You know both men and women have their expectations and fair share of criticism but I wonder which double standards do you honestly hate. Everyone knows that men can get a way with not taking care of his physical appearance but most women would be seriously judge harshly if they don't take care of their physical appearance. Or another type of double standard is most women can wear traditional guy clothing and people ain't going to be bothered with the thought but if a man try wearing a traditional girl clothes he will definitely be getting a mouthful from both guys and girls. Basically my question for you ladies and gentlemen are which double standards about the two genders can't you stand? And no I just said guys and girls so please don't mention something about non binary. Basically I just want to keep this on topic everyone.
Between the two genders which double standards do you hate the most?
Body hair comments were from both men and women. I was never taught to shave, so when a female friend saw my armpits, she said in a very serious way, "Wait.. you dont shave," and gave me a look like I was dirty; and when dating I had got questions about it. ‐---------------------
My, "The Man always pays," story is when I wanted to purchase a new sofa set. I bought my fiance with me because I wanted to include him sofa selection process. While my fiance was sitting on different sofas, I was talking to a sales rep about the durability, thread count, cost, etc.
When it came time to pay, sales rep kept asking my fiance all the questions. Fiance was confused and pointed to me, "She's making the pruchase," and I confirmed this. Sales rep told me the total and asked my fiance cash or card, would he like to sign up for rewards, etc.
I was stunned. I had my card in hand and everything, but it's like he didn't even see me even though I was at the counter and my fiance was off to the side on his phone. Fiance saw my reaction and realized the sexism. It took my fiance stepping in, "This is her purchase. Stop asking me questions. You're making the sale with her." The sales rep looks at me awkwardly and begin completing the sale with me.
I was so baffled, because he spoke to normally when I was asking questions about the sofa, but when it came time to sale he was like I suddenly started talking Chinese. I hope that man got diarrhea for the bullshit he pulled.
Women being seen has dramatic during periods. We literally bleed and feel like Satan is dancing in our uterus so leave us alone. Men feeling like they deserve a standing ovation for doing their duty has father. You had the fun part, the sex and your wife has been growing a tiny human inside her and then proceeded to expulse the baby so yeah get your hands dirty. And finally men don't have emotions. So this is personal, my dad was about seven when he wrote a thank you note to his grandfather for his birthday gift, he ended the letter by writing "je t'embrasse" which means I kiss you but in a formal way. He received a letter from his grandfather saying "men don't kiss each other." just that. My grandfather told him that he warned him that it was inappropriate. An other day, well night he had a nightmare and called crying because he was scared and my grandfather told him "men don't cry and aren't afraid of the dark. Stop this nonsense." He never cried again. At his grandmother funeral eyes bright red no tears, when my mother gave birth to my sister he cried and proceeded to immediately apologize to her for this weak and inappropriate behavior. Each time we see a sad movie, when he gets emotional he suddenly needs to go to the bathroom. I know it was long ago but it sadden me a lot because he is awkward at hugging and stuff like that because he was told that he shouldn't show any emotions! And he probably didn't get much love when he was a kid...
Dating ones, like how women can have all sorts of crazy dating standards and how other women will defend them for it, but when a man has dating standards, which are often times more realistic, they get shamed for it, but if they have low standards, they get laughed at.
Women can hit men, but men can't hit back.
Divorce rape and how men tend to lose everything.
Men always have to pay or be traditional for women who don't live up to traditional values themselves and think they're entitled to perfection.
Older women dating younger men 'have options', but older men dating younger women are pedos.
When women want "equality" when it suits them (like equity pay despite the men out-earning them doing so for a reason), but then want traditionalism when it doesn't (like not paying on dates, not making the first move, and not ever dating men who are shorter or earn less money than them). While a few men may have some double standards, like unattractive guys thinking they're entitled to a "no fat chicks" rule, women definitely have far more double standards and hypocritical BS than men ever do. And anyone who tries to claim otherwise is 100% full of sh*t.
