A matter of Mars and Venus

It's not fair to say that '... it is tough to be a woman'.

Yes, being a woman is tough.Once, my friends and I discussed that us girls have a tough life then the male counterparts.There are a few things that a girl has to go through in her life, which comes in the package of being a female.Such things are;

-A girl has to go through PMS and stuff, water retention etc.Sometimes, we are excused for acting all 'melodramatic' or 'plain weird' just because we are having 'one of those days'.Period pain sucks, that's the truth but hey, us girls also don't enjoy the emotional side effects of it too.....

-It is a truth universally acknowledge that only women give birth, not man.So, we have to carry another life for 9 months, gaining heaps of weight, looking uber unattractive during the 9 months and also after the birth, endure pain during childbirth.Men don't have to go through all that....Prior to that, a woman also has perform her duty as a wife and also mother, looking after her family while we also want to achieve success in carrier.It is tough being a woman these days.....

....but, let's have both sides be heard.It is tough too being a guy these days, I think.Such difficulties are;-

-It is also a truth universally acknowledge that a guy must 'woo' the girl(well, these days, it works both ways...).In that process, the guy must have at least a sufficient amount of cash.This is because they need the money to take their girlfriends out for dinner(although some people happily go dutch in this case), pamper them with cute or expensive gifts and whatnot...later, the guy has to save some money too for weddings(Mostly marriages in the Malay culture, i think) and later also when they have a family.They work damn hard to make ends meet in order to provide a better life for their wife and children.Some guys might be lucky that they earn more and have a comfortable working environment.For some, they wish that they can provide more for their family.....

So, i do think that it is tough for both genders actually. There's pros and cons of being Mars and Venus.
