The "Yes Means Yes" law got passed in CA

[oarabbus]

Women certainly, on average, live more comfortable and protected lives than men. That is a FACT, and none of your PERIODING can deny that fact. Men have shorter lives, they are MORE likely to be victims of violent crime, they are MORE likely to be murdered, they are MORE likely to end up homeless or in prison, they are MORE likely to suffer from mental illness, MORE likely to commit suicide (perhaps the best determinant as to who is actually finding life harder). You are confusing your life of comfortable middle class existence with the lot of men in general, which is mere solipsism. I once got stabbed in the face, from behind and utterly unprovoked, while getting off a bus; odds are, if i were female, this would not have happened; the odds in general are if that kind of thing is going to happen it is FAR more likely to happen to a man. So stop with your pitiful black/white simplifications: they are both tiresome and untrue.

Whether one would rather have a man's or woman's lot is up to the personality of the individual (there are pros and cons both sides - ones that can never be removed by state equalising of the sexes), and one cannot argue on any objective basis that it is better to be one over the other. It's like comparing apples and oranges really. Though one can say with a good degree of certainty, that life is going to be a whole lot easier for an attractive woman than for an ugly man (taking all other things as equal), it just isn't possible to make certain judgements on this matter.

MORE likely to commit suicide (perhaps the best determinant as to who is actually finding life harder).

While you made some good points, this is a pretty big assumption considering women have much more suicide attempts but just happen to use less lethal means typically (e.g., pills vs bullet to the brain).

There are incredibly few truthfully failed suicide attempts.

Not to mention more women are going to college than men nowadays (60/40) and the gap is only going to keep widening.

You're right, but i would also say that a lot of female suicide attempts are cries for attention that they know will fail, rather than real attempts to end their own existence. More self-harm than suicide.

It isn't a good determinant at all really, and i did write 'perhaps' because it isn't a great one, but only the most objective measurement i can see, unfortunately again skewed by ambiguity, because it's impossible to say how many of the failed attempters actually wanted to kill themselves
