Agreed. I’ll just say that women are evaluated more based on appearance, for better* or for worse.

I think you don’t have enough evidence to make the claim that a woman’s life is harder. You are only one of those, so you have biased opinions. Life is hard for everyone, it’s just different battles. We don’t need to tell people that your battle is harder than theirs bc you dk half of theirs.

you've proved the point here perfectly by being completely willing to write off my claim as a woman's opinion based only on her personal experience. i'm a guy. look up anything about sexual violence, domestic abuse, wage disparities, any of it. men do not fear for their lives on a daily basis. many women quite realistically do.

Unfortunately, I never wrote off your claim as a woman’s. I said you are only one gender. You are missing my point

Are you literate? You are either a boy or a girl. You only have the personal experience of one or the other. Not both. What are you not understanding?

oh your point is even dumber than I thought then. so you think it's only possible to have information about your own life? there's no such thing as data or other information not based on subjective experience?

I mean, I’m a trans man, so I’ve theoretically been perceived as/lived as both. Ask away?

it’s the most powerful variation even, beauty is expected of women and for men it’s next level privilege

You cannot compare things so different. A woman has entirely different challenges to go through in life compared to a man. What is subjectively easier to you would could seem harder for me and vice versa. That’s why you can’t compare who’s life is more difficult

entirely different challenges – obviously yes subjective differences in difficulty – also yes Setting that aside, you can still draw conclusions about which scenario is more difficult, because it's not like there is a person who has an easier time being murdered. We can conclusively say that violence and abuse are bad.

No, you are still missing several factors of how else people are treated. Women have a more positive presence than men do so there’s a sense of privilege there. That is a small example the point is there’s too many variables to depict which one is harder.

genuinely what the hell are you talking about? "a more positive presence"? what does that mean? what is that based on? if I'm missing so much of your argument, explain it instead of just denying the entire concept of learning about people other than yourself.

Okay if I’m here to sound like a fucken asshole then, men have the expectation to go out and work and provide for their families. There’s a responsibility you have for the women and people around you. You need to be aware of your situation to protect the people around you. It’s understandable that women are more targeted than men are but that’s how the cookie crumbles. I’ll protect the ppl around me but that’s a separate responsibility I feel like some people don’t consider

Of course women deal with a ton more oppression because of traditional values but men deal with a different sort of ‘oppression’. It’s just like a work and protect and ofc you should cuz your a man’ expectation

I don’t understand why you want to believe that women have it harder, it’s like you’re creating an unhealthy and unnecessary separation.

What advantage does it give us? No free drinks, no free social status, other dudes hate you and women care mostly about your personality anyway

Free drinks is the least of your concerns. Halo effect when it comes to employment opportunities, and a generally higher assumed level of competence.

Why higher assumed level of competence???

Eh, fair point

That’s got nothing to do with “being pretty” though that’s just the perception of men which I don’t think applies to every field

Accounting for all other differences, the average man is assumed more competent than the average woman. However, men are not exempt from the concept of the Halo Effect, where attractive (however it’s judged in that culture) people are seen as more trustworthy, competent, virtuous, and generally liked more.
