Double Standards

Mediumtim · 2013-07-13T09:18:14+00:00

I need feminism to keep chivalry dead.

Don't forget that when a man tells a woman to cover up, he's slut shaming, but when a woman does it, she's fighting the objectification of women.

The answer is that you're not allowed to care about her looks, at all. In fact, future marriages will all be arranged online, with text profiles randomly assigned to pictures of either Mila Kunis or Andrea Dworkin. Your task will be to discern the beautiful mind behind the feminist rhetoric.

I'll just throw in that this isn't a double standard, but instead a Catch-22!

Cheers! :)

The comment thread in r/funny is abysmal. People really don't see a difference between the two. I find this depressing.

CosmicKeys · 2013-07-13T08:57:22+00:00

I guarantee there are male feminists out there who believe this...

Anyway - try /r/mensrants or /r/mrmemes

Trick question.

There are no attractive feminists.

If you post that on /r/feminism you will get banned. I tried something similar once. Just the truth in a little sign. The mods did not like the truth.

I think the phrase you were looking for was "double bind"

UDT22 · 2013-07-13T17:14:45+00:00

You can't win. Go to Asia and find a traditional girl.

Whisper · 2013-07-14T02:03:26+00:00

... and when she evaluates you according to your wealth and success, she's not objectifying you at all. She's just attracted to ambitious, competent men.

sol1869 · 2013-07-13T19:57:02+00:00

It's not feminism its defeminism.

Well, in both cases the attraction - or the lack of it - is based on her appearance (and nubility), and nothing else. That's what they have the beef with.

But the real double standard lies in the fact that men are being coerced to suppress their natural mate selection instincts, while women's mate selection instincts are celebrated and pedestalized and given a "get out of jail free" card.

RedGreenRG · 2013-07-13T21:37:06+00:00

Why is this on men's rights? All this is doing is shit flinging.

failblorg · 2013-07-13T15:22:23+00:00

i need feminism because society as it exists would probably break down if it stopped pretending that women weren't inferior in every way

scuby4Life · 2013-07-13T18:23:51+00:00
