This is li'l kimmy and I just want to know who you think has it better. Personally, I think boys have it better because they don't have to go through half the things we do. I think they're the lucky ones.
I think your right!
i don't know. personaly i think boys have to go through me becaus i think they are always loaded with more stress than girls and they are bery moody sometimes
No, I think it does not depend on the gender how much stress you have. I agree, boys have it better. They have more chances for jobs, still, even if they say that it's equalized now.
I agree with you there Kimmy but gays boy is like girls!!!!
Crap Gay boys are like Gay boys...
In Scotland the lads have a far harder time, they are taught from a young age to be tough and to control their emotions, imagine doing that as a passionate teenager... they are also conditioned to keep their concerns private, thhis outdated and very damaging way of thinking, has led to Scotland having the unenviable honour of the highest rate of male teenage suicides in Europe...
It's equal in it's own right.
this is a very general question though isn't it? i mean when you say who has it better what exactly do you mean? physically? mentally? emotionally? are you talking about job opportunities?
Other people have already alluded to the fact that men have better employment options though i'm not sure that i'd completely agree with that! we certainly don't live in a perfect world this is true but great strides have been made toward equal opportunities for women! especially in the work place. anyway if you are really having a big downer on men then perhaps you should ask yourself this question, as bad as things seem for you now, just imagine how you'd be treated if you lived in asia or africa! so far as opportunities go it really is all a question of perspective!
if you are referring to the difficulties that are encountered when growing up then i'd have to refer you to goblins post above. true to say that women do have to put up with a lot more physically than men do. obviously i've never had a period but from what i've been told! they don't come highly recommended! how ever emotionally lads do have it a lot harder than i think a lot of people actually realize! almost from the day that you are born you are told, for example, only girls cry! stuff like that. in effect young lads have it drilled into them that the correct way to handle yourself threw life is to bottle things up inside you! never talk! show is little expression of feeling as you can! we're told that this is brave and manly! goblin is right though! it is seriously unhealthy!
being honest? given a straight choice? i'd always choose to be a guy! on the hole i'd have to agree with the general consensus that us fellas have it easy than you girls! but don't think we have it all our own way because that's simply not true!
does it really matter in the end? personally it don't matter what jender, what class, what country but, it does matter what your like. life is what you make it. okay not all the time i'll agree but, if you try and make it good it will be. ya know that bloke once said "life is like a box of chocolate, ya don't know what ya gunna get" i agree.
Hey it all depends on the situation. I was taking psychology last sem and I found out lots of things about gender. It was stated in the book that a guys brain is organized in to compartments and a girls brain is everywhere. As an example a guy can really be focus on doing one thing and a girl can multi task. Lets make this easier to understand. You can not sometimes desturb a guy when his in front of a computer doing his work, there are going to be times that he wont hear you, because his mind is well focused to what his doing. In the other hand a girl can multi task like use the phone, type in the keyboard and listen to music at the same time. There s lots of advantages and disadvantages in being a girl or a guy. It just really depends on the person to how they handle it. Me I’m really happy being a girl. No prob.
well, its all good and well this topic. But, come on, just because girls have to have periods and push out babies, us guys gotta put up with it. lol. no, i think that sometimes, from my experiences, that girls dont realise how much guys have to go through and how much sometimes they have it better. but i tell ya one thing, there is nothing wrong with falling in love with a girl.
Well of course they have their problems, too. Sure. I think, maybe physically girls have it better, but that might be different mentally or emotionally.
sorry but think boys have it better for a reason i wont discuss here lol sorry girls
I think we have our equal stuff, I thought girls hd just as bad of moodswings as boys, and I guess there are more things we have to watch out for in the teenage stage...but I'm not a guy so I wouldn't know...at least last time I checked I wasn't.
I'd like to see a guy have a period, be pregnant, have a baby, worry as a teen about pregnancy. I mean, Yes, I suppose guys have it harder emotionally but we definetly have it harder physically and mentally for women are always seen as the weak ones, the powerless ones and we have to proove ourselves just as men feel they must. Women do put up with alot. I'd like to see a man spend one month as a woman.
defietnly guys have it easier
Um yeah in this case guys have it better. I agree. Men have it better anyways - I mean, even though we have equality now. it's still sometimes that case that men work and women stay at home and have children.

