Sorry but this nonsense. At least in western society. In countries like India women do get horrific, no denying that. But in first world countries women now days don't have to give birth and sit at home and care for the children. Many women give birth and our working. Using childbirth as just an example is a nonsense. A woman in a couple can sit at home and look after the children or she can work and won't be judged for it. If she sits at home she's being a caring mother, if she works, she's helping provide for the family. If a man sits at home he's often viewed as a bum, loser, or a failure. Men are expected to work, women aren't, they have a choice.
Men are more likely to be homeless, men are more likely to commit suicide, men are more likely to be murdered, men are more likely to end up living a lonely life. Men get screwed over in divorce
Not saying women have it easy. Both men and women have privileges, but both have things that go against them.
