Men have easier life than women

Hmm, I was going to pull out the "big guns", but since my opponent has expressed the desire to simply have a "fun debate", I'll go ahead and accept many of her erroneous generalizations of society. In this debate, my only objective is to disprove the topic. Ergo, I can argue that women have an easier life than men or that at the very least, both have an equal burden in life. RE Definitions: I shall accept this definition. Now, let us proceed carefully. RE: 1: "Men have easier life than women because they don't have to stand as much pain as women do" Although it's true that men don't have periods nor do they experience child birth, this isn't really sufficient reason to conclude that women have it easier. After all, it is a fact that men generally have regularly endure far more physical labor in their lives than women. Whether it be doing construction work, fighting in wars, doing police work or working out alot just to PLEASE women, men end up coping with pain far moreso than women DAILY. Thus, whereas women may experience some pain everyone once in a while, it is the men who have to experience it quite regularly. Given that my opponent argues under the notion that women have it tough because they have to stay at home, I'm sure she won't be able to provide an effective argument here. In addition, child birth is actually an advantage as woman have the most control over our species' population. RE: 2 Men have easier life than women because they aren't supposed to be looking after the household. Usually, I would have problems with the second part of this claim, but since accepting it works well for my argument, I will agree that women are supposed to be looking after the household. That said, from experience, I submit that looking after the household is not a difficult task. Honestly now, what's so difficult about cleaning a couple of rooms, washing the dishes, making dinner, and taking care of some children (just turn on spongebob, give them some juice, and they'll practically take care of themselves)(who will eventually be attending schools throughout most of the day anyway)? Big deal. All of the aforementioned jobs take no more than two hours to complete for a capable individual. All in all, a piece of cake. On the other hand, men have it harder. Whereas a women could simply watch TV and relax in between handling the aforementioned house tasks, men get no such breaks. Besides the physical labor for many jobs we have to take into consideration that men have little time to relax during most jobs, are more pressured (since it is them bringing home the bacon which allows for women to be able to take care of a house in the first place) and generally work under an employer (whereas women who stay home and take care of their homes are their own boss, thus can work at their own convenience). So honestly, the mere fact that men may decide to go to a pub every once in a while (something which a women could very well do while the man is at work) is utterly meaningless given the amount of slack women have in general. RE 3. Men have easier life than women because they don't have to look after themselves as much as women do" Men may not have to shave their legs, but unlike women, they need to work out and keep themselves well groomed. Since PRO makes a clear that physical irritation is indeed a means of demonstrating which side has it harder, this point obviously goes to me given that men often need to work out to impress women. And honestly, working out is a pain in the butt. Surely merely having to shave your legs, tear their eye browes and wearing makeup isn't as tedious as pumping iron quite regularly. At least the former doesn't leave you sore for a week. In addition, I shall submit a rather interesting line of thought which I found on the imdb boards dictated by a user who goes by the name of br0ck.: QUESTION: Why do you males have a problem with the female whores? RESPONSE: The reason is, quite frankly, because guys have to work harder in life to get laid than women do. At least 95% of single women out there can still get laid any time they want, where as for single guys id say its more like 25%. its so easy on women its almost comical, a woman could walk up to a crowd of strangers and say "I want sex" and at least one guy would comply.. a woman can go to a bar and have 5+ guys trying to pick her up, or go online and get dozens of guys trying to meet them IRL. All women have to do is spread their legs and they get sex any time they want, if a guy tries the same tings people will think eh's weird and possibly call the cops on him. THAT is why when a woman sleeps around a lot shes a slut, cause she is showing no self control and abusing her privileges. It takes no effort on her part, where as a guy has to work hard to be a 'male slut'. The burden of courtship still rests almost entirely on males even for one night stands, we have to impress women with our looks, money, personality, etc. before she agrees to have sex with us, again all a woman has to do is spread her legs, she could be a 400 pound slob with no teeth living in a trailer with their family, and still have men willing to have sex with her. Where as for a guy to be able to pick up women any time they want they generally have to work out in a gym regularly, have a good job, drive a nice car, have a average or better sized penis, dress nice, wear cologne, have a place of their own to take the woman back to, pay for dinner and possibly more before getting to the sex, etc. Do you get it yet? Its a double standard that has existed for a long time.. in the single world, men have such low standards that women are the ones who get to do almost all of the sexual selection. Therefore a man who gets selected for sex by a lot of women probably has things going for him in his life and is attractive, charming, wealthy, etc. On the other hand a woman doesn't need any of those characteristics to have a lot of sex, all she has to do is spread her legs, cause there will always be a man willing to lower his standards and do her. Hence women who sleep around are usually just sluts with no self control, where as men who get a lot of "action" are doing alright in life and taking advantage of their success." Indeed, the point being made is that women have an easier time getting laid than men do. From all of this, we can come to one of two conclusions: Conclusion A: Both men and women have it hard just as they both have it easy. The benefits and negatives to being either sex balances out. Conclusion B: Men have it harder than women. With either conclusion, you would be obligated to vote CON. And that'll do it for now. Due to being really tired, I elaborate (if necessary) on any of the above points made during the next round. Later
