A man and his wife were out for dinner one evening with another couple. Over dinner, the discussion somehow got around to the roles that men and women lead in society.
After many minutes of healthy and lively discussion, the husband made the fatal blunder of proposing the idea that a man’s world was far tougher to live in than that of a woman’s.
After all, he was the one slaving away at the office for forty hours every week. His wife was quick to counter with the fact that many women have careers, yet they still manage to see to it that the regular housework gets done as well.
They argued through the rest of dinner and long into the evening, but a clear winner was not forthcoming.
Which sex actually has the tougher time of it in life?
Is it harder to be a man in society or is it harder to be a woman?
