    White, upper-class, American males... is there anything they can't do/get loans for/buy/be/etc...?

    I love being a woman, and I would never choose to be a male (probably because I've been a woman all these years! Haha!) but it would be nice to be able to stop hitting my head on this damn glass ceiling! And that's only touching on the work place! Women are constantly sexually harassed whether its some jerk honking his horn at you as you're trying to fill your car up with gas, or some ass who feels the need to grab your butt as you walk by. Women are seen as objects, instigators of rape, unfit drivers, unworthy intellectuals, who aren't as funny/talented/productive/strong as their male counterparts. Not all men think this way, but most men either consciously or subconsciously think this way based on the way women are treated as a whole.

    This is a little like asking which is better apples or oranges. You can like one more than the other but that doesn't make it better than the other.

    Actually the question was who HAS it better, not who IS better...

    in american society, white, hetrosexual, males have significant advantages. american society has made significant advances but, we still have a long way to go.

    Overall, I would say you are right BKcmar, but there are certain places where you are better of black, better off homosexual, better off female etc..All Im saying is I have experienced prejudice against me for being a white heterosexual male. Not as much as a black homosexual female. Not even close Im sure. But the fact is, there are injustices in society, period. And yes, we do have a long way to go.

    Depends on where you live. For the most part men have it better in the general scope of the world. In the west tho women and men are pretty equal.

    I wish I could have babies.

    It'd be nice to have people open doors for me, buy me drinks and all that too. And to be viewed as more emotional/more capable of loving. I hate how people assume all I think about is sex cause I'm a guy.

    Men have better oppurtunities with some things but so do women at the same time. In the end the struggle is the same for both sexs depending on particular situations.

    I think women have the better of it sexually. I think a woman gets more out of good sex than a man can truly appreciate (although women also probably have more sexual complications than men). I know I've been with women who just have way more intense orgasms and sexual afterglow than I expect I'll ever experience...I don't hold much favor in the absolutist position of "the sole factor in sexual behavior differences between men and women is social conditioning," and I don't think adhering to such an ideology would make men or women terribly happy.

    Okay, it’s a little like asking which HAS it better dogs or cats. (Is that better?) The concept, in either case, is that there is no way to prove or show "better" between two things that differ so widely.

    I think men generally have it easier. But women have body parts that can win situations in ways men can't. And they have better orgasms. =(

    perfect... I'm a male, middle-upper class, and I'm in college right now. I try my best tio be unbiased and non-judgmental but people have a pre assumption of what women and men should be. It's hard to get over, even if somebody tries. Eventually it'll be there, but it's going to take a few more genrations.

    If more guys thought like you, we'd probably reduce social differences radically within a few decades!

    Not having to deal with pregnancy, not worrying about if we're fat, (although we should) being on the rag, dealing with men because we know they all think we're stupid.

    I thank a higher being daily that I have a penis..

    i have to say, everyone on this world has the ability to be happy with who they are and where they are in life, i heard a study saying that people living in somewhat nomadic tribes and sturggling just to get fed everyday are on average happier then most people who live in some parts of the united states... because of the sense of community they feel with the people around them

    with that said, i think each sex has its ups and downs, but choosing which you would rather be is more of a prefrence, i think you will be just as happy as either one, personality depicts that more then sex i think....

    so i say equal
