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.

check the increase in false claims of child molestation in divorce cases? no facts just 'the woman says so'..sounds liekm power to me
Personally I have seen 'helpless' women flash a breast and get promoted...only when the guy can no longer deliver is the cry of sexual harassment made
They both have disadvantages also. Women have less roles than men and sometimes have less pay at their jobs.But men are always treated worse than woman, like higher expectations when playing sports and don't have that "rule" of not hitting guys, so if I hit a guy in the face I get sort of polpular but if I hit a girl I become hated by everyone.

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.
Until contraception is totally free to anyone who wants it AND men in the U.S. are encouraged to wear condoms and think of every woman they sleep with as the potential mother of their children, bigots like you need to put a sock in it.
Perhaps the reason why no woman is interested in you is because you make hateful/ignorant/baseless accusations about Western women. You sound far more 'bitchy' and self-righteous than any woman I've talked to on this website. I suggest that you stop with the stereotypes and bad attitude if you ever want a date.
Can you not think of the plethora of REAL reasons women have it harder: assault, murder, rape by men. Men can walk down the street at night and not think about getting raped once. This is not the same for women. You claim to know so much about men and women, but really you don't. Also, historically both boys and girls were physically punished (you mention one occurrence only) but now we have evolved to embrace more enlightened methods of punishment.
"Oh you're only complaining because no woman will date you!"
And that's at least a -5 for being a presumptuous ass. So over all? B-, nothing stellar, but you passed the class. I recommend tutoring after class.
I am not full of myself. Also you automatically assume that I'm female. How sad.
True, men are assaulted and murdered more frequently (by other men most of the time), but more women are murdered by their husbands than are men, more women are sexually assaulted and raped by men.
did i get it somewhere in the ball park?
You're assuming that no woman is interested in me, but that's not true. I was a real player until I got married to a woman who appreciates being treated like a lady and appreciates her man (me). Unlike so many women nowadays, my wife is morally supportive instead of trying to compete with other men.
Get over the over-hyped crap about assault, murder, rape,... Except for rape, more men than women get assaulted and murdered than women. It's just that many women are shocked that someone would hurt them, but not nearly as shocked when it happens to a man. Yes, we have more enlightened means of punishment today, but it's still more accepted to physically punish a male than it is a female, and if females are physically punished, it's never accepted to be as severely as that of males. Miss know-it-all, where did I claim to know so much about men and women?????
Women aren't shocked someone would hurt them. The fact is that most murders, rapes, or assaults done on women are done by men they know, who have been husbands, boyfriends, or friends, or relatives. That's why they're shocked. You would have already known this if you had a clue what you were talking about.
And as to your past as a player. That doesn't mean anything. It doesn't take a genius or a man of substance to lie to a bunch of women to get them in bed. You're player past just proves you have no clue about women and are a male chauvenist who believes women exist for his own pleasure and use.
You used to be a player. Wow, we all know how highly women think of players. Men who lie or swoon women for the sake of getting them into bed so he can get his sex on. how noble--NOT.
I do not regret having been a player. I don't regret using narcissistic, egotistical women for my own sexual gratification. Whenever I met a real sweetie of a girl, I always respected her and treated her with kindness, but you're forgetting that while there are plenty of cads out there, there are plenty of bitches too.
Remember what I pointed out before: I respect women only as much as they're willing to respect me.
