What is a gender double standard that you dislike ?

Paranoidexboyfriend · 2020-01-09T18:38:29+00:00

the prison and sentencing disparity. Cops will bend over backwards to avoid charging women, prosecutors will prosecute as lightly as possible, and the judge will do everything in his power to keep them out of jail.

Men are protectors, women need protection. This one is very pervasive, in everything from women only domestic violence shelters to the disparate funding between male and female cancers.

Women should be free of any gender expectations such as cooking, cleaning, etc but men should still pay for dates and financially provide for women. I feel like most women feel this way nowadays.

exparadox1989 · 2020-01-09T18:37:55+00:00

Women wanting to be treated and seen equally and fairly. But then literally cry in the workplace when you ask them a direct question or hold them accountable to projects.

Same thing in coed sports. Apparently you're supposed to just let the women on the other team score on you instead of playing defense.

Are y'all children or equal???

HarassMyAnger · 2020-01-09T18:14:59+00:00

Women are Wonderful, Men are Terrible.

Also Women are the Prize, Men are the Donkeys.

male only spaces == sexist; female only spaces == safe space for women
a man watching a child is a predator until proven otherwise
finding a partner: men are told to improve themselves and women are told that they’re good enough as is

XtoDoubt · 2020-01-09T18:36:05+00:00

The only thing that bothers me is that women want all of the rights of men but none of the responsibilities.

corey_trevorson · 2020-01-09T18:55:10+00:00

That guys are stereotyped as the cheating gender, when I feel like women cheat just as often now

binkerfluid · 2020-01-09T19:42:42+00:00

Women are allowed to be as emotionally and physically weak as they want and everyone will rush to their aid.

If you're a weak man, man up, it's your fault for being weak. You're disposable and we don't care if you live or die.

Dora_Bowl · 2020-01-09T18:19:31+00:00

I have a long list, but I will name the ones that irritate me the most:

If a man is acts confident and assertive, this is seen as fine for the most part, if a woman does it she comes off as “cnty” or “btchy”. This happens in politics, it happens on here and it happens to me as well quite regularly.
Men taking pictures beside objects is perfectly fine and you can find it on various social media platforms daily, if a woman does it she is attention whoring. However If a man takes a lot of pictures he is more likely to be labelled negatively.
Women sexually harassing men is not seen as that big of a deal, even women objectifying men is not seen as bad. I can understand the reasoning behind it(as men do pose more of a threat), but I do not see that as a good justification for it. The same thing with when women abuse men as well etc. etc.
Men being expected to be the breadwinner. This really does not make any sense anymore.
Male bisexuality or homosexuality is seen a lot more negatively.
A lot of women’s clothing does not have pockets.
Women having a lot of sexual partners is seen as negative, while for men it is typically seen as positive.

I can elucidate on these if anyone would like and why I find them annoying. In all of these cases I do not think inductive reasons for them are valid and when you really do break these down they make no sense.

That women get to choose whether to have a child or not but a man can't choose to not be financially responsible for one.

When we talk about abortion for women we talk about how they 100% have a right to choose and men it's always the same argument "he should have kept it in his pants"

Conscription

TheBookOfSeil · 2020-01-10T00:29:59+00:00

That women can dress in barely-there clothing and nobody bats an eye, but if I do it, it's "weird" and "creepy" and I'll get the cops called on me in a heartbeat. If women can have their tits halfway hanging out in public, why can't my balls be halfway hanging out in public? REEEEEEEE

_nephila · 2020-01-09T20:52:23+00:00

That women have no concept of honor and integrity. This is probably the one thing I read here often that grates the shit out of me.

M4sterDis4ster · 2020-01-09T18:19:01+00:00

“Body count” (or the number of people someone has slept with) being a big deal when it comes to women, but not men. The woman is slut-shamed or perceived as having daddy issues if she’s slept with “a lot” of people. Men who have slept with “a lot” of people are deemed as successful and the praised. Regardless of gender or sexuality, the number of people a person has slept with shouldn’t matter at all.

GreenSatyr · 2020-01-09T20:30:08+00:00

All of them

Who pays for dates vs equality

I don't like that women are the ones generally given social permission to be flashy and demonstrate vanity. I love looking fly, accessorizing and shit.

LeJacquelope · 2020-01-10T06:01:54+00:00

I dislike male disposability, which underlies every double standard ever, even the ones that disfavor women.

It's not a double standard if you compare two different things.

GenitalReality · 2020-01-10T09:49:35+00:00

Single men around children are instantly pedos. Cannot be youthful and playful around kids without getting death glares.

binkerfluid · 2020-01-10T10:10:31+00:00

family court, custody, child support inequality

Redpiller77 · 2020-01-10T11:15:19+00:00

Thinking that being born male has more privileges than being born female when you can make a better case for the contrary.

Jimmy_Cosmo · 2020-01-10T15:10:05+00:00

When two drunk people have sex and the guy is accused of rape

DontTouchTheCancer · 2020-01-10T16:04:25+00:00

All of them.

2020-01-12T09:04:01+00:00

Do we just have to mention one?

That a man with conventionally masculine traits is admired, but a woman with positive masculine traits is seen as an ugly bitch.
