Double Standards, anyone?

[Irridium]

All the time. When a women has sex with a bunch of men, she's labeled a slut. But if a man does it, he's labeled as gay.

It's bullshit I tell you.

problem in your logic,all a girl has to do to get laid is open her legs(in most cases) while a man has to suck up to a respectable woman a while to get some(or find the slut with her legs open if he isn't a real man)

i am a woman by the way and i still see this double standard.

as for the topic of this thread,yes it happens alot and the way to stop it is to not let it get pinned on you,the logic idea is your best bet in any case.

Oh nonono, you misunderstand me.

Woman has sex with lots of men = slut

Man has sex with bunch of men = gay

THAT is the bullshit I alluded to earlier.
...

I was trying to be funny

When a 50 year old man talks to a little boy everyone thinks he is a paedophile but if a 50 year old woman talks to a little boy they think she is either her mom or her grandma and are all cool with it.

When a 50 year old man drives around in a big van past a primary school, everyone thinks he is a paedophile. But if they saw a 50 year old woman driving that same van, they think she would be delivering cakes for a bake sale at the school.

When a 50 year old man etc.

Actually, as long as she doesn't have a desease, shes not a slut, shes a hooker then.

I don't know, woman getting the child in divorce cases EVEN if their a bad parent.

Here are some of the complaints men have:

- If I break something, a woman will blame me but I can't blame a woman for breaking something.
- I can't make jokes about hitting a woman but women can joke about hitting me.
- I'm not allowed to stare at women's bodies but women are allowed to stare at me.
- I can't use derogatory language directed towards women but women can.

Here are some complaints women have:

- One out of every five women will be raped, but only one out of 165 men will be.
- I work the same job as a man, but get paid on average twenty-five cents less an hour.
- I have a 300% higher chance of being murdered by my spouse than a man does.
- I am more likely to die of gender-neutral diseases, and a lower percentage of medical funding goes towards my sex-specific diseases despite their prevalence being higher.
- The vast majority of religious organizations will not allow me any semblance of authority or power despite me showing equal skill with a man.


In short, stop fucking whining, you over-privileged brats. Boo fucking hoo. No one cares if you can't stare at tits or that you have to be extra nice to those pesky ladies, lest they period themselves everywhere over you. Until you're afraid of walking home in the dark, I don't care.

So, you skip legal cases to where woman get something extra over a man, but then continue to dwadle on small stuff.
Sweetie, I'll just point this out, above is the only thing to add to the Male side, ALONG WITH, BUT ARE NOT CONTAINED TO OTHER LEGAL CASINGS, SUCH AS DOMESTIC DISPUTES, LAWSUITS, AND MANY MORE IN THE WORLD BOOK!
Simple fact, a killer can be a man or woman, and theres a show, go to Tru Tv and check it out, its called Snapped, its ALL about woman murdering their husband, come back with a straight face and tell me thats not something wrong. I'm scared to walk in the dark because PEOPLE HAVE GUNS, I, IF I HAVE MONEY, THEY WILL POINT IT AT ME, REGARDLESS OF GENDER! And on your last one about religions, THEIR BLOODY RELIGIONS, THEIR FUCKING RULES ARE FROM A BEGONE TIME OF SEXISM!

I am suddenly reminded of case to where a woman took a shotgun and blew out the brains of her husband, then got let go because she said the man abused her, I never read to far into it, but from what I understood or took from it, there weren't any signs of him being abusing, of course, sometimes I am wrong. But all the evidence pointed to her taking the shotgun, putting it to his temple then firing. But since he was abusive its OK to kill someone.
Simple fact, were not whining when there ARE double standards in place for woman to be over men, probably more so infact, but their not looked at because a large amount of phyco feminists [sub]*not the ones that are upstanding, actually fighting for equality, but the ones that use their beliefs in feminism to be overall asses.*[/sub] Would be-head anyone saying so.

Yes, equality does demand respect for men too. Yes, there are double standards that negatively impact men too.

But Jesus Christ are you missing the point if you think that the double standards men face are comparable in scope to those faced by women.

We have a few bigger fucking problems than the fact that men are more liable to be called out by women for mistakes (to the extent that this is even true - women just get fucked over in different ways for mistakes).

Quick hand raise, how many woman fought in the original rising of woman power... Lets see, not a lot, now lets look at feminists in general.... A lot, alright, how many guys were alive back then.... Not a lot, how many are sorry for what their ancestors did, EVEN THOUGH they weren't alive back then.... A lot. There you go, we now have a formal understanding of a bridge we must build and then cross to get over it.
Again, I'm a guy, I am so sorry that I would spend time to build a resort specifically for woman for free. But I wasn't alive back then, A LOT of people weren't alive back then, I couldn't have stopped my fellow men from being dimwits, and sure as hell woman today can't go back and add numbers to the woman fighting force, persay. You can't hold a gender to its mistakes when a large percent weren't even babies being formed in their mothers stomachs to fix it.

My point is simple: What woman faced back then was TERRIBLE, but is it that bad now, honestly, can woman today NOT have a career, not become CEOs or do what they wish on their wildest wims? No, they can do ALL that and more, holding something or someone back after the fact and not noticing the changes now in days urks me. Specifically when you sai "What those women FACED." Past tense, FUCKING PAST TENSE! RIGHT THERE IS MY POINT, THEY FACED IT, OVER CAME IT VICTOURISLY, CAN WE PLEASE BUILD A FUCKING BRIDGE, AND GET OVER THIS HOLDING BACK GUYS FOR SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T EVEN SEE BEFORE THEY WERE BORN, THANK YOU!

