It is actually beneficial to be a minority nowadays with affirmative action.

Plus percentage wise Hispanics are the most underrepresented minority in the entertainment and sports industry. "Blacks" make up 11% of the population but I can not many more famous "black" entertainers/athletes than hispanics.

If AA is hurting your chances at success, then you're doing it wrong.

'It' being life.

Probably because I scrubbed **** to pay for college while others are on scholarships for their skin color.

You're an embarrassment to Massive Attacks artwork. How can you use that avatar and say that with a straight face?

Women seem to have to put up with more BS, generally. Still making less money than their male counterparts, kitchen jokes, being constantly appraised for their appearance, having to deal with foreveralones who think that being nice to a woman makes her obligated to go out with them, etc.

Attractive women, other than that it's basically the same. Women have to deal with more obstacles in life, but men have to deal with women.

Men but only slightly these days. The thing is whilst women may be disadvantaged in a lot of areas it's balanced out by the expectations, it doesn't really matter that women tend to be paid less when the majority of the time they're not the main earner in the family ect.

Though I think women cause a lot of these disadvantages themselves...

Trying to generalize the life of all men or all women in an attempt to decide which gender has it easier seems completely pointless to me.

The fact of the matter is each man has a different life and different situations from other men, and women have a different life and different situations from other woman. Some women have easier lives than some men, some men have easier lives than some women.

Generally women, they are more taken care of, favored, and were even raised to not lay a hand on them and always agree etc.

You gotta admit men can't lie on their back for a living. Those women at the bunny ranch in neveda or escorts make sh*t ton of money. A lot of them start there to pay for school and continue doing it once they get out just because they make so much money. (Watched an HBO special on it.) And if anything it is empowering to have that power over a man. Less degrading than working at a mc donalds or pizza joint. Strippers even can make $1000 in one night of tips. Imagine getting that waiting tables. Also even when waiting tables an attractive young lady has a better chance at getting a healthier tip. Then there are the women who live solely off of previous marriages and alimony. There is always that women going on husband # 3 still living like it's the 50's and she can't get work because she has been a loving housewife all her life. ROFL. Of course men have opportunities to do things women can't im sure, sports being one of them. (I mean how much can women's basketball players really make?) The argument works both ways depending on which examples you choose to look at. Much like any argument, it is pointless to try and tell who has it easier nowadays. But I think it would be complete crap to say that women are still oppressed and have a harder time getting by then men. Try being a midget in the workplace. Even at an office job they would have to get different chairs. Most employers just don't want to accommodate for someone a few feet small.

if you mean in business world right now? i'd say for the most part men.

if you mean in k-12 education and a lot of universities, i'd say it's about even with a bit a tilt in favor of women.

if you mean in life - as of right now - that is entirely too subjective and depends on the goals of that person.

Men have it easier just about everywhere, it's just that the gender disparity is smaller in developed countries.

That depends.Matriarchal societies still exist in some places.

While an avarage man have a bit of an advantage over an avarage woman, a beautiful woman willing to use her image has it easier than anyone else.

I'm going to risk giving a serious answer in this topic.

It really depends what you mean by easier. For instance it seems to still be easier for a man to get a high profile or successful high paying job. On the flip side though, it could be argued that women have it easier in society. They have doors opened, dinners paid etc.

And just to illustrate my point on a very small scale, kids at my high school pull pranks on freshmen, (I was just looking through some pics on facebook today and amusing myself) but I have yet to ever see one of these pranks pulled on a girl. Again, though men have it easier when it comes to jobs and garnering respect. So to sum things up in the professional world, men have it easier, but in social circles it isn't uncommon for women to have an easier time of it.

It is actually beneficial to be a minority nowadays with affirmative action.

Plus percentage wise Hispanics are the most underrepresented minority in the entertainment and sports industry. "Blacks" make up 11% of the population but I can not many more famous "black" entertainers/athletes than hispanics.

Probably because I scrubbed **** to pay for college while others are on scholarships for their skin color.

Oh you poor thing.

How have you managed to survive under such harsh circumstances?

[QUOTE="BangYongGuk"]

I have worked at an arena and scrubbed toliets for minimum wage to help pay for my college...

I would let someone lick my foot or whatever other fetish there is for hundreds of dollars (thousands sometimes).

You can sell sexuality and not sell sex.

BangYongGuk

so you think those women enjoy lonely old men playing with their feet?

They enjoy the money, would you rather clean restrooms for minimum wage and deal with customers who are sometimes jerks or let some dude lick your feat for 30+ times the pay.

The majority of prositutes are not high class call-girl escorts, so your logic is flawed. They're poor women subsisting on low wages from prostitution and are often infected w/ stds and doped up on drugs while some sort of man or pimp in their life forces them to continue their work.

Or merit based scholarships due to their high SATs and outstanding extra-curriculars.

Prostitution, men paying on dates, women are prefered for waiting and get higher tips etc.

BangYongGuk

I personally wouldn't call prostitute successful.

No but it can be used successfully as a finance tool.

Escorts and women who do not even have sex for money can use sexuality (like feet fetishes) to make thousands of dollars a client for maybe an hours work.

You and your prostitution issue again? Go be one if it's that glamorous to you.....
