Women more priviliged than men?

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

Are women more priviliged than men in modern society?

They can choose to be adults and work hard, but at any moment can give up and decide to have their husband take care of them. They have extra time in life because of the financial support they gain to actually do much more than men could ever when you think about it. They can have their expenses paid for by their boyfriend then use extra money to invest in their own health and things like this, then choose to get a job for a while and only get the jobs that they enjoy, no pressure.

Sure we are,but we deserve it after thousands of years of misery

Did you suffer any misery personally? Then you should ask those who subjected you to it for compensation.

Claiming any privileges based on the fact that someone who belongs to the same category suffered some sort of mistreatment is plain retarded. Or you going to claim that the man destined to be the father of your children is responsible for anything that happened to women hundreds and thousands years ago thus shall be subjected to punishment and humiliation?

What punishment and humiliation? where do yuo see that? women are today better off in society because society is more pro-female than pro male ,and i am just saying we deserve it

Women are still not taken as seriously as men.

One area in which this manifests is healthcare. Women who come in complaining of chest pains, etc, are more likely to be blown off as hysterical or overreacting than men presenting with the same symptoms. This has resulted in greater numbers of women who actually die of cardiac disease because the diagnosis was missed.

This is but one example.

But we do overreact quite often

i know from my experience,every little change on my body and it is chaos....i am thinking about all the forms of cancer i might have I remember when i got a lump(those were bad times ) on my neck...i was silly,but at least i learned so much about cancer, from google

Well, today men can have sex without commitment and they can run away once their partner is pregnant, so I guess it's a fair trade

That is called being responsabile on your own health
Women generally have longer life span than men due to that fact.
I'm not talking about google doctors here.
Women are far more likely to search for medical help than men with same symptoms,and more likely to prevent something serious that is going on,or "catch" it on time.
And that is a great thing,without unnecesary machoism ,health care brings results

I don't know in what lala-land some of you live. To work (often hard), to create and to contribute to the society is a privilege, not the other way around.

[Mago]

I don't think so.. women go through a lot. Menstruation, mood swings, giving birth, having to look perfect even to go buy groceries at the corner, having to deal with us men and a million other things. The hardest thing in life is to be a woman.
