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.

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.

Oh can I upvote this 1000 Times?!?! Illness has kept me from putting on weight no matter how hard I try. Strangers think it's fine to comment all the time that I 'need to eat a sandwich'. One day I got so fed up I yanked up my shirt and said, "if you can fit it through the tube, I'll be happy to 'eat' it!" He almost fainted.

who do you know that only thinks one of those is rude? Those are both rude comments and potentially hurtful. I wonder if you aren't really noting the difference between fat shaming and skinny shaming? Fat shaming is backed by an entire system of discrimination whereas being skinny is overall promoted as a positive in many western cultures. Hurt feelings are painful but not the same as systemic discrimination.

Let's make this acronym a thing: ABAB - All Bodies Are Beautiful.

I feel this! There's just no pleasing the world... too skinny, too fat, too tall, not tall enough. Bah!

ANY kind of body shaming is unacceptable.

Just saying, I'm a skinny girl who can't gain weight. Seeing adds for clothes with curvy women with huge assets makes me feel like s**t. Hearing songs that say things like "f**k skinny bitches" makes me feel like s**t. Ex would always show me porn of women with assets 10x larger than mine, told me to start regimes to make this bigger or that bigger, breast enhancement creams...clearly you and the rest of society want something else.

"you're so thin a slight breeze could make you snap" "does your mom feed you?" "oh my gosh you remind me of concentration camp people" "you're a bean pole" "you're so bony it's uncomfortable to hug you. you need more meat on your body" :)))) can. I. just. f*****g. live. thanks.

I've had people mention how skinny I am. Some people are envious though I can eat whatever want and not get fat.

Just don't comment on people's bodies, but I think some people think telling them they are skinny is a compliment because ya know fat phobia

I am very skinny and I constantly joke about it.

This is so true! Get called a beanpole etc. all the time, ruined my confidence.

agree. it should be okay to tell fat people to diet.

When I was younger, I got that a lot.

Because skinny people don't suffer near as much. No skinny person is given a wide berth on a bus or train, they aren't required to buy two plane tickets, and being skinny is not seen as a moral failing.

because everyone wanna be skinny and no one wanna be fat

The world doesn’t hate a skinny b***h for being a skinny b***h that’s why it’s okay!

This one to me is kind of neat because it is something that is not as charged as sex, or race. At least for me it allows me to ponder my own thoughts to see how something (being a overweight person) I just can't imagine could be hurtful really is. Thanks for the comments everyone. Very insightful.

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!
