KEEP IN MIND THE FACTORS BELOW ARE DIRECTED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AND MOST CIRCUMSTANCES
1) Major point, girls have to give birth and go through "special" puberty. That may be true, however my counter argument is that boys get into fights, and the average boy fights a few times in his school life. The pain will add up where it is greater than birth pain, also including that fighting-pain hurts one mentally as well as physically, while birth gives you a happy mentality.
2) Boys are more "free" to do stuff. Boys can read comics, play games, and do other stuff while girls would be called a nerd/geek. Girls can dress more freely, as any color may be fine on them. Boys are limited from certain colors. Girls can act completely more freely, and express their thoughts, run around and yell, without being called a sissy.
3) It's easier for girls to lead boys than for boys to lead girls. No though counter argument for that. EDIT: elaboration is posted that girls can be more "flirty" with guys, and can usually do girly stuff to them, like just cut them at school and stuff. if guys try to do any of those they're gonna get slapped =O
4) Girls are more allowed to express their feelings. While girls cry, some guys will actually come to support and assist you, while if a guy cries, some people will "show" some sorry, however will not show as much affection.
5) Marital issues. If a married couple divorces, the female gets half the money. No counter argument for that.
6) As said, women can speak for freely. Girls can say "I'll get my girlfriends" while if a guy was to say "boyfriend," it wouldn't be right. =D Boys however, are allowed to cuss a bit more frequently, though this may not be that big of a deal to success in life.
7) Guys need to be more academically advanced, while girls rely on beauty. Vice versa in both ways, as long as guy's are completely ugly, girls should like them for their knowledge/money later on. As long as the girl isn't completely stupid, guys would like her if she's hot.
8) Women also need to help cook food (this is not sexist in any way, just a stereotype), take care of their children (not saying men don't...).
9) STUFF BELOW ARE COMMENTS TAKEN FROM USERS. DON't ASK ME FOR SOURCES ON THE ONES BELOW. Thanks to Klogan- Guys can pee while standing up... Thanks to someone on 3rd page- Women can take prostitution as a job. Thanks to Writer22816 The average women's lifespan is 10 years longer than a male.

guys and girls both have their difficulties, they're just different one life really isn't easier than the other imo. but then again what do i know! i've ever only been a guy so whatever i say it'll be bias!
OP, you're really going to make this thread on TL? You know, where the male/female ratio tends to be a little bit, well... skewed? ...Or, rather, a whole heck of a lot skewed?

yeah this may be a bit biased as there are few girls on Teamliquid to share opinions
Women can have it easier than men only if they are beautiful, and after they hit 45 they are fucked.. i see a lot more "lost" women in their 50s than lost men in their 50s men after their 50s they have great options if they did things right they have money and that brings a younger wife.. although it may backfire.. its a matter of opinion really.. but for me men have it harder early in life and easier later.. and women the other way around..
So many important factors/considerations are left out of your facts/points, and they seem worded quite biased. Like #5? I get the sense that this is directed towards relationships where the women doesn't "work". Plenty of situations where the man doesn't work, or the woman makes more etc.

It's directed towards the general couple, where the man makes equal/more money.

1. I doubt the average man EVER experiences ANYTHING as unmedicated childbirth in their lifetime O_O
2. Definitely true
3. Not sure what this means...you mean in relationships?
4. True, but that has drawbacks, i.e., women are seen as traditionally "weak" and "soft", making them more susceptible to daily harassment by horny guys and what-not. also most women tend to be ignorant of things such as car mechanics, meaning they often get ripped off in some of those situations
5. Well, the man gets half as well....? xD Also depends on law. Californian common law isn't the law for every other state/country
6. True, but changing imo. I've no qualms about giving manhugs.
Still a male-biased world, but I'd say in our lifetimes women and men will be wholly equal (in terms of wage earning, etc). This only applies to western post-industrial societies, of course =P

