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.

calling yourself "pro-life" but only caring about the fetus till it born

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".

Healthy food is expensive and hard to produce.

Paul Ryan is a waste of oxygen on the face of this planet!

Congress makes retirement (Social security) and healthcare mandates for us, and then exempt themselves.

lol. Thats funny

You left out the women who also accuse Trump.

It's like, a dozen spiders had a contest on his head, to build the whispiest webs! I'm so obsessed with his weird hair n orange tan! Lol. At the very least, he's good meme fodder!

Omg, that GIF! Loool!

I Romania you can stay all day long on a beach topless, nobody boders you. In mall or restaurant nobody goes in topless, man or woman. But on beach you are free.

What does PDA stand for?

I don't really see the double standard here... I'm vegeterian AND I donc "discard carelessly my rubbish", so what's the point ? Is there like an "exclusively vegeterian rubbish polluting the ocean" that I'm not aware of ? It concerns everyone actually, no matter what we eat !

known these kind of people all my life.....

I'm a man, i had fat titties, jogging without tops is not a good idea.

Yeah you are a perv if the naked person is in their bedroom and your peering through her window. If their walking down the street then its indecent exposure

To be fair here, the current POTUS gets away with things that would land most of us unwashed masses squarely behind bars, so. . .

ive never praised my friends for sleeping around...

Seems pretty consistent. Where's the competing standard?

I don't see where its acceptable for a guy to have multiple partners... he's still a cheater and gets dumped the same way a girl would be...

I don't see that as a double standard. But rather an informed critique.
