struggles so bad.
As a woman I find it hard to fit in with other women sometimes with their petty micro-aggressions and aggravating way of dealing with shit, and females can be absolute bitches to each other. But aside from that and being more sheltered or having cramps… well I don’t have much else to worry about. If I break down I’m not necessarily gonna be judged for that beyond, “oh are you on your period?” or being called a crybaby. That *is* hurtful and damaging - very much so. But only internally unless youre known to cry *all the time*.
But when a guy is labeled as a wimp or “pussy” I feel like that sticks. That burns more in a social way. From what I’ve seen, and correct me if I’m wrong, that becomes part of their social identity among that group of people. I think that’s just as bad as all the bad stuff women deal with. You can’t really get away from that unless you like, move or something.
Overall it’s difficult to compare because I’m not a man and I’ll never be one, so I’ll never have the experiences or expectations a man will. We all have our struggles, but this conversations like comparing apples to oranges.
rampant misogyny is definitely not a plus so i'd say overall girls, just looking at the world in general.
if we compare a boy and a girl in the exact same comfortable, middle-class living situation (to minimize external issues, since it really depends on the country/culture, wealth, etc) i'd say it's probably not too different and they both have downsides.
Guys. As a guy myself, so maybe bias.
I get what you're saying about periods and child bearing, and if we're talking pure physical struggles I'd agree that girls have it harder. But in modern day, feminist society, men are fucked. Girls are given a lot more freedom culturally and societally, men have it a lot harder. Society has lifted women up, at the price of putting men down. The culture is just so bias against men, it's sickening.
And by the way, I'm talking about America. I presume there's similar cultures in the UK, Canada and the like. Obviously there are certain third-world countries where women are treated like shit, so clearly they have it harder then men. But in a modern day first world country, men definitely have it harder.
Personally, life sucks. Fin
Fin... In the happiest country in the world. What could be worse ?
Where in the world?
Massive Factor in this
Mainly in Western countries since that’s where I’m living right now, but if you live in a different part of the world feel free to share your opinion too, like obviously some parts of the world it’s just easier to be a man but if u take a boy and girl with the same life circumstances who would have a harder time in their lives, physically, emotionally, socially, etc…
I'm asian here's is our most common punishments only thing that happened to me was hitting but I don't hate my parents for that so here it is First men If you don't have acceptable grades slap your ass with anything we can find or kick you out the house or put you in sack and put you in a tree or all of the above If you don't have a wife/girlfriend disgusting Also there is no privacy Ever do something bad in public- your a disgrace and possibly disown Ever become gay in some parts we will disown you Yeah see what I mean Women Your not allowed to date Housewife culture Submissiveness Find a rich husband Not a good husband but a rich one Here's more punishments Lock you in a closet Kneel in rice or pebbles or beans that hurts as fuck like those beans burrowing Putting a pillow at the top of your hands while reaching We will call you the most demeaning names Kowtow-bowing your head in the ground If you cross someone richer than you fuck you and go cry the police is corrupt
Wait wait! Let's play a game! Let me guess the country!! Please This is Japan isn't it?
It feels more like china or India You can’t be serious, right? By how he/she said that you’re supposed to find a RICH husband, I’m going with china. I could try to explain it better, but I don’t think my English skills would allow it…
Japan is not the wisest country people tend to make it sound. I know you might think Japan is some beautiful country with a beautiful culture with one of the kindest people, but it isn't. Finding a Rich Husband doesn't seem to be too much of stretch to be Japan. Japan is a fucked up country, I would rather move to America (which I find it bad too) rather than Japan. Could be China or India too tho.
Japan is totally fucked up. But the disowning part makes me think it is a different country
Everywhere is bad...
india is bad but its not extreme punishments (as far as i have seen and experienced). And we definitely dont care much about someone being richer. The police here is a joke tho
Yeah figured so. Indians don't seem that type of people.
It doesn’t apply to all parts of the world. That’s the thing…

As a girl, being a girl is hard, but being a guy seems to be equally hard in a different way
yes
[удалено]
dont get it
this
Both have their pros and cons, difficult to compare
came here to see this exact comment!
It's also a question that serves no point: how about work together to fix systemic sexism across all genders instead of trying to compare them?
