Ten Disturbing Double Standards with Men and Women
There are a lot of double standards involving men and women. Most are very unfair to say the least, but they are commonly held by society.
Men and women are different. I know, I’m breaking new ground right here. Still the fact is that men and women in certain situations have different situations that are perceived rather differently. Society has allowed for a lot of sick and twisted double standards, involving men and women. Some are rather more of a light hearted tone, but there are some that do have a rather dark double standard. Here are ten double standards with men and women commonly held by society, often very wrongly.
1) When a woman sleeps with more than one man, she’s a slut. When a man sleeps with more than one woman, he’s a stud. A man is never a virgin and a woman should always be a virgin.
2) When a man gets angry, he has serious anger management problems. When a woman gets angry, it must be that wacky PMS.
3) When a woman does things that men are normally interested in, she’s cool and unique. When a man does things that women normally do, he’s gay.
4) When a woman wears clothes associated with men, she’s just a bit of a tomboy. If a man wears clothes that are normally associated with women, he’s gay.
5) When a man beats up a woman, its a horrific crime, a brutal assault, and rightfully so. When a woman beats up a man, than he’s a sissy and we all laugh at him.
6) If a woman doesn’t have a job no matter what reason, than its to be expected, as they should take care of the house and the children. If a man doesn’t have a job, no matter the reasons, then he must be a deadbeat.
7) If a female teacher sleeps with her male student, then that’s one lucky boy. If a male teacher sleeps with his female student, then he’s a perverted bastard, who deserves to have his penis sliced off and fed to piranhas.
If a father neglects or abuses his children, that’s awful, but its not that shocking. If a woman neglects or abuses her children, then she’s worse than Hitler.
9) If a man rapes a woman, its judged to be the horrific, vile thing that it truly is. If a woman rapes a man, he obviously was willing.
10) If a man shows emotions, there must be something wrong with him. If a woman doesn’t show emotions, then there must be something wrong with her.

You are right about these. I could add a few more.
There are people and organisations working to educate society. I know in Jamaica, the same non-profits that work with women who suffer violence, try to educate people that violence-sexual or otherwise, by women against men, is also wrong.

You have very wisely pointed out the disturbing double standards practised by both men and women. This is the bitter truth. Thanks for sharing.

It is truly unfair that there are double standards as you have pointed out.

Can´t agree more on your points and at the same time it´s put on a smile on my face, if not bursting out laughing. Good one! Thanks for sharing.

It seems amusing but worth thinking over. A thought provoking article.
