  • Man Vs. Woman

    It is funny how many people think men have it easier than women.

    Sure women have babies.  They also have periods.  But so many tasks fall on men.  Men often have to work harder than women.  You also have women avoiding certain jobs at work because they are women.
    Women can have multiple orgasms.  But guys typically find their orgasm much earlier in life.
    Which has it easier, men or women?

  • @Celestial_Teapot - Have my baby, my sweet little teapot. (I’ll do your drywall for ya!)

  • Sometimes I think things have been easier for me simply because I’m a girl. But like, when I played baseball, I think I had a much more difficult time than the boys did. 

  • Who says men work harder? I’ve seen some of the laziest people–mostly men–at my workplace. And don’t get me started on asking a guy to help with chores & housework… :P But jokes aside, I think both sexes have their issues to bear, so perhaps it depends more on the individual and not the mass in this case.  

  • I don’t know who has it worse, but I know trannies have it best. Tits AND penis. Win.

  • I was in the Navy, that work was easier than being a stay-at-home mom to three kids under age 6.  Women have it harder… if you must declare one does.  The draft doesn’t exist anymore… what is it that men must still do that women don’t also do?  (Fighting in combat doesn’t count because women have been killed in battle despite Congress not allowing women to serve in combat.)

  • i’d say happiness and misery are genderless..

  • I’m gonna just simply put it like this…

    Men and women both have their own challenges…

    bitching about who has it “easier” or “harder” is simply getting annoying…

  • Don’t forget that men experience the pain of having their penis caught in their zipper.  Given this, I’d have to give it to women.

  • Two words.
    Menstruation, and menopause.
    Men have to put up with women during both of these. Clearly women have it easier.
    Case closed.

  • Um, depends… Women have it easier in some things and men don’t have to go through a lot f what women have to go through…

  • Men I do think generally have it easier; however, I know when I was working on the stock team.. ALL THE TIME I had women tell me to carry heavy boxes and do furniture while they did the easy stuff. then, when I got tired, they would tell me I needed to go workout more. It totally sucked and I think I should have been paid more for doing more labor or they, should in fact, be paid less for not doing the hard work – especially considering we were all hired for the same job, with the same expectations for all of us.

  • I think both genders have difficulties and both have positives. Men are oppressed in certain ways and so are women. I believe in women’s rights and I believe in men’s rights. I don’t think it’s fair that men can be treated like sacks of shit by overbearing women. And I don’t think it’s right that women can be treated like punching bags by overbearing men. 

  • men have it easy.  

  • it’s a patriarchal world; women often get relegated to an inferior place.  and even guys who aren’t in a the-buck-stops-here place of authority still partake of the benefits of association with authority.  Abuse of the female gender is a very real widespread problem.  Guys luck out, hands down.

  • I have it easy.  My sister still works herself to the bone.  Then again, there’s my sister-in-law, who spends her day at the gym.

  • men – of course, mostly women post on your blog so this poll is skewed. 

  • I don’t think it can be balanced like that. It’s notta 2-tiered scale. It branches out in multiple directions like a metallic octopus. The copper pendulums fall in many different directions.

    So I would say:

    [1] Men have it harder than women due to laboring physically.

    [2] Women have it harder than men due to physically laboring.

    You see, it goes both ways. You can’t say one is better than the other. And BOTH require each other in order to make life in this great universe of ours.

    BTW Theo, Happy Halloween ! [Card]

  • I always thought women had it easier but then I sat on my sac

  • I dont know what would be harder, but not going to lie… I am starting to get PISSED off how no one will hire me for “men” jobs. Such as jobs involving heavy lifting and such. ONLY because I am a women. I am stronger than the average women, and willing to work just as hard as the men, but it isn’t even a possibility :/

  • Neither but if we work together it is easier for both.

  • Indeed Women!!! No match, I would say!

  • Men don’t work harder than women. Men just complain more.

  • Interesting comments from everyone but here is something worth sharing:

      Regarding hiring, it would be appreciated if employers said “everyone is encouraged to apply”. I know all about why they use the other phrase in employment notices but just saying. As for men or women working harder, sometimes men aren’t even given the opportunity because of hiring requirements. A Caucasian woman I know who was not hired for an employment opportunity filed legal action through N.O.W. and forced the employer involved to hire her, initially, over a Caucasian male and an African American male. The African American male sought assistance via NAACP and was hired, by the employer, as the Caucasian woman’s coworker. When the Caucasian male attempted to seek such remedy, using the labor organizations we all are aware, not one would or could provide remedy or assistance. They all said “sorry but we can’t help you”.

  • Men work harder? Really? How are you determining that? 