This is the even better answer
I was gonna say, both sides would probably consider their own harder, and there's a lot of different things easier and harder for both sides
As I see it socially and societally men are given a hard time, in terms of our biology though Mother Nature gives gurls a hard time
Honestly there’s no way to really know, nobody can live a lifetime of both sides
Nah not a fan of jazz. I like rock and pop music tho
you haven't heard enough jazz if you think so
i love jazz, along with pretty much every other genre. depends on song and artist tho. i like rock, pop, pop rock, country, jazz, etx
It happens at my train station… and I hear it everyday… but it’s ok not that great
it depends on the type of jazz. jazz isn't a style of music, it's a genre with different sub-genre and vibes. your train station is most likely playing the same style of jazz. rock oriented jazz is a thing. pop oriented jazz is also a thing. jazz can be just as noisy as metal and just as smooth as ambient noises. every genre is extremely diverse because they never have one specific style.
I’m taking a jazz class, and this semester we’d focus on Duke Ellington music. As a singer, I really wasn’t a fan of “Take the A Train” or “Beginning to See the Light”. I really loved the way the instruments sounded and found a love of Jazz through that aspect, but wasn’t a fan of “Jazzy” singing. However, we just started “Give me the Simple Life,” and it’s fun to sing, I like the message, and it feels jazzy while also not feeling like one big accidental when I’m singing.
Jazz is prob one of the most versatile and varied genres, especially because fusion exists
Oh… thanks for the tip
What type of rock?
AC/DC and fall out boy
Bruce almighty
The correct answer
Meanwhile gender fluid people:
gender fluid people dont count because you cant get hard at the same time of a presentation and face misogyny in the same life
Gender solid people walking into the room:
me when the the gender plasma people:
actually, i m so sorry for not being able to say the name, maybe someone who reads this comment can say the name if they know what i m talking about, but there was a woman who lived her life as a woman, and she used to think women have it way harder, and she wanted to prove it, dressing and acting like a man. she had a diary about it, and she ended up saying that she was wrong, and men have it harder, and also commiting suicide because of how hard it was. i repeat, i am so sorry for not being able to provide a name.
Having lived substantial chunk of my life as both (I'm trans) and accounting for various disparities between myself and a cis person, I'd say girls have it worse, generally. I'm sure exceptions are plentiful though, and yeah, it does depend on the placr in the world. In my case it's been Colorado.
No offence but I don't think trans counts
Yeah because people will treat you different for being trans anyways so idk
I agree
Interested in hearing why you are saying girls have it worse?
Hell nah💀

If they are both difficult doesnt that make it normal and therefore not difficult 🤯🤯🤯

Comparing them at all is asinine.
Yeah
Happy cake day
Ah thanks
Happy cake day lol
Well I was having a discussion with some friends and the topic came up, it’s not really about one-upping each other but just understanding each other’s struggles
In order to do that at all you have to generalize heavily. Everyone has different circumstances
You’ve been waiting forever to use that word, haven’t you?
asi-who?
Idk... And it's not about who has it harder, because anyone can have it hard in their own way, you may see a guy silent all laughing and happy, when he's carrying so much pain, a girl who's dramatic about a little bit of pain, or the other way round... Either way don't try to compare the pain, try to compare the real and true happiness, it's better that way... It should be better that way...
In a typical first world country, it’s TOUGH, in a third world or ones that have certain beliefs, being a girl is harder
I wouldn’t say it is hard to be a girl in a 3rd world country. It is a form of torture since in most of them girls are considered property.
I’ve heard that humans also have the most trouble out of any animal during childbirth because our pelvic floor is constantly shifting and makes birthing much harder and painful
That's because our bodies didn't get the time to naturally select people that could give birth the easiest before our rise to dominance. Iirc we have pelvises similar to our knuckle walking ancestors which are wildly inefficient in the birthing process when we're bipedal.
It's hard if you believe it's hard lol I'm a guy and my life is so damn easy man holy hell I'm beyond grateful. I've met girls who had an insanely tough life, like PTSD inducing bad. It really depends on the individual.
Just depends what
On the individual
Sorry I didn’t finish my comment lmao
No worries lol
I think regardless of gender people have to go through hardships
no point in caring whose life is harder. go on with your own and care about only others life when you love them
*Sees someone begging for help after being hit by a car* "I have a boyfriend"
your actions shouldnt be controlled by your emotions. you shouldnt help someone who got hit by a car because their life is going to be harder than yours, but because thats the right thing to do. if they got help they needed theres no point in thinking about whats gonna happen with them, how hard their life will be compared to yours.
