I had an appointment with my GP at 8.30 AM. I was her first patient of that day. She showed up at 8.55 without as much as an apology. So I told her that I'd be looking for a new GP who was able to read the clock and knew what respect for their patients meant. I left her office telling her that I wasn't interested in her diagnose, because someone as unprofessional as her could not be trusted. It took me some effort, but I found a GP who does know how to manage his time.

People Are Pointing Out What Double Standards They’re Tired Of (35 Answers) There are a lot of double standards between the genders that need to die, many of which have been touched on in the thread, but I'll share one from quite literally a few days ago.

I'm male and have a pretty good-sized beard. At a social gathering the other day, a woman complimented it but then asked "Do you ever let people stroke it?" I replied that I did not, but then another woman spoke up with "Well why not? Isn't it flattering? Wouldn't you like the attention?" Not at all hostile, just blatantly "Why not?"

To that I replied "How would you feel if someone walked up to you and said 'Oh I love your hair, can I run my fingers through it?'" while miming making a stroking motion.

She recoiled and said "Of course not. That's super creepy." Followed almost a second later by a round-eyed "OH."

Ladies/Gentlemen, if you don't want someone doing it to you, then why would you think it would be okay for you to do it to someone else?

German Gargicevich 3 years ago

I'm not ok with people (and their families, guardians, state) being diagnosed with a serious mental illness and not being treated. For example, Squizofrenia es a very grave malady, even when being called Bipolar Disorder. I have been a witness of individuals creating mayhem, and afterward, calmy saying, "Oh, I have bipolar disorder." The supreme court ruling that found "free of involuntary institutionalization" sufferers of mental illnesses does not make them healed. Also, nobody indeed wants to pay for treatment, so many are ending in the streets are wrongly called homeless, drug addicts, prostitutes, petty criminals, and jails and prisons main population. Mental illnesses should be covered by Medicaid, long-term, and free of charge due to their impact on society. Individual action, other than personally financing the full treatment of a sufferer, always will fall short. Good intentions and acceptance are mostly self-gratification.

People Are Pointing Out What Double Standards They’re Tired Of (35 Answers) In regards to the NFL, a head coach was fired because of racist and homophobic emails. He ABSOLUTELY deserves to be fired, absolutely.

These men are still in the league.

The double standard that I am sick of is that in the NFL for some reason words are treated way more harshly than actual physical violence.

That is ancient from back when the bride's parents paid for everything except your and your groomsmen's tuxes. It's the 21st century. The couple get to plan it together. Bride and groom or groom and groom or bride and bride. I'll just throw this in. Even if the only attire you can afford are PJ'S at the courthouse, try to pay for it yourself. The minute the parents start to chip in a significant $, you just both may have lost control of the whole thing. There are parents out there who will now take control of whatever they're helping pay for because it's their money, therefore their say. Been there. Done that.

She has had 3 interviews and been denied the higher level and instead they have hired outsiders that don't have the experience. My mum has had enough, she has told them to no longer give her APS5 work. If she's not going to get paid for doing the more complicated stuff, then they can shove it. Her boss and bosses boss have vouched for her but because she works for the government there are specific guidelines they have to follow in regards to the hiring process.

David Struve 2 years ago (edited)

I, to my eternal shame, used to be in the camp thanks to my Catholic upbringing that abortion was wrong full stop. Then I learned about rape and incest. Even then I though "other than those two horrific things big whoop, she gets a bit "fat" and has some backpain, that's no excuse to terminate, every mother went through that and they survived" .... then I learned what the ACTUAL impacts can be on a pregnant woman's body after reading the story of a young mother whos TEETH FELL OUT (every single one of them!!) and who is constantly made fun of because of this, because it turns out (duh) that the developing foetus gets the calcium it needs for its bones from the mother's own calcium supply ... in her case it was the jaw bones and the teeth themselves. And that shocked me enough that I actually did some proper research. Now I'm 100% in the camp of "it's her body, her choice". Not to mention the immorality behind a complete stranger dictating what you can and cannot do with your own body.

No there isn't. A lot of places now have 0 tolerance laws and it doesn't matter what gender you are. The double standard is starting to thin out as people are realizing it's just as wrong for a girl to smack a guy around. Unfortunately men still feel shame, and are shamed by others, for coming forward. That's a societal problem but not necessarily a double standard where it's socially acceptable to the point we just accept it as it is the way it is.

Another double standard: Men are "allowed" to have gray hair, they're still attractive and desirable. Women need to dye their hair, otherwise they have supposedly given up and are no longer seen as attractive

This is more of a personal preference and a fear of aging. I'm not sure if it's an attractiveness thing or something else. My mom dyes her hair and continues until it's all white. She doesn't like the salt and pepper look. There are women who do dye their hair gray, and it's become a trend, and this is among 20 year olds. Some women just aren't ready to see themselves aging because it is scary. It's a reminder you're not immortal and one day you'll be old and one day you'll die. That is a very scary thing to think about it.

People saying that they are white and proud usually are racists. Black people have been told for ages that they basically amount to nothing, so to them it is defying the people who have been putting them all that time. White supremacists use "White and proud" as another attempt to insult POC. So sad that you aren't able to understand that.

The idea that ALL white people are racist purely because they are white - and for no other reason - and that it isn't even POSSIBLE for anyone who isn't white TO be a racist. This, in of itself, is a racist opinion to have. I have personally seen a lot of quite open and blatant racist comments directed towards white people by non-white people and nobody ever calls them out on it and if you try you're immediately branded a racist instead and they are defended to the hilt. Also this strange idea that white people cannot possibly understand what a slave went through because only black people were slaves, yet those same people claiming this have no idea that the very word "slave" itself comes from the slang for "Slavic" since at the time people from Slavic nations (who were most definitely white) were the most numerable slaves within the slave trade worldwide. The truth is almost every nation on earth has not only owned slaves at some point in time - every nation has had their citizens BE slaves too.

A guy I work with dashing out of the office 2 hours early for his kids baseball game, which was okay - and then the owner wants to start a detailed discussion with me, 5 minutes before I need to leave to catch my bus. (It took 3 buses and a trolley for the hour & 45 minute commute home). It happened repeatedly, even though I told him REPEATEDLY I had a bus to catch. I finally just told him he'd have to send me an email, which I would read when I got home. I never felt like my time was respected.

If atractive girls gets touched by non attractive drunk guy in bar,people will call it disgusting(and it is disgusting). Yet,if non attractive drunk woman does it to man,suddenly people find it not as disgusting and laugh at him instead of judging her

Most of these double standards exist because the majority of people still support them. Where a reasonable person might disagree with one double standard but will actively defend another. The usual reason is that it's convenient to them. Also ladies.....most of your double standards are reinforced by other women.

Male strippers who complain about women getting a bit hands on during shows and getting told, "you should be glad of the attention" or "lighten up, it's just a bit of fun". If a man tried to grope a female stripper he'd be strung up by the balls.
