Many think it's harder to be a woman because the politically correct thing is to think all burdens rest on females, but women are more intelligent, men are bad, women are good, and the list goes on.
I noticed many Sodahead males readily agree that women are more intelligent and men get all the lucky breaks. What a crock! I cannot fathom why so many of us think that women have no advantages. They want to be our equals, but I still feel the pressure of thinking it's "ladies first." To hell with that! Saying "ladies first" is saying that women are superior. There is absolutely no reason why we should continue the practice of ladies first.
BTW: When my uncle was a boy in the Sixties, he said that boys would get physically punished for the slightest thing. Girls were always respected, and nobody ever, ever thought of physically punishing a female. A male gym teacher humiliated boys and flirted with girls. Many other male teachers followed suit. So girls had it harder???
Western women have become self-righteous, narcissistic, bitches who often have no respect for males. No woman gets my respect until I see that it's going to be reciprocated.
PUBLIC OPINION > It's Still Harder to Be a Woman

Women recently outscored men in IQ testing research for the first time in a century, but that doesn't necessarily mean life is easier on them. Women have made a lot of social, political and financial progress during that time... But is it still harder to be a woman? Hahajk.com asked the public.
The short answer is yes, most people think it is still harder to be a woman. However, the original question had two separate responses for each answer. The most popular answer overall was "Yes, but it's getting better." So despite the discouraging result, there's quite a bit of optimism out there. The most popular "No" response was that everyone gets "a fair shake."
Men Call It Even
Gender was, not surprisingly, the most divisive demographic. In fact, men were the only major demographic that gave "No" a majority vote, and it was by quite a bit. Only 35% of them think it's tougher to be a woman. Voters cited scholarships, maternity leave, the draft, and custody battles as a few reasons why men can also have it rough.
Teens Say It's Tough to Be a Woman
Age wasn't as significant as gender, but there was certainly a correlation. Teens, on average, were about 20% more likely than older respondents to claim it's still tougher to be a women, though it fluctuated a bit. Maybe it's a matter of perspective. For older voters, it might be that women seem to have it easier relative to the past.
Money Doesn't Discriminate
One reason some feel women still have it rough is that they typically make less than men. Based on the income demographic, people who make more more than $50,000 are more likely to say that men and women have a fair shake. It could be that there are more men making over $50,000, or it could be that women who make over $50,000 don't feel as much pressure.

I would not do it again.
Women use both - thus our ability to multi-task.
Men can NEVER be the same as women, and vice-versa.
Currently, in Western society a woman isn't expected to only be pretty and nothing about her matters. Women can do more in life than just looking pretty and taking care of their children. They are also able to pursue the careers of their choice.
Yet, most people still expect men to support the family financially and not too many handsome men want to date ugly girls. Or, at least that's the stereotype.
Problems with equality, tampons, diet pills... All that fun stuff.
- Today, the question is not the same as 20 years later or so...
- Depending on where you comment from (wich country), the answer is biased...
- Many will answer depending on their own experience, wich isn't representative of the global mass of others from the same sex.
- The earth has enough to deal with with both men and women... so it doesn't give a damn about who has it worst... All it wants is to breath and live well... and we're crushing it little by little, day by day... So our pesky troublesome specie in a whole IS a problem.
Sorry, just sayin' ... ;)
My head is spinning.
I like your logic, "She was asking for it!" "She deserves it!" That's your logic. Because we all know when women get discriminated in a job interview, treated poorly in public, dismissed at town hall meetings, it's all her fault. If only she had told everyone she was married for to the same guys since she was 12 and talked in a soft voice everything would have been fine. WTH?
Second, Women are not more intelligent than men. I bring this up because, in Art's topic on this, people repeatedly stated women were "always" smarter than men. That's pretty sexist. No gender is superior to another, and it's Social Darwinism (essentially a fascistic root) to act like one is.
That said, I agree that women still have it hard. But the amount of overly-feminist bias guttered out of people's mouths on this very subject is pathetic. Women have it tougher because of certain cultures; because of how they're perceived by men. But this notion isn't universal, and it doesn't apply to every culture. Not only that, but because the problem lies in perception, there should be no criticism on the law's role in this issue. The law is fine. People are not.
If I feel I please a guy, I think it's nice, but I'm waiting for him to do something nice back to me. If he just sits there waiting for more I think he's a self bastard.
