Introduction: There are a number of possible advantages and disadvantages associated with being male or female. These do not necessarily apply to all males or females.

Mostly males that don’t control there emotions end up in special classes in schools or being recommended to a counsellor or even worse ending up in jail. Another is that boys are expected to hold in there emotions to seem tough but when they do let out there emotions they are seen as weak. Advantages of being female: •Women can show there emotions •The Live expectancy of females are longer than males •There are 1100 males in jail but only 200 girls in jail in Australia •Only 25 percent of school suspensions are females.

Also they are less likely to take up a job that could be dangerous so they are less likely to die at work. Also females live expectancy is longer than males which count in the long run. Disadvantages of females: •Sticky floors (stuck in the lower paid Positions) •Glass ceilings (can see the managerial jobs but can’t get to them as easily as males) •Less chance of getting property •Less likely getting retirement savings ( super annuation) •Less likely to have long service leave •Abused (eg.

Also some girls are pictured as dumb and mass consumers and that stops them from getting some loans and being trusted. Another thing is that women are seen as being weaker than men so they are more likely to be physically assaulted by males. Conclusion: I think males and females are equal we both have a lot of advantages and disadvantages. Females can’t do some of the stuff males can and males can’t do some of the stuff females can. So I think everything should be equal for females and males.
