Let's do this pro/con style (and this is just my opinion, so no offense to those of you who like the male bits):
Men -
Pro:
* Usually get paid more for the same amount of work.
* Can carry heavier things (usually)
* Don't have to suffer periods
* Uh, am I missing anything?
Con:
* Genitals are ugly. Sorry, it's true.
* Orgasms are shorter and less fulfilling (scientifically guestimated)
* More and worse acne
* Can't get pregnant
* Usually lose custody rights if they get divorced
* Usually have to pay money to ex-wife even without custody rights
* Subject to draft/conscription in many countries, many countries mandatory service for 2+ years
* Often expected to provide all or most of the income for the entire family
* More likely to be violent
* Expected not to admit to or talk about vulnerable emotions
* Hurts a zillion times more if you get kicked in the gonads.
* I'm sure there's some I've forgotten.
Women -
Pro:
* More clothing options
* Less clothing expectations
* Can admit vulnerablity and talk about emotions without being ridiculed
* Can get pregnant
* Usually get custody rights
* Less acne
* Usually not subject to draft or mandatory service (only exception I can think of is Israel)
* Less violent
* Not always expected to provide most/all income for family
* (In my opinion) more attractive physical features
* Better/more orgasms
Con:
* Periods
* More likely to be subject to violence from men (I blame men for this)
* In some countries, expected to put family over personal ambition (but this is personal choice)
* More pressure to conform to some ideal of beauty
* Usually get paid less for same work
I'm sure people in the man-camp have more pros on the men side and more cons on the women side, but from my perspective it's pretty slanted towards woman-are-better
.
