Men have easier life than women

Ladies and gentlemen. Let me continue in this thrilling debate on the topic that "Men have easier life than women". Now I am going to respond to the points my opponent brought: 1. Not all women experience child birth, not all women work at home and not all women care about being good eye candy to males. Right. I would like to point out that not all men endure physical labor. Just imagine the number of businessmen dining in expensive restaurants, the number of scientists (mostly males) who sit in front of their computers all days long. You can't just say "Most of men endure physical labor. " You weren't saying that? At least now it seemed as if that was what you actually meant. 2. World is not becoming more and more civilized? Pardon me? Technology, international treaties and alliances, people traveling to space. .. isn't that "civilization"? Wars are fought. They have always been. Luckily, there is no "world war" at the moment. Basically, it's not like millions of men are dying on a battlefield. (Fortunately! ) The number of men dying is most probably the lowest in our history. That's what "civilization" means. (Alliances, treaties, diplomacy! ) 3. Perfect. If they want sex, then they shouldn't be moaning that they have to work out to impress women enough. They work out because of THEIR needs, not because of the needs of women. Therefore, we can regard it as THEIR choice and THEIR problem. 4. Aren't we debating globally? . .Whatever. We do make progress in medical science but you never have 100% sureness that the woman will survive the child birth. Now even nowadays. There's the human factor. Psychical health of the woman. And so on and on. Giving birth is never 100% safe. You can't disprove THAT. Women can avoid getting pregnant. At least in developed countries. What would that lead to, if women in all developed countries refused to give birth? Women are aware of this fact and therefore, they realize that some of them simply have to give birth. 5. I also though that this is "funny debate" meaning "not using statistics". Whatever. There are women that do not experience the period - but still MOST of ordinary women still do experience them. And that periods mean pain is - I hope - quite clear to you. To sum it up - my opponent wasn't able to disprove the basic pillars of my argument - most women do have to experience the period and can never be sure whether child birth is 100% safe. Furthermore, it really hurts. Since men don't have give birth and don't have periods (means that they don't have to stand as much pain as women do), the motion stands. Let's move to the next argument that "Men have easier life than women because they aren't supposed to be looking after the household". 1. , 2. It looks as if we got our wires crossed. I have never said that "most women don't go to work and just after the household". What I meant and still mean is that "most women go to work AND APART FROM THAT they HAVE TO LOOK AFTER the HOUSEHOLD". Men as single parents. Great point, Sir. And women can't be single parents? This role is difficult for both sexes, which is why I didn't add it to my arguments earlier. I would like to point out that if you - as a man - cope with the women's lowing pay job and poor housework abilities, it is still your choice. You don't have to live with such a woman. You can leave her. .and then do everything yourself, no one can prohibit you to do so. Still, those many many women who go to work (no matter how well-paid it may be, it's still a JOB) and apart from that have to look after the household, definitely have more difficult lives than men. The motion stands. 3. As I stated above, I still believe that most women both go to work and then look after the household - so I basically agree that going to work is not always fun, but when you add those extra "working hours" at home. .. Then it's definitely exhausting. For women, since it's usually THEM looking after the household. When we take into account that women have to do these both activities, then we realize that men have easier lives. Therefore, the motion stands. Moving to the third argument that "Men have easier life than women because they don't have to look after themselves as much as women do". 1. And why do men build muscle mass? Why do they need muscles in 21st century when there are machines doing hard work (cranes for example)? They want to impress women! And why? Because they want to have sex with them! (Look at point 3 in argument 1. ) 2. I am claiming that MOST of women do care about how they do look like. Why? Because most of the men care. Got the point? As I already said before (and I am really trying hard not to repeat myself all the time) - women 'have to' look good since they want the ability of choosing the best partner for their (prospective) children. If women don't look after themselves, they simply lose this ability. They can't choose. (How many rich and powerful men would marry corpulent woman when they can choose from more beautiful ones who want them? ). That is definitely true, ladies and gentlemen. So they are on diets (or work out) - which is always trouble - they shave, wear make-up etc. , etc. Men don't have to do these things (apart from working out - if they want to impress women and have sex with them - meaning 'fulfill their own needs' (=needs of those men)). Since men don't have to do these things, they have easier lives. Therefore, this argument stands. And the motion as well. 2c. Yes - if a woman has this need - most people will still look at her as she was doing something 'weird'. If men do this, it is usually 'tolerated'. Got the point? Men have it easier. Even this.
