Men and women are biologically too different so different rules apply to them. However, for a supposed "egalitarian" society, women definitely benefit from the things we call double standards more than men do.

How it's much more socially acceptable for a woman to grab a man's ass than vice versa

They hand out blessings

Mostly double standards are wrong unless it's something complimentary.

If you are a man whore and want a pure woman it's wrong because there is nothing complimentary about that, it means you two have totaly different values and moral standards.

If a woman wants a rich man to provide for her and in return she wants to be his maid and wait for him with a hot meal every day after work it's complimentary. Logicaly also oposite a rich man that is able to provide for a family can have standard for traditional wife. It's not ok if they both work and a man still expects her to do most of the chores.

So there are things in which it's complimentary and not double standard, but you really have to provide something complimentary in return.

If you just happen to mutualy fall in love with someone that would be "double standards" it's fine, it's different. But it's really ridiculous to DEMAND something you can't provide unless it's complimentary. If a man whore realizes there is no fullfilment in that life and he happens to mutualy fall in love with a virgin and doesn't lie to her it's totaly fine, but it would be ridiculous for him to DEMAND a virgin.

The fact that men don't have to shave their body hair. I truly don't mind their body hair, and I love to remove mine, so I have no problems with this standard.

I think a lot of people mistake equality with double standards. Men and women are biologically different so there are going to be double standards no matter what.

Equality is equality as far as basic human rights.

I’ve been guilty of benevolent sexism in the past and will be guilty of it in the future. I give women the benefit of the doubt in situations where I would not have extended that grace to men. I’m just nicer to women in general and probably treat them better. I intuitively see violence against women as worse than violence against men, and care a lot less when I see that a man has been murdered in the news. It happens naturally and I don’t realize I’m doing it until after I’ve done it.

It would by hypercritical to complain about double standards when I’ve maintained them myself.

Women can get away with wearing hats and jewelry without people dogpiling on them to make fun of them.

Men can wear a plain t-shirt and jeans every single day and no one will comment that they should "dress up a little".

januaryphilosopher · 2024-05-01T14:49:25+00:00

I'm perfectly content with not getting urinals in the bathroom. I think that's based on a reasonable, tangible difference.

grown_folks_talkin · 2024-05-01T17:23:26+00:00

The who-pays first-date discussion. It's water seeking its own level.

I don't like it but it's a humbling indication that women aren't as attracted in the early stages of dating as men usually are. When they are as attracted, this isn't a thing. Assuming the economic situation of both people are in the same ballpark.

howdoiw0rkthisthing · 2024-05-01T13:10:25+00:00

Men get away with going shirtless in public with way less judgement than women do. Is it fair? Maybe not, but life’s not fair. Women’s bodies are perceived, judged, and treated very differently than men’s bodies and there’s no much room to change that.

abaxeron · 2024-05-01T18:51:17+00:00

I am typically fine with showing some leniency to women when they get brain-fog or mood-fog due to ovulation, periods, or pregnancy. I obviously speak of things like allowing to skip a PE lesson or getting a day-off shifted around the week; not having charges dropped against a woman accused of torture, murder, or genocide.

I show, expect, and respect the same level of leniency to people prone to allergies. Human condition.

Last time I checked, in many countries women have lower thresholds of acceptable work-related ionizing radiation exposure. Still a bad practice, but tolerable and reasonable, at least within the fertility window.

I'm fine with women being allowed to keep long hair while incarcerated. If they decide to deal with lice there, it's their problem, not mine. At the same time, I am not fine if men were allowed long hair in prison. It'll fall out anyway from prison regime. Bruh, it's cringe.

Sillysheila · 2024-05-02T00:33:44+00:00

I think it’s fine for guys to carry things for women or do tasks that involve heavy lifting more often

It’s not just chivalry it makes sense. Men are physically stronger than women

captaindestucto · 2024-05-02T07:57:27+00:00

Anything based around biological differences.

Women expecting men to initiate. Yea it would be nice if they acknowledged how difficult this can be for large numbers of men, but we can't exactly tell them to want a different dynamic just for those men's sake.

Women getting away with minor sexual assaults, There is just less of threat involved when drunk women get 'huggy /handsy with guys. It's common sense that the standard for what counts as threatening behaviour would be different.

TotalTravesty · 2024-05-01T14:55:09+00:00

If women have more access to gender-specific spaces like women-only gyms or professional networking groups, I’m fine with that. I can expect to get a pump in unharassed pretty much anywhere I go and I’ve almost certainly been moved forward in a job-seeking process just for having a male name on my resume so of course women should buddy up whenever possible.

krackedy · 2024-05-01T12:52:55+00:00

I don't care that women are more scared of men than men are of women. Men are more likely to be dangerous.

Remote_Panic_3271 · 2024-05-01T14:43:58+00:00

Women genuinely love double standards

Fan_Service_3703 · 2024-05-01T15:13:39+00:00

Women can casually walk around with an item which can be a highly dangerous or even lethal weapon (Stiletto shoes). Men who carry anything with similarly destructive potential will be arrested pretty quickly.

A double standard I don't mind. Stilettos are hot as hell, and the implicit (but never realised) danger is part of that attraction.

Double standard is a term that is used to describe how to things are treated differently while this difference of treatment is not related to any real differences.

So no double standard is ok. Its stupid.

VidaSabrosa · 2024-05-01T12:50:27+00:00

i’m fine with gender roles and i’ve found my relationships work better when adhered to them than when “equalized”

even if we both work, i do outside chores and inside repairs/maintenance, she keeps things pleasant inside.

SecondEldenLord · 2024-05-01T21:39:45+00:00

The only double standard I am actually fine with is women groping men, especially if the woman is decent looking.

tadL · 2024-05-01T14:19:22+00:00

Women can yell at men. Slap them, key their car, act like the biggest cunt and get in general nothing back.

But if a dude does it he gets smacked in his face. By both genders.

boom-wham-slam · 2024-05-01T14:42:08+00:00

Men and women are different in terms of romance, dating, sex, relationships. Therefore there is no such thing as double standards on these topics.

2024-05-01T14:09:12+00:00

I think double standards are fine in most cases, they're there for a reason and everyone will have some double standards that benefit them in some way, it's not the end of the world.

You have to learn to just play the game and work with what you have.
