my wife is saying men have it easier than women?

Question

wife says men have it made.we just go to work ,come home and our day is done.she says we have no idea what it is like to be a women ,it is so much harder. i disagree i think we men have it harder .

Answer 1

Society still demands that women be in charge of taking care of children and all the housework. If a woman wants to enrich her life by having a career, she has to juggle that with home responsibilities. In the workforce, women still make only 76 cents for every dollar a man makes (look it up if you don't believe me). Women have to work twice as hard for promotions and rarely get credit for their work. Women are expected to cook dinner, keep the house clean, raise the children, and basically keep the whole family going. If she chooses to have a career, society says she's abandoning her children.

It is more socially acceptable for a man to ignore his children to focus on his job than it is for women to do that. Women wouldn't be forced to choose between family and career if men would do their share of the household responsibilities. Your wife is right, and it is important for you to understand how she must feel about these facts.

By asking this question, I hope you're sincerely trying to learn something, and not just looking for someone to agree with you.

Well she might be looking at all sorts of ideas here, women have to have children- something a guy doesn't go thruogh and would not have a clue about. Women have their menstrual cycles which makes our bodies go all over the place and we may have mood swings- a man wouldn't have a clue what we go through there. We have to clean up most of the time after men. We have to make sure the house is clean and your not living in a pigsty. We have to cook all the time which can get sooo boring if the partner doesn't take them out sometimes.If you have children raising them is like a fulltime job. Also another thing women seem to have to always please everybody where men swit back and don't care. ON the other hand it depends what line of work the husband is in, but its still nice to have your hubby come home and appreciate you and still be a little handy like mine is.

Men have it MUCH easier. We can get dressed without worrying about what people think. We pull a comb through are hair and it looks good. We don't need make up. If we don't shave, we look rugged. If we gaina few pounds it's not the end of the world - have you EVER worried if your *** looked fat in something?

Men are automatically respected while women have to earn it. Sometimes when they deserve it they still don't get it. Women are often treated like second class citizens.

Men can have a pizza, beer and a hummer and be thrilled. Women are a lot more complicated than that. It's very tough to be a woman. It's easy to be a man.

Answer 4

No way your wife is right. Some men just come home after work plop themselves on the couch and watch t.v while the wife comes home from a hard day herself and makes dinner for the family, cleans up the dishes afterwards. Makes sure the kids homework is done and is done correctly. Puts laundry in and folds it after it is done. Makes sure the kids take a bath and brush thier teeth. Your wife is trying to tell you something without being so blunt so I will tell it for her. You need to help her around the house!!!!

Answer 5

Suggest she trade places with you. Have her get a job and you keep the house. Start at 7am in the morning to help her get ready so she will not be late or have a harried day. Then get the kids ready. Whenever she gives a helping hand, shown gratitude knowing she does not really have to do it and that she is doing it only at her convinience. Start to clean the house, mop the kitchen, do the laundry, check the home mails etc. Get lunch ready for the children and the house span and clean for her return in case she invites someone home for diner. Put on a smile, to say what a wonderful woman she is. Accept whatever she drops for housekeeping. Her office just increased her tax or she is saving to buy a car for all of you of course or she has to pay for golf club or ladies charity. Sit patiently and understandingly as she recounts her day, her doggy boss and a messy day. Watch out for signs that her boss or colleague made a pass at her. Listen until she falls asleep. Drag her potbelly somehow to the bed and tuck the children in. While pumping your hand and straightening your back, she asks for a backrub, be there to oblidge her tired one round too. At all times, you must say how thankful you are and how lucky for her putting money on the table for your feeding. Lets not go into pregnancy or your mother in law and your friends kids coming to play over. You must not be bitter through it all--and dont ask for divorce

Answer 6

I don't think you can say that one has it harder then the other. It is always an individual thing. For some it probably changes daily. Some women do have it harder then the men and then vise verse. There is no way to say it is one over the other. Definitely not worth having an argument over.

Answer 7

Women have it harder. We work the same jobs for less pay. We have to take of kids and husbands or boyfriends. Not all men are helpless. A lot are. We have to keep our hair, bodies in check. Don't want anybody with crusty feet right??? If we gain one pound we are criticized that now we have let ourselves go. If we have children we have to go to PTO's, pick up reports cards, hear how the kids talk to much in class. The list goes on forever.

Answer 8

A man's work is from sun to sun a woman's work is never done. That was very true in times past, but now more men are helping their wives at home. If your wife is a stay at home mom, that is equivalent to two full time jobs. What she is trying to tell you is that she could use a little help from you and that she feels she is not appreciated.

Answer 9

I don't understand it, but it seems that more men desire to be women than the reverse?

Why are these guys wanting to give up such an easy life for a harder one?

Answer 10

Not enough information. If your wife works outside the home, chances are she is trying to keep up with the housework too. Are you pitching in or does she have to ask you to help?