  • Personally I think men have it harder because we constantly have to listen to women complain about how hard they have it!

  • @Babieboo_Annie - BINGO!!!  You’re sooooo right.

  • @ShimmerBodyCream - BWAHAHAHAHA, Best of both worlds!  I have a toy that looks like a penis, does that count?  LMAO

  • @TiredSoVeryTired - Awesome, you were in the Navy, I never knew that.  My dad and now my brother is.  I’m very proud of them and thank you for your service dear.  Wow, three kids under six, that is amazing.  YOU GO GIRL!!!

  • @locomotiv - That was poetic!

  • @MyPublicSite - BINGO!!!  I feel the same way.

  • @dw817 - Well said David.

  • I think it’s even across the board.  Just reading, and yes commenting, on all the comments so far I can see where people stand and from what I see, most are “on the fence”.  We all have our good days and bad days and together we make each others bad days better, but we can also make each others good days bad.  I’ve seen women do jobs that just a few years ago you would not have seen, so in the stark reality of life, you can’t tell me that women or men have it harder.  If you are still on one side or the other then you’re just lying to yourself, or you have an ego so large you have to ensure everyone knows it.  Perhaps you’re just self-centered or in your own little world.

    Of course I don’t normally talk like this, but there is no better race or sex on this planet.  We are a team, whether you have a team yet or not, we are.  Get over the egos or self-centeredness and face it, IT IS TRUE!!!

  • human babies are so troublesome. sea turtle babies crack their own egg shell. then they skedaddle on their own. human babies need you to change their diapers, burp them or else they vomit and you have to re-feed them every few hours and lose sleep. then teach them how to walk,talk and a whole bunch of other stuff that they should learn by themselves via natural instinct, but nooo, they lay there crying. why can’t it be like…I gave birth to you, now leave me alone! seaturtle moms have it way easier. humans have to latch onto their parents until they are grown-ups. needy little leeches. after they fly away to college, they might boomerang themselves back to the nest to forgo paying rent due to the enablers spoiling and turning them into rotten spam. the sea turtles are surfing the waves in their carefree life while humans have to hustle and do chores and other work. they don’t have to work for a living their entire lives. they were born into the giant ocean and have more freedom than humans will ever know. sea turtle envy

  • @Under_the_Ghillie - Try having a period your self and see how much fun it is for us.  You may “deal” with the mood swings but we deal with the fact that our vagina’s hemorrhage once a month.

  • Ask yourself which gender has power in our society? Who is running the state? Who is the CEO? “women avoiding certain jobs at work because they are women.” NO! women work TWICE has hard to try to even the playing field in the workforce.  

  • @CryingInColor - 
    Exactly! We don’t even get bootie on top of it!
    I don’t know how we survive, to be honest…

  • @Under_the_Ghillie - You haven’t been with to many adventurous girls if you’re not having sex during a girls period.  At least on the low flow days 0_o

  • @CryingInColor -  I’m not saying it never happens, but everyone knows “no sex” is the norm.

  • Men work harder than women?  Please.  Yeah, sleeping all day, sitting on your ass in your underwear watching cartoons all night and posting irrelevant opinions of how you’d run the world if someone would let you (and you could somehow manage to brush your teeth and put on some clothes a couple of days a week) while the woman works at a job, then comes home and works at cooking your dinner, picking up your socks, cleaning up your mess and then works raising the children then works keeping the lawn and then works building a business must be exhausting for you.  Poor, poor dear. 

    As soon as science perfects human cloning, American men will be entirely obsolete.  Or, actually, I should say “American males” because “men” are quickly becoming extinct.  Boys no longer grow up, they merely remain perpetual adolescents until they drop over dead from idleness.

  • From what I can tell we both have it hard.

    And I get a bit annoyed at the divide ignorant people like to put on the genders (amongst other things), it’s debilitating to humankind, we need less of the superficial barriers and more of the pulling together as one.

  • I’d say in a country where men are dying 5-7 years earlier than women, experience more overall violence than women, do more physically laborious jobs than women, and often have their pain ignored in the form of Violence Against Women Act’s, prison rape, female-on-male rape and a host of other things.. Men have it a bit harder in this culture. That doesn’t stand for every culture (even including the United States which has many different cultures in it), and that doesn’t necessarily mean that women always have a cake walk in the United States either…

    Also, men are 80% of suicides in the United States. Compare that to the women of China, who are treated as disposable as much as the men of the U.S. are, and they’re offing themselves in similar percentages there as the men are here.

  • @Under_the_Ghillie - The “Norm” for who Doug?  Excuse me, The Doug. 

