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.

"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..

People who ignore domestic terrorism

No violence is acceptable in any way.

I fully agree with this. If a man hits a woman it's NEVER OK, but even when a woman is physically abusive, the majority of people argue that it's still not okay for a man to fight back physically. Yet those same people arguing that, like to argue that men and women should be treated equal, and that lack of equality is the biggest issue with society!

This one is weird to me, not because it's wrong but because I never knew that a woman hitting a man was even moderately acceptable. Growing up my grandmother was always stronger than my grandfather so when they fought it was on more equal grounds. So I was taught that all violence was wrong no matter the gender.

agree with that. you can add: if the man let himself be hit he's weak but if he hit back he's an a*****e

it actually isn't

No?!

A man who is sexually assaulted is a pussy....

It is? That's news to... damn near everybody.

When I was studying abroad, in England, I used to see drunk women at parties regularly hit men and the men laughed it off. I was dumbfounded. It was neither cute nor funny and it could end terribly for both parties. It seemed to be a common occurrence.

A good Communist came up with this drivel.

I mean if a woman hits a man out of anger it's like ok? But if a man hits a woman out of anger it's like ABUSE OF WOMEN

doesnt matter who hits who, once violence still violence

That's b******t. Who says that? I've never heard that.

That may be true for you but it isn't for most of the rest of us.

I REALLY DON'T ACCEPT THAT AS ACCEPTABLE DISPLAY OF ANGER IN ANY WAY.

Often female hitting is view as flirtatious.

Or self defense.

No, it’s viewed as domestic violence.

Not in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, It's called Domestic Abuse and either party can go to jail

Another one that's not true. Violence is frowned upon from either side but what people don't want to take into consideration that a lot of males [especially violent ones] are much stronger than their counter parts and very often have killed with one punch [even if they didn't plan it], something a petite female couldn't do. That's why, not because of some flimsy sexism BS.

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 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.
