What do you think about double standards? Do you adjust to them or not care?

[Anonymous]

Do you try to adjust yourself to them or you just do not care?

[hi_it_is_me123]

I notice some guys on gag who are ok about douple standards when it affects women but also whine about it when it suddenly affects them too. For example men are expected to be tall, stronger, wealthier, non virgin, the bread winner and woman who prefere stereotypyical men get called shallow or gold diggers lol but men who prefere young virgin skinny, traditional women are accepted in my experience. If you dont like getting virgin shamed, or getting shamed for not being tall, wealthy, traditional, virgin, then dont slutshame women or do not shame women for being not very young, not being curvy enough, not thick enough etc. It is ok to have dating preferences but dont shame anyone if they dont fit in your preferences. I prefere virgin men or men with low bodycount but i dont slutshame any man for example.

[AkshiJanjua]

huh... like women aren't like that. There are bad apples on both sides

[hi_it_is_me123]

I agree. I did not mean to generalize. I am sorry

[AkshiJanjua]

no need to be sorry lol you don't need to apologize for such a small thing. And what you said actually right so...

[Ninaface]

@AkshiJanjua she didn't say women aren't like that, just that she noticed some men on gag who are. Obs there's two sides to every coin.

[JustAnj]

I think adjusting to them is basically not caring since there is not action in either thought just essentially ignoring the possibility of changing a circumstance.

For myself if it is something that truly bothers me or affects me or someone else who is affected by it I make light to try to make the situation fair or satisfying for both genders. I don't see the point of being quiet but I also don't see the point of being upset either.

[JustAnj]

I would also apply this to people in a general sense not just genders.

[SupremeWarlord]

Double standards I believe is when the expectations towards one gender makes no sense, and it's very unfair.

Sometimes it can be annoying, like girls being expected to be prude cat ladies, that makes me mad because it makes women less likely to admit that they can enjoy sex as much as men.

And also that men are expected to be tough and shut up about their problems, that annoys me a bit. But I can't just ignore double standards completely, I have to conform to them to a degree, because if I don't people will think of me as a weirdo to avoid, or not a "real man", that's not cool, I'm not an isolated human, I can't completely ignore how the others perceive me.

[Zealashton]

i say, be your self, and true to your self, lying about it only hurts ones self.

my mom gets mad at me cus she is a woke, so saying, dont get your pantys all bunched up.
she flips out

my sister said our dad, has the man flu,
basically out cold for the whole day.
1 i just laghed, beacuses, its funny.
but i also laughed at how stupied they are, for thinking if your sick you can still do stuff.
shit man, go to bed and rest,

[MCheetah]

No. I despise double standards. I find that women, especially left-leaning/Liberal women, seem to employ the most Double Standards, picking and choosing when to be a "strong independent woman" and when to be a "damsel in distress and a helpless female." I spit on double standards, which is why some people don't like me.

[dc_rogers]

Double standards go against so much. If you expect one person to be held to a certain standard, then everyone should be held to that standard as well. Or no one held to the standard. It is about equality in the very least. Double standards upset that balance.

[Leonharted]

I live every day being the best worker, friend, husband, and father that I can possibly be. Whether someone thinks I'm living up to some sort of standard is irrelevant to me. They THINK I'm doing wrong, while I KNOW I'm doing the very best I can. If I'm wrong, you need to walk me through how I'm wrong.

[ohshee]

I think you need another option in there
I don't like those standards and I want to stay I don't care but that's not what I mean I think I care enough to where I just mold into that situation I treat everybody as and equal I don't even think about double standards are things like that because they don't happen let's just say I guess because I respect whomever we all know right from wrong

[FakeName123]

Men and women have different strengths and weaknesses. As a resul there are different expectations placed upon them. I don't see any issue with it.

The people who do see an issue with that are usually those that fail at the expectations placed on them or fail at just not caring about them.

[Anonymous]

Any good examples? Because I've found that more often than not, when people talk about "double standards" they're often talking about two pretty different things so there isn't really a double standard at all--there's just different standards for the two different things.

[fonduegirl]

I personally believe that if you can't meet your own standards, they're double standards.

For example, you can't sleep around and demand a virgin wife.

And you can't be jobless and demand a multi-millionaire husband.

[ryuueasifa]

Men having to pay for 1st dates. it should be the person who ask the other person out
Also men paying for women when they are going to have sex. i think the person wants to have sex pay for the whole thing.
This is any honest but harsh opinion so don't me attack

[Diodoro]

I accept double standards more or less because I can't control them. Whether or not I'm held to that standard is another story

[genericname85]

i think often times double standard is the wrong word. specially when it's about gender stuff. cause men and women are different so it's ok to have different standards for different things.

