For many years women have been discriminated in the workplace, in the home, and in society in general. For this reason, it is easier and more acceptable to be of the male race. Men have it easier in regards to safety, at work, and during life as a whole.
First of all, women are more susceptible to crime. In statistics from the U.S. Department of Justice, women, especially teenage girls, are among the most frequent victims of sexual assault. "According to the University of Texas 1 out of 3 women will be a victim of sexual assault", (TCLEOSE). Men are less likely to be targeted in such crimes because they are for the most part much larger and stronger than women are. This simple fact makes women perfect targets for crime.
I think it must be very hard to be a woman in today's world. Men have it easier in regards to safety, at work, and during life as whole. Although the feminist movement is making a great impact on the women's role today, unless scientists can develop a way for men to become pregnant and give birth to the children there are still a lot of things that will never be equal.
