If a woman is drunk and a man has sex with her, she can claim that it was rape because she was not in her right mind to give her consent. In other words, she is not responsible for her actions (the role she played before, during and after the sex) because she was drunk. If a man is drunk and he rapes a woman, he is held responsible for his actions before, during and after the sex regardless of the fact that he was drunk. Side: Men

That is really the best argument you can come up with to show how men has it harder (no pun intended) than women? Give me a break. How about the job situation, childrearing, CHILD BEARING! Jeez! Talk about short sighted, narrowminded and shallow. You take the cake. Side: Women
Actually, I can come up with something even more shallow. But maybe this will suffice for now: http://www.createdebate.com/debate/show/ Childrearing... Oh please. I have children. I raised them. It's not that hard. Child bearing... really? Do you even have kids? My wife was up and about in less than a day. check my other example down below (unless someone up voted it and it moved up). Side: Women
If a man gets a woman pregnant, and she wants to keep the child, she can legally force the father to pay child support for 18 years (216 months)!!! If a man gets a woman pregnant, and he wants to keep the child, he cannot legally force the mother to carry the baby for 9 months (9 freaking months)!!! Seems pretty one sided to me. Side: Men

Women have always had to work twice as hard to get half the recognition that men get, but, thankfully, it isn't that hard! I held three 'traditionally male jobs' before I stopped working to take care of my ill husband. In each of those positions, I was told by the older men that the younger ones were afraid we could do a better job. They were right, the men we had to compete with for promotions, etc. were often mean and hurtful. I survived in all three positions, but was passed over for raises that were given to men who performed no better if not worse than I did. I was once told that I didn't need a raise because the man that got it had a family to feed. I was in the middle of a divorce, so I guess, that didn't count. Inequality between the sexes is still rampant from what I see. Side: Women