Okay, I just want to say, that that last pic you have, babysitting v parenting… That one REALLY pisses me off! When women say that “the kid’s dad is babysitting them tonight so let’s PARTY #GirlsNightOutForever!” So when dad was at work, busting his ass all day, what? were YOU JUST BABYSITTING? I’ve called women out on that exact scenario! Fathers are every bit as much of a parent as mothers are ladies! Dads are NOT babysitters! Im also NOT bothered if guys wanna wear panties because they “are more comfortable”, or “just because they like them”, or… who cares? Its just underwear! But I do NOT want to see guys in leggings outside of a gym, not really, NO! Not ever! I don’t like when women have a camel toe, its gross. In fact NO WOMAN EVER wants to be out in public and discover that her pudendal cleft has been on display since god knows when, it’s humiliating! Yet somehow there are a group of men willing to die on this hill of wearing leggings as everyday athleisure wear! For one thing, when women wear leggings, you CAN NOT see a perfectly embossed imprint of her sex organ, including veins! Yet w/ (some) guys, they think that it’s perfectly acceptable to walk around in public like they’re smuggling a mushroom under his spandex! There are a LOT of double standards that need to go.. men not wearing leggings, and women shaving their armpits… sorry, they happen to be two that this gen Z girl is happy are still around! But moms are parents, yet dads are only babysitters, screw that! Oh another one, that BS #BelieveAllWomen! Im sorry, but as a woman… some women lie! And as a rape survivor, who endured almost 3 months of near daily raping, because I was waiting for him to screw-up and leave evidence on me… Well when he did, I told my mother and we contacted the police! I happen to prefer #BelieveAllEvidence, or #BelieveAllForensics, but #believeAllWomen? Hell NO! I lied my ass off, just today about being late because of traffic. Women lie, AND men lie, because people lie!
That men should be emotionally strong and providers - while women are supposed to be caring and nurturing.
Women not being allowed to be masculine or men not being allowed to be feminine.
Women are still supposed to be pure & not be sexual, women having sex means she's a slut and used up - the more women men sleep with; the more prestige.
Dad bods vs mom bods. Dad bods are in, mom bods are seen as gross.
The notion that men can not work nurturing jobs and women can't do physically demanding jobs.
A man hits a woman - is bad, meanwhile I see women hit men in "playful" manner and they're just supposed to take it.
That guys dont get slut-shamed but get cuckshamed. Have you ever seen a female celebrities getting cuckshamed? Rappers rap about cheating while being proud of it and degenerates love this. Women get slut-shamed for cheating which is fair but also get blamed on for getting cheated on for not pleasing him enough- by thst logic women should not be shamed on too when their partner dont please them. Anyway i have the feeling it is expect from women to be a huge submissive cuck.
By the way i also hate it that men get called simp for not hating women aka being nice to women. Chivalrous men are shamed on by degenerates now
You forgot the fun double standard where if a woman takes kids to play at a park its totally normal, but when I take my niece and nephews to the park every woman automatically assumes I'm a pedo. Even had one call the cops on me once... thank god the female officer had a level head and spoke with me and didn't just cuff and stuff me.
This right here. Especially in communist-overrun states like North Dakota. Take the railroading, defamation, and endless harassment by the system against Bob Miner as an example. At one point, they even threatened him that if he didn't spend a year in jail on easily disprovable charges, they would put his wife in prison for basically forever, on equally bullshit charges!
Then, the "family reunification" supervisor has done nothing but sabotage family reunification! Worse: they started re-routing school buses, to make it impossible for him to go to work without somehow being within half a mile of a school bus, and then they tried to paint him as a chomo for that!
If we had decent statesmen and governors in this country, those bureaus would be de-legitimized, and these bureaucratic and family court scoundrels would all be facing a firing squad, for what they've done to hurt North Dakota families!
1. Women have the right to genital integrity Regardless of how you personally feel about the practice of circumcision (I personally find it barbaric, cruel and completely unjustifiable), the legal fact is that infant girls are protected against any genital cutting of any kind and infant boys are not. Many feminists will argue that female genital mutilation (FGM) is a magnitude of brutality beyond male genital mutilation and while that may be true, I do not find the “it’s only a little bit brutal” argument to be very compelling. It’s like saying cutting off a toe is okay because cutting off a foot is much worse. Ultimately, the argument is immaterial to the fact that women have the legal right to be protected from having their body parts sliced off. Men do not.