[Asker]

There are slight differences not so big. Everyone can have the same rights while doing something. So, for me the standards are weird.

[genericname85]

well what i was particularly thinking about was this thing, that men are celebrated for fucking many girls and girls are frowned upon for doing the same thing.

i think that's not a double standard, cause the thing that's harder for every gender is looked up to. for men it's harder to get laid. so getting laid makes them respected. for women it's super easy to get laid, so that's frowned upon.

[Asker]

There are many successes apart from having sex. Men who can have sex with many people is either handsome or rich from their family and these ones are not so hard. People always think and want everything for their advantages. So, i do not agree with you. Of course i know this is the standards right now. But i do not find any logic in them. People who find can say whenever they want.

[genericname85]

"There are many successes apart from having sex" well that's why there's not really a double standard in those many other things, cause in those other things, gender does actually not matter. cause it's as easy for a woman to get let's say an engineering career as it is for a man. it's just that women don't typically want that.

the difference with the sex thing is: even the ugliest women has men standing in line to fuck her. and even the prettiest, most successfull man cans truggle to get laid. i'm not talking about stupid stereotypes either. this is an objective fact. women have it easier to get sex. so for them it's less respected if they do.

[Asker]

In this age ‘’ the prettiest, most successfull man cans truggle to get laid.’’ i do not think this guy will struggle to get laid. Of course when it comes to sex women are more selective. And if the man is lucky for being handsome or rich it means that He is not succesful He is just ‘’lucky’’ and being lucky is not respectable i think. And the other example is for the men society does not want them to Show their feelings but women can show and i think it is double standard too. Men have feelings too. Why society “ wants to suppress it? People try to suppress women sexually and men emotionally and i think it is not healthy. We can not change things but we can question them.

[genericname85]

well it's stupid to take an extreme point of anything to make a point about the general truth of that thing. outliers exist. that doesn't mean what i said isn't generally true.

people are not trying to supress women sexually. that's bullshit. every women can and does make her own fucking onlyfans these days and nobody is allowed to have a negative opinion about those whores anymore, cause that's the new definition of "empowerment".

[Asker]

But you do not say anything about what i say about means’ emotions. You just talk about women…. Yeah saying ‘’whore’’ does not make you the one who criticize but you respect ‘’manwhores’’ i understood.

[Asker]

Mens*

[Asker]

Some men love to take everything for their advantages so i understood your point. For me if something is ‘’wrong’’ it is wrong for both sides.

[genericname85]

i do not respect manwhores. the thing is: men can't sell themself out like this, cause there's no customer for men (except other men), proving my point.

check your privilege. as a woman you have exclusive access to all the sex you want and all the sexual attention you want. as a man, you gotta be as you said one of the most pretty and successfull ones to get the attention that an ugly woman gets.

that doesn't mean i will support a man whoring out his body. it's just that there's not really a general social strend about that. if there was, i would not make this remark about women particularly, cause then there would be no difference.

[genericname85]

and before you make again a remark like "there are men who sell shit on onlyfans", yes i know. but again. you're looking at a small majority to make statements about general society, which is not how ít works. you gotta look at things in relation and if you do, there's WAY more girls on onlyfans and they make WAY more money by whoring out their bodies than men. i'm not saying that i support either one for doing so. though i can't help to acknowledge that men who can actually sell their body like that have to be WAY above average to do so, while every fat ugly girl can make money on onlyfans.

[genericname85]

small minority*

[Asker]

Okay i misunderstood that you have respect for them. Because women are more selective what you say is true. He must be more handsome or succesful i agree with that. But i just do not agree one thing which is ‘’respect’’ for example some men can see women who had sex with many people gross. So i can say that i find the man who is manwhore is gross too. Because there are some men and if they haven’t had the sports car that their dad gave to them they could not get laid easily too. Or Because he is lucky to be handsome. So that is why i say that these men are ‘’lucky’’. And i can say for them that they easily get laid more than other men not Because of they are ‘’succesful’’ Because they are lucky.

[FinalFantasyBro]

I don't like double standards but it is rarely common actually it is part of our society. To be brutally honest you just need to shut up and deal with it just like the rest of us.

[RedStiletto88]

It’s just part of life for better and for worse. I really don’t think about them unless someone brings the topic up

[kyleelyn199723]

I was raised to adjust to them. That’s one thing my dad really did instill into me and my siblings head, is life isn’t fair

[Armourdillo]

Are you agaisnt efforts to make things as fair as they can be?

