The only thing hard about being a guy is trying to impress a girl and make her happy that's about it. Girls have periods and attitudes and mood swings and hot flashes and menopause and have babies and being single moms and marry dead beats.

R i o k u How many women do YOU know take their frusturations out on YOU? If I am angry about my 'role' in society, I am not going to go blame a guy. No woman I know if going to do the same thing either. So, I have no idea what you are talking about.
Why don't we just group all women in the same category and assume they take on the same role. And why don't we blame the thread because you don't see this as a worthy topic.
For your information, I don't blame anyone for what goes on in my life except for myself. You on the other hand, just have no idea about the real world and what goes on in it. You just ASSUME women b***h about their problems without doing anything. Just like you probably assume we are all the same in our thought patters. Wow, you are going to make some lady very happy.
It isn't your fault we are treated as second class, but you aren't helping matters. Is that how you approach problems you face in society? "Oh, it is my FAULT that happened?" Mmm, great use of logic there buddy.

souloe opinion based... I'd say guy. Guys have one role to take on. Girls have two. They have to keep their own as well as taking on a guy's role. Why do I say that? Think about it this way, is there a "force" that persuade girls to look pretty? Now also think about this. Is there another "force" that says girls and guys are equal and that what guys can do girls should too? Guy's benefits, girls too? Now with that being said, girls take on their own feminine role while having to also take on a second role to "have equality" with guys. While guys on the other hand only have one role to play. Personal opinion of course. Well, for one thing girls do have a force, if you think back, girls weren't all that pretty, and in order to get a pretty guy she would force herself into corsets, wear bird-poop on their faces just to get what they want. It's called ambition guys, and girls have. I personally think that if a guy does something and shoves it in my face I would try to beat them in some professional way. Most humans are competivie and woman can be as equally competive as men in what they want. With all the mood swings, marriage, children, being the number one mom, house keeper, and trying to keep her job. Then, I'd have to say (as an opinion) that women can have a tough time.

Hawk_McKrakken dboyzero Slippy_Pollett That's their own fault though. WE don't try and persuade them to be guy-like in order to be "equal." They do it themselves. Nobody's telling them they have to do it, so nobody's going to marvel over how much "work" they're doing trying to play both genders when nobody asked them to. I know i don't. In fact I'd prefer them to be less man-like. That's kinda creepy if you think about it, esp. if you're straight like me. Is it their fault that they've been oppressed and treated as second-class citizens for centuries? Sure, nobody's telling them to go around looking for equal footing as men, just like nobody told the blacks to go around looking for equal rights. It's not someone telling them to do something, it's them WANTING MORE FOR THEMSELVES AND FROM SOCIETY. In a world where vast sums of women are still denied basic human rights and freedoms, where even in super-power status nations women are denied equal pay or job opportunities. Is it harder to be a woman in today's world? Yes, absolutely, but not because they have to play two roles, although that's certainly a facet of the issue. It still stems from a world that does not accept women on the same level as it accepts men, and a world where you have to work and struggle twice as hard if you want to make it half as far. May not be their fault they were "oppressed" for centuries, but it's not a woman's (or ANYONE'S) place to take out their frustrations on male society as a whole. The only thing that crops out of this type of warped reasoning is female chauvinism: the belief that all men are evil rapists who oppress women, yatta-yatta. Bet our good ol' savior Jesus would just love to hear that upon his second coming. "You callin' me a rapist? Ooooh, b***h, I gonna SMITE yo' a**!" I think the broader, and all-around fairer question would be, is it OUR fault you've been treated like second-class citizens? Look, just because there are some dickheads at the top of corporations who still think women are second-rate people doesn't mean that all men think in this manner. By a "world that does not accept women on the same level as it accepts men", you must have been referring to just the corporate world. If you refer to all men, you pretty much deserve to have your innards ripped out for your overall false and grossly inane radical-feminist views. But then again, I'm just a communist, so what the hell would I know about the spirit of extreme equality? But then there's another problem, you see. You women, at some point, just sort of... gave up. You sit around and complain about how you don't get equal pay, and yet you do little or nothing to fight it. What the hell ever happened to organized protest? Did you ever stop to think that maybe it would work if the problem at hand were tackled on a countrywide scale? What you need to do is... well, do something about it rather than blame all men for it and pretend to have a harder life. It gets work done and will get y'all to stop beating a dead horse. I know I sound harsh, but good God, if I complained that a fly was bugging me and didn't get up to kill it myself, I'd sound pretty stupid complaining about it too, wouldn't I? Don't just stand around harping at men saying "oh we women have it soooo much worse than men because we're oppressed" and MAKE something of it. If you DON'T do anything to RECTIFY the PROBLEM, NOTHING will get DONE about it. Capische? This thread's a bad idea... nothing ever comes out of the "Who has it worse?" subject except for obsolete and otherwise totally incorrect reasoning, it's a breeding ground for arguments supreme. stare Can't ANYONE just get along these days without having to blame eachother for their own problems? Good ol' Slip just states his opinion ONE time, and that gets the female chauvinists hotter than who the hell knows what. You keep on saying "all women" and then tell us not to group all guys together?! You complain that women are grouping all men together, but aren't you doing the exact same thing? I think women have it harder because of another issue, though. How about having kids, huh?!

Theoretically, it's harder to be a girl. We've got the aforementioned periods (which are inconvenient in and of themselves, as well as causing cramps, headaches, moods, and leakage), menopause, reputations for being moody, biological proclivity to pregnancy, etc., as well as being the traditionally repressed sex.
Then again, I've always preferred to be a girl. It means that we work hard to get respect, but then we keep it, and in an equalizing world, it's becoming easier to get promotions. It's nice to feel pretty, and, frivolous as it sounds, to dress up. And we get to be the ones who sit back as guys ask us out and are the ones who have to have "honor"- giving up their seats, or not hitting back.
I don't know, I've always thought about this question. No one can be quite objective about it, considering.
PS I noticed, scrolling through the posts, that guys (or people with male avatars) generally think guys have it easier, and girls (or people with female avatars) generally say it's equal. That says something, doesn't it? (what it says, I'm not sure...)

I'd say, overall, being a guy is easier.
Unless you're gay. It makes things a lot more complicated (for others, that is)

i think being a guy and girl is the same.
Guys have to usually make the first move in love, which is very hard. They need to pamper their girlfriends or they'll dump him. They can't really talk to other boys (expect their best friends) cause they need to seem big, strong, and manly.
Girls have to make sure their not to easy to get and be called a slut. And if u don't do sumthing like the other girls they generally push u out. Girls are so much more cruel when it comes to grudges. they will DO anything to take u down (dont ask me how i kno) But girls have their bff to talk to anything about. but its hard because girls have other issues in life....that every girls know....but anyway,
its hard to be both a girl and guy. But girls SHOULD be treated like guys in everything. No gender is harder to be or better then the other. We need each other, for happiness.

We're fairly balanced I think. Women give birth to children, men get an enlarged prostate if they live long enough. Women get PMS once a month. Men get PMS several times a day. Women have to find a dunny to use the restroom. Men can go anywhere. Women are often emotional. Men are often emotionally challenged. Women are comfortable with themselves. Men are often very insecure, but put up a "macho" front. Women live longer. Men stay fertile longer. The list goes on and on. Bottom Line-the pros and cons end up weighing fairly equal. At least according to my count.

I'd say a girl.
If all else fails, bat your eyelashes and look cute.
I don't think we have anything to really complain about. But what do I know? I've only been one gender. blaugh
