Women easily have it better... but you wouldn't know because they are much better at complaining about things than men.
Examples:
Breast cancer funding is 10x that of prostate cancer funding even though they both kill the same amount of people each year.
If a woman has sex willingly and gets pregnant, she can either choose to kill the man's child via abortion or keep it and force him to pay child support for 18 years.
Women have more choices in clothing: pants, skirts, dresses, shoes, etc.
Women get to lie about how they look and it's somehow acceptable to everyone: lie about their figure by wearing girdles. Lie about their legs by wearing stockings, lie about their looks by using make up, lie about their height by wearing heels, etc, etc.
Women, more than men, get to choose to stay at home and raise their kids - or not - and go to work. Although it is difficult to ddo either of these... they have more of a choice in society than men.
Women get their meals paid for,

doors opened more, books/bags picked up more than men do. Men at the office pick up and move heavy things for women all the time.
Women can have multiple orgasms - not all of them - but a lot more than men.
Women live longer, have the choice to go to war or not, have more funding for medical research in general, have separate gyms, changing tables in bathrooms more than men for their kids....
If you remove the cost to women's careers of them leaving work for raising their kids (which women do by CHOICE - by CHOOSING to have sex or have a kid after getting pregnant), then men and women earn the same amount for the same job.
It goes on and on and on...
One more thing: next time you see a commercial on TV for a product or service and the commercial has a man or woman (married or otherwise), notice that the man always plays the role of an idiot - and the woman is always the wise, responsible or all-knowing of the two.

Do you live in the US?! It's still a Man's World my dear. Let's skip the silly points about better clothing, meals paid, etc.
Men are paid more than women for the SAME JOBS.
Men don't get their periods every friggin month, and that means no cramps, backache, acne breakouts. They also don't have to carry babies inside of them for nine, long, gruling months....all men do is contribute their sperm.
If a woman sleeps with a man she's a slut, but the guy is a stud.
There has never been a woman President. Even African countries have had women leaders.
Women are made to feel like fat, ugly, pigs if they don't resemble Heidi Klum or some other air brushed beauty. So, then we have to invest in makeup, pushup bras, plastic surgery, etc.
1 out of every 3 women will be sexually assaulted by a man in her lifetime. Now don't you wish you were a woman?
And FYI.....nobody is havin "multiples" sweetheart, although I know you guys think you're that good ; )

Gimme a break.
Breast cancer. Hmmm... something tells me that if men were losing testicles at the rate at which women are losing breasts to cancer, there'd be a cure by now.
If a man has sex willingly, he doesn't have to worry about getting pregnant. Men can and do walk away from that responsibility ALL THE TIME.
You can wear skirts, too, if you want. Not saying you might not get beat up for it, but you have the choice. Men may have fewer choices, but that's not all bad. Your clothes don't go out of style at the rate ours do. I betcha you're still wearing jeans you bought three or four years ago. If I did that, I'd have to accept the fact that I'm woefully out of fashion, leg widths, lengths and rises having changed yearly in the meantime.
Women are *forced* to lie about how they look. Between men, the media and the porn industry, we've been taught that a woman's natural beauty is of no value. We'd better have long, flowing, shiny blonde hair, big **** and smooth thighs or we're worthless.
Regardless of whether we *choose* to stay home with our kids or return to work (and no, it's NOT always a choice!) there will be a large faction of Americans who will deride us for our choice.
Regardless of the fact that we attend college in larger numbers than you, we still earn less for the same jobs. The glass ceiling still exists; a female CEO is still news. Sexual harassment from the men in power makes many a woman's work life miserable and leaves too many women out of the running for the promotions they deserve.
Most men have never, ever had to so much as think about what it would be like to be raped. For women, even those of us who make a conscious choice not to live in fear, it's something that's constantly present. I can't go certain places alone at night because I have a vagina to protect. You've never had to think of it quite that way, have you?
Women pay more for haircuts. We pay more for dry cleaning. That's right out in the open. What's not is that there are still shady business practices that mean women get charged more for things like auto and home repairs.
We've never seriously contemplated electing a female President in this country, even though women have ruled many other countries.
And don't give me that crap about medical research funding. Most medical research is still done on men first and foremeost. There is a plethora of drugs on the market for conditions that affect both men and women (heart disease, anyone?) but the research was done on men and the drugs are approved for men before they ever even get around to running parallel research on women.
As you said, it goes on and on. Still and all, I love being a woman and wouldn't have it any other way... doesn't mean I'm not going to pipe up about the things that still aren't right.

Sorry, I stringently disagree with you. You have no idea what it is like to suffer from severe cramping and bleeding every month for half of your life. You have no idea of the discomfort and extreme agony of childbirth. Most women that I know work AND do the majority of child care, housework and these days even yard work. Breast cancer is much more deadly than prostate cancer and strikes at an earlier age. Most men by the age of 65 do have some form of prostate cancer, but it is slow-growing and the man usually dies from another cause before the cancer gets him. If a man doesn't want a child, he should make sure he wraps that thing in a condom each and every time. The pill for women has a lot of side effect: nausea, breast tenderness, weight gain, migraine headaches, possible blood clotting. Men are much more shallow about choosing a partner based on their looks, so if a woman wants to wear make-up, who are you to say she shouldn't? I could go on and on, but you get my drift.

women and men are just different. we deal with different things. poor men i feel bad for them. especially white men. do you have a mom to cry to? its not womens fault that you wish it were socially exceptable to wear heels and hose. just go for it. no i dont think women in the us have it far better then men. stop wasting your energy here and start raising money for prostate cancer research or just whine long enough and some woman will do it.