[MJtheCoach]

Everything is double standard as a man go to Family Court you’ll find out go places like Canada Australia New Zealand UK France Germany and see how much girls can get away with it if the guy does 20% of that he’ll be prosecuted

[bamesjond0069]

Its a feature of dating not a flaw. Im thankful for double standards because it lets a big hairy aggressive man like me have a sweet little beautiful girl like my girlfriend. Otherwise id only be able to date an ogre of a woman. Lmao.

[SweetDumplings]

I don't adjust to nothing and I don't care I don't pay no mind to something that stupid

[Luopio27]

I hate them and can't believe anyone who likes them. Sure I have joked about how prostetution should be illegal but manwhores allowed, but in reality, it ain't as funny.

[SlightlyEccentric]

I absolutely hate them. I've seen too many people get away with things because of it.

[snackthatsmilesback]

I try not to die on every hill. But most of them are tempting.

[Manuel2]

I just ignore them. I notice that the People made christians. Those who claim they are christian but behave like demons

[andy530]

I try to avoid them or not hold others to them. Because they make no sense and at times are harmful for people

[Joshua0213]

I dont give a fuck what other people think of me. Hate me all you want just stay out of my lane🤷‍♂️

[misterhonest]

I don't think about them it's all fair game for everyone

[Djaay]

You can't believe in double standards if you know the truth about life and its Diversity's.

[OddBeMe]

I’ll try to adjust when I can. And vote for sensible regulation that does the same.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No double standards. If it's wrong for men then it's wrong for women and vice versa.

[Hulk30]

i adjust to it because there's certain things in the datin game ya can't control

[Anonymous]

I don't tolerate them.

Especially when it comes to violence - ANYONE who hits me better be prepared to get hit back.

[Anonymous]

I don't care because some double standards help me and some hurt me. Lol

[globetrotter22]

Need more context here

[Asker]

It can be about anything that comes to your mind first

[globetrotter22]

That’s a huge rabbit hole. I guess you can say I see huge double standards for how men and women are treated.

[CallmeTheKnight]

Society has to do away with them.

[JohnK123]

Life isn’t fair grow up

[Asker]

Ok teenager

[JohnK123]

I did an essay about Kant for an AP class do u know Kant?

[Asker]

Of course i know. But what is the relation with this topic? 😂

[JohnK123]

That I’m not one of those teenagers u prob thought i was

[Subarugirl]

Lol I’m pretty sure you are.

[JohnK123]

@Subarugirl congrats u an assumist

[Subarugirl]

Hahaha! sorry, but I can’t take anyone seriously who doesn’t care enough to actually spell out their words.

[umidkwhat2put]

@Subarugirl thats what he wants u to think🙄

[JohnK123]

@Subarugirl oh laughing my ass off maybe you should spell out lol then huh

[Babygirl_S]

I hate double standards.

[emperor90]

I just adjust to them

[grega239]

Adjust. Still pisses me off especially at work

[TsAubreyKate]

They exist for a reason

[Subarugirl]

Not any good reasons

[TsAubreyKate]

@Subarugirl so men and women are the same?

[Subarugirl]

No one flames that men and women are exactly the same… but they shouldn’t be held to different standards and and should have the same human rights

[TsAubreyKate]

@Subarugirl why shouldn’t two things that are different be held to different standards? What’s the problem with double standards? What rights do men have that women don’t or vice versa?

[Subarugirl]

Name one law that dictates medically what a man cannot do with his own body?

[TsAubreyKate]

@Subarugirl ever hear of selective service

[Subarugirl]

The Selective Service Training and Service Act expired in 1947.
Nixon signed legislation officially ending the draft. The Selective Service registration requirement was later suspended in April 1975.

[TsAubreyKate]

@Subarugirl then why are we still required to register?

[Subarugirl]

Probably the same reason people have to fill out their census paperwork.

[TsAubreyKate]

@Subarugirl so you honestly believe that in a time of war when the country they won’t deploy any of the men on that list they’re just registered for no reason really? I know you got more sense than that

[TsAubreyKate]

@Subarugirl my point is that double standards are necessary because men and women aren’t the same

[Subarugirl]

Well they should be treated the same in the eyes of the law.

[TsAubreyKate]

@Subarugirl we are though

[Subarugirl]

So you have laws about what you can do to your own reproductive system?

[TsAubreyKate]

@Subarugirl we’ve addressed this

[TrueConfection]

Both

[jahaims]

Don't care

[innerman]

Try to adjust

[PeterSmith1983]

Be yourself

[Anonymous]

I fight them.

[whistlingwh0res]
