It just seems to me that many or rather, most aspects of life are twisted in favour of women.
From what i observed, an exceptionally good-looking guy would not seem to get the same level of attention from others as a pretty girl.
And though homosexuality is still frowned upon in some countries and American states, it seems okay for lesbians to display their affection for each other in public but not for gays.
No...no...no...no. Definitely not. The only sex crimes men have to worry about are occasionally from gay men...and that's extroardinarily rare comparatively...and it's usually only offensive rather than actually being a danger. I love being a guy (even a short, skinny guy) and being able to walk through dark, urban areas late at night without a care in the world, so long as I'm not carrying cash. I go jogging after midnight sometimes too. It's perfectly safe. I would have a heart attack if my sister did that.
Well...regarding lesbians displaying affection, stop complaining about that, or you'll ruin it for the rest of us.
Regarding sexual harassment though...all it takes is one schizophrenic, male-hating female loon, to ruin the lives of several innocent people. Unfortunately...if we don't go merely by someone's word...how would anyone be caught? Men have more rules we need to pay attention to, which can be a pain.
Socially...women definitely get more attention than men, for little to no useful input...even for the ones who are only moderatly good looking.
In serious relationships, there are lots of verbally and physically abusive men, but then there are lots of women who eat through money like popcorn buying useless trinkets, and while there are probably not nearly so many physically abusive women as physically abusive men, there are a few verbally abusive female partners.
There are probably lots of career-related difficulties women have that men don't. I don't know what they are.
Also, we can urinate standing up, don't have a time-limit for when we can have children, don't experience the birthing process, don't have menopause, and don't have periods every month. Yipee!
I'm going to go all in and bet that you're a man. A straight one. Probably single/no kids. Possibly white. Age maybe 25-35. If I was playing with house money I'd add: lower to mid-middle class, works at a sub-management but post-entry level position, lives in an apartment complex or condo, drives a used Asian sedan but is yearning to buy something flashier.
This thread is for drawing vague assumptions out of the air, right?
I think a valid and convincing argument could be made in either direction. In lots of ways guys have it easier. In lots of ways women have it easier. I think it balances out honestly.
The "easiness" scale tilts in favor of women. With feminism, they've gotten to retain all of the chivalry from the Eisenhower era with the added perks of the Gloria Steinem era.

And of course, the list goes on....
So what's your take?
I disagree completely.....an exceptionally good looking guy most certainly would get a high level of attention...too much in my opinion.......I think some people will frown on any gay persons (female or male) displaying effection in public....I don't particularly find it appealing when a couple (man and woman) are all over each other in public either.....woman are more than not the ones who are abandoned and left to raise the children alone...and then if she needs a job to support her family...she has to find some kind of childcare that she can trust......where I live...no matter how many years a woman has been teller at a bank...there's a young man being trained for manager(never saw him at the tills) wonder why that is???...just a few more to go with the others....
It is easier for woman when they are younger- It is still a youth orientated society and woman are still valued when they are vital...when they get older life becomes more difficult and protection and privilege grow less. Men have it harder when they are young- but it is easier for them when they are older...It might be that old men are more respected than little old ladies..A man can fake being strong as they age. A woman who is older especially a single old woman who is alone through divorce or widowhood - have trouble hiding their fear and apprehension.

My take? Most men cry over a stubbed toe. Try childbirth and ask again.

I agree with all of this. And the fact is, if we are alone, we are probably not making the kind of money a man would, and many of us cannot afford to own homes. It's hard to feel financially secure.

I'll bet you dollars to donuts that, in many professional places with an unpublished wage scale, a married woman or even an unmarried woman, makes more than an unmarried man for the same job. There are plenty of articles on the web that attest to this.