Guys definetely have it better and easier than women! This has been true throughout the centuries, as lets face it... women have had to fight for the so called 'equality' today, whereas guys were given it on a plate! The right to vote for example, working in certain jobs, pay etc... women have had to fight for what we get today throughout the course of history. And yet, although things are much better these days, there is still ineqiality in many things. So guys have life much better in that respect. Also as many people have already mentioned, guys have no childbirth or periods to deal with! And their response is always the same, 'so what?, it's not that bad'. Well, let us think, once a month from the ages of about 11 until late 40s, periods. The pain, which can be like someone running your uterus through a mangel, monthly. Not to mention emotions all over the place, being hysterical for no reason. And let's not forget, the added expense of sanitary products! And let's face it... we earn less! Yet you expect me to believe that men have it no easier than women? pffff, yeah right! Then there's the 9 months of childbirth, pain and discomfort. Then the process itself... I'd love to see a bloke squeezing something the size of a melon from such a small opening! Not to mention having to recover from all that, get your figure back etc, whilst caring for a baby! And men don't have it easier? Yeah, right! So as far as I can see... and I don't see my mind changing from any other opinions, men have it far easier and better than women! I would say though, women have it far better in terms of multiple orgasms! When we all know that men can only get it up a limited amount of times a night! I'll conceede defeat there!
Women wouldn't usually have to go to war and risk there lives and die being hacked to bits by soldiers or blown to bits by machine guns or artilliry shells or all the other ways to die in war. Women also triditionally have longer lives then men, so in spite of the bleading and giving birth, I think Women have it better. Also White men are the ones getting screwed now in the US. by affermative action so I'm not going to cry about inequality.
Once again... blindguy, your point merely illustrates the fact that men have it better! Yes men go to war, but nowadays, generally it is a choice, and generally, they are prefered over the women who want to fight for their country! So guys have it better, as they don't have to fight hammer and tongs just to be accepted! And as for it just being bleading and giving birth... WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS! Let me see you give birth, or deal with periods monthly! You make it sound so cut and dry, when any woman will tell you it's anything but! Come on ladies, you must agree with me?!
I think guys have it better. And as for all the emotional stuff that some of the men on here talk about, I think it is a bunch of lies. Honestly, I think the women have to deal with more emotional stuff than a guy does, guys, if they really wanted to, could technically have the world as their oyster, but yeah.
Women to guys are nothing but a playtoy, or a piece of meat.
To all the dudes who have posted to this topic, I respect your opinions. But personally, I think that guys have it better all the way around. Infact, they've had it better since the beginning of time. In my opinion, we weren't a whole lot; the only thing we were good for was have babies and raising them for whatever purpose. We couldn't do certain jobs, such as becoming a surgeon, we couldn't vote, nor could we be seen in public. Oh and when it comes to emotions, you boys do have it better. Whenever we release our emotions we have to have a huge chocolate bar and a gallon of ice cream by ourside to make them go away. You guys can sdrink a six pack of beer and call it a day. Shoot! After us women get through eating all of that stuff we're still not through releasing our emotions. So hears to the guys.
guys definitely have it better. Let a guy have cramps.
I bet if they went through that sort of thing, they'd act worse than us. Watch them give birth; boy that would be hilarious. Actually, I've seen that happen in a science fiction movie called "Junior." Anyway, that's totally beside the point. That was just a movie. Imagine what it would be like if that happened for real.
I want to be a man for a day, that would be cool, I wonder how good I would look. lol.
I couldn't imagine being a guy for one day. But if that were to ever happen, it would be great! It would take a lot of the load off me. lol
Yeah, boys definitely have it better. They can do whatever they want and get away with it (well, not literally, but they can act any way they want) and girls are under constant pressure to be delicate and innocent.
I agree with that.
