Forums - Politics - 97 Advantages of being female

Any thread on advantages of being male? ;)

Male advantages are biological (generally being taller, faster, stronger, no periods, no childbirth). Men don't have advantages in terms of rights or privileges over women. but women do, their advantages are afforded to them by the state as well as also having biological advantages (not going bald, no rapid facial hair growth, stronger immune system, living longer)

Having a dick trumps all female advantages... I don't need government and lobbist providing for me.

Not having to push a ten pound baby from in between their legs is a pretty fair advantage I'd say. Men dominate positions of power most of the time too, we run the political, economic, and media by and large in every country in the world. Men run the world. 

Yes women get a few perks here and there, but nothing that I as a man would want to trade my position for theirs. Even being an attractive woman ... that all goes to shit once your looks go or someone prettier than you steps into the room. 

But as a man ... as long as you don't sit around whining all day and build a successful life, you can be 50/60/70 and still be the belle of the ball. 

Look at movies even, actors like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt and many others are still allowed to be successful leading men into their 50s+ ... but most actresses are dumped to the side of the road after 40 (really more like 35). 

 

women are not forced to have children that is a choice that is up to them to make 

 

" Men dominate positions of power " "Men run the world"

how is that an advantage for you an average man who i assume holds no position of power?

does the fact that men have positions of power mean that you get more tax breaks?

are you given special incentives?

no actually the vast majority of concessions go the way of women... this is why for example they currently are dominating in education 

 

"But as a man ... as long as you don't sit around whining all day and build a successful life, you can be 50/60/70"

 

you aren't explaining how this differs for women who as far as i know can apply themselves and become successful just like any man can and do so routinely

 

"Look at movies even"

 

not a good example since movies and who becomes successful in movies is all about public perception and regardless there are examples like meryl streep

It's easier for you as a man to get into institutions of power provided you're willing to do work. Politics, economy, media are primarily controlled by men, if you want to break into those areas, no one bats an eyelash, but as a woman you likely will get tested more or have more assumptions thrown at you (ie: you're weak, not tough enough, men won't respect your authority, etc.). 

Men aren't "forced" to do anything, most of the things men complain about, they're not "forced" into, so complaining that a good looking girl gets into a nightclub before you do for example ... no one's exactly holding a gun to your head to go to the club. And there is considerable societal pressure on women to have children, in fact its drilled into them over and over again by family and society that they have a "ticking clock". Guys can goof around in their 20s and well into their 30s and it's just "oh guys being guys" ... but there's much more pressure on a woman to get her "shit together" relationship wise earlier IMO. 

I don't as a man have to worry about my body dramatically changing after we have kids either. No thanks ladies ... I'll keep my dick, you can keep your token "advantages" like being maybe one of the 5-10% of good looking women that get some benefit like being able to get out of the odd speeding ticket. 

There's no short cut in life, no one really gets anything for free, if you're going to sit around and whine that you can't make it life because X/Y/Z is holding you back you're never going to get anywhere, I don't care if you're a woman, man, white, black, asian, brown, whatever. 

"It's easier for you as a man to get into institutions of power provided you're willing to do work."

discrimination based on gender is against the law, but yes i concede that obviously there are situations that will slip through the cracks 

the point is that we are at a point where i would say women are pretty much on an equal position to obtain these positions should they choose to.... and this is the most pertinent point "should they choose to"

 

"Men aren't "forced" to do anything, most of the things men complain about, they're not "forced" into, so complaining that a good looking girl gets into a nightclub before you do for example"

i agree but i didn't bring this up

 

"there is considerable societal pressure on women to have children"

its about the same for men... there is equal pressure on both men and women to pair bond and have children which should be obvious since the production of children requires both parties

 

" Guys can goof around in their 20s and well into their 30s and it's just "oh guys being guys" ... but there's much more pressure on a woman to get her "shit together" relationship wise earlier IMO. "

well i disagree maybe if we were talking about the 1950s but not in this current era


"I don't as a man have to worry about my body dramatically changing after we have kids either."

when i spoke of advantages i was reffering to social, political and economic advantages not biological advantages because those go without saying

 

"There's no short cut in life, no one really gets anything for free, if you're going to sit around and whine that you can't make it life "

good so maybe people should stop attempting to coddle women like children so they can legitimately show the strength they possess

There are no rights that men have that women don't. Of course men do better in buissness and dominate higher paid professions because men have a superior work ethic and there are far more men with extremely high IQ's than women, so men found and build companies and invent almost everything. It's not the fault of men that they're more creative and produce more geniuses, that is the result of evolution.

You know....while there may be (and there is) some grains of truth in many of those....

It really seems like the author/poster/whoever....has some serious issues with females in general.

And just like I tell extreme feminists, you cannot fight bigotry with bigotry, nor ignorance with ignorance.

I do not consider myself a feminist, but I am HUGE on equality. The only reason I do not self-identify as "feminist", is specifically because there are far too many "feminists" who have tried to hijack the movement and turn it into this ugly, hateful thing that actually IS about man-hating, about being pro-woman, and putting females OVER males. And that is not equality.

If you want real equality, to me, want REAL, full equality. 100% equal treatment, for everyone, period.

Black Lives Matter, feminism, and LGBTQ all took the same route.

 

It's quite annoying honestly, especially when people think it's fine to heavily insult a group of people, but cry if someone makes one joke against you.

I'm female and i have privileges because of that, not complaining :)

Lol what? Yes IQ slightly favors men on average, work ethic where do you get that from? Quite the opposite
They say in the reports: Women tend to work harder. Women with the same IQ as men achieve more "possibly because they are more conscientious and better adapted to sustained periods of hard work.
http://www.iqtestexperts.com/iq-better.php

Who is assigning blame to men for having a alightly higher iq on average. Does that excuse their privileges?
Not that those lists are much better than the one in the op, yet justifying a male dominated world on a 3 to 5 point higher iq average?

Men more creative http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/news/releases/men-more-likely-to-be-seen-as-creative-thinkers.html
In examining the supervisors’ evaluations, the researchers found, once again, that male executives tended to be judged as more innovative than their female counterparts were. However, when rated by their direct reports, these same male and female executives were rated as similarly innovative in their thinking. The authors interpreted this pattern of ratings as evidence of stereotyping on the part of the supervisors, as previous research has shown that those in relatively higher power positions are more likely to rely on stereotypes when forming judgments about others.
No provilege there at all...

WTF. The so called wage gap was partially explained because men work more hours, work more overtime and take fewer holidays, These are government statistics so how the hell did you come to that conclusion? Who do you think built your villages, towns, cities, country and all its infastructure and utilities?

One more thing if men are seen as being more creative don't you think there is a reason behind this thought, I don't know maybe like the entire history of human civilisation.
