Whilst men and women each have their own struggles to contend with, there are certain advantages in life for each gender. Recently, one user on r/AskReddit wondered what these were and asked, "What is easier to do if you're a woman?"

There are some surprising answers, including ones where we'd never imagine that the physical difference gives them the upper hand. There are also a few that bring up some interesting points about how men are considered in society compared to the ‘fairer’ gender. Check out the best answers that we've collected below.

Woman helping child with drawing at a small table, illustrating things easier if you're a woman in everyday life. Work with children. As someone who works in early childhood education I've had the cops called on me three times when I took my kiddos to the park. Thankfully I know the beat cop quite well so it has never caused me any real issues, but the fact that people see "Adult man...interacting with children???" and assume I'm a violent predator honestly hurts a lot. My team is all big, burly, heavily tattooed men, but we are all insanely qualified to do our jobs, but that all means nothing to some random Karen who sees scary-looking me give piggyback rides or do a girl's braids. I had a bad childhood and just want to care of the little ones, kindly [screw] off.

    Two young women hugging on a sunny sidewalk surrounded by trees and flowers, showcasing life easier if you're a woman. Physical contact? If I feel like it if I need a hug, I can just cuddle with my girlfriends. I don't think it's that easy for guys...

    COCOOIL body oil bottle on a wooden surface with a glass bottle and small potted plant background, illustrating ease for women. Small thing but telling what a lotion/deodorant/body wash/shampoo smells like by the label. Women’s is just labeled like vanilla or lavender but men’s get dumb names like wolf hawk or champion.

    Two women enjoying a playful conversation while sitting on swings in a sunny park setting with trees around. Compliment any complete stranger. As a dude, I have to very careful complimenting strangers. I will actually tell my wife, “check her hair out, it’s super cool. Will you tell her?” And she will, and it made that stranger’s day. Just wish I could do that more often without being seen as creepy. This especially applies to children. It’s a big no-no for a 41 year old guy to compliment a child saying they look super pretty. Woman - no issue.

    Woman scuba diving near colorful coral reef, exploring underwater environment with diving gear and mask in deep ocean. Here’s a fun one! Women are generally better at conserving air while scuba diving. I teach scuba and 95% of the time my female students could stay down twice as long on their first dive than their male counterparts. It’s a big pick me up for so many tiny women who think all the heavy gear is going to set them back from the big muscular guys.

    Woman working on a laptop in a modern conference room, highlighting things easier if you're a woman in a work setting. Sales. Seriously females salespeople are on average much more successful than their male counterparts. In my industry (industrial sales), it's an open understanding that our typical sales contact (older middle-aged male) is much more interested in talking to females than males. Huge sales buff if you are young AND at least a little attractive. If you are a hard working, quick witted and social young female looking for a high paying job without education requirements, I would strongly encourage you to look into B2B sales. All of the technical knowledge you can learn on the job.
