sounds like you already made up your mind.

since i’m the first to respond, i’ll state the obvious (because that is a perk of being the first to respond… and because i can). men don’t give birth, unless you count this guy, but even he won’t have to squeeze it out of a chute centimeters wide.

and he’s not really a guy! Well now he is, but was born a women. I agree with allie. Women. At times a mix of both, though..

Men don’t have to worry about being attacked/assaulted while walking to their car late at night, the majority of men don’t have to worry about being raped, men generally are not on the receiving end of spousal abuse.

Men can be considered to become more handsome as they get older while women have to fight every sign of aging lest they become a “hag.”

When a woman is angry she’s considered a “bitch” or must be “PMSing” but when a man gets angry about something it obviously must be for a good reason.

I think its pretty much equal. Its up to each gender to make their lives what it is. All in all, after everything is balanced and critiqued, I’m sure it’s just about dead even. Because in the end, every advantage is also a disadvantage in the right (or wrong) circumstance.

one the one hand I would give up monthly periods in a heart beat. On the other hand, having bigger breasts makes certain things easier in life.

Either way I think attractive people tend to have it better than the rest.

I think it really does depend on the person itself if I have to choose I’d say men are slightly much better than women(talking about kindness

I completely agree with spargett.
and just to throw this out there, women don’t get drafted.
