Both women and men have certain 'advantages' over the other.
One of the differences is that men tend more to the extreme's of good and bad. You will see more men in the very high circles and more men in the very low circles. This mostly comes from evolution where men are more 'disposable' then women. There's a reason that most women are considered before men in situations of danger.
In general men are more quickly assumed to be independent then women. This is both a burden and a blessing in one.

Women are in general better able to make deep bonds with eachother. Men have more of a tendency to make a lot of superficial bonds, this is especially important in the business world. One of the reasons women have it more difficult here.

Women are also in general better tuned in socially, they pick this area up more easily and readily then men. Again evolution, in ancient times the best means for a women to survive was her ability to connect and bond with other members of the group.

So there are both advantages and disadvantages for both men and women. Because men are more heavily present in both extremes and you don't generally see the men at the bottom of the totem pole people often mistakenly think that women have it worse.

This does not mean that both have difficult challenges to tackle in there life and these are merely tendency's of nature.

I would gain more respect in this world.

This depends on the social position you earned or inherited, more so if your a man.

I would be treated like my opinion counted or what I had to offer was worth something.

Perceptions of other people do not change the value you have to offer.

All the men get together and do things and "bond."

One thing you could do is bond with more men. You'd have to be able to stand the blond jokes and similar jokes not in your favor if you want to be accepted as one of the boys, a favorite past time for men is to take playfull shots at each others 'weak points'.

All the men are "important" in some way to society.

Not entirely true, the thing is that the men at the bottom usually ♥♥♥♥♥ amongst eachother about how bad they've got it. So other people generally don't hear about it.

Why can't I have this too?
