Answer 2

Women can get away with a wider range of options in life than men can. Stop and think about it. A woman could be a truck driver, nurse, pro athlete, or a homemaker and not get much if anything in the way of flack. The man, on the other hand, could easily be thought of as "sissy" by those around him if he became the nurse or the homemaker. A woman could also take up any of the following as hobbies: fishing, crocheting, woodworking, or cooking, and not raise eyebrows. But woe to the man who tries to cook or crochet, lest he be might seen as weak by his peers.

Answer 3

I am 46 yrs old and have only found one way in which being a woman beats being a man,we can express emotion freely while men are taught to shut down which makes for alot of unhappy relationships

Answer 4

As a man, I'd start of by saying - women have a HUGE choice in the range of underwear ...which I envy. Plus, they get to legitimise spending large amounts of money on pampering themselves, or in having themselves pampered.

As one of the male characters in the TV series 'Coupling' stated......

"Women, you get to judge us on our performance, while we, we're just happy to see you naked."

And, I think it was Joey in Friends who commented upon the fact that ''Women could touch their breasts at any time, while the male needed active permission'' ~ or words to that affect.

There's a whip hand women hold as that evidence of male 'activity and performance' is always on display, where the reverse is true for the female ~ and can be vastly more active in the 'orgasm' area than the male too.

My wife experienced 14 orgasms before I had my own, one night. I'm not arguing as to whether that is 'fair,' but Life is like that.

Sash.

The Age of Men is Ending by Christopher Cortazzo '06
Discussed in this article: Kaiser Wilhelm's Arm by Beth Starrantino '08

It is surely no secret that men and women have been in varying degrees of conflict since the beginning of time. Mars versus Venus, the battle of the sexes: no matter what you call it, the conflict is there and has been ongoing. I am here to proclaim that yes, men have traditionally had the upper hand, but I’m also crying foul: you ladies have a whole lot of advantages and the contest just isn’t fair anymore. The age of man is ending.

If viewed from a religious perspective, Adam was created first. This is all well and good; it’s nice to be the first one on the block. But then God realized that while his first effort was awesome, He is God after all, and could reach back a little further into His bag of tricks and go for Man 2.0. Yes I’m talking about Eve. Not only did God redesign things in a far more attractive package, but He also gave her the luxury of getting Adam to do things he wouldn’t otherwise do, like eat that darned apple. And don’t forget making those leafy clothes! (If it were up to Adam, I’m sure we’d all be going around nude.) So yes, Man 2.0, or woman if you prefer, is a better marketing exercise: she looks better and performs more efficiently. I’ve never seen such a tenacious creature run more effectively off of a small garden salad and a bottled water.

If viewed through the lens of evolution, women of all species get the luxury of picking their partner! It does take two to tango, and unfortunately men are the ones always wanting to dance. The women get to sit back and pick their ‘dance partner’, but women are about as willing as a ‘dance partner’ as the male praying mantis is when it comes time to take the missus out for dinner.

So why do we live in a patriarchal society? Men were the first ones on the block after all, and we have been playing this trump card for eons. We had the luxury of being the first ones to adventure out of our caves and try things like hunting and farming, probably all at the behest of women. If I had a comfy cave I don’t think I’d be easily persuaded to leave if left to my own devices, (“Honey, isn’t the cave moss enough to eat for now?”) Nevertheless, we developed a few secrets for survival and kept them from the women for as long as possible. But as time has passed, most our secrets have been decoded by women’s clever skills of … persuasion.

So time passes and we are brought to the present day. Science no longer requires a man to make a baby, and the brotherhood of men just don’t know what to do. Women seem to have just about all they need to live without men at all, even without a ‘dance partner’! The supply of men is going to run out pretty quickly. Men know they are on the losing side of the battle. Men, being the ones who did battle, employed an old trick: making the enemy of my enemy my friend. They decide to create enemies that women will be hard pressed to defeat, and therefore require a man to handle. Pickle jars and computers. Yes, these two pitiful things are the last two bastions of male dominance left. But I fear that even these classic safeguards of male usefulness will soon be overcome.

To aid the cause of the other side, some men have even jumped ship. I’m positive no man would be shortsighted enough to give women their own propaganda networks, Lifetime and Oxygen TV, without being employed by the other side.

This brings me to my point: Pickle jars and computers. I’ve brought to you these closely guarded secrets so that I may have a favored place when women are our overlords and force what few men are left to wear pretty bows in our hair and sweet smelling moisturizers. The Age of Women is neigh....

Answer 7

More choice clothes wise. And hair. And if we want to we can wear make up.
We can talk, discuss things that aren't just football.
Otherwise, I think we're all just people. The downside is that women are stuck with the baby while the man is free to walk away.

Answer 8

Can't legitimately compare since I've never been a man! But I enjoy being a woman - after all we are the superior ones!