@#3 no as in, girls can "flirt around" with other guys, while if a guy just walks in and starts being like "hey what's up" in a sexy tone, he's gonna get slapped
I guarantee you at least 80% of people think their gender has it harder than the other. There's too much bias and lack of perspective for the opposite gender, so everyone will always tally up things that are "hard" or "tedious" for them in every day life, and claim their life is harder than the opposite genders'.
i'd say girls. yeah they need to worry about being pretty, etc they have the catty mental and emotional staredowns and gossiping. BUT i think they are more acustomed to that, just as guys end up getting used to work, physical pain, etc. it evens out i think in that regard. but even if childbirth is incredibly painful, it only happens a few times in life. 12 hours tops per birth. (a generous overestimation)
pain of birth? yeah it may hurt, but if u get stabbed, or get shot that hurts just as much as birth too.
when it comes to danger, guys have a sort of "duty to bravery" (can't chicken out) while girls have a "fear and helplessness". nonequivalent trade-offs there that even out once again.
any girl that is willing to not be lazy physically can pretty much do anything a guy can do when it comes to everyday activities. they may not be able to go harder in the boxing ring, or lift as much as a body bulider, but we're not counting the body bulider kind of extreme. i don't htink there's any serious physical advantage for guys when it comes to getting through life.
do we get to take into account every single person in the world? girls have it pretty hard in some 3rd world countries i would imagine. one thing men are more prone to is emotional pain, things like depression and stuff.
Counter argument for 5) Marital issues. If a married couple divorces, the female gets half the money. No counter argument for that. That depends on the state and the country. Rash overgeneralization.
Btw, since when do men have to be more advanced academically. In North American universities over half the student body is female. Also, since when are blue collar jobs something to be ashamed of? Any man who does honest work for a living is fulfilling his manly duties.

well if you were a parent, would you yearn more for your son or daughter to succeed academically? I know you would want both, but which one more?

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about with this point.
Not only do the majority of boys not get in fights, scientists have actually come up with a numerical way to rate pain. Take a guess at what comes first (bonus points for what comes 2nd). It's absolutely pathetic to say that we have to go through anything like birth in terms of physical pain.
2) Boys are more "free" to do stuff. Boys can read comics, play games, and do other stuff while girls would be called a nerd/geek. Girls can dress more freely, as any color may be fine on them.

Uh, boys are called the same exact thing if they do that. In fact, girls that do "nerdy/geeky" stuff are practically worshiped.
3) It's easier for girls to lead boys than for boys to lead girls. No though counter argument for that.
Could you elaborate on this one?
4) Girls are more allowed to express their feelings. While girls cry, some guys will actually come to support and assist you, while if a guy cries, some people will "show" some sorry, however will not show as much affection.
True.
5) Marital issues. If a married couple divorces, the female gets half the money. No counter argument for that.
Do you have any idea about how marriage actually works?
6) As said, women can speak for freely. Girls can say "I'll get my girlfriends" while if a guy was to say "boyfriend," it wouldn't be right. =D Boys however, are allowed to cuss a bit more frequently, though this may not be that big of a deal to success in life.
I don't see an actual point here.
7) Guys need to be more academically advanced, while girls rely on beauty. Vice versa in both ways, as long as guy's are completely ugly, girls should like them for their knowledge/money later on. As long as the girl isn't completely stupid, guys would like her if she's hot.
Girls are also paid less on average and are at a disadvantage (in terms of perception) when you are talking about an academically demanding job (something that included a graduate degree for example).
Hard to say since I've never been a girl. Both have their ups and downs.
I think your list is a bit superficial though. I mean, weighing the pain of getting in a few school fights vs the pain of child birth? I think those are both fairly trivial in the light of one's general life unless there are complications during child birth.
And a few of those things would apply more if it was 1950 instead of 2010.
Also, I think the question "who has it easier in life" isn't specified enough. Are you asking who has an easier time to live a fulfilling life or who can get through without having too much crap to deal with.
I feel a lot of people think girls have it easier in life because they have more options when it comes down to getting laid, while that may be true (only until they are 30, MAX; then it's total reverse) to some degree, that's only a minute facet of life. Societies (speaking from experience: NA and Asia, extrapolating this to be true elsewhere as well) in general heavily favour men.
Also, even when it comes down to relationships, men are typically the aggressive one, so you actually have more options (whether they reject you is another story).
this op is too broad and the discussions are too broad.. there should be more options or it should be divided in years, emotional satus, social status, and work/jobs..
^^ There is no answer for that. What you are asking is "Which gender of child would I love more"? Which child do I want to have the greater happiness. I have no clue since I don't have children. If I was absolutely forced into a decision, I would probably want my daughter to do better academically. My son can man-up and live his life like a man regardless of the hardships thrown at him. A Daughter I would want educated so she doesn't fall into the "get married out of high school have kids as an uneducated person and then rely on me for financial support for the rest of her life".
Also, what did those questions have to do with my previous answer?
1) Major point, girls have to give birth and go through "special" puberty. That may be true, however my counter argument is that boys get into fights, and the average boy fights a few times in his school life.

