First of all, I think that we are all agree that we can not complain about our place in the society as men. Unfortunately, women still have to deal with strerotypes and other issues. It is true that boys are pressured to be strong, tough,etc.; in the other hand, girls are pressured to be pretty, take care of their appearance, etc. and this is a huge burden. Just look at most of the fashion commercials.
At work, women are still disadvantaged. In france, there was a study showing that, with equal qualification, women are paid less. Women will be expected to voice concerns in a softer way.
Really, I think that, from a society's standpoint, being a man is far much easier.
However, few years ago appears some king of new "feminism" (let's call it spice girls girls power) which the message was mostly that being a girl is cool and fun, to be proud of be a woman and endorse feminity. It was a less "thorough" feminism (from mypoint of view) and in a way it reinforce stereotypes. I have to admit that it appeals to me (why can I enjoy walking in these pretty heels too ?).
Maybe it increases my wish to crossdress but I do not think that it triggers my crossdressing. It was already inside me.
