I have no real bias either way. Most of my bad experiences have been with men but I understand that the few I've run into aren't the norm.

The need to be masculine or macho and not be seen as weak can lead to a lot of pressure for men which in turn leads to less desirable behaviour in their attempts to fit in but it also makes it harder.

The successful suicide rate for men is much higher than the female in part because there is no room for emotions in a "mans" world so too many are trying to fight on their own.

The cases of male eating disorders are steadily increasing too. Women are not the only ones being objectified and the pressure on men to be the ripped six packed model is growing.

Dare to reject a woman's advances and his sexuality or masculinity is questioned because a man should always be up for it.

Then there are the instances of female to male domestic violence. Again that macho facade leads to hidden suffering and often times they are not believed when they do go to the authorities because how could a big strong man be scared of a woman?

Over all, both genders have their challenges and faults.

There are certainly more than enough men out there willing to put their raging misogyny on display. (I once read a comment from an MRM that blamed women for WWII after they voted for Hitler because he was attractive. ) but I've seen my share of misandry (Ironic that that word should be marked as spelled wrong.) as well.

Overall most men are struggling their way through life just like us women.
