I don't envy men in this modern day, I cannot say whether life is harder though just very different.
I bet Graeme Stening doesn't think that women have the worst of it.
ANOTHEOLDGIT, my level of wit matches my opinion of the person to whom it is addressed.
AOG

I do believe that life is harder and more dangerous for women as it is for men.

I read about it in a piece in the Independent.

Here:

Oh.

-- answer removed --
I am glad I'm a woman in this country. I don't think life is particularly easy for allmen in the developed world, but it's s****y for women and girls in more backward-thinking and/or poorer countries.
Is life harder for a woman than a man? I don't know, but... I suppose if we can wonder if it's even safe for a woman to get into a taxi, or if nowhere is safe for young girls these days... does that answer the question, maybe?
^ sorry Jim, it doesn't even come anywhere close to answering the question.

Which sex was given priority to flee the stricken Titanic?

The forthcoming Sheffield by-election Labour nominees are all women.

In general etiquette it is expected that a 'Ladies first' policy is adopted.

There are Ladies day events at top racecourses.

Ladies are the breadwinners.

Men are judged by their women.

Women finally broke through years of tradition to have membership at the MCC!

Have I come closer to proving my point? ;)
Oh and Naomi always succeeds in getting the last word!
Globally it may well be. In the country I grew up in: no, nowhere near. For every incident that indicates an issue for women there will be a different issue around for men, and society tends to treat women with more courtesy and suchlike.
No comment on your last post ag except I think it is a male who always wants the last word. Usually gets it to because everyone else is snoozing and bored stiff. :-)
Retro - I cannot imagine who you are referring to :)

Shame of it all is too many younger women do not remember how men ,who had manners,treated them in years gone by. It would seem they are politically brainwashed and have to brand some people as 'ists' when an innocent vintage remark is said by a male.
I am not going to sink to the pathetic level of political correctness and apologise for what I do not consider an inappropriate phrase or saying.About time some people here dumped their PC worship and learnt some some old English polite pleasantries and ignored the BS from across the Atlantic where PC was invented and they can shove it.
If women wish to be taken seriously stop making stupid remarks about innocent comments of old.
No, I think young and older men are more at risk.
I kind of agree with you, Retrocop. It's always nice when someone opens a door for you, regardless of the gender of the opener.
For both sexe, it's a touchy subject to compliment a woman on her appearance. I remember saying to a female friend that she looked really good that night. She replied "oh, I usually looks hideous, do I?" You can't win, really.
This is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing Without a woman or a girl

You see man made the cars
To take us over the road
Man made the train
To carry the heavy load



Man made the electric light
To take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water Like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, man's,man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing Without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little bit of baby girls
And a baby boys
Man makes them happy 'Cause man makes them toys

And after man's made everything Everything he can
You know that man makes money To buy from other man

This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
He's lost
Having read your post carefully several times other ag I'm completely persuaded. Life sucks for men after all. :/
Good man Jim, just listen to your elders ;)

Zero tolerance!
