I think we both have our hardships and triumphs, but in the end, we're all humans.
Some people have called me a feminist, but I don't agree with that, because feminists usually focus solely on women. I focus on humans, and how we should all be equal. No matter the gender, race, religion, orientation, or political beliefs. So I'm a Humanist.
Perhaps on a base, mortal level, women experience more natural physical pain in their lives because of menstruation and childbirth (and even sex can be very painful/unpleasant at first), but on a higher, spiritual, and mental level, we all suffer an extensive amount.
One might say "Well, women are more emotional, and they go through more emotional pain." I don't necessarily agree with that. I think women show their emotions more often than men, and our hormones are a little bit crazy. But I have seen men in the throes of painstaking depression, sadness, rage, and jealousy just like us girls.
We can compare and contrast the differences all day. But while a girl may be in one room clutching her lower stomach and wailing, there could be a boy in the next room gritting his teeth while he puts a knife to his wrist.
When you get right down to it, pain is pain, and while we all experience it differently, I'd say it adds up to the same amount. It isn't easy if you're a girl, boy, transgender, whatever. Being a human being is a painful and wonderful experience for everyone.
