Yes, the majority of men don't have to think of the possibility of being raped when walking to the car. Also, men can expect to be paid what they're worth, unless theres another form of discrimination at hand. It's easier to be a man in the workplace, especially a single man. Single women do not often receive the respect that single men do. Women are expected to 'let men down easily' and always be receptive to their advances, but the same is not said of men. When a woman wants to have sex with different people she is called a slut, but most of the time it's accepted for a man to do so. It's easier to be a man, unless you already face discrimination based on race or sexuality etc.

It's more comfortable to sit down anyways. Standing is soooo tiring.

Women have it better than men actually, in fact studies have shown that if you happen to be an aesthetically pleasing woman, people treat you better, promotions come easier, and so forth.

Oh, don't forget about the part where you're susceptible to getting harassed or worse and then being forced to take the blame for it. You know, the things men don't really have to deal with often.

It depends how you respond to your instinct. I'm not a woman yet but I know damn right that men go through troubles too.

Life is an equal opportunity process of good/bad ... everyone has their burdens to bear ... we may not always understand some of what is important to the opposite gender, simply because we are not them ... doesn't mean we should dismiss their needs as having no value ...

And I'm not even talking about "social" issues, I mean just being a female, and the pressures of being a female. Not saying that guys don't have their setbacks, but the standards they used to have settled upon them have become sort of lax.

Oh, and PMS!!!! Let's not forget PMS! It actually changes our BRAIN CHEMISTRY for a week! Fun stuff. - .- My body being declared a "battle ground" by some idiots isn't all it's cracked up to be, either. Nor was pushing two kids out. I'll trade THAT job with a man ANY day of the week.

GLaDOS to Sew 2012/07/17 14:55:39 (edited)

Never know, I can handle a lot, unless your job is to get your Achilles tendon cut/scratched repeatedly.

However, if you want to trade your job for having a job, having crippling abdominal pain for about a week a month, then having a potentially life-threatening pregnancy... well, we'll have to see about that happening.

But, given that I was speaking, purely about the pregnancy-side of things, that means I get to be the one who impregnates, and you get to be the one who carries/has it, and gets to deal with the swelling, rush of hormones, nausea, and someone doing the flamenco on your bladder, or in your ribs. ^_^

Oh, and...

Sew to GLaDOS 2012/07/18 12:37:39

Speaking purely of pregnancy side of things, its a choice. I'm a combat engineer by the way.

reply
GLaDOS to Sew 2012/07/19 03:34:47

Speaking purely of the pregnancy side of things, then all I'd have to trade is your capacity to impregnate, not your actual employ. I trade nine months of hell, following a few minutes of intense pleasure, for fifteen or so minutes of pleasure, then go about my business without having to worry about that nine months. Y'know? Bodily function for bodily function.

Any discrimination is caused by people. Rise up, if anyone blocks your path for such a ridiculous reason as your sex, make it heard.
Only thing I've seen with my eyes, is prevention of being a combat soldier and some heavy manual labour jobs.

If anything, women get a lot of preferential treatment. They get punished less in school, they are more likely to get college degrees nowadays and are given preferential treatment in the workplace.

Yet they still make less money for doing the same job.

Untrue. The statistic about women making 71% of what men make ignores differences in occupational choice, experience (women often take time out to be full-time mothers), etc. If you compare incomes for men and women in their 20s, women actually come out slightly ahead. In any event, income differences do not prove discrimination; sometimes income differences are due to productivity, skill, whatever you want to call it.

I know that in the US military, they get paid the same for doing less.
