1.) Yes. In fact, I bleed for a week on normal occasion.

2.) I’ve taken a 2 foot shit once, so yeah probably.

3.) It’s not your stomach. No one can do that a live.

4.) Yes. That’s not gender specific and I have actually done that before when I was 10.

5.) I do every time my family goes grocery shopping. >.>

6.) Yes. Again, not gender specific, and I did that for 5 months. So suck it.

7.) Yeah, been cheated on 3 times too. 

8.) Yep. I can.

9.) Yes, embarrassing but it’s happened before.

While I’m not saying being a woman is easy, being a man isn’t exactly a cakewalk.

You have to focus whenever you get sexually excited because the bloodflow is going in a new place and your body has a problem supporting it.

You have an alpha male syndrome and feel threatened whenever someone is better at you than anything.

Ever have to fear about getting hit in a place where even a flick can leave you on your knees?

How about worrying about sitting on that same spot everytime you sit down?

How about being extra careful when you zip your jeans so “it” doesn’t get caught in it?

I’m not saying it’s harder to be a guy. But it definitely isn’t harder being a woman. We have our pro’s and con’s and they about equal out.

DEAL. WITH. IT.

 I’ve bolded the bit that confuses me. Like, I get where you were going with everything else, but sexual arousal works that way in women as well you know. The whole, blood-flow-to-the-genitals thing, the difficulty concentrating. The whole erect penis thing is a little more obvious example of the phenomena, but its still pretty anatomically congruent for both sexes.

Yes, but with guys it’s different. First off all, its THERE. second, rubbing against most surfaces, notably your jeans and underwear, stimulates it further. Second, if you do ignore it, somehow, you have blueball to look forward to, which is painful and irritating.
Plus I think more blood flow is changed in men. I’m not certain, nor could i find a study online, but i think it’s a larger margin.

 I can definitely see how a large protuberance from one’s pants would be difficult, and while women certainly get frustrated, its less physiological. But I would like to say that the “rubbing against surfaces, including underwear” thing is DEFINITELY also true for women, as anyone who’s ever driven a particularly bumpy road in tight pants will tell you.

I’m going to interrupt this conversation about genitalia for a second and say that what’s really worth noting about this post is just how badly it glorifies and encourages gender roles.

Listing activities like shopping, straightening, babysitting and heartbreak as reasons for why women are stronger than men is counter-productive. You’re basically saying that these activities are typically “female,” all while trying to prove that you are equal to a man. Half of these, with the exception of PMS and childbirth, are equally attributable to men.

We all go through some shit and we all complain about it. I have no idea why people continue to bring their private areas into the equation. It adds absolutely nothing to the conversation that shouldn’t even be happening in the first place.

Edit: So I missed the point and what I listed above was half the reason this post became popular amongst my friends. But maybe I was just emphasizing that. I don’t know. I’m fucking tired.

Goodnight. 

 I do appreciate what you’re saying here… the list is very “biology is destiny” conflating social issues (majority of childcare) with physiology (giving birth). I just got distracted arguing the finer points, and I don’t think I made it clear I thought the list was total bullshit. My “list” [even if playing oppression olympics is stupid & counter-productive & I wouldn’t have made one] would have at least been social issues only.

Agreed. It’s all a two way street, but, coming from personal experience, I feel like it’s a lot easier for men to just be doing literally nothing and then BOOM! erection.

The post itself just pissed me off to no end. I understand that as a white man, my “kind” (for lack of a better term) has had it pretty damn good since, let’s just go out on a limb here and say, recorded history, and the only time my time line had it rough was when the British were oppressing the Irish or when we were starving due to that whole potato famine thing. But I still will never understand why women bring up child birth when saying how much harder they have it than men. It’s like, I get it, having a baby is painful. But it’s what you are designed to do. And in most cases, minus rape, it is a choice you make or its the risk you take when having sex. So take birth control, use condoms, do both (I know that I’m the exception to those), and you will not have to worry about it 99.99% of the time.