2. Women have the right to vote without agreeing to die In the US, citizens are free to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed right to democratically choose their own leaders through the process of casting a ballot in an election once they reach the age of 18. Women achieve this right by the simple act of surviving 18 years. Men may not actualize their basic rights as a citizen without first signing a Selective Service card, in which they agree that at the discretion of the democratically elected government, they will take up arms and die to defend their liberty and way of life. The draft. Men may vote if, and only if, they agree they will face death if required. Women have no such obligation, but they do get to vote for the governments that can potentially send men to meet death. Again, regardless of how you feel about the draft, women have the right to vote without agreeing to be drafted. Men don’t.
3. Women have the right to choose parenthood I’ve written about this before, but it is worth repeating. Women have three options to absolve themselves of all legal, moral, financial and social responsibility for children they did not intend and do not want. Women may abort the child before it is born, they may surrender the child for adoption without notifying or identifying the father or they may surrender the infant under Safe Haven laws and walk away from all responsibility and obligation. Women cannot be forced or coerced into parenthood, but they are legally allowed to force men into financing their reproductive choices. In many states, men can be forced into financial responsibility for children whom they did not biologically father. As long as a particular man is identified as the father, he will be held accountable. Paternity fraud is legal. In no state is legal paternal surrender permitted without the express agreement of the mother.
Again, regardless of whether you agree or disagree with legal paternal surrender, the fact remains that women have the legal right to choose parenthood. Men do not.
4. Women have the right to be assumed caregivers for children When parental relationships irretrievably break down, current custody laws assume one primary caregiver (almost always a woman) and one tertiary caregiver (almost always a man). In order to win equal or shared custody, the tertiary caregiver must litigate to prove they are worthy of equal parenting, a proposition that is not only very difficult to “prove”, it is also very expensive. The legal presumption of shared parenting upon divorce – that children have a legal right to an equal relationship with both their mother and their father following relationship breakdown – is strongly resisted by the National Organization for Women (NOW) and other feminist organizations who know that women will almost always win custody of children under the default laws. In actual fact, men who can afford to purse legal remedies and challenge primary custody stand a good chance of winning, because women do not have the market cornered on loving or caring for children. So while the law does not specifically indicate that custody will be awarded to women, the de-facto result of primary/tertiary caregiver custody law is that women have a legal right to be assumed caregivers for children. Men do not.
5. Women have the right to call unwanted, coerced sex rape The original FBI definition of rape specifically identified women as the victims, excluding the possibility of male rape victims. When the FBI updated that, it did so in way that includes a small minority of male rape victims but excluded most male rape victims by retaining the “penetration” clause. Penetration of any orifice must occur for rape to have happened. The FBI does collect another set of statistics though, under the category of “other sexual assault” – it’s the awkwardly named “made to penetrate” category, which includes men who were coerced, tricked or bullied into penetrative sex with women they would otherwise not have had sex with. The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey similarly considers the two types of assault separately, despite the fact that occurrences are virtually identical. 1.27M women report rape (p.18) and 1.26M men report “made to penetrate” (p.19). By collecting the information under separate categories, following the legal definitions, women have the right to have their rapes called “rape”. Men do not.
I guess legal side only really bothers me everything else meh i can get over it.
Me crying and being perceived weak doesn't put me in jail so it doesn't matter to me.
But punching women in face to defend myself or my kids can end up me in jail so that really bothers me. I basically can't do my job on defending myself in anyway. I just have to run away like coward or something and stay silent. Yea bothers me
i think the worst i have seen is in the workplace:
-ok for women to sexually harass, they get away with it because men seem to take the abuse. -not ok for a man to sexually harass, they get reported and fired.
The fact that a movie like Daddy Day Care needed to be made.
Societal pressure on women to live like men and women simultaneously which then reacts angrily or passive aggressively when real human women can’t live up to those expectations to have it all both ways at once.
@bamesjond0069 If you never feel the need to cry, then don't. She's not telling you how to feel. All she said was that men shouldn't be perceived as weak when and if they do feel the need to cry. You're really reaching on this one.
The one I hate the most is how men are expected to be traditional, manly gentlemen while women have no standards of conduct. And if a traditional, manly gentleman suggests that he'd prefer to marry a traditional lady, he's a bad guy.
The bar for how women conduct themselves has been set so low that it's become a trip hazard.
Hands down by the family court system which has reduced fathers to ATMs. So much so that I would not advice men to marry unless and until they are the top 10% of society.
Men in Family Law Court get raped for their children their property and their reputations. Women are always victims of domestic violence and men are always perpetrators. Double standards are ridiculous. This is a reason why I will never get married again and I advise everyone else to get never get married for the first time
That women think it's fine if they are bisexual but not if a guy is bisexual.

I really *hate* how men "can't" wear any article of clothing they want or cry in public. Likewise, I despise how women are expected to shave while men aren't. I also wish it was more socially acceptable for men to grow their hair long, since women can cut theirs short, no problem. I wish women were allowed to have a logical/proportionate number of roles in TV shows, instead of having every series/movie (except for "girl" shows) dominated by men.

Guys are disgusting perverted pigs but women are kinky and just like to please. That's my double standard, because I just cannot think of a girl being a pervert.

There are almost a million abortions done in the US every year, and the vast majority of them are by women who decide they are not ready to be parents, so they just opt out. Men have no such choice and instead are legally on the hook for 18 years of parenting and a third of a million dollars whether they like it or not.

It's more of a broad double standard. Women EXPECT men to follow traditional gender roles. But they don't have to. Because if you suggest anything to the sort you're a misogynist. And I'm very much not! I'm all for equality. But equality means being COMPLETELY EQUAL! It means she has to accept the negatives of being equal. But most don't want that.
