am i too hard on women?

Question

I feel like women have it too easy in life. Now before you grill me for being anti-women, hear me out. It is true that women can argue..."We have to always be on guard while walking down the street." But the thing that kills the argument that "women have it harder than men" is that a good looking woman can expect a man to support, and pamper her for her entire life, where a man can not expect to be "given" anything. Men fall all over themselves for women, and try to impress them (even when theyre married to one) by buying them gifts. (most) Men are expected to provide by working stressful jobs to meet deadlines, while the (most) women are expected to make everything at home look good. This seems like an unfair trade to me. Women, please dont bring up the physical pain thing from childbirth or pms. Women will never know the pain of getting a concussion from playing football or getting checked in hockey, or kicked in the groin, so dont even bring that tired argument up.

Answer 1

i fell on a pole an it hit me in the groin that hurt an im a girl XD! girls can do sports dude. altho as far as "who has it easier" i think its pretty darn even. u know what they say "a womans work never ends" i think if u really wanted to do all the housework and she goes to work she would b happy to oblidge.
folks could go on an on about whats fairer for who, its easier for guys to have an organsim ya kno but in the overall skeme its pretty even mr.

Answer 2

I think it's a perfect arrangement.
One person in the relationship takes care of the family and provides financially. The other person cooks, cleans, takes care of the house, looks after the kids, etc.

Have you ever REALLY cleaned a house before? It's actually a lot of work (physical work). It's a lot easier to sit behind a desk and get paid to punch a keyboard.

Have you ever cooked a meal, for that matter?
I think you're underestimating the amount of work involved in being a homemaker/mother/wife.
The truth is - someone needs to stay home and do all the domestic stuff. Sometimes it's the husband, but usually it's the woman.
It's also more economic for the husband to be the provider - on average, men are paid 30% (???) more than women in the workforce.

Why can't we use childbirth as an agruement ?
It is, after all, a valid arguement.
Re sports injuries - are you serious ???
It hurts JUST AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE for women to get hit in the groin.
By the way: do you have any idea how much it hurts to get hit in the breast with a ball ?
WE HAVE THREE AREAS TO LOOK OUT FOR! MEN ONLY HAVE ONE!

In regards to your comment "a good looking woman can expect a man to support, and pamper her for her entire life, where a man can not expect to be "given" anything"
That is a ridiculous statement.
As I said earlier, someone needs to do the domestic chores. And most women do not expect or EVEN WANT to be pampered for their entire life. It's only the self-absorbed airheads that think that way.
And the man DOES get something out of it - a wife, a friend, a lover, a meal on the table when they get home from work, a clean house, someone to wash their smelly clothes! the list goes on....

Personally, I love working! If i get married and have children I always plan to work, at least part time.

You need to seriously change your attitude about women - the question you posted makes you sound like a total !d!ot.

I feel sorry for the woman who ends up with you.

Answer 3

Who, indeed, has it harder?

Men do work hard for women. No argument. Does a man work harder than a woman? Well, I say it depends upon the man or the woman.

I'll bet you can name hard-working people of both sexes. I'll also stick my neck out and bet that you can name some lazy louts of both sexes.

I'm going to hazard a guess that you, personally, have broken your back, and maybe your heart, over a woman who took your efforts for granted. That's bitter, but it does happen.

I'm sure we can agree that the ideal is a man and a woman working together for a common goal, whether it's running a bed & breakfast, or raising a family. When people work shoulder-to-shoulder, they share the load, and no one has it easier than the other.

By the way, I had to smile at your comparison of sports injuries to childbirth; from the standpoint of what is gained by either activity, you are comparing apples and radial tires. I can't think of anyone, not even me, who would equate a football goal with an infant son.

One last point: don't place too much stock in what a woman gains by beauty. Beauty doesn't last; besides, I haven't met a man yet who felt a woman's looks *alone* were enough to make a good match.

Oh, and, one last point: in this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch; women are not routinely handed everything they desire for no good reason, and to believe that is to believe in Santa Claus. It's just not true, sweetie.

"Women will never know the pain of getting a concussion from playing football or getting checked in hockey, or kicked in the groin"? Well, I have gotten 4 concussions and have been checked numerous times, but not into the boards, into the post. I am a 13 year old female goalie on an all guys' hockey team. Try having cramps during your championship game, and win it. Most of the stuff I cannot say anything to, yet. But with the whole sports thing, you had better believe that I can come up with a good arguement. Wanna try?????? Please do, I have not had a good arguement in days...

