Depends. I think women have life much easier when it comes to social interaction. They are free to express their feelings with one another, and even with guys. They don't worry about if they say just the wrong thing someone isn't going to think they are "woman enough." Girls also don't have to worry about asking out guys (usually). I think men definitely have life harder here.
However, guys don't have to worry about make up, having their period, getting boobs (well maybe a little, but that's another issue altogether), etc. I think men have much less to worry about, and in this area have life much easier.
While sometimes a woman is not taken as seriously in the work place, women can also manipulate men much easier. Most men also invest more of their self-worth into their careers. I don't think either sex has it any easier than the other in the workforce.
Women definitely have it harder when it comes to parenting (childbirth alone proves that). However, I also think parenting is much more rewarding for women.
In general, I think life is tough no matter who you are. Whatever circumstance you find yourself in will present its own challenges.

I think it is different for each individual, not necessarily per gender. Each person grows up in a different environment and they may have a hard time in life because of it. Some will overcome their obstacles and be one of the best people around.
Every person should have good communication and honesty in every relationship. If you don't have those, then you will have a hard time.
Life is what you make it. Everyone has different paths to choose from......It can be difficult at times for everyone. I won't say that it is harder for one or the other, because honestly, I believe it is different for everyone.
There are guys and gals who can sail through life as a breeze, but you may not know the full story. They may be having severe personal problems that no one knows about and makes it look easy.

Difficult to say. I mean, maintenance wise, girls have to shave, wax or have laser hair removal. They have more concern with their hair and makeup (unless your a metro-sexual guy). Girls get their period. They also go through morning sickness and have to endure the pain of delivering a baby. Stay at home mothers have the task of looking after the children. E.t.c ...
On the other hand, traditionally men have to make the money and look after the family. They do suffer more pain if they get a wax (thicker hair). They have to shave their face almost everyday. E.t.c ...
Another point is cultures. In many societies, girls are subordinate to men and they face the challenge of equality.
I would have to say that women possibly suffer more emotionally then men.

Personnaly speaking, I think females have it harder. If you want to get really specific minority females have it next to the worst the worst being in my opinion the black male.
Why? One our values are screwed up. We freely give give give and some of the things and the people we give to are truly undeserving. Second, many haven't learned the warning signs of a bad relationship early enough. Abusive relationships, whether it be between parents, siblings, co-workers or significant others should never be tolerated. Third, we live in denial, anger, and bitterness much of the time. This goes back to the relationship thing. When a woman does a job equal to a man why does she not deserve the same wage? We will make up every excuse in the book as to why things happened the way they did, as long as WE aren't to blame. And lastly, it's extremely hard to teach a young teenage boy what a man is if one isn't around. We often times will keep the kids when a relationship sours and whether it be lack of maturity or lack of interest, ladies we can't teach a boy the same way a man can. That boy seeks affirmation from a male he values. If he sees men floating in and out of our lives, he will look to be that. The old saying is so true. Our daughters grow up to be their mothers, and marry someone like their fathers. Our sons grow up to be similar to their fathers, and marry someone like their mother.

i think girls have it harder. although boys have pressure with gangs, being tough, and just being a MAN period. girls have more pressure to have sex and when they finally do it and have a baby. WE AS WOMEN HAVE THE BABY!~!~! we carry the baby 4 nine months and then give birth. thats just one of the many things that women have to go through.men have it hard but women have it HARDER.

girls definitely have a harder life cos guys can act the way they want and whenever they want and that wouldn't be weird because they're expected to act like that.
besides they barely have to take care of their looks, while girls have to go through hell to look good.

Definitely guys. We see ourselves as white knights duty bound to rescue damsels in distress. One of those damsels in distress just took me for over $8,000 and then enrolled in bible college and essentially told me to get lost.
I should have realized that something was wrong when none of her four ex husbands or two of her adult sons was willing to help her.
However she seemed so desperate, she was one day away from getting evicted and being thrown out on the street because she hadn't paid her rent. Also she has two children in elementary school who definitely should not be homeless on the street. How could I say no?
However after $8,000 I decided that I could not afford to lend her any more money.
When I asked this woman how she was going to support her two small children and keep a roof over their heads, because I was not going to lend her any more money, she replied "I have faith. God will provide"
She is already working on another sucker like me. I think that she has this down to a science. I have noticed that there are many women that have this down to a science.
After all she has been through four ex husbands. She knows how to manipulate men and appeal to our duty to rescue women from the trouble that they get themselves into.
Unfortunately for men there is nobody to rescue you if you get yourself into trouble. You just have to take your lumps.

different aspects of life are harder for girls and certain aspect are harder for guys.
Its harder for Guys because they are expected to be working forever and bring the bacon home
Women its harder when the work because they lack respect and men often treat them as objects.
Its harder for men to meet women than it is for women to meet men.
