what are some advantages our society gives women over men?

Answer 1

As has been pointed out by some, there is a long list of advantages women enjoy at the expense of men and children. To name a few:
Affirmative action;
Being named "primary parent' even though many times the father is the best parent;
Paternity fraud which includes cuckolding;
domestic abuse geared toward the idea that only men beat women even though it is nearly equal;
VAWA I;
VAWA II;
Health research spending;
Women's shelters with only a smattering of men's shelters;
Official government assistance specific to women with none for men such as women business owners receiving priority in bidding on state contracts;
Being considered primary parent in never-married situations while the father must sue to obtain the title;
Custody and child support;
False accusations of rape and abuse;
Lighter sentences when convicted of crimes;
Alimony;
Being elected to positions of power due to their sex, not ability;
Abortion along with the ability to abandon a newborn legally or retain custody and demand child support from the father who does not have any of these 'rights';
WIC;
Longer average lifespan;
Selective Service;
Sexual harassment;
etc.

Answer 2

I've been having a hell of a time at work in a very abusive situation. It's bad enough that I've spoken with an attorney. If I were a woman or a member of a minority group, I could sue. The only reason I can't is because I'm a white male.

Then there's the matter of unintended pregnancy. It's up to the woman whether to abort the pregnancy or not and I wouldn't want to change that. But if a child is born, the woman shouldn't have sole unfettered choice as to whether or not the man should be subjected to what is, in fact, an 18-year shakedown when there was never any plan to partner into parenting. I really don't see anything wrong with either signing off parental responsibility. The other may then assume full responsibility or offer the child for adoption. If there's a concern about the child becoming a burden on the state, then the single parent should be informed that it will be hard going because the state isn't going to kick in. Now, it's rather common for women to want to limit or eliminate contact with a man they never wanted to parent with and yet feel entitled to collect child support payments.

Answer 3

I'm having a hard time but I guess the one I can think of is women get to be what they want without fear of ridicule. Want to be a doctor? mechanic? scientist? housewife? manager? sure, do it. but if a man wants to be a ballet dancer, a nurse, a flight attendant, people think its funny.

I suppose we also get the freedom to wear anything and not get ridiculed eg dresses, make up, long hair.

But i suppose you could think these are negatives too, eg. women have pressure to be everything (caring wives, good mums and successful career women) and look good too with hair and makeup!

Something else to think about: what is it like in other cultures? I cant answer but maybe someone else can.

Answer 4

Where do I begin? Domestic violence laws that punish men for defending themselves, and allow women to have their men thrown in jail based on their word alone, without independent witnesses or physical evidence. Requiring the police to only arrest the "primary aggressor", defined, not as the instigator, or as the less injured, but as the "more physically threatening" and a bunch of other crap only appying to men.

Child custody laws that strongly favor the mother over the father, even in cases of physical and emotional child abuse.

Shelters for battered women that refuse to accept men.

Much more funding toward breast cancer than prostate cancer, despite the fact that the latter is more common than the former.

A society that accepts women having bumper stickers saying things like "men are not pigs, pigs are intelligent, thoughtful creatures." or "single women can't fart. They don't have the assholes until they are married." Will you ever see a man with those things on his car about women?

Affirmitive action, despite the fact that women on average have better education than men, and therefore more career oppurtunities.

@ss kissing manginas, like Dr Phil, and other "doctors", who go on and on about how men are the weaker sex.

Insurance companies that discriminate against men by charging them higher life or auto premiums(do you think that insurance companies will ever charge blacks more than whites, if they are statistically a higher risk?)

A media and culture that portrays men as being aggressive and violent, and women as caring and dainty.