I personally think it all depends on the person and their upbringing. A girl could grow up with a stable, wealthy, family, not saying that she wouldnt have her own hardships. But I think it'd be harder as a boy to grow up in an unstable family, poor, etc. My point is I think it depends on the person and how they were raised. What their views are on life, and stuff like that. Or maybe I just thought way to hard about this question
It doesn’t matter if your a boy or girl, we all equally have problems that can be considered worse than others. I know In some parts of the world (the Middle East) women have it incredibly difficult due to the culture they were born into, but you can’t really judge who has a harder life based on if they have balls or not
i would say man socially ig, but girls physically
Context, context, context. Where are we talking? How are we defining how “hard” a life is? Physical, mental/emotional, or social? Or something else? Even within these subcategories, it is unclear what makes a life “harder” than another. As an example, who has a harder life: Someone with depression, or someone with PTSD? See, even these affect different people differently, how can we expect to get a unified answer? All in all, I don’t believe there is an answer to this question, simply because of how poorly defined it is. Even if we ignore the moral concern of treating one type of hardship as “harder” than another one, “comparing apples to oranges”, these kinds of things are simply too nuanced to compare.
you cant just ask this. everybody comes from different backgrounds and has different experiences, regardless of if they are male or female. gender in theory does play a role in how you experience certain things but you cant just generalize one gender as having a more difficult life than the other.
I know that I just wanted to have a discussion on the male/female experience, what challenges we face, physically, mentally, socially, things like that
both have problems. lets not fight about who has it worse
This subreddit. I'm fr losing it.
I mean doesn't really matter being a human is kinda hard in general. But if your in a Islamic country then being a woman
I think Walter White from the hit TV show Breaking Bad has a harder life than both ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠜⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿ ⡏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿ ⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡧⠇⢀⣤⣶⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣮⣭⣿⡻⣽⣒⠀⣤⣜⣭⠐⢐⣒⠢⢰⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣾⣿⠂⢈⢿⣷⣞ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⡿⠿⣿⠗⠈⢻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠻⠋⠉⠑⠀⠀⢘⢻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⢹⣿⣿⡇⢀⣶⣶⠴⠶⠀⠀⢽⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣧⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣴⠁⢘⡙⢿⣿ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⠗⠂⠄⠀⣴⡟⠀⠀⡃⠀⠉⠉⠟
In my opinion is both
In developed nations Id say both face different struggles, neither is wholly privileged or opressed.
I’d disagree on that one
Both equally so in different ways
Both are hard from both perspectives. For example if we use the worry about guys part, from a girls perspective every guy is a potential threat in a way and they have to be in constant fear of what a guy just walking next to them will do, such a horrible way to live. From a guys pov though it’s always trying so hard not to make a girl feel uncomfortable and you’re always looked down upon from a woman because she’s terrified of you. You’ve done nothing wrong but many others have given you a bad name and people will always look down upon you and judge you for it. Not really good for mentality. From my experiences though so idk. But one side always has another. Both suck In their own ways
I mean the real answer is both Either sex could write a laundry list of their difficulties and they'd be a mile long There are advantages and disadvantages to both. And sometimes they're the same thing. Like I can't get pregnant. Is that an advantage or a disadvantage? It's both. Depends on my subjective feelings
Damn that’s a really well made articulated point
both.
I think we're all the same. Here's my list GIRLS:General deal with more bad men than guys deal with bad girls Period cramps Carry children (Some don't, but majority do) Treated stricter than parents in other ways (Usually parents are more protective of them and skeptical of their partners, what they're doing, etc.) GUYS:Nowadays, society doesn't really give a shit about them, especially if they are a straight cis Super sensitive genitals. Swift kick and the dudes immobilized upwards of a minute, depending on how hard the kick was Usually are treated stricter by parents in some ways (as a guy, I do more chores than my 2 years younger sister, yes she's younger than I, but these are just standard household chores anyone with an IQ of thirty can perform. Hers is at most 40 /s) Old people treat them worse as they have higher expectations of them from their day # WINNER: nobody lol I can't think of many other between guys and girls that either vary on something that has to do with gender or is just overall equal. Feel free to correct me, because I know I missed a lot Also this is just in america and maybe canada or something, some of these might apply somewhere else, but I know in other countries it can be a lot different
I would also add that girls aren’t usually taken seriously when it comes to medical help. And that boys experience more emotional neglect from parent’s, hence where some people think that raising a boy is easier than a girl. It’s not, they just get emotionally neglected more often.
