Is there any country where men actually "have it better"?

UglyDude1987 · 2024-02-03T20:04:32+00:00

The problem is that in "patriarchal" societies it always was only the minority of men on top that benefited while the majority of the men died in the ditches.

Francis_Dollar_Hide · 2024-02-03T17:56:07+00:00

Uncontacted tribes.

ButWhatOfGlen · 2024-02-03T18:04:51+00:00

Good question, I'll be following...

iainmf · 2024-02-03T18:58:04+00:00

I don't think there is an objective way to establish who has it better in a general sense. The problem is you have to make subjective judgments about what is more important.

If you narrow the scope to something like health, the justice system, education etc, then it is easier to determine who has it better.

BookwormNinja · 2024-02-03T18:42:37+00:00

I've wondered about this before too. In the few places that come to mind, the men have more rights but things are difficult and dangerous for both genders in most of those places. I think it's going to be an uphill battle to make things better, regardless of where we live.

adam-l · 2024-02-03T19:52:43+00:00

You've got to look into two statistics: longevity (women live longer in every country today) and subjective happiness (women are happier about everywhere).

2024-02-03T22:35:03+00:00

Usually any country in which the west deems “less progressive”.

Reasonable-Tea-8160 · 2024-02-03T23:09:13+00:00

It depends on what you mean by 'have it better'

Socially? Probably none. It's extremely lonely, alienating and hard to be a man (especially if you're heterosexual and white. You'll find you have no long-lasting comradery, even among other white heterosexual man, at least in the USA)

That being said, it's not much better for women. You'll never see a girl walking down a city block or empty street in the dead of night, but a man could get away with it (depending on what he looks like. Most criminals don't attack buff, tall, angry looking dudes but would jump at the opportunity to attack someone who's an easier target - aka most women)

Financially? Once again, it depends. Almost solely upon which path you took in life. Men are usually drawn to trades but even so, a women can get a trade school degree in mechanics, engineering, etc.

The Man vs Woman argument doesn't hold up as much now-a-days. It's like comparing apples to oranges. Living as a Man is MILES different from living as a Woman. Our experiences are our own and while there will be similarities between the sexes, most of it is all summed up to different lifestyles.

I'd say it's pretty equal across the board, just different with some trade-offs between certain aspects.

Honestly, it comes down to Class, Status and Money rather than sex. A Rich Man vs A Rich Woman lives a vastly different between a A Rich Man vs Poor Woman or Rich Woman vs Poor Man.

Nowhere

NCC-1701-1 · 2024-02-03T23:10:55+00:00

Muslim countries, as lomg as you are not tapped to fight for some fucker in a bathrobe and stupid booties

2024-02-03T18:58:16+00:00

Not in 2024

Edit: not until the lights go out and the plumbing stops working around the world (I predict soon)

2024-02-03T19:54:06+00:00

Anyone who said life in the Middle East is better you’re buggin. No one’s free there. They are racist as fuck and if you’re not Muslim you’re fucked.

Who ever said life in the Middle East if better I encourage you to read these posts:

Saudi Arabia also has slaves and guess who a majority of those slaves are

riquelm · 2024-02-03T18:17:28+00:00

Saudi Arabia

rubenbenjamin · 2024-02-03T20:31:16+00:00

I can confidently say, the whole continent of Antartica

DecrepitAbacus · 2024-02-04T01:42:13+00:00

It doesn't matter where you go or when boys and men have always been expected to be able to deal with harsher treatment or circumstances than women and girls. This is the human default.

denvercaniac · 2024-02-03T18:29:00+00:00

Great question.

shit-zen-giggles · 2024-02-03T19:29:26+00:00

Vatican City since only men live there

il_nascosto · 2024-02-04T04:06:27+00:00

Yes, Muslim countries. Where women are ACTUALLY oppressed to the point where they cut their clits off. Not like American women who love playing the victim.

Huffers1010 · 2024-02-03T20:29:46+00:00

I doubt it.

There are places where very traditional attitudes to gender persist, but I'm not going to celebrate that, obviously. Nobody wants to live in, say, Afghanistan and nor does any sane human being who's experienced better think that's a reasonable way to run a country.

