Off the top of your head: what is a double standard that helps men or hurts men?

Man hits a woman: what a piece of shit, get him! Woman hits a man: he probably said or did something bad

Oh, the good old just man up trope. Because apparently, our feelings come with an invisibility cloak. Should I cry now or later? Hang in there, mate. Your feelings are just as valid!

...we aren't judged for it the way women are...

And who is judging these women? Mainly other women.

Men are taught to think that getting kicked in the nuts is an inevitable fact of life. some of it comes from movies and TV shows making it out to be this funny thing. Ive had male and female friends kick me in the nuts as hard as they could over something as stupid as a PlayStation controller. I think this is less now than 20 yrs ago but Women are not taught to expect any such violence.

I think only women judge other women by appearance the most. The exception might be weight, but that's also changing.

Men aren’t required to put a lot of effort into our appearance and we aren’t judged for it the way women are.

Sorry, but this is just not true. We are absolutely judged for our appearance. Jeremy Meeks is a complete scum bag, always has been, probably always will be. But that doesn't matter to women because he is a GigaChad. He wouldn't do nearly as well with women if he wasn't a GigaChad. I am inclined to agree with the "not required to put a lot of effort into our appearance" part, but that's only because men's appearances are judged on things we can't improve with effort, such as height and facial bone structure.

Anyway, a double standard that hurts us: MGM is legal in every Western country and FGM is banned in every Western country.

If a man earns a position in his career a lot less people will assume that he didn't work for it than if he was a woman.
If birth controll fails, the man has no say if he will become a father or not. If he decides to step away he gets socially shunned and legally obligated to found the upbrining of an unwanted child. Just reproductive rights in general.
