Interesting comment, I have one question though. Are you saying males as a whole are inferior to women, or you feel inferior as a man? (emphasis on feel, not intended to offend)

There are definitely pro's and con's to being either gender, like for instance women are more likely to get custody of their children after a divorce. And because the E.R.A. hasn't passed women won't ever be drafted.

Possible trigger!!! But if a women is a victim of sexual assault and wants to report the crime her character is likely to be put on trial and it's the only crime that a victim is blamed and thus feels guilty for their own victimization. Kinda explains why this is the most under-reported crime.

I just feel like there are some systematic disadvantages to being a women.

A big disadvantage men have is due to the negative reinforcement they get from other males. And I have to admit that I'd rather be a women than deal with what men have to deal with and the stigma of being a 'feminine-like' male.

An interesting article about valued traits being associated with men that could/should be associated with being a human being. http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~rjensen/fr...ineorhuman.htm