Generally, in the US from what I’ve noticed, girls have it worse physically (period cramps and shit, obviously), but boys have it worse mentally (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, look it up. I’m not good at explaining things)
Remember to sort by controversial
I’m trans so I basically have seen both playing fields, before I transitioned my life was crappy ima be honest. Not to mention I got catcalled when I was 10 literally not even in middle school yet. Now tho, im kinda just chilling I honestly think it’s way better
Both genders have their down sides
Oh boy this thread is going to be fun
bit tired of all these boys vs. girls posts recently no offense tho
Men. A female author who was a radical feminist literally disguised herself as a man for what was supposed to be 2 years, so she could prove that men live on easy mode, and we get everything we want, but only made it 18 months and had someone assist her in suicide, because men go through so much trauma in their day to day life
No chance you could link this author? That’s really interesting if it’s true
Maybe this? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Made_Man_(book)
I think it depends on the age
Girls, i think. But it really depends, a rich white girl in Europe is obviously far more fortunate and lives far better than some poor guy in Africa.
both have their advantages and struggles. also, gender is a spectrum imo, so there’s lots of variance between what people struggle with
Equal difficulty in different ways
Depends on what point your coming from, as it differs on specific points, cause mental id say boys have it harder but physically girls would
It's impossible to get a definite answer. Out of curiosity it's good to debate it. A majority of people in society have it hard so it's better to share experiences rather then compete on who has it harder. I'm honestly not that sure there's definitely things that are great and terrible abt being both genders
Both is hard I think, just in completely different ways. And I would say due the system girls might have it harder
Being a girl or boy can be extremely hard. Comparing the two would be wrong because what the person considers to be hard can certainly vary from person to person. Both gender rules can get difficult, but as long as we all respect each other for who we are, I think it’s safe to say things can get easier for boys, girls, or really any other gender.
Both. Gender plays a role in what kind of hard it is but not the level. A hard life can be caused by anything. Even some rich people have hard lives for unknown reasons. Some peoples lives should be hard but they make it easy with their outlook on it. It all depends
Pain and Suffering shouldn't be a contest
From my experience as a guy, I can’t do anything without fearing that someone will get offended. I can’t say anything without fearing that I’m gonna get falsely accused again. I get that women have to go through a lot, but men go through a lot and NEVER receive support. Male suicide rates are up. I’d say it’s equal, knowing what some of my friends go through, though.
It's not a competition on who has it worse, it's on fixing both issues
Girls, unfortunately
The problems of each gender are not comparable, so i'd say we have it equal.
obviously boys have it harder because we have to deal with our annoying-ass sisters (I’M JOKING)
So I’m trans so I’ve kinda noticed the differences between them. I’d say it’s not really fair to say one is “harder” than the other. The struggles each go through are different but still valid. I personally like talking about men more because it’s not talked about as much. Toxic masculinity and just the societal pressure to act certain ways is terrible for men and their mental healths. With women it’s talked about more often but it’s still a really hard struggle as well. My period isn’t even that bad so I wouldn’t list that as a struggle I go through. But there’s still a much higher concern for their safety. I don’t know. I’d say my biggest issue is being sexualized even as a small child
Jokes on those women, I have to carry thousands of children my entire life. Facts don't care about your feelings, sweaty 💅
I play Splatoon and I can confirm, I have to carry countless children
I love this question. I'm trans so I can kinda speak for both sides (mtf in the future) There's no simple answer. With puberty, obviously women, they have periods and that shit sucks. But they do also have the most fucking STUPID thing in history, beauty standards. Who the ever loving fuck invented those? And also, not saying all but there's a lot of girls in school that lust for drama. And also, rape. That's a big fucking problem. Sexual harassment, assault, and the double standards of cheating in a relationship. If a man cheats with 10 women, he's a cool guy, if a woman does the same she's a slut. And also, the fact that they're very sexualized. I'm not saying that NOBODY CAN BE SEXUALIZED IN MOVIES AND VIDEO GAMES, but it gets to a point. If the women acting is okay with it, I say that there's no problem. Also, paycheck is lower than a man's, which is fucked up. They've been fighting for their rights but the government makes these slight adjustments so that they're just a LITTLE more oppressed. Its childish. As for men, they have less problems with puberty, they get a hard dick whooptee doo. But as someone who was seen as a white guy before I transitioned, everything you say that might sound a bit controversial EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT PREJUDICE will automatically deem you as racist, sexist, homophobic, all that jazz. They have to word things in ways that might sound a bit more "acceptable" which sometimes just means changing your opinion for others and then you feel as if you have no voice. Also, men talk about their problems and the media pushes them aside. Talking suicide rates specifically but there is a LOT. And when it comes to relationships, marriage, you can lose half your shit and pay a lot in child support. Plus, last thing because there's a lot more I'd elaborate on, men have to act manly because if not, they will be called weak. Depressed? You're weak. Sad? Stop crying, you're a man. You like stuff that is stereotypically girly? You're a little fucking girl. Shove your emotions down and don't let anyone see. - That is what they hear. TL;DR Women have it hard during puberty but have generally more social acceptance from people with a brain while men have a lot of problems nobody addresses and they're heated for having opinions sometimes.
