IMO in a developed country, it is easier to be a woman seeing as how you can marry a rich man and live a simple domestic life if you chose not to pursue any careers. Developing countries are a different problem where women abuse is rampant like in many arab countries where women are almost oppressed.
A woman can get by entirely on looking good; no job, no education, just looks (trophy wife). That isn't really an option for dudes. wstfld
Yeah, people like Kim Kardashin and Kendra Wilkinson come to mind. But then again, think about things in a corporate atmosphere. Women are not treated with as much respect with men and dare I say, they are not taken as seriously.
It's easier to be a man, IMO. Better job opportunities and better control over your own destiny. The world is sexist.

Yeah, when was the last time a women was elected the president of the United States of America? Then again, brainless bimbos such as Paris Hilton can get by just by being hawt, making sex tapes and modelling clothing targeted at the other pretentious (and dirty rich) socialites.
Depends on several factors. Where you live What time period you live Economic status a women that is poor is not the same as a women with a wealthy upbringing. This being considered In the United States of America in the Year 2010, with the same economic status it's easier to be a woman.

Some women can get by that way, but it's in a defined role. They have less power to choose their own destiny.

Overall a man, a woman depends on her looks, considering even in developed countries they get less pay for the same work and are more likely to get skipped on job promotions/opportunities (this is where the looks come in) I think it goes to men.

I doubt anyone would deny the truth in these words. :P
Who knows? The expectations society puts on both genders can be pretty unrealistic - men are expected to be strong, in charge and not victims to their emotions (otherwise they're seen as weak/homosexual or some such); women are expected to behave "appropriately", look good and be faithful (an ironic double standard given that men who sleep around are given a little leeway).
Sporty men are likely to be declared macho, sporty women will be viewed as potential lesbians; men who spend too much time on their appearance are often considered self-absorbed or vain, women who do so are considered normal and/or beautiful.
I think we all muddle by as best we can. Both genders have thousands of years of cultural heritage to compete with...
in developed countries...I'd say that being a woman its easier...I mean being a cute woman, because if you are some sort of camel with 2 legs then you will certainly have it harder...im not talking about a HURRR DURR dumb blonde either...you can be an intelligent woman who studies and all, but in society if you are a cute girl...you will a bunch of friends and a bunch of guys chasing you
A man. I would rather have limitless boundaries than be able to get by on looks and have to deal with all the social restrictions. -player v slut -glass ceiling -token promotions -giving birth -etc. Besides, no guarantee you would be a beautiful woman...then your life would double suck
I'd always wondered if my life would be easier as a man. I decided that it may be easier, but less fun.

The expectation to always be beautiful sounds like a lot of pressure, no?
I personally believe a woman has it much easier than us men. For example the phrase 'man up' means for us to stop being cowards and do something. And it means us men. We are supposed to protect our women, and provide for out families.
I would be very disappointed :PYou could switch roles, that way it wouldn't be so bad. Me and my alter ego do it all of the time =) I already posted here that I have no interest in being a woman...at all Though 'role-play' can always be fun

Defiantlyeasier to be a women. Us men have to be on the constant lookout for people trying to kick us in the nads. Chick's don't have to worry about that.
Each gender has inherent difficulties and to say one is greater than the other is flawed due to the nature of these very different challenges, not to mention the fact that it would only serve to trivialize the other sex.

Western misrepresentation of the orientals are just ridiculous. When will people wake up and try to see the world from the perspective of other people? You rely too much on the media and literature for information. I bet that if you are open-mind and go live with them for a year, your opinion of them will change.
