If we get laid and are working 12 hours a day we don't care about the issues in the world. This is exactly the stuff this list is trying to point out. You just called OP a loser because you think he is a male and is talking about the very real injustices in the so called gender equality.

I called the author of the list a loser and the OP said it's not him.

And this list of advantages is ridiculous. Anyone could have made a list of disadvantages that are a lot more serious than this.

Please go ahead.

Great thread and tons of great points raised by the author. Obviously I don't agree with everything and some points are repetitions, but still. It's a reality that we live in and something that all the feminists I've met could not care less about. Many of my female friends agree with some points, though.

The sad thing is that while white knights call themselves feminists and try to change things for the better for women, I've yet to see a woman fight for rights for men. Not a single one. Ever.

I have no idea how people come to the "same job" argument. Plenty of men do the same job but get different pay. Does it take into consideration experience and seniority when these studies are made? 2 people can have the same role but the number of hours out in, experience, seniority and productivity could be different.

What about men who can't get laid vs. women who can't get laid? One is a loser (like a poster in this thread said) and the other is pure.

We're being spammed with ads about how fat women are also beautiful. You don't see the same for men. Where's the "this is a beach body" ad for men?

They may be reasonable, but have you seen any of them do something for men for a change? I see women fighting for men's rights, women fighting for women's rights, but do any reasonable women do anything to better the lives of men? Anything that would make their lives harder like the draft?

Most of my friends in Cyprus lost 2 of their best years in life (18-20) to serve the Cypriot military while girls around that age had already done two years of their undegrad and were enjoying life like a 18-20 year old should. Had it been mandatory for women too maybe they'd all have to lose a single year of their lives and woulnd't feel as bad. But you know how many women have suggested that? Well, none (to my knowledge).

There is a massive difference between words and deeds. Actions speak louder than words and men try to fix inequality with actions, not just "yeah, the army sucks" meaningless statements.

Yes, but not for the reasons you think. Most men would feel embarassed to say they'd choose to be women and most women are under the impression that men have it easy. Plus no one would judge women if they said so and wouldn't suspect that they're closeted lesbians.

The analysis that most people quote with regards to the wage gap myth is from the Bureau of Labor statistics, which does not control for things like occupations, positions, education, job tenure, or hours worked per week.  In fact, the BLS analysis uses a baseline of 35 hours a week as a 'Full-Time' job, however, most of us are accustomed to working 40+ hours a week.  Which is why when actual economists look at the data, they come up with a much, much different interpretation of the data than the pseudo-scientists out there:

Wow this list comes of as butthurt and whiny. Not to mention that a lot of these are just factually wrong (At least where I live), or easily reversable.

I love how he was obviously shooting for a 100 and couldn't quite think of the final three reasons though.