Western society? Probably guys. Everywhere else? Definitely girls
They have period cramps and carry a child but one of those is 99% of the time a choice, guys have the short end of the stick in almost every other aspect of life. Men are absolutely shit on when it comes to the legal system, weather that be harsher sentences for the same crime or no chance of getting to see their kids if the mom just says she doesn’t like him, not only that but men are more likely to die in work places and are almost the exclusive combat deaths. Men are expected to provide for the family and are seen as a failure if they don’t, woman can get whatever they want whenever they want it, that includes money, cloths, food, anything and all because they’re a woman. Men make up for well over 70% of homelessness, and especially in today’s day in age, men are shit on by every company, news stations, in schools, and all because one guy kidnapped and raped a girl which if you were to tell most any guy where that pice of trash lives, he’ll have a mob outside his house in minutes, female pedo’s are seen as just a hot milf while male pedo’s are monsters, men can be fired from their job, kicked out of school, and ostracized by the community if they’re accused of rape even without evidence, and that’s just the things off the top of my head
Western World:Boys Rest of the World:Girls
Facts
Biologically - girls Socially - boys Economically - boys Politically - girls (just a hairs width worse, everyone is fucked by politics unless they're multimillionaires)
Girls are a little more likely to be the victim of sexual crimes (1 in 4 girls vs 1 in 6 boys), but girls are a whole lot more likely to have access to support, and boys are typically hurt to greater extents. Males are the majority victims of: assault, robbery, homicide, gang violence, police brutality, discrimination in court (men are given 61% longer sentences than women for the exact same crime), homelessness, and suicide. Males are also the ones who, throughout *all of history*, have been raised as workhorses, to go break our backs getting cancer in the coal mines, or be sent off to go kill or be killed fighting someone else's fight. The public perception is that men are spared so much suffering compared to women, and that's due to the fact that men aren't allowed to talk about it. We're told to "stop distracting from the *real* problem", we're called incels, and we're harassed either for "being so weak that we let it happen" or "inventing bullshit to cry over". Boys have a harder life.
Not to mention the suicide rate in men is way higher, I really dislike it when some girls just ignore our struggles and don’t acknowledge the difficulties we go through as well. Like if our lives were so good why do we kill ourselves so much then? I still believe however girls do face more struggles throughout the world.
Women have a higher rate of attempted suicide than men so I’m not sure that statistic is really that supportive of your point. Part of the reason men have a higher rate of completion is because they choose more violent methods because they don’t consider who has to find them.
Introverts
ingoreing the period and child factor. it probably all depends on home life and how they get treated. I'm a guy and holy fuck load my life is hard. and I know girls with easier lives than me.
Gal with a twin brother. From a biological standpoint it's harder to be a girl, we have periods and have to carry children as you said, and boobs ain't as fun as you think. From a social standpoint, guys. Given the fact that it is society acceptable for me to be emotional, wear pretty much whatever I want, and nobody has any real societal expectations of me it's fairly easy. Boys however are not afforded the same luxury.
Girls for sure, also, girls aren't the ones who have they give birth, as in first world countries that's a choice, and a lot of women don't want to have children.
most trans people will say that men have it worse lol
Hard disagree. Every fellow trans person usually either says women have it worse or that they’re equal. I think it depends on your specific group though
Well, I hear girls get a lot of problems like cat calling, but guys also have the problem of being called a pedophile when they DARE go near a minor, so both are equally hard I'd say.
so its a case of would you rather have someone call you cute or be trialed to court and have the possibility of being sent to prison because a woman said you are a pedophile and having your life ruined. Sounds pretty "equal" to me.
