Are there more advantages of being a male or being a female in today's society?

I think it's still very difficult for like women. They still have to be discriminated against and more like harrassed and stuff. We havent even reached equal pay yet which is really unfair.

That's a difficult one to assess. There are so many nuances. Not all men are equal, and neither are all women. There are behavioral and aesthetic components that create different classes of men and women,each with their own advantages over the other.

Then you have to consider whether you're looking at the total absolute number of advantages or rather the scope and magnitude of the advantages. After all, not all advantages are alike.

And even when you have quantitative data such as wage earnings, you have to understand that there are immeasurable factors that play into those findings even once all the measurable ones are accounted for.

I can't really give a definitive answer. Even when we're generalizing, both men and women enjoy plenty of advantages over the other, and that's in spite of what we may be ideologically predisposed to believing. There are also several disadvantages when comparing across groups, which is unfortunately what today's political climate seems focused on monopolizing in favor of their own tribe.

Everyone has it rough, but no one has the odds so stacked against them that they can't find a way to create a meaningful and worthwhile life for themselves
