Why girls have it easier than boys


Here is why girls have it easier than boys in life. Boys are highly competitive and in Lord Of The Flies they even kill each other, that is how competitive they are. Had it been girls on the island the would've not killed each other. Aside from that, even if boys didn't kill each other, the fact remains that women tend to have longer lifespans than men. "Ladies first," usually does not apply with this one thing, and that's dying. Its usually men first when it comes to dying. Women tend to live longer. So that is why girls have it easier than boys in life, they don't compete with each other as much and they get to live longer.

Girls don't compete with each other as much? Seriously? I saw some really bad girlfights in High School.

Did the OP go to high school? Girls are quite nasty to each other

I take your comments like a grain of salt. An obvious feminist.

Also, put a bunch of girls on an island and they'd all turn rabid- No doubt

It's because females are smarter than males ... If only females had been born with the same upper body strength as males ... this planet would be a cleaner and a safer place to live on .

"A man that wouldn't cheat for a poke don't want one bad enough".

Well they didnt. So they can continue to bend over and do what they do best

They might fight too. Though they are smarter.

Couldn't be bothered to make a cohesive text, so here are a bunch of stuff:

1. If women have longer life spans, it's essentially because of life choices, they smoke less, eat less meat, more vegetables, drink less alcohol and have overall healthier diets and lifestyles. Not to mention, they display less risky reckless behavior. Men's lifespan is riddled with generations over generations of bad behavior, alcoholism, cholesterol, cardiovascular diseases, etc

2. Women are genetically and naturally stronger than men. They have the luck to benefit from 2 same chromosomes XX, whereas with men it is XY, which means that when a woman has a defective section in the DNA of one of the X chromosome, the second X will take over and code the proteins in such a way to avoid mutations, which could lead to birth defects, chronic illnesses, mental sicknesses, shorter lifespans etc. Men on the other hand can only rely on one single version of each chromosomes, and if one happens to be defective, it will have no other choice than to code the mistake into flesh and often create aberrations. It explains why we, men, suffer from more hereditary diseases and mental illnesses than women and are much more likely to become perverts, deviants and psychopaths than women. Most sadistic killers are men.

3. More male embryos are conceived on a daily basis world-wide, but they tend to die at much higher rates, they are more frail than female embryos because of all the things i mentioned above. Another element that shows women are actually the stronger sex, at least genetically if not physically.

4. All the elements spoken of above, the better and healthier lifestyle choices, the lack of such a heavy hereditary luggage and the stronger genetic makeup is the reason why women tend to score higher on IQ tests in Western countries and why they obtain more college degrees than men in the last decade or so.

5. As for the movie, the existence of female prisons and the reality of the conditions inside them, which have nothing to envy to male prisons, pretty much proves you wrong. It is true that women tend to rely less on physical violence on account of lower levels of testosterone, but psychological violence, bullying and ostracism can be just as barbaric and effective.

6. Only a man with no knowledge of women and their world would say they have it easier and the fact that they live longer certainly doesn't support your position, on the contrary.


People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs

Really? In a situation like this, guys have a heck of an easier time. If it were all girls, my first thought would be "WTF are we goong to use for tampons?" you're goong to have some girls on their period, bleeding all over the place

I cannot imagine a more dimwitted topic than this. I will concede that most men are more unaware than women. They/we can’t imagine how ferociously competitive women are with each other. They want the best seed to make their children. On a first date, the guy is wondering if he’s going to get laid, but the woman is busy calculating his life expectancy, sperm count, income potential, how many children of both genders they will have, what she will name them, where they will live, what kind of home they will have, what schools their/HER progeny will attend, and who she will marry after he drops dead. Males have shorter lives than women because we are taught that, if we do brave things, girls will watch; so some asshole guy (a redundancy) does a handstand on his bicycle handlebars, girls get wet, and then he’s run over by a truck.