What comes second? I'd guess "losing a loved one", but not sure if this scale measures emotional pain.

These factors listed all seem pretty damn biased and stereotypical. I personally agree with them for the most part, but:
2) Boys are more "free" to do stuff. Boys can read comics, play games, and do other stuff while girls would be called a nerd/geek. Girls can dress more freely, as any color may be fine on them. Boys are limited from certain colors. Girls can act completely more freely, and express their thoughts, run around and yell, without being called a sissy. Boys can be called nerds for playing games and reading comics too, you know. And both girls and guys hide gaming to avoid this treatment. Later in life, "color" issues fade away: they're only really strong in what, elementary to early high school at latest?
3) It's easier for girls to lead boys than for boys to lead girls. No though counter argument for that. Are you saying that guys can't lead girls as easily? I've seen guys lead on girls so many times, and the problem is that most of the girls don't get over it as well as guys who have been used do as well. Not saying that its easier for men to be sluts and using women as well as the other way around, but it is definitely there, and it shouldn't just be said that there is "No though counter argument for that".
But for the purposes of the thread, I'd say girls. Men still have more freedom, especially in third world countries, but as the world gets increasingly developed, the "protect the women" feel keeps strong, while their rights and overall treatment seems to be on the rise.

Passing a kidney stone.
That's interesting... Would've never thought of that one.

well being a nerd for a guy is worse than a girl. girls can lead guys EASIER then, sorry for not being so detailed.
I don't want to get into other things because well... I'm not a girl so I cant speak for those BUT I will say that academia is easier for girls because there are a lot less girls that enter into it than guys. Sure less girls enter into academia, but those that do enter have it easier because generally colleges, schools, and institutions are more inclined to accept girls and underrepresented minorities into academia when possible.
I think overall, with our current society, it's relatively equal.
Girls have a distinct advantage in certain social situations. Sexual discrimination awareness has gotten to the point where men can have their lives ruined for looking at a woman the wrong way. Girls also get the pick (generally) concerning relationships (although this has a biological basis as well). They also get to be more free in terms of flirting, and they can rely on this and looks for several things in life.
That said, they have to put up with discrimination of many, many types in society + giving birth, and men don't go through anything that can compare to that shit. Be glad we don't.

What do you mean by academia? Because it's been shown that girls tend to graduate high school more often and with higher grades, and college glasses almost always have slightly more women than men.

That depends heavily on the country over here, girls are over represented.

Well academia refers to getting professorship etc or engineering, biology etc etc. Being a teacher ironically is not considered "academia." Most professors and people at the head of science are men, and it's known that women and underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply for those positions (as stated in fellowship and medschool apps) I'm not saying women are any less smart, hell my gf is smarter than me xD But I'm just saying generally in high positions in academia, philosophy, the majority are men.

Girls can get whatever they want by offering their bodies! JK
Girls are generally paid less then men, but according to my economics professor thats because of the time they get off for childbirth. Usually they get paid during that time, but when they come back to work they are behind in terms of experience, also their work/work place could be different. This makes them less efficient and are therefore paid less.

I'm pretty sure burning is number 2. I remember looking at that like 4 years ago.
But honestly I'm suprised at the poll results. I'm going to assume that >99% of the people who voted are men so we can assume all the votes are men. That means 46% (it is still small sample tho) of guys think girls have it easier.
I think guys obviously have it easier. Men are for the better or worse still the primary decision makers in society. Yes women do have many leadership positions but men still dominate at the highest tier of government, as well as in academia and engineering/science industry. And as someone mention the fact that as woman you are so much more likely to be paid less. That alone would would make me say men have it easier.
Physically men are just stronger, faster, and more agile. Its proven fact. Obviously if a women trains she could easily surpass any man but on average men are stronger. That is a bonus as in life you are often faced with tough physical challenges, so the stronger you are the more likely you are to survive. That's a huge plus.
Your list isn't really factual stuff its pretty subjective. But imho men have a slight edge in life.

