Well I can't speak for everybody but I'm female and I've never had anything "handed to me" on a plate simply because I'm a woman.I've been working since I was 13, I reared 3 kids without much in the way of practical or fiscal supports and worked just as hard if not harder than any man I've ever had as a co-worker simply because I was sole breadwinner for my family.

I'm sure men have it rough but I don't consider the issues associated with women ie: menstration and reproduction a walk in the park and now facing the physical hell of menopause ,age discrimination and being viewed as "fugly" and "useless" simply because I'm not 20 anymore, I dare say being a woman is tougher.
 
Guys don't have anything difficult except when it comes to dealing with women. So by default, women win... they at least have to deal with pain a few days per month. They have to deal with emotional stress (of course it's natural). They have to deal with discrimination, or thoughts of it at the very least. What do guys do ? We don't give @ true sh!t about any of it. How do we have it harder ?

90% of those problems women inflict upon themselves. Who's fault is it for wearing high heels? Who's idea is it to put on makeup before going out in public? Who's fault is it that split ends is such a big deal?

First of all, guys hate when a b!tch lets herself slide... (that was a funny quote from a movie, btw). Women need to try and look good. Just look at comments made at un-kept women, on this forum alone.

Regardless - doesn't matter - guys have it harder how ?

White males have affirmative action working against them. I haven't done anything wrong, I didn't own slaves or discriminate in the 1950's, yet when I go to get a job I can't check a box that would give me a bonus. I have 2 things working against me- I'm not a woman, and I'm not a minority. According to affirmative action practices, a woman, a minority, or especially a minority woman should get the job before me. I thought the point was to hire based on ability alone? If you're using metrics that take race and gender into account, then it's definitely not a fair hiring practice. Let the individual's performance do the talking.

This IS discrimination in the current age to make up for things in the past, and it's not right. Discrimination based on race/gender wasn't right then, and it's not right now. Don't punish the current generation for something that they did not do.

Being an asian male in this day and age is really easy. A lot of things are assumed and I am given the benefit of the doubt in some situations. I hardly face racism as an adult (at least not here in NY).

This is ATOT, don't take it to heart 😛 That said, saying males have it harder doesn't make one a mysogynist.

The same can be said for guys too - women don't like guys that don't keep clean hygiene, unshaven face, uncut hair, dresses messy, or isn't fit. I'm not talking about personal maintenance, but rather accumulating wealth, status, achieving dreams and goals.

And for starts, lets take a look job demographics:

Engineers, doctors, lawyers - mainly male dominated.
Skilled labor, grunt labor - again, mainly male dominated.

Nurses, human resources, secretaries, accounting - mainly female dominated.

Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, but which type of jobs do you think is more stressful, both in and out of the workplace? Doctors have to be on-call every day, and engineers have to work outside work hours to meet project deadlines. Skilled labor, grunt labor - requires one to be physically strong.

Now take a look at nurses (and human resources, secretaries)- yes, sometimes they deal with life threatening situations, but outside their 9-5 work hours, but very little of their daily job carries over to the next day.

Name me a gorgeous looking women (besides actresses and models) that has accumulated wealth through her job and/or holds a prestigious position. Then name me a gorgeous women who has married a wealthy man.

 
depends how good looking you are.

good looking guy - life is good.
good looking girl - life is good
ugly girl - life is good if youre a slut
ugly guy - youre fvcked.
