Who has it harder, men, or women?

Why in the world is everyone who has said both being voted down???? They are all acceptable answers. Like for real? Are you that mad that well all believe that equally all genders have it rough?

I don't think this is an easy question; the struggle of men is different to the struggle of women. Both have it equally as hard.
Women and men often have different ambitions in life, that is true, but there are difficulties that only women may face, and difficulties that only men may face.
Women are encouraged to feel beautiful and embrace their bodies, only to be told on the next page in the magazine that they should lose weight for summer.
Men are looked upon to be strong and hardy, but often they are fragile and need a lot of care.
Both sexes have it equally bad, but it also depends on where you live. In Middle-Eastern countries I do think it's fair to say that women have it worse; not being able to leave the house without a man and not being able to drive or get basic education.
Society is not about making everyone succeed, but about giving everyone the same equal chance to achieve in what they do. Women can be disadvantaged, but so can men; men are mocked for being nurses instead of doctors, among many things.
Really if you ask me, I'd say we both have it equally hard, depending on where you are.

I would say that the fact that male suicide rate is higher in every single country on Earth is an indication that men have it harder. In the U.S., for instance, a man is four times more likely to commit suicide than a woman. Sounds pretty clear to me. What better way to quantify the quality of life of a group of people than the suicide rate thereof?

Men cause you know....they get hard. But all joking aside all people in general have a hard life. It does not matter and should not matter in general. Yes males have a high suicide rate but the likelihood of a women getting raped is a lot higher than a male getting raped. Men are viewed and pressured to be masculine, women are viewed to be weak. There are so many different things going on with different genders that I think we all have it rough.

Both. People have problems. Big or small. No matter what gender. Man experience difficulties. Women experience difficulties. No one escapes any difficulties in life. How "hard" things are for them depends on how much problems they could handle as a person, not as a man/woman. You could not generalize a problems based on someone's gender. There's a huge possibility that half of the people of those gender could handle it while the other half can't. Which means that we all have it rough, be it a man or a woman.

Life of a man: get a career or be a hobo. Life of a woman: get a career or be a stay at home mom. For a woman, getting a career is a mere choice. A hobby. And if they don't get one, they can just get married, live of of their husbands money, and raise their children. For a man there is no such safety net.

Sounds like you already know the answer to your own nebulous question, why not pose it as a statement to unleash your vitriol instead?PS. Careers are only optional if they're cute. Reaaaaaal cute.

I would say both have there fair share of ups & down depending upon race, age, wealth. Men have a sense of authority, we also say He before She first, in my opinion, we value a man's opinion before a woman's in some cases. But I also feel that men have to always put on a brave face for the world they can't just be in tune with their own personal emotions it's very a "MAN-UP" world we live in, where as a woman can cry and vent very easy, woman are very in tune with their personal emotions, but this topic is very back and forth but I feel both men and women have it hard in this world. especially in today's society.

In my opinion I think girls have it harder, considering cramps and all, BUT guys go through a lot aswell. They are more subjected to public criticism if they just reveal ONE feeling. They're human too, after all.

WOMEN. WOMEN. WOMEN. Women are still fighting for equal pay in the workplace - ABSURD. Women walk the street in fear of rape every single day. Women are dying every day as a result of male on female violence, usually in the home. Women are expected to follow certain rules to be respected. Women are often denied a voice. Women are a minority when we are looking at politics. Women are scared to report sexual assaults in fear that they will be blamed. Women do not have the same privilege that men do. We are oppressed. We come from a history of oppression and although there has been great changes through history, we still have a lot of work to do.

Absurd example. Men at war. Give me a break. Read a book and learn something before speaking on a topic you have no idea about.
