Women Have Harder Role In General13% Voted for by Energizer Bunny, The Blind Bandit.
In general, if you're a married woman with kids, the odds are you work outside the home like men, but when men come home to relax that is usually when a woman's work is just beginning. This is not always true but it is the majority of the time.

You can't really judge who is happier based on gender. Men, by generalization, are expected to work and maintain the financial status of a family while a women is expected to do housework and play servant to the male. I can admit that, in the old days, this was true, but now? Not quite. Most married/taken women (face it) are pressured to do the housework and stay the slave to their male companion just the same, but this is not always the case. In today's society, the work is generally shared, though there is still sexism, and LOTS of it. Speaking truthfully, it all depends on the individual's lifestyle and place in life. Some women are more demanding and think they deserve to be princesses (and are treated as such), then there are the ones who lead lives of house labor and bend backwards to maintain their home environment. The are males who work day in and day out and become couch potatoes at home, and then there are males who act as "Mr. Mom" and do the housework while the woman does the outside job. Everything has a ying and yang but what is most dependant in deciding whether a male or female's life happier is how they spend it and how they enjoy it. My mother is extremly happy working 12 hour shifts while taking care of ALL the housework. To her, it's not really a burden, it's pure bliss. My father is the more stressed one who leads a more troubled life due to some family issues, stress at a job he hates, and other problems.
In conclusion, it's how you live your life. It depends on doing what you want to do and what you like, not whether you're male or female.

Men are Generally Happier in LifeVoted for by wbiro.
First, there are more women than men, so there is less pressure and competition for men in finding a mate. Second, women are plagued by unrequited love as soon as they hit puberty. Men, as boys, are oblivious to matters of the heart, and for most men this lasts for several decades! In the meantime the women suffer in constant misery and heartache. Third, more women rely on men for their sustenance, and considering how many men are moronic self-centered jerks, that makes for many unhappy, frustrated, and miserable women. Last, women are smarter than men when it comes to species survival, and are incredulous at the way men go about trying to destroy it!

just my opinion...Voted for by Dienush.
Happiness is a state of mind, something inside you, therefore happiness doesn't really have anything to do with gender. However, it is hard to find the same happiness while society is adverse. Men have been considered more "human" than females, who have been considered almost objects throughout history. Only in the last 2 centuries have women gained equal rights, but there are still states where men rule. So men have the power. Whether that makes them proud or not, it still gives birth to numberless prejudices. Power is a burden, generally, whether or not you realize it, and it is a common thought that "real men don't cry". There are lots of males who repress their feelings out there. Even teenagers and elders, though mainly adults. Also, more is expected of men. They attend military service and stuff. The dying rate for males is bigger, I think. So theoretically, I think the society makes women's happiness easier to reach than that of males, though happiness is a universal right in my opinion. This isn't necessarily true for everyone, of course, particularly in countries where women still have few rights if any, but I think males have harder lives.

My opinionVoted for by greenestmonkey.
Speaking as a man, we have to work like donkeys until retirement, then we die. So I think women at least have more freedom, and a greater choice of roles.

equalVoted for by twistedtiger.
Growing up these past 6 years my dad had to do both of the jobs that were for the father and mother together, he provided alot for us and he cleaned the house, stoped burning the food, got us to school in the morning, worked on the house and went to work, most of the cleaning how ever was done at night when we all were in bed. Sence my dad got married again it did take alot of the stresses off of him but now the share of work has been taken off of him alot and now that i am getting older i can help. Men do more fixing i think and dealing with loud kids and stuff because the women dont want to yell at them in fear that the kids would hate her but women do alot of the cleaning, cooking, and supporting.
men think that it is up to them to put every thing on there shoulders even though they know they are going to stress themselves out even more and it turns into a big problem

Women have, on average, longer lives than men, are less susceptible to disease and generally live (fractionally) healthier lives. Maybe this helps a little.

indeterminateVoted for by Dark Red Ink.
Women are less likely to have a permanent job.
Women tend to have more self image issues and mental illnesses
Women put up with damn period pain every 4 weeks.
Women go through childbirth.
Women go through menopause.
Women are more likely to be stuck with the kids in a breakup.
Women on average have lower paying jobs.
Then again, I'm female and happy.
I think it's indeterminate - no one's been male as well as female to know the real differences.

Um.....why?Why would gender have an affect on you'r state of happiness? It sholdn't really matter.Voted for by ShadowSong92.
The only way I can think of it having an affect would be how you were brought up and even that can change as you develope you'r thoughts later on in life.
I mean no disrespect, but this just seems to be a stupid question...

That Women Can stand up to 9 times more pain than men?June 28, 2006
Edit | Reply
Women Seem to
Women need to stand pain so that they can enjoy being a mother later in life. We are more caring than the majority of men because that is what makes us good mothers. Mothers tend to care about their little children and teach them to try to believe that loving others is the best thing to do. As a young lady I think what can bring more joy than that?TeChNoWC

Women have it easier when it comes to LOVE than men do.
Sure, people claim that men might have 'life' easier, but they don't have 'love' easier.....and in a way, to me, this makes life harder for men. So to me, women have it easier all around. When a woman wants a boyfriend, husband, friend, companion, lust-buddy......or pretty much anything.....all she has to do is ask. Any woman who is single, is single because she chooses to be. I don't care who you are, or what you say......if you're single, ladies....it's because you are choosing to be. Men, on the other hand.......who are single......are lonely......usually depressed.....desparate for love.....anything. But women never make moves. Men have to initiate everything. Men experience loneliness and heartache on a scale that women will never be able to comprehend. Sure, ladies, while you were in highschool you might have been lonely because all the guys your age were still immature.....but that never stopped you from dating the older guys. Women have it easy. And let's just look at divorce statistics. When two people divorce, 90% of the time, the woman gets a new man and remarries not long after.........while divorced men hardly ever remarry, and remain a broken, depressed, lonely man for a long time, because older women (and women in general), are usually married by the time they are in their 30's.....and if they are single, they are single for a reason. It sucks to be a guy.Please register or login to comment! It's totally free
