A woman is expected to do housework and play servant to the male. Most married women are pressured to do the housework and stay the slave to their male companion. Furthermore, more women rely on men for their sustenance, and considering how many men are moronic and self-centred, that makes for many unhappy, frustrated, and miserable women. Women are less likely to have a permanent job, as there is sexism in the workplace. Women tend to have more self image issues and mental illnesses, as they many people judge women on their appearance, whereas not a lot of people judge men by their image. Women go through lots of pain during childbirth.
Women go through menopause, whereas men do not have to go through it. Women financially, mentally, physically and emotionally support there families. Most women suffer domestic violence from their husbands or partners. Most who suffer this brutality endure it silently, without telling any member of their family or friends. Most women are sexually assaulted by men, which makes it harder for women to go out late at night, or even go outside alone. In some part of India, young girls from perhaps the age of seven have to go through an arranged marriage to a boy, whom they don’t know or have even seen. If by any chance, the boy dies after the marriage, the girl must become a widow for the rest of her life, Which means that she will have to wear white clothes to show to people that she is a widow, and she will be not allowed to remarry at all.
Others may argue that more is expected of men. They attend military service and some have to fight for their country and become martyrs. Women have, on average, longer lives than men, and are less susceptible to disease and generally live (fractionally) healthier lives. When depressed in their lives, most men turn to drugs, alcohol, or smoking, which ruins their lives as they become more addicted to the stuff. More men suffer more illnesses than women, as men suffer from heart disease, than women do. When men separate from their wives, in most circumstances, the children go to the woman instead of the man, as most women win rights to keep their children, whereas men loose easily.
Overall, in my opinion I believe that women do have tougher lives than men, as they have the massive pressure of looking after the household and the children thrust upon them. Most women become slaves to their husbands, unable to become independent. In most workplaces, women tend to have the lower positioned jobs, whereas the men have the higher positioned jobs. In Islam, most women are forced in countries like Afghanistan to wear scarves on their heads, and they are not even allowed to step outside of their homes unless they are permitted by their husbands.
