Women have it easier then men.

C1) Even with the advent of feminism, most women still don't have to earn a career and work. When men don't have a career they are considered a loser. If a woman meets a man and says "What do you do for a living, what are you trting to get into?" and the man says "I just want to be a good husband and housewife.", he will be assumed to be a loser. Women can answer that same question with the same answer and it is still considered acceptable. Since in the developed world, women control who they marry and the choice is basically theirs, this leaves a man with almost no choice but to pursue something. In other words, society expects and requires men to work (sometimes just to survive), while it doesn't ask that of woman. Even the ugliest woman can still find a man. He may not be up to her standards but the point is that she will be supported at least in the most minimal way and survive. There will always be a man out there willing to suppprt a woman, but the same cannot be said for men. Women turn down multiple advances from men every single day. On the average, a woman is juggling multiple courtships. The choice women have alone is enough to warrant my claim as being true. C2) Women do not have to fight in wars. In America, they do not have to register for Selective Service. They aren't required to make the ultimate sacrifice in developed countries. When women become police, not only are their fitness exams made easier for them so they can pass(1), but their roles are limited to non life-threatening situations for the most part. Police forces don't let female officers go into dangerous situations alone, and when fighting they evade until the male officers bail them out. Their physical labor is reduced in careers like this. They may be relegated to mostly desk work, or in the police department writing tickets and such...yet they get paid the same in police force, fire department and in the Army as the men do. Construction jobs, mining, working in wearhouses and other physically demanding careers leave men with injuries and problems as they get older. Men on average work longer hours, more dangerous and physically demanding jobs, and live shorter lives.(2) C3) Women have legal jobs to fall back on in hard times that don't require education or connections. Stripping and prostution (when legal) are ways to survive and make quick money that for the most part aren't available to men unless they are extremely good looking, well-endowed and perform well in bed. Women get divorced, and win everything from the man even including future social security earnings, retirement plans, stocks and bonds, the car, house etc. In some states, men have to pay alimony for life or even after the woman gets remarried, gains a career, or is otherwise able to support herself.(3) So after divorce, women still recieve the same or sometimes better benefits compared to what she had from the marriage, but men don't. Men lose the household work, the cooking, the smaller second supplemental income the woman may of had and many other things. C4) Sex is regarded as based on the mans performance. I for one know this isn't true, but it is perfectly acceptable for a woman to just lay there. All the pressure is on the man to satisfy the woman, and in relationship situations help maintain a healthy and good sexual relationship. Women simply lack this same pressure. C5) Chivalry. Because of this phenomena, women are simply expected less to do things. People are easier on you, and do favors for you just because you are a woman. We buy the drinks, we pay for dinner, we ask you out on to the date, basically everything relies on us. All a woman has to do in terms of dating is say yes to the date and show up, and that is acceptable. It is not up to her as much as it is up to man in terms of how fun and exciting it will be. C6) Men are supposed to do a things dangerous. Protect you from burglarers, protect the children, rescue you from anything. We are the ones who are supposed to risk our lives. The man's life is valued and placed much lower then a woman's. This is why woman and children are saved first. C7) The law is easier on women. Women are convicted less and on average are given lighter sentences.(4)(5) In Great Britain there was a plan on shutting down all women's prisons and sending the inmates to rehabilitation programs work release, or small secure units close to home etc.(6)(7) Since men and women make up 50% of the world each, how is it plausible that men make up such a larger proportion of inmates. All courts are biased towards women. Divorce court, family court are two examples of where women make up the far majority of victors and men face a bias.(8) Courts in many countries are biased against shared parenting and custody cases.(9)(10) Domestic violence in the West is almost equal, yet men make up an overwhelmingly larger amount of convictions.(11)(12) C8) Women are afforded better and more social services available and there is typically more help for women such as single mothers, then their are for single fathers. Women are the majority welfare recipients. Women have gender scholarships, charity aid, hotlines and numerous groups which give to women only and promote increased social welfare but not the same increase for men. This and the fact most women in the developed world have the choice whether they want to embark on a career or not, is why there are more homeless men then women. C9) Young single women in almost all big cities in America and in other countries are now on average outearning their male counterparts.(13)(14) The U.S has slightly more female managers then men. The higher it goes the less women their are, but this can be accounted to women wanting less time consuming and stressful jobs or bowing out of the workforce in order to start or raise their families. C10) The working man on average misses out on valuable time to bond with his children. Being a housewife, especially with no children is an infinitely easier job then working 50 hours a week. 90% of child custody cases are awarded to the woman.(15) Fatherhood is just simply not valued as much as motherhood. Women control visitation rights and in all ways family law is on their side. They have the ability to move away and start a new life with YOUR child, something a man would get charged with kidnapping for. Women also have the power to get or not get an abortion regardless of what the man has to say in the matter, even though it is his kid too. Yes, the woman is the one giving birth to it, but most likely the man will be paying for it whether they stay together or split. Woman will get sutomatic custody because a lot of places have out of wedlock custody laws which award to women by default, and she can even use this as a meal ticket, find a new boyfriend with a job, and still get child support...all while denying you visitation.
