I did not watch the video. I hate cartoon presentations. Just show me the data.

For many things men do have it easier. On average men are bigger and stronger (duh) and can open a jar of pickles or change a tire with no issues. Many women just don't have the strength to do the tasks of day to day living men do with ease.

That and we are way smarter, and we always look good even without makeup!

Sadly, it's not a cartoon. It's 17 minutes of some random, bearded dude walking through the woods and talking to himself. And I don't know what his conclusion was, because I'm not going to watch 17 minutes of some random, bearded dude walking in the woods and talking to himself

Cliff notes? I made it about 5 minutes in.

And I don't think he's going to provide an answer in 17 minutes. lol

The current 18-30 year old men can change a tyre? The exception, rather than the rule I would guess.

Maybe for some. My nephew came through this area on his way to a new job in a new state. We were happy to have him for a couple of days. Zero doubt he could change a tire. He had a business as a kid of dragging home every lawn mower other people put on the curb for big trash day. He would fix them up, and sell them. At one point he had 17 mowers. Some people would offer him less than his asking price and he would not budge on price. He always sold them for full price.

My brother taught him how to take apart just about anything and fix it.

True, but women also have advantages. When was the last time bursting into tears earned you instant sympathy and absolution from the issue at hand? When was the last time that you acted cute or flirty or suggestive to get what you wanted? Heck, I noticed last night that when my two-month-old daughter wants something, she starts making cute faces as I get closer to doing/getting what she wants and will burst into tears when I'm on the wrong track.

OMG !!! You are in trouble!

Women have it far easier than men in today's world. They dont need to open pickle jars or change tires, they simply have men do everything for them. They reap the benefits of full equality while cherry picking which parts of that equality they want. In any dire situation its women and children first. You wont hear a women ask for equality in extreme situations. Men are expected to die for women which is why you often hear about the man taking a bullet for his girlfriend "of two months" as in the Las Vegas shootings. The headlines often read " hero MAN saves dozens" Men are expected to give up their seat, open doors, pay for dinner, do the dirty jobs, investigate the noise from downstairs in the middle of the night. I can go on and on. Women have it far easier than men in todays world.

In this world of blurring lines about the responsabilities of each sex (not including the gender confused), it's impossible to know what is expected of a man. Try holding a door open for a feminist, but then recieve hateful stares for not offering your seat to a poor damsel on the bus, or subway. Women can pretty much choose what they want to do, and say, but God forbid a man do that.

yes.

no period, not bat**** crazy by default, content with a face full of nice tits and a good meal....just all around easier being a man.

I'm not sure what the answer is, however, maybe this sheds some light on the answer:

In the U.S., life expectancy was 73.4 years for males and 80.1 years for females, a difference of 6.7 years, whereas in France it was 7.8 years and in the U.K., 5.3 years. The discrepancy was much greater in some countries, with the difference in Russia reaching more than 12 years, but in others, such as India (0.6 year) or Bangladesh (0.1 year), it was much less.

probably related to the necessity of women getting a job.

Yes I am. But at least I picked up on it at two months. I'm also hoping the two older brothers will makes things easier/help dad out some.

And they look better in makeup!

This will be a discussion forevermore, don't think there is an outstanding advantage either way. Each sex has advantages and disadvantages, up to the individual use the advantages they were born with.

I have a female friend/coworker who would describe herself as a feminist. Oh man, her expectations change by the minute. One day she'll snap at me for holding a door for her, the next day she'll snap at me for not holding the door. One day she told me that she would call me to check out scary noises in her house. One day she snapped at me for offering to check out scary noises in her house.

This. And both have people that chose to be victims of their gender and lash out, feel sorry for themselves, or only see their disadvantages.

Boomers: Think of how much money we could make/save by selling new cars without spare tires!

Also Boomers: Those dang Millenials don't even know how to change a tire!

i dated a chick long ago that was a 4'11" and about 85 lbs. She confided in me some of her legitimate fears about going out alone to safe places like a grocery store or the mall. To be in an average crowd and virtually be invisible was always an issue. She had a few instances of men that are 6'4" and a muscular 250 pounds just terrify her by picking her up like a child.

She hated my house because I had items put away in cabinets at eye level and she had to climb up on the counter to get to them.

I finally really "got it" when I was on an elevator with members of a basketball team and they were all 6'8 and up. Just all giant men.

^I had a girlfriend in college who was the same height. She didn't have those kinds of fears, but she was always having problems with people assuming she was way too young. One time Starbucks refused to serve her because they told her she wasn't old enough to drink coffee... I always had to hold back the laughter when she told that story.

Why do men die younger than women?
Because they've earned it.

why do women have their monthly visitor?
Because they deserve it.

Stupidest thing I've ever heard. Does that employee card everyone to drink coffee? It's not a gd bar.

You haven't visited PARF, apparently.

Being born an attractive white female is like hitting the genetic lottery. Life in easy mode.

I've never changed a tire on full size cars.

I have changed tires on my RC cars, but those are removing old super glue and installing with new super glue.

I'm not sure I've met anyone that didn't live in the deep country that doesn't go to a tire place to change their tires off their wheels. The machinery to break and reseal the bead is just that convenient.

IMHO....traditionally, the biggest disadvantage women have had is not being the bread winners in the family.

Not being the one who "brings home the bacon" many times results in feelings of low self-esteem....which in turn lead to certain personality quirks.

Of course, more and more females are now working and many of them are indeed the bread winners.....but then again that presents more challenges when their partners are dead beats and they feel like they are at a disadvantage.

There are exceptions of course and this is just a theory....YMMV.....

It just depends...

Writing yer name in the snow - Men
Gettin' laid with packs of hoordawgs at your service - Women

That was the point of the video.

Lloyd goes into great detail about the pros and cons for both sexes.

If that's directed towards me...this is PPOT...

Surely you don't think I've read all the other posts or even watched the video :)

The video is worth 17 minutes of your life.

I can assure you it is not. I am already familiar with the advantages and disadvantages each gender inherently has.

Do men have it easier? That depends

Watch virtually any couple get ready to go to work in the morning. A guy gets up, *****, shower and shave, dress in the same blue suit, or khaki slacks and white shirt and gets on the way.

Most all women spend 30 minutes getting showered and putting on a face and would never think of wearing the same dress or outfit that she did the day before or week before. So different clothes, different shoes, different jewelry and so on.

From my experience, women tend to deeply analyze much of what goes on around them. I don't know if this is a mechanism that serves self-elightenment, or self-preservation, but it seems prevalent within the female species.

Men, on the other hand, tend to not really GAF what is happening, unless death is iminent.

I think men have it much, much easier.

From some of the YouTube videos I have seen, there is a bunch of men out there that still don't GAF in the face of danger.

Women carefully weigh their options for most situations, which is the reason they are late most of the time (with us waiting on them). Far too many men don't weigh their options at all (why our insurance rates are higher).

Bringing home the bacon originated as a reference to lower-income workers as bacon (pork bellies) was cheaper and less desirable than other cuts of meat on a hog. I know huh. Go figure.

In contrast, living high on the hog meant the opposite as shoulder or back cuts were more expensive indicating more wealth or income.

So bringing home the bacon would be a better term for women and living high on the hog would be better for men.
Now where were we? ;)

BTW, where's the "it's not about the nail" video when you need it?
