46 Examples Of Double Standards In Our Society That You’re Probably Guilty Of

So true!!!! :-(

I get fake geek girl all the time! I wear big glasses, I dress differently and I do occasionally play games. People I know say I'm trying to be a fake geek girl or gamer girl and I have no idea what they mean. I'm not trying to be anything I'm just comfy this way! I'm glad it's not just me who experiences this

Woman's face though: "I live among idiots. Honestly, do you think that I want your f***ing opinion?"

Summed up in six pictures!

Let's blame this one on Hollywood.

Finally, one where the man isn't an a**hole!

You go girl!

so true lol

That's really annoying. I only have an experience as a passer-by or a witness but I can say some people indeed are narrow-minded enough to act like that.

Double standards both ways in one comic. Finally <3

I really like that it shows double standards go both ways!

this is the best one....showing both sides on the most common topics...

So what really annoyed me was when I had a female employee who worked really hard on a project and knew it in and out. So we went to the meeting with (male)client - and he'd only talk to me. Every question was to me, and every time I'd turn to Ms. and repeat the question, and she'd answer. Then next question, again to me. I mean, if it's not to vulgar, WTF? She was the expert who'd lead the project ajdnInwas there only as her boss who'd assigned her the project she'd done so well. But, being a male, apparently I was the expert, no matter what. Sickening.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that it is scientifically proven that crying releases hormones that make you upset, and is therefore beneficial to you. And even if that isn't true, I still think that people should be able to cry no matter what gender.

I see lots of debate that double standards don't exist. I'd like to share something I noticed. I've been binge watching shameless US. Male gendered character, first of his family to attend uni. Trying to be a conscientious student. Roommates girlfriend treats him like s**t. One night she's bored with her boyfriend and sneaks from his bed to the male characters & begins sucking his d**k while he's asleep (for those playing at home sexual assault and 'rape culture'?) He objects but she finishes anyway. (Rape). She decides she wants him rather than the boyfriend & becomes very pushy and controlling, setting timetables for when he can do pretty much anything. She notices he's getting annoyed with this & uses money and gifts to try to keep him. He becomes infatuated with another. She becomes angry & confronts him publicly, yelling and abusing him. She punches him in the face making his nose and mouth bleed. (DV). Crowd bursts into cheering & spontaneous applause.

ugh! I have lived it, live it now and will probably always live it. I think it makes me stronger

Good balance in one strip, finally!

This is good

there´s stuff that regardless of gender you should never post online.

Not all of them are actually true. We know a few guys whose wives/gf left and they were extremely upset and everyone helped them in a lot of ways. Some of them are true and others could have been more real. A man who has sex a lot gets all the admirations of his mates, whilst a woman is called a hoe and a s**t.

Another one: Oh, you got beat up by a woman, you're weak. Oh no, he hit you, that piece of s**t deserves to rot in jail! These double standards piss me off, why are so many of these biased against men?

I'm a woman, but I still get shunned by others (especially my counselor) for crying. Is this normal?

Funny

husband beats wife... 'the guy is a bastard!' wife beats husband... 'the guy is such a loser!'

the second last one is just plain abrasive

This was the best one!

These are all the same meanings, just used for the opposite sex... They provoke the same feelings. Just another play on words, like most of this article.

Maybe biology/evolution has something to do with it? Women and men are different. Men are biologically expendable, no one gives a f**k about your feelings. That's why men are not supposed to cry. Women on the other hand are not expendable. An explanation is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhAE8g9lxWo&t=480s but honestly I thought evolutionary reasoning along the lines of gender is widely understood.

And, again, the problem about heteropatriarchy affects mainly to womans. If some man is considered "coward", for exemple, he "just" needs to avoid this reaction, but women are considered per se frightened and weak, it is not negative because it is their nature.

Horny? Hmm... Never heard that. Try "pervert" instead.

The fact that they are both eating the same thing in the same portion size just really makes this extra sad.

F*k this stereotype, I'm the best at math in my class :p

That reminds me of the man who made the experience of signing all his emails by a female name for a week to talk about gender inequality in doing business. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/what-happened-when-a-man-signed-work-emails-using-a-female-name-for-a-week_us_58c2ce53e4b054a0ea6a4066

So damn true. One time I overheard my coworkers talking and these two guys were discussing about "girls who put makeup are so insecure, it's like they couldn't even go out without makeup if their life depended on it". Then another day in the same week, I was so tired I decided not to put makeup. The very same guy saying this was like "omg what happened to your face?". Yeah no wonder why women are "so insecure"...

Can I just say that I love the art style of this one? <3

Women don't get round, they get curvy in all the right places. And that's sexy af.

This election just wrecked me, all hope was lost.

That's true. Girls get bashed if she slept with a guy then that guy spreads a rumor abt them. Guy gets cheered on and a girl gets bashed.

If you're a true pro-life, instead of blaming a stranger, do something towards building a society where abortion is not needed. Same goes for (extremist) pro-choicers - instead of hating on some women's decisions, let's do something towards building society where abortion is not something a womam does because "she had no other choice".

I think only women have a problem with this. I can't imagine guy's really finding this a big deal. XD Also on the beach people sunbathe topless as well so. As far as armpit hair. Well you're free to do it. But people are also free to not find you attractive then. But there are all kinds of things people find attractive and not attractive so I don't really see a problem.

very well done! and the girl in the second instance doesn't even get a speech-bubble, let alone a date!

True

Why are people like that?! When boys get laid everyone is proud! When girls get it they get punished!

The second one will always be an idiotic statement, for both male and female. I hear it a lot, yet don't understand why it's a race to get intimate with another person. It's a personal experience and (can be) something special, on top of that: It's none of another's business, and if those think it is, they're the ones leading a sad life. Sure, the term "Lucky at cards, unlucky in love" is on it's place in this regard, but luck can switch lanes now and then.

Have we totally forgotten how milf went ? Not that that was great but, seriously ? Which one do we pick? Can we just be who we are, male, female, or however, and just be happy? The insecurity is mind blowing to me, on behalf of the observer!

How is this a relevant comparison? How about comparing the reaction you get as a male when telling someone about being a victim of sexual assault.

To be fair, the vagina is the inside part. So...

I dont agree that only weak men show emotion. It's nice to see a man who has emotions instead of trying to act like they are made of stone, with no feelings.

I'm more like the right half. And I'm fine.

Honestly, I have a problem with either gender of superhero being displayed in a sexual manner.

I think they over sexualize super heroes, but there is a difference. The male characters are being portrayed as strong, the women as sexual. If female super heros looked more like Serena Williams or Kerri Walsh it would be different.

We were playing around, play fighting when I kicked my husband in the balls. It wasn't on purpose and I instantly felt horrible as he spent about 5 minutes in pain on the floor. The worst he got me was an elbow to the nose that caused a nose bleed, and one where he slammed my back into the thermostat. Literally last week my husband asked "Why don't we wrestle anymore" and all that flashed through my head. I don't like the idea of women hitting men any more than a man hitting a woman. The only fighting I am okay with is play fighting.

That has never worked for me.

I don't agree with this one. Men get a lot of pressure on their bodies, as much as women. There is not a single person I met who said that they should "accept themselves" as a way to solve their problems (with getting laid). On the same note, any magazine cover will show that makeup is not a way to solve problems, or there wouldn't be 254 pages of the "new amazing diet already used by 45 stars that will make you lose weight before you even realize it". And we also have countless articles on "accept yourself and screw who doesn't, you don't need them anyway"...