I must say I agree with Dan on this one. Us guys are told not to have emotions. I'm an efectionit person and don't think its turbly wrong to hug a guy neither. Doesn't mean your gay. Now I normally don't because I sense that most guys are weirded out by it so I don't. The slam back hard thing is cool at times, but I prefer something a lil softer then slamm. Now if two women meet its perfectly okay to hug and that. Sure women have it physicaly a lot harder then us but they have it easier in a bar too. Free drinks on da house, no cover. I think also women can whare more comfortable clothing too, or at least ccooler clothing if not barely any clothe at all and it is acceptable in the US. Let's see. Mocho guys are the norm, in fact I think if you are not mocho then it is harder to fit in with buds. Sure women love you but yeah. What else, I think being gay is not as well excepted in the US as being lesbein. Just some points I thought of off the top of my head. John
I like being a woman, and I don't know what it's like to be a man, so I can't have an opinion. If someone feels sorry for themselves just because they have to have periods, too bad, but remember without them you wouldn't even have a choice on whether to have children or not, and no, I don't really like them either. as for equal opportunities, well, there still are matriarchal societies, wonder how man are feeling in those.
I think it's about the same. Both are human, so I don't give a damn.
Wow, I just found this topic again and wanted to expand on what I said before. I still have the same opinion--guys have it a lot easier! A girl is almost told to feel bad about herself if she doesn't look like a model. But guys can be respected no matter what they look like! Look at Michael Jackson. I'm sure most of us don't agree with what he did, but as far as his influence on the pop scene and what not, everybody respected him at the time, and his appearance isn't exactly macho. And if you're a football player, that's OK too! But even if a girl is slightly overweight, she's criticized by other women and guys won't date her! Well, this isn't true as people get older but as teenagers women are faced with a lot more insecurity issues than men are! As for the part about expressing emotions, think about this: who is normally the abusive partner in a relationship? The man. Well, no abuse should be going on at all, but the point is that when a woman is in an abusive relationship, she often just accepts it and stays. Why? Because the anger, violence and aggression of it is seen as the way guys act. Guys are always more aggressive than girls. And if a girl does dare to express a hint of anger, she's looked down on for it, or is called a bitch or is told she has PMS! So girls have to hold in their emotions just as much as, if not more so, than guys do! So don't be so quick to say that girls can cry when they want to, because in today's society that really is not true.
wow that was some deep shat
Lol, I'll take that as a compliment.
Bullshit. girls bitch, wine and they get it. don't get me started, please. don't even make me bring up the countless times young boys have been raped and mutilation they go through that is never spoken. girls get their own shows about being sexually asalted and get all the attention. i don't feel one bit sorry for them. don't hand me that shit boys have it better.
My point still stands about abuse. There probably are women who are abusers, but you just don't hear about it. I'm looking over this topic, and my perspectives of it. While I've matured a whole lot over the past 2 years, I still believe that when men want to be pissed off, they show it and no one questions it at all. As soon as a woman does the same thing, they blame hormonal responses. I don't think saying a man has rational reasons to be aggressive, such as "oh that's the way they're wired" is a good enough excuse, while women's anger and jealousy is just dismissed by our time of the month or some such bullshit. I've experienced it enough to know, and I see how some people will get wrapped around a guy's finger, doing whatever he wants just to hold off his jealousy.
yeah ok. thats why women don't get put on tv for be abusive, because society is programmed to think women are supposed to be worshiped. besides we aren't talking about men or women we're talking about boys or girls. in this context, there is no comparison because they really haven't developed so it is amongst themselves that they argue who is better. I could go on for hours how women jsut beg for attention and get it all the time. boys are raped, oh, don't worry about it. a girl/woman is raped, oh my, it's all over the news help help help. I won't lift a finger for women who are like that. you got raped, that was your decision for looking so appaling. that isn't to say the guys who rape the women aren't scum bags, because they are and should be locked up forever. same thought goes for boys. If men get plastered all over the news then women should be as well. how many butches who work out and go around kicking ass get plastered on the news? none. or at least none that I've seen. so don't hand me that shit post 37, you're only speaking because you feel women just are the most glorious thing god ever did create when in point of fact we're all human and no one is better than another person and by teh news and media altering reality I'll just stand back and let it happen, but I will do what I have to to kick rapists asses, including those religious asshole scumbags who play with little boys. oh and did I mention that some parents who actually let this happen to their boys know it's going on? oh and did I mention that it's done in exchange for monitary favors? yeah. so shut your face. those who dress as skank whores ought to be raped you're just asking for it. My heart goes out to those boys. little girls as well because they're young and helpless and can't do anything same as a young little boy. but as you get older it is still the boys who never get attention.
