[ Gender & Women's Studies ] Open Question : Why does everyone say being a woman is harder than being a man?
Men have WAY more expectations placed on them then women. Men are expected to do the following:
1. be rich
2. do military service (pretty much every country except America has 1-4 years of military service. Singapore has about 10 counting reserves)
3. worry about false sexual assault or rape charges
4. do everything for his wife/gf and expect nothing in return
5. work and take care of the kids and the house
Women are expected to do the following:
1. have a baby and take care of the child if she feels like it. If a woman neglects her child, its the man's fault
Women clearly have a way easier life than men. They can do nothing their entire life except sleep with guys and steal their money and that is a successful life for a woman.