Answer 5

you are to hard on most women. It seems as though you are looking at the 50's and 60's version of a women, and what you see in the movies. there are more men than there have ever been staying home with the children and taking the easier side as you say. By the way that is not the easier side. In fact I am the one working and taking care of my family and my husband is the one home with our kids. I know it is not easy on him. There are also more single parents in the US, mostly women that work and take care of the house.

I think you should look at a few of these things before you make that judgment, even for most like you say. I can understand if you said that 30 years ago. But my mother was a single mother from about 1980 on. How many people that have been born since the 70's on can say that....many. I was even a single mother for a few years myself.
I am not trying to bash you, I am just trying to inform you. maybe you should look at these things differently and tell you friends that think like you.
Blessed Be

Answer 6

If men could do what women could do then this wouldn't be an issue. But men don't have the necessary parts for childbirth and so women are left to do this. Men treat women like precious things, doting on them, taking care of them, because they are the vessel in which their child will grow, they are the person who will nurture their child and feed their child from their body. It's amazing what women can do, and I think men are awed by it.

It's also biological. If you look to other animal species with a similar social structure as humans you'll see that women are the choosers because they have the largest investment. They only produce a certain amount of eggs for a certain amount of time. So men must compete for the women, and the women will chose which man will get to impregnate her. Conversely, in animals societies where the male as the larger investment, like the seahorse whose male carries around the egg sack with the babies in it until they hatch, the male is the chooser because he has the largest investment in offspring.

It also seems that a lot of the time women are being cheated on, ditched, beaten, and killed by men as well as those who are being "pampered" their whole lives. I have a feeling most women are slaving in the kitchen, running around after the kids, and taking care of the house. Would you rather the women play football and hockey and the men did the child rearing? It's not how we were designed biologically.

"Women will never know the pain of getting a concussion from playing football or getting checked in hockey, or kicked in the groin, so dont even bring that tired argument up."

Women are quite capable of playing sports and encountering the aformentioned.

You need to understand that everyone has their faults and attributes. Men can be seen as selfish or giving, lazy or productive. Women likewise. Many cultures belittle women or set social expectations of them. I don't think its fair that a guy can shave his head and take a 5 minute shower and a girl will say he looks good. Do you know how long it takes me to shower? Almost 45 minutes. And unlike ye, who can easily masturbate whilst standing, I'm actually taking a shower. Shave different areas. Hair. Clean under my nails. Exfoliate skin. Wash skin. Lotion. ... then hairstyle (when I used to give a damn.)

I know you have it hard too. Everyone does. But don't dare say women have it easy.

Answer 8

Okay... and what about the women who nature wasn't so kind to as to make them "good looking" (as perceived by men)? And how can you dare to even begin to compare childbirth to playing football or hockey? Childbirth is necessary to the perpetuation of the species, while men choose to play those violent games in which they incur brain damage. (Or maybe that came first, instead of being a result.) There are plenty of women who work outside the home and make just as much money as their husbands, or more, and then come home and take care of things there, too. Your arguments are worse than simplistic.

Answer 9

Women have it a lot harder than men, especially after they age a bit, have kids, and the man leaves them stranded to take care of the kids alone. Many of these women have not been in the work force and now must learn a trade or skill. More women are murdered and raped in our society than men. Many women also work stressful jobs and also have to deal with sexual harassment on the job. A man can live on the street (if it really comes down to that) more safely than a woman can. Give women the respect they deserve.

Answer 10

Your actually wrong-ish...
It seems like woman get attention right?more then guys get from girls? Well, Girls are shy.. (and i hate that..) but when it come to being a fan girl, They fall head over heels. Guys pamper girls, but most of the time girls FIGHT for guys. I've seen that to many times.It dosen't happen often, but its true.It may seem unfair that guys seem to work while the woman stay home, but after years and years... I'd get tired.. Dead tired of that!I'd rather be working, but i guess since people say guys are the leader, girls have to stay back and hang loose.My friend plays football.. and i have a couple other that got hurt in a sport.Hell, I sprained my wrist playing soccer... and got kicked in the jaw.I'm loosing topic...

You might be about 45 - 50% right.But I dont think your.. THAT hard on us.

Answer 11

touchy issue, one thing is for certaing besides the rhetoric over who got the shorter end of the stick men and women are really different. We were created differently for different tasks sure most things can be done by either sex but still there is some specialisation involved. women will comtinue to believe that men have it easy and we men will continue to say that women have it easy. Do I think you are hard on women? maybe maybe not but i understand where you are coming from
