Is it easier to be a boy or a girl?

[Shankveld 4,945]

Is it easier to live being male or female?

Clearly both sides have their ups and downs, but which is overall easier and why? ~

[FLARE 951]

Its much easier to be a cow....

 

Hmmm, I think it depends on what you are aiming to do or what your goals are....

[Champion RD92 8,654]

Well I've never been a girl, so I have no idea...

 

How could I possibly know what it's like to be a girl?

[Eenohay 318]

It's easy both ways

[Dragonshy 2,305]

I would think it would be easier for a girl. But since I don't what being a girl is like I don't think I should make a decision based on just opinion.

[Gingerpotato 889]

Boy.

 

If the ladies want to have children, they have to have birth and therefore experience a type of pain that I think would equal that of the hulk smashing a car down on your pelvis.

 

If the men want to have children, they do what men do best...plead. *Insert birds and bees talk*

[Dragonshy 2,305]

Actually everyone will most likely vote for the other gender so that they feel like they have it harder

[Sandwhisper 33]

I'm a girl, but I'm putting my money on boy. -_-

the only person who could answer that is Ranma Saotome

i think that its the same question as.

what hurts more: a kick in the nuts or getting the "time of the month".

and if you know the answer, something has gone terribly wrong.

Use your imagination people gosh ~

Kidney stones. Like a baby made of sharp calcium deposits. Through a hole that doesn't expand for the purpose of kidney stones.

 

That's gotta count for something.

Oh god. . .my mind, it is corrupt. That is a fair point.

Oh oh oh oh I have some facts from teh twitters about this

 

 

Case Closed.

 

Your argument is invalid.

[Killian Jones 2,653]

Well, I would imagine being a man is somewhat easier physically. Both girls and boys do have social stigmas surrounding their groups. So socially it doesn't seem to be any kind of way to win.

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

I gotta say boy. Why?

 

because guys don't have periods

 

 

Ya, that's my reasoning. Sorry, that may be a bit NSFW but I'd never be able to put up with that

well, i can't argue with that.

well played my good sir.

I wrote a really long post but my internet shut down for like two seconds and my post got erased

But, however, the TL;DR description of my post was that both sides have their pros and cos.

[DrOphthalmos 497]

I would say for a long, long time females had it harder. Besides the biological burdens people have mentioned before, it was also much harder to be taken seriously.

 

Nowadays though, women can finally be whatever they want to be. You want to be cutsey-wootsie housewife, that's fine. You want to be a hard-nosed business woman, that's fine too. You want to wear cute skirts and a bow in your hair, fine. You want to wear pants suit and carry a briefcase instead of a purse, fine too. You want to bake? Cool. You want to be a marine and shoot the bad guys? Cool too. Guess what I am saying is that girls get to pick wherever they want to be on the girly-manly scale.

 

Men however, have a huge pressure on them to be manly. You have to be tough, you have to like certain things - just look at the backlash we've gotten for liking MLP.

 

Sexually though, it is probably still a man's world because if a woman tries to behave sexually like a man, she is looked down upon and called a slut. In many parts of the world, it is still acceptable and sometimes even desirable for men to be promiscuous prior to marriage whereas women are supposed to remain virgins. Double standards still apply here.

 

I think the scales are tipping to where it is much easier to be a woman now than it used to be.

Men can pee standing up.

Wow umm... that's kinda hard to answer

 

Historically speaking women were more discriminated against and had more restrictions than boys, but then one would argue that the women were safe at home while the guys were breaking their backs!

 

But now things are more equal between genders with only minor discrimination against one another.

 

When you put aside such things like hard work and vanity which now can actually effect genders almost equally in today's society (most guys care more about their looks than they say they do and some women work harder than men now).

 

In the end I'd have to say guys have it easier. It has almost nothing to do with hard work, vanity, or society, but women's puberty is... let's say a bit more extreme than guys and plus girls are the ones giving birth!

 

They are nearly completely equal in every way now... except the one thing that defines their gender in the first place!

 

So you go girls!

[pondus30 152]

You choose for yourself if it's hard or easy.

 

 

I do not think one is harder than the other one.

I pee sitting... WHAT? I find it quite relaxing and really a waste of time to define how people of certain genres have to pee.

 

Plus I've been told of some very strange and disturbing ways that a very determined girl can pee standing!

Okay, seriously though, I'm not sure which gender has it easier.

He said time of the month. You sure women have a baby a month?

 

EDIT: Doh, I thought you said giving birth hurt more