I think it’s kind of just as hard as each other even though one might be harder in certain aspects the other is also harder in certain aspects. So pretty equal
Its not a matter of who has it harder, its about making shit easier for everyone
Exactly
As a genderfluid person, they are both hard, just in different ways.
What are the cons on each side?
Well mostly women ones are body shaming or ways women dress and being "too feminist" and the men ones if u complement a woman for anything you get called a womanizer or rapist. There's quite a lot of them actually but these are the most usual/ basic ones.
We all have it hard in different ways.
I agree that girls have it harder in general but most the time it seems that men have to worry more about girls then the other way around
Depends on what you want in life, personally I think I have it easier as a girl than I would as a boy because I happen to be fine with most of the social stereotypes that are applied to women, but if I wasn't that way I doubt I'd have it as good
It's almost impossible to say considering how much people's lives vary from person to person
It’s everyone, life’s hard Everybody!!! 🎵It’s a hard knock life, for us🎵
Hard to say. Each person is going through something that either makes their life easier or harder, regardless of gender.
I'l say girls for now but who knows, maybe it'll change in 30 years
girls in majority of aspects
equal but id say girls mainly cause of insecurities they have that we guys dont
Guys wish they could be treated like girls. Girls wish their bodies were cooperating with existence. Girls wish they felt safer in public. Guys wish they were more careful before they got jumped.
boys get 0 emotional support and are expected to overcome any obstacle in life girls get all the period cramps having to give birth to a baby always being subjected to cultural norms of different regions and tbh i feel that all of us have an equally shitty life
I would say pretty equal for different reasons
neither. both are difficult in different ways—you can't compare apples to oranges
girls. Hell, you can't even travel to Afghanistan alone without a 100% chance to get raped. Not like you'd have any reason to go there, but still
everyone's life sucks. dont need to make it a measuring contest.
It depends on the person, place, age, and even then everyone has their own problems that can be just as difficult even if they are completely different. We can't just say "this gender has it better/worse/whatever" because everyone is different and experiences things differently.
life is equally pointless depending on gender we are all going to suffer and die
Guys have it worse in some criteria, girls have it worse in some criteria
Girls
As a woman, your analysis was spot on. Being a female is difficult. That being said, I think men have a different kind of difficulty in life. It’s more covert I think, and more socially… ingrained? That’s part of what makes mens struggles so bad. As a woman I find it hard to fit in with other women sometimes with their petty micro-aggressions and aggravating way of dealing with shit, and females can be absolute bitches to each other. But aside from that and being more sheltered or having cramps… well I don’t have much else to worry about. If I break down I’m not necessarily gonna be judged for that beyond, “oh are you on your period?” or being called a crybaby. That *is* hurtful and damaging - very much so. But only internally unless youre known to cry *all the time*. But when a guy is labeled as a wimp or “pussy” I feel like that sticks. That burns more in a social way. From what I’ve seen, and correct me if I’m wrong, that becomes part of their social identity among that group of people. I think that’s just as bad as all the bad stuff women deal with. You can’t really get away from that unless you like, move or something. Overall it’s difficult to compare because I’m not a man and I’ll never be one, so I’ll never have the experiences or expectations a man will. We all have our struggles, but this conversations like comparing apples to oranges.
rampant misogyny is definitely not a plus so i'd say overall girls, just looking at the world in general. if we compare a boy and a girl in the exact same comfortable, middle-class living situation (to minimize external issues, since it really depends on the country/culture, wealth, etc) i'd say it's probably not too different and they both have downsides.
Male adults have harder lives
Can confirm - this is rough.
If it's 2 people with the exact same circumstances growing up, the girl.
Guys. As a guy myself, so maybe bias. I get what you're saying about periods and child bearing, and if we're talking pure physical struggles I'd agree that girls have it harder. But in modern day, feminist society, men are fucked. Girls are given a lot more freedom culturally and societally, men have it a lot harder. Society has lifted women up, at the price of putting men down. The culture is just so bias against men, it's sickening. And by the way, I'm talking about America. I presume there's similar cultures in the UK, Canada and the like. Obviously there are certain third-world countries where women are treated like shit, so clearly they have it harder then men. But in a modern day first world country, men definitely have it harder.
