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?
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. :-)

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.
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.