  • I think there are jobs/tasks assigned to men & women in their respective walks of life, so it depends on the addressee men/women hoe to take up that job/task…

  • @blonde_apocalypse - 
    This was a national poll, not just men vs women in Alabama.

  • @Under_the_Ghillie - Oh.  Duly noted.  That must be the problem.

  • Surely we all can agree somebody’s been working u hard..ha

  • You are rite Dan!

  • I think there are always going to be situations were the woman have it better then the Men and where the Men have it better than the Woman..

  • I don’t think either sex has it easier or harder than the other. Regardless of gender, we all have issues and all face certain challenges in our lives. Instead of us complaining about who has it better and who doesn’t, we should take ownership of our lives.

  • Men of course DUH!! Take the gym for example, anytime i go all the ladies are giving it loads on the cross trainers & bikes etc punishing themselves while the men are all squashed into the jacoozi & spa area. Women push themselves further in all aspects of life and men like to think they have. 

  • It depends on the individuals being compared, now, doesn’t it?

  • @Under_the_Ghillie - But putting up with it and going through it is entirely different. Watching someone getting kicked in the balls isn’t nearly as painful as getting kicked in the balls yourself… :P

  • @Babieboo_Annie - 
    Good point!
    Women don’t have to worry about getting kicked in the balls!
    lawyered :p

  • @Under_the_Ghillie - Hey, getting punched in the boobs is rather painful as well..and if you’re gonna go there with the “kicked in the balls” pain factor, I’ll counter it with this: men don’t have to endure a painfully intensive 11-hr long process of expelling a 6-lb baby from their vagina when the cervix is only 10cm wide when dilated. :P

  • @Babieboo_Annie - 
    You said vagina, and I lost my train of thought…
    What were we talking about again?

  • In most societies, women obviously are worse off than men. They are denied basic freedoms, they are controlled by their fathers and then by their husbands. 

    But a really amazing thing happened in the First World in the last half-century or so.

    Women caught up.

    Maybe not totally, maybe not in every way; but at the same time, there are now certain advantages granted to women that are now denied to men. I guess I would lean toward saying that women are probably slightly worse off than men in the modern US, but it’s a much smaller difference than it used to be. At this point, other factors are generally more important, like socioeconomic status. It’s much easier to be a rich woman than a poor man.

    I think the reason feminism is going through a crisis right now is that it succeeded. The vast majority of sexism in our society was effectively eliminated, and now we’re left with only backlash and minor issues that we wouldn’t even have noticed before. We went from “women can’t vote” to “the worst thing a man has done to me is hit on me in an elevator” in less than a century. That’s wonderful.

    We do need to remain vigilant, especially as long as we have people talking about transvaginal ultrasounds and “legitimate rape” and calling you a slut for wanting to use birth control. But let’s not lose sight of how far we’ve come!

  • @Babieboo_Annie - Also, while injury to the testicles is very painful, injury to the vulva is much more likely to cause life-threatening complications.

  •  @Under_the_Ghillie - LOL! See the things women have to go through with men never paying attention with just the slight mention of tits, ass, and pussy…Smh. *sigh* Yep. We definitely have it harder.. ;P haha Alright I’m done with the fun debate for today.. My view still stands. Humans have it hard..we gotta worry about alien invasions. =/

    Btw, @pnrj just gave me a supporting statement. @pnrj - Thank you! ;)

  • @ShimmerBodyCream - I know it’s kind of a joke… but actually transsexuals live very difficult lives in our society. They face harassment and abuse on a daily basis, they are discriminated against by government and private companies, and they are at a much higher risk of being assaulted or murdered. They have extremely high rates of depression and suicide.

    Also, most of them don’t like being called “trannies”, though some are trying to reclaim this term. If you want a shorter, more fun term than “transsexual”, use “trans”.

  • @Babieboo_Annie - 
    Oops. Um, your hair looks great today and stuff. Heh.
    Aliens?!

    Have a great day. This was fun.

  • @pnrj - 
    You’re that guy that explains a knock knock joke after telling it, aren’t you? Don’t lie.

    Sheesh. She just made a harmless joke. Yes, harmless, provided you have skin thicker than rice paper. Lighten up.

  • @Under_the_Ghillie - Likewise. Debates are fun (when not taken seriously that is). :)

  • @Under_the_Ghillie - You’re so bigoted if all you’re worried about is sex during her period. Jesus Christ, it’s three days you have to deal with blow jobs, while she deals with cramps and mood alteration. She’s not your fucking sexual object. Learn to treat women with respect.

    And no it’s not something to joke about.

  • @MyPublicSite -  *yawn*

    Oh, I’m sorry my humor offended your fragile sensibilities. For the record though, *I* decide what is and is not something for me to joke about.

