Someone Asked For Examples Of Double Standards In Our Society, And Here Are The 57 Best Examples

This one has always bothered me.

wait is that true? on what logic does this based on?

Yeah, no, around here we call men out on "manstruating". ;)

Y'know, because of this stupid double standard, I find out almost impossible to cry when I need to let go of sorrow and pain. There's many a time I wished I could cry but couldn't.

thats patriarchy in a nutshell

A man that cries is a good man and a strong man because he has compassion and feelings and is able to show it. Her is nothing wrong with showing feelings,it shows great strength

I cried in office once due to personal matters. The rumours lasted for years.

This one is true, and I hate it as much as anyone else, but still I, a woman, feel too embarrassed to cry in public. So, this double standard is useless for females and harmful for males (and females too, in the end, because we cohabitate, and it's all a chain reaction with various consequences).

This screws up men. It is terrible to have to keep all those feelings inside.

also men are apparently not allowed to show their emotions which this makes them appear 'weak' which is why men suicide rates are so much higher because they can't express their emotions and stuff

I'm just emotional...

Well....truthly I guess I am guilty of this one.....Man up you b***h! Just kidding!

BOOOOOO

A *pretty* woman crying is natural. A not so pretty one crying is creepy and disgusting (same for men).

"bossy"

Still can't believe that this man is the actual president of the United States of America. What the hell is wrong with that country???

Not all teachers are great.. They are humans and as in all areas, some can be pretty crappy humans. I had some awesome teachers, but also had my share of bad ones..

When I go home with someone, I write a quick Whatsapp to a close friend who I go out with and where he lives. In case I will get murdered the police will has more clues.

That newspaper headline is absolutely appalling.

This one is especially bad. Grey hair should be seen as a sign of wisdom, not age. Also, i think this is a stereotype because women tend to dye their hair more often than men.

I've met plenty of creepy cute people, and some truly charasmatic, intelligent, funny "not-so-cute" (according to once culture's very limited, commercialised interpretation of "cute") people who I adore spending time with.

I always get told I'm skinny. People don't think anything of it, but it's starting to hurt.

The grown up equivalent of sticking fingers in your ears and going "LALALALALALALALA!"

at least gamers are better thinkers than phoners (if that word exists)

Calling yourself "pro-life" but campaigning against healthcare that would save and improve millions of lives...

Sexism is wrong either way around!

I LOVE this one!

This is so true... I have many friends who have had this experience when dating. We often discuss if it's a trend in society today, that people don't want to compromise, but wish for their potential partners to be a perfect match.

I am an avid horror film fan and this has bothered me a lot. I personally find sex scenes stupid and unnecessary and have often found myself to chose a 13 rated film over an 18 because I can expect more gore and less sex. That shouldn't be.

of course,HE won't ....

It's 'pot calling the kettle black'..

This is so true!

Let me be pedantic and point out that Eric here did not mean "sexually or sexyly kissing". Just a simple pek on the cheeck between two men is enough to make most of the people freak out.

Well, I consider this girl funny but not because she's overweight, she just looks like a funny, cheerful person.

HOP called for Franken's resignation while being led by Trump who bragged about groping women.

so your only angry American Gis were killed? not all the millions of allied fighters trying to protect the world from at tyrannical regime or the millions of innocent Jews? This is a good point but its worded really badly. All Nazis are evil no matter when they live/lived or what country they are from.

Religion requires victims.

We already did this one, ...

I think that this is completely unfair, so I rebel by only shaving twice a month and only in spring and early autumn, for this is the time when you have to go to school and the weather is hot.

I'm so tired of getting called a witch when I just casually fly over the street >:C.

What's the context of the man harrassing teens?

Depends how harmful the opinion is: "I don't like a tv show" vs. "Kill all f**s".

Describe himself as a self-made man, started his business with dad's money...
