I always tell my boyfriend, "Imagine that you are as worthwhile as every other human being. You're smart, you try to do the right thing, and are generally a good person. Now, imagine that despite all of this, very few people take your opinion seriously. You are labeled as emotional whether you are or not. You are expected to know how to cook and clean, and if you don't want to have kids you're called "selfish" and "dumb". For one week every month everything you do and say is discounted because you are "PMS-ing". Then you get to bleed for a week while experiencing pain that leaves you curled into a ball screaming and crying, hoping that it will stop, taking four pills an hour to keep from going to the emergency room, all for the reward of squeezing a basketball-sized baby through a hole the size of a quarter for twelve hours- and even through all this there's no guarantee that you're going to have an orgasm."
I'm not saying that men don't have it difficult too, but that gets him to shut up when he goes off on his mildly sexist "women have it so easy" rants. :)

Men and women are different. The differences are many and varied and include hormones, emotions, values and ideals, just to name a few. Volumes have been written about these differences and yet, men still do not understand women and vice versa. The best thing to do is accept that there are differences and that he will not understand and neither will you, but you will each appreciate and tolerate the other's characteristics just as it has been and always will be throughout the ages.

There really isn't. Tell him child birth is like stretching his bottom lip over his head, cramps feel like sgueezing and pushing in your stomach all at the same time. Let him know that if someone hit our boobs hard enough it feels like where they get kicked!
