No but ive read a lot about this topic, add in statistics, and there is a reason men suicide and depression rates are higher. Men carry a heavier burden than women do the way society and gender differences are structured. Naturally, not artifically like leftist say.
Without knowing the details of these studies, you have to wonder if they account for emotional differences.
Is it possible that women have more emotional strength while men have more physical strength?
Or could it be because men are so heavily discouraged from expressing/releasing their emotions?
To imply that one sex has it harder than another only detracts from everyone's difficulties.
Men have it hard, that's undeniable, but to imply that women don't have it equally hard in today's society is ignorant.
Typically, men are expected to work a job, repair things around the home, tend the lawn, possibly repair cars. There could absolutely be more, but I'm not a man so I don't know the intricacies.
Typically, women are expected to work a job (at least in this economy), clean the house, do the laundry, cook the food, do the grocery shopping, and raise the children which comes with a laundry list of subtasks (cleaning them, feeding them, cleaning up after them, teaching them, entertaining them, taking them to school, picking them up, taking them to appointments and extra curriculars). And in all fairness, they're expected to look good on top of it all, including maintaining a figure after giving birth.
Even if you remove the job requirement, that's a lot for one person's plate.
A man can't know how a woman feels about her burden, nor can a woman know how a man feels about his.
But if you, a man (I'm assuming) are complaining that men have it too hard, and I, a woman, am complaining that women also have it too hard, it seems much less like a gendered issue and much more like a societal one.
Which is part of what this movement should be striving to correct, and that includes altering our perceptions of the opposite sex and whether or not they suffer as much as we do, and why would want them to in the first place.
Agree, but let's be fair here - there's plenty of criticism from the men, too.
Being a guy is super tough. Tougher than being a chick. Pretty sure thats why alot of them wanna be women, but then they half ass that too.
So you’ve been both and can say that for sure?