Men are more likely to get killed / kill themselves / go to jail / abuse drugs but as already has been said being able to stand while pissing makes up for all of that.
Girls are often defined by their bodies and looks more than any of their other qualities. A man has a far easier time getting respect for his ability over superficial bullshit.
A girl can probably live an 'easier' life just coasting along than a guy, but to anyone who wants to actually do something with their life, I think it's easier to be a man. Frankly, the biological bullshit they'd need to put up is a clincher, too.
Men are better off in most regards but legally worse off between military conscription, atrocious male-only prisons, lack of control in the event of accidental pregnancy (and consequent financial obligations), and virtually automatic child custody to the woman in a divorce.
I honestly think that guys have it a lot easier in the world, just because we get stereotyped so much less than girls. Other than social issues, we are pretty much on equal footing in my book.
Women live longer cause they are more accustomed to go to the doctor (ginecologist) and they arent afraid of asking if something is wrong with their body cause they are trained to know that when something is wrong with your body its a step away from sickness, while men just hate going to the doctor they go once a year if they go and they have very bad health cause of high cholesterol, and smoking. Not to mention that we tend to believe that our body can withstand any amounts of hotdogs, shots, frozen pizza, beer and fried bacon with out any repercussions, women are more aware of food binges, as it is Known that women create body fat easier than men and get fatter more easily just as men can create muscle mass with training.
I have come to an evolutionary conclusion Men seek skinny women cause it is more likely for their children to be skinnier hence their children both male and female children will have to face less problems related to obesity and cholesterol giving their children better chances for longevity.... this does not compute in fat couples as they have accepted that they will not attract the opposite skinny sex.
I think everyone's forgetting that guys have to always be in constant fear of having their fadoodle chopped off. I mean, even when using scissors, what was the first thing we learned? "Make sure your fadoodle is safe." I mean, it causes so much psychological damage to a guy to have to be in constant fear of having your fadoodle chopped off.
that was a joke (hopefully). Honestly guys have it easier. I mean, first of all more job abilities. Basically I think girls have it better socially but guys have it better in real life.
- Physical pain > emotional torment - Get judged on looks harder - Boys can't dance or sing, girls can't do science or math - without getting made fun of - Boys are expected to achieve less then girls academically - Player vs. slut - Periods...? Jesus - Have to deal with a parasite for 9 months (maybe more, maybe less) - Osteoporosis - They shed tissue and bleed for up to a week every month... hormone imbalances... ugh

Girls are attracted to guys who have the financial support that can easily nurture and manage a potential family. Let's be serious here, most girls tend to prioritize her man's job more than his looks. Not by much, but still - if he's handsome but broke, nty.
But there's not much a girl can do to be more attractive. You guys know what I'm talking about. Most men prioritize women's physical features more than anything. Hell, if they got money - even better. If they don't, who cares? She's still sexy as hell.
Men can bypass physical appearances to some extent, while women cannot in most cases.
I also think that as a girl its actually easier to get a good degree at the moment cause of the culture. Its not considered nerdy if a girl studies, but its seen as somewhat negative to put too much effort into school as a guy.

Girls have it way harder.
This. (though, girls on average live longer lives *fake source here*) Seems pretty easy, plus you have to worry about your safety and rape a lot more.

I think your list is a bit superficial though. I mean, weighing the pain of getting in a few school fights vs the pain of child birth? I think those are both fairly trivial in the light of one's general life unless there are complications during child birth.
And a few of those things would apply more if it was 1950 instead of 2010.
Also, I think the question "who has it easier in life" isn't specified enough. Are you asking who has an easier time to live a fulfilling life or who can get through without having too much crap to deal with.
This is the super polite way of saying most of the things I want to say to the OP. Terrible thread.