[sub]*sorry if I offended, but I get a special type of URKED from these threads.*[/sub]

LOLZ! now I am getting weird looks from my mum for giggling while she is watching tv.

i'd give you an example but my self esteem is nowhere near high enough to interact with a female

Ladies are not scary. unless they look like this:

Spoiler: especially the short one

am I scary?

No if she gets paid she is a hooker, if she doesn't she is a slut

I am not orange or psychotic.
and I think I can not use the psychic powers to explode. only to do cool stuff like make the dog float.

Ah, then you are not scary. Intimidating is a different possibility, but not scary

I would like you to read his post again, 'cause a better "joke version" would be if a you have a key that opens alot of keys its a pretty damn gay key but if you have a lock thats opened by alot of keys then its a crappy lock now isnt it

 

[Captain_Fantastic]

and as my second of two bits i dont often look at double standards nor do they bother me because hey, i can piss standing up

and really the only double standard i noticed for a while was one time i had a few female friends over at my place, and i dont know why i have more female friends than guy friends but thats not the point.what happened was one of them decided to smell my underarm to see if she liked the smell, ok no big deal, then i realized if i were to do that i would have a good chance of being backhanded

 

[RatRace123]

Ooh, thought of another one. The legal system is incredibly unfair to men, and any matter of violence between the genders is tilted favorably towards women.

I don't usually care about most double standards but this one pisses me off.

A man gets abused by a woman? He's a pussy. And a man can't be raped by a woman, if it's sex, obviously the man likes it. In a matter of separation the woman is more likely to get custody of the children.
Basically, men are horrible, hulking evil monsters; women are defenseless, innocent flowers.

I prefer to believe that both sexes have equal amounts of evil, crazy and dangerous elements. And that the courts should see it that way too.

Not having a go here, but what's the point in making this thread? There's been a fair few, but those people have a reason to discuss it and usually have a story. Something like, "I was at a get together at the weekend and this woman/man and yadda yadda..."
It just seems a bit... ***** about something for the sake of it, it seems so out of the blue.
There's always those people who pop up in these threads and start spouting thinly veiled sexist comments about men or women too.
Like someone said, double standards aren't gender exclusive. Doesn't just happen with women either, I've encountered some problems like that with ethnic minorities and such.

When in doubt, listen to what Chapper said.

Pretty much this, threads like these just make the women on the escapist feel alienated. :<
There are women who come here too, although they are in the minority. This just seems like something that doesn't need to be brought up. Surely how people behaive is down to the individual. I know women who are horrible and men who are horrible but I also know some great people too. If someone pulls a double standard and is an ass to you then they are a rubbish person. It's not really anthing to do with their gender.

Ooh, thought of another one. The legal system is incredibly unfair to men, and any matter of violence between the genders is tilted favorably towards women.

You might have a point if the legal system didn't prosecute women for abuse against men but...oh wait they do. For example I nearly got done for GBH when I defended myself against an attempted rapist and ran away leaving him bleeding in the street.

Men just don't report it as much becuase the onus placed on them, by their own sex mind you, to be stronger than women.

It has nothing to do with what women think.

 

[JemothSkarii]

I'd probably live with the double standards; I'm far too chivalrous to say anything back at them (also possibly a chicken). Double Standards just cropped up from that 'weak woman who needs protecting' image and they stuck. Granted, I think I have that thinking subconsciously (My girlfriend for example, I know is a strong and independent girl, yet I have this strong and burning desire to be the guy who will always protect and keep her from harm).

My apologies, I was just going by the general stereotype. And I'm well aware the stigma against reporting abuse is entirely placed on men by men. Hell, the whole double standard thing still largely exists because of male preconceptions about women.

For years in the UK women had cheaper car insurance.

Last year they had to pay the same as us men and they complained, and I quote, "why should we have to pay more just because we're women"....

I'm sorry ladies, you are paying the same as we've always paid now stick your special treatment up your arse.

In almost every developed country, statistics indicate that men are by far the more reckless drivers and much more likely to get into accidents - particularly under the age of 25. Hence their insurance rates are higher. That's no double standard or unfair treatment, that's insurance companies doing the logical thing because statistically speaking a certain subset of the population is a bunch of fucktards behind the wheel.

Of course this doesn't apply to every young male - myself included, as I'm 23, don't speed, and have yet to be in an accident - but numbers don't lie.

maybe not but honestly i get more nervous when i get a ride from girls, not because their girls it just i notice i find myself wishing i had a brake peddle in the passenger seat sometimes, like harder stops at red lights that could have been slower or more controlled, i'm gonna have a few gray hairs before i hit 25. not to say it can't happen with guys, i have one friend who is down right scary sometimes, (the fact that his car is almost falling apart doesn't help) also I've only ever come close to an accident 3 times when driving, all three were from being cut off by a girl on a cell phone. not kidding. i honestly don't know how they have less accidents. maybe more close calls? idk

Women can wear pants and no one will think anything of it.
But if I wear a dress and make up, all of a sudden I'm some perverted sicko.

It's fucking ridiculous, I tell you whut.

 

[Chemical Alia]

You think with all the threads involving women being dicks or feminism is stupid, there would be a separate thread to contain them all. Why do all of you sound so misogynistic?

I'm probably the least mysogynistic person i know, but have been labelled as such by women for pointing out double standards before.

Which i find amusing to no end.

if i was any more open minded my brain would fall out.

I'd call that any relationship with the opposite sex ever.

If above post is a typical example of your open-mindedness, I wonder if "pointing out double standards" is really the reason women call you out.