    Does this mean you won’t be sending me a friend request then?
    :’(

  • Men.  Just because some girls are lazy doesn’t mean we all are.  Think boobs are fun?  Yeah try running with em.  A guy slapped my ass so I beat his ass…he thought I was weak simply because I have a vagina.  Kicked in the balls?  Yeah try having rough sex and getting hit in the cervix.  I fart and its a big deal.  I have really really big feet.  Guys have a large range of shoes to fit feet.  Girls?  Over a size 9 and you’re pretty much screwed.  By the way, why am I supposed to look like a preteen (ridiculously perky breast, smooth as silk face) for the rest of my fucking life?  Boobs consist of some glands and a lot of fat.

  • @Under_the_Ghillie - yep, bigoted. You’re so much better then me. Remember that dear. Can’t even hold an actual debate. Has to just throw out how bigoted he is right away.

  • @pnrj - I am from a Midwestern town of 1,200. I just learned “jap” was offensive this year. I’m a little slow. *shemale

  • @MyPublicSite - 
    Feel better? You got to vent a little, let out some frustration, defend the things you feel strongly about…
    I hope it helped.
    Ok, bye now.

  • Neither. Both have their advantages.
    Women usually have an easier time getting people to do stuff for them, have support groups to help them if they are abused or raped, can play the gender discrimination card more easily, have more fashion choices in certain subcultures, generally have an easier time getting custody of children in the event of a divorce, and don’t have to worry about their privates getting caught in zippers or getting hit and experiencing pain enough to make you want to pass out.
    Men, on the other hand, have to worry less about being raped (although it can happen), often are physically stronger, don’t get periods, can’t get pregnant, and seem to be taken more seriously in a lot of situations.

  • Im on the fence Dan!…but let me say, I dont have to show off too much boob to get what I want……and I havent seen a guy swinging his dick around to persuade ppl lately! Got a feeling that might be frowned upon, whatcha think?

  • Aye Theo, ya boy’s back.  Mock D Season 2 premiers on HealthKicka this weekend.

  • I believe it to be just about even giving a slight edge to women.

    Everyone seems to forget that men are supposed to be the support and I guess the support role can easily be overlooked. Yes women go through the pain of child birth and they have their periods, but if you’re that woman’s significant other, you know how harsh they can be to you. I went through it with my sisters growing up. We men are responsible for taking care of the woman and kids that follow in that relationship. Men are supposed to be the main support pillar in a household. That responsibility tends to get overlooked because no one can walk in each others shoes

  • @EccentricSiren - Blah… I’ve been hit hard enough to jar my ovaries, it was not only painful but the cramps lasted twenty minutes and I was sore for awhile.  Of course, it would be harder to do that to women, but it can and does happen.

  • @pnrj - Woah… if a man and a woman are alone in an elevator and the man hits on a woman in a creepy manner, that can be very frightening and scary.  Of course it’s an elevator, but you are going to feel very trapped until that door opens again.  (Depending on how he hit on her, of course).

  • @TiredSoVeryTired - And if that’s the worst that happens to you over the course of a day… seems like a pretty good day to me. “I had this awkward moment with a creepy dude on an elevator!” I mean, I guess it’s bad for a guy to do this. But there are far, far worse things that happen to people all the time. There’s a reason most people aren’t deeply moved by this kind of display of sexism, because it’s such a minor harm and frankly it’s hard to even see it as sexist in the first place.

  • @pnrj - Some dude freaks the crap out of some woman and golly gee jillikeers… that ain’t so bad… BULLSHIT.  Nobody should have to be freaked out by a stranger/co-worker/friend/acquaintance during part of the day.  (Assuming it was threatening, not just awkward.)  I mean that’s like saying, so what if you lost one of your testicles to cancer, you still have another one, some people die when they are four-years-old from cancer.  Why the comparison?  It sure as heck can be freaky as shit to get hit on in an elevator.  You feel trapped, you cannot immediately escape… you know the doors will open soon so he can’t do anything, but that doesn’t mean you have been scared witless.  

  • There’s hardship and inequality on both sides. I mean, a girl can put on a suit and tie and go out of the house like normal and no one makes a big deal. But a guy can’t put on a dress and paint his nails and wear makeup unless he’s performing in a drag show. I think that sucks. Down with traditional gender expectations! DOWN I say!

  • @Babieboo_Annie - I totally agree, including the jokes (they’re true!). Lol

  • Hmm, when you put it that way….naw. White middle-age men have it easy. :-p

  • Perhaps we need to remind ourselves to “be cool” and not take all of this too serious.