In places where things are fairer, well, things are fairer, and there's less differentiation between genders.

Illustrious_Delay565 · 2024-02-03T21:28:01+00:00

Much to many of your dismay, it’ll be the continent of Africa and the Middle East. Women are still VERY traditional and men have a lot of power as it pertains to their family and property. I’ve always found it ironic that the places with the most conservative ideals, who have actually been living by those ideals, are the so-called s***hole countries.

DoctorStorm · 2024-02-03T21:34:41+00:00

I have zero problems in Singapore, and zero problems in China. Hong Kong is becoming a bit of a mess, but still a great place in my opinion.

Singapore is fucking hot. China has very strict and high barriers to entry (this is a benefit and strength in my opinion). Hong Kong is huge and only requires a passport.

Countries with explicit western culture are all going to shit. Men have it better in eastern culture countries that are objectively more socially conservative than the cesspools over here.

Wadeem53 · 2024-02-03T19:29:00+00:00

Georgia, we're still very much "old fashioned", so yeah, we're good.

JazzPhobic · 2024-02-04T00:11:56+00:00

Central african countries.

If youre part of the military you can commit crimes and your fellows will only be mad at you for not including them.

Downside is good luck criticizing the place with the most black people on earth in todays social climate.

UrinialPooper · 2024-02-04T04:37:44+00:00

Eastern Europe is still very traditional, South America for the most part as well.

Wooper160 · 2024-02-04T13:08:54+00:00

Only in awful countries you wouldn’t want to live in

Johntoreno · 2024-02-04T13:45:35+00:00

I love how this threads like these attracts xenophobes&closeted racists, i don't know if this thread is bait or not but there's no country where Men have it "better". In Traditional Cultures, men are responsible for taking care of the family&tribe, should they fail to live up to their responsibility, they are left to rot&die.

All these replies saying "Hurr durr Islamic Nations bad" are just regurgitating FemNazi Media propaganda of non-western cultures being demonic patriarchies. The funny thing is that the same Western White men vehemently deny it when Feminists accuse the West of being a demonic patriarchy and yet have no problem agreeing with FemNazis when they call the non-western nations a patriarchy, Smoothbrained Xenophobia at its best.

hasbulla_magomedov · 2024-02-05T07:18:24+00:00

Honestly maybe only in Muslim countries where women can’t show their faces or do literally anything. Other than that, I’d say majority of men have it worse than women. Most people associate all men with the top 1% of men in terms of power and privilege, when in reality the 99% of men bear the hard labor and difficulties of this world

Unpopularopinion341 · 2024-02-03T23:48:28+00:00

I just got back from the DR I don't know about the laws but from my experience it is definitely a male centric place , you get treated well as a male

Angryasfk · 2024-02-03T23:50:19+00:00

Most of the middle east. I mean, minus all the war

rcpogi · 2024-02-03T23:52:45+00:00

Muslim countries

RealHunter08 · 2024-02-03T23:57:38+00:00

The majority of Islamic countries

ILikeCutePuppies · 2024-02-04T07:44:27+00:00

In countries where men have it much better than women, it is only because the women are subjugated. They are not allowed to drive, can't go out without a man, need to cover their face. I don't think the men have it better than a man in a first world country, but they certainly have it better than women in those countries. I would never want to live in one of those crap holes of a country where they treat people (especially women) like that.

pacsatonifil · 2024-02-03T18:46:28+00:00

Africa, islamic countries.

RoyalDog57 · 2024-02-03T23:00:12+00:00

All middle eastern countries because women are heavily oppressed in those countries

2024-02-03T18:29:52+00:00

What does better mean? It's probably situational. In the U.S., men have it better in some ways and worse in others. How that all balances out is tough to judge.

I think it's impossible to determine except specific areas.

keepmovingon69 · 2024-02-03T18:18:49+00:00

Japan and any country under Sharia law

Negus808 · 2024-02-03T20:29:07+00:00

probably iran. or saudi arabia, or eau. not even japan/korea/china is safe anymore. maybe the southern asian states like india or thailand (being a man actually makes it harder to get raped there but not impossible) i’d also add the poorer states of africa as a whole.

