I think it's probably easier being a girl generally.

Not at all. I'm completely happy so it's not a "grass is greener" situation. I'm only talking about people living in similar circumstances to mine though, I'm obviously aware that being a woman in certain parts of the world is anything but an advantage.

In a way women are rewarded for their looks, so you see pretty girls getting a free ride where ugly girls have to work for it, this happens with males too but the difference is someone always takes care of a pretty girl, they don't have to work if they don't want to if they are clever enough they can find a guy to do all the work for them.

Self respecting women don't this though, not every girl exploits her beauty they rather be defined by something else.

But now think what is asked of them, our GF becomes our wife who becomes the mother of our children.
As men we put women on a nurturing role we simply cannot fill ourselves, it needs a woman's touch, a woman's sensibility.

Women carry the same pressure of expectation as males do perhaps even more.

Not even gonna bother with the other bit.

Not that I'd ever get hitched and have kids, at least not any time soon, but even as a guy this is pretty insulting dude. Men can be nurturing too. And there are plenty of women who aren't nurturing at all. It's pretty ****ed to expect someone to fulfill a role because of their gender.

Agree with the above.

ideally i agree with you, realistically i don't.

i have a daughter who i love and nurture but i can never replace the maternal nurture she gets from her mother.

The sensibility is simply not the same.

Im not trying to put women in their place saying they have to be loving house wifes that is their choice.
im just trying to point out that a man can't quite be as nurturing as women in most cases.

It's a generalisation and ofc there are exceptions, but i see way more single mothers raising a kid than i see single fathers raising one.

It's not "Mama was a rolling stone" it's "papa was a rolling stone"

(either way no need to get butthurt it's just my opinion)

I think women (and men) have it easier in some ways and more difficult in others

I'm not sure how you define 'maternal nurturing' but it seems like a pretty vague projection and not something based on any actual science or fact. Same goes for a "Woman's touch". This is also all coming from someone who doesn't know his father so yeah, kinda take it personally because it damn sure would've been nice having someone else around once in a while.