ZeuxisOfHerakleia · 2024-02-03T22:52:49+00:00

Pretty much every country that follows the islam

abarua01 · 2024-02-03T21:32:32+00:00

Any Islamic nation

Shoot4321 · 2024-02-03T23:14:33+00:00

Every country if you actually try...

ThePiachu · 2024-02-03T20:00:03+00:00

Up until the war with Ukraine - Russia maybe. Deeply dysfunctional country that has eroded some women's rights to the point the police won't come to domestic abuse calls that result in women getting killed by their husbands and so on. Then again, it being such a shitty country, your outlooks in life aren't that great if you are a guy...

Other than that, from what I heard of Afganistan it's a shitty place for women - can't get an education, have restrictive Sharia law, etc. Still a shitty place to live.

Additional_Insect_44 · 2024-02-03T19:03:23+00:00

Possibly certain middle east nations.

IvorHarding-117 · 2024-02-03T19:20:56+00:00

Japan

iSubParMan · 2024-02-03T22:15:38+00:00

Saudi Arabia I guess.

Forsaken_Hat_7010 · 2024-02-03T20:10:59+00:00

Any less developed country. I don't think anyone would want to be a woman in Africa, India, the middle east, even China sucks for women.

worriedafsomeonehelp · 2024-02-03T19:24:21+00:00

Holy shit, yes. Yes, a shit ton. There’s no way you’re all this out of touch.

sanitaryinspector · 2024-02-03T19:16:03+00:00

I think any country where men are much more uneducated than women, to the point that their self segregation is justified

amey_wemy · 2024-02-03T22:44:54+00:00

Ngl, actually some matriarchies seem decent. If I can recall correctly the mosuo clan, a matriarch have the women take responsibility in many areas. People are allowed to have multiple lovers and pregnancy would result in the mother having to take care of the child without responsibility falling on the possible father.

Mendoiiiy · 2024-02-04T02:15:06+00:00

Yea? There are entirely patriarical societies as well as like, Russia? The us? This shit ain't even hard to find.

Dogeza111 · 2024-02-04T11:37:56+00:00

Most Muslim Countries

Automatic_Survey_307 · 2024-02-03T18:58:27+00:00

Yes lots where women don't have full rights or where sexism and machismo are widely accepted. Lots of African and middle eastern countries, India, Latin America etc.

Spiritswords · 2024-02-04T02:21:37+00:00

Colombia

Sabrepill · 2024-02-04T05:21:59+00:00

Muslim countries and African countries. If you are higher value than the other men there

WentToGetCigarettes · 2024-02-04T07:08:51+00:00

Only in the podcast room of fresh and fit lol. There's a safe place ahahaha.

AK47WithScope · 2024-02-04T07:29:44+00:00

Vatican for sure

Calm-Cry4094 · 2024-02-04T07:36:45+00:00

Not that I know off.

Better in what sense? More right? Well, men can drive cars in Saudi.

Better in actual results? Men tend to be richer but we work harder for it. Smart pretty women can get our money by spreading legs to us.

Ugly women will live pretty miserable life. If they work like men they are less competent. Also working hard for women will usually mean being childless under libertarian regime.

So yea I am happy I am a man.

2024-02-04T08:26:12+00:00

I heard that in Sweden, Belgium, and Denmark there is default 50/50 child custody after divorce.

Some countries also have a limit on alimony.

Lyonsmade · 2024-02-04T08:52:48+00:00

Any Muslim country…. At a guess

2024-02-04T09:32:36+00:00

Dubai.

2024-02-04T10:03:58+00:00

Non-existencia! Such a cool place! Full of....and.....!

Pretty much, no. Everywhere is going to have its fair share of morons, no country is exempt.

BertyBastard · 2024-02-04T11:20:38+00:00

Yes - any muslim country.

2024-02-04T15:24:03+00:00

Middle East.

CatacombsRave · 2024-02-04T15:46:26+00:00

Maybe somewhere in the Arab World; Egypt might be one, or the DRC.

Mannspreader · 2024-02-04T16:17:22+00:00

Saudi Arabia, Malaysia...

PristinePilot6599 · 2024-02-04T19:01:08+00:00

Maybe North Korea mate

CriticalDetail7156 · 2024-02-04T21:01:33+00:00
