Search Results: double standards

In a attempt to have a healthier outlook on humanity, and to silence my own personal biases about the opposite gender, I would like to get some opinions on how men and women can learn to be allies instead of enemies, I feel society tends to make us think negatively of each other, I’d like to be able to discuss the unique struggles of both genders, show compassion and empathy for each other’s hardships, think how we can make each other stronger if we stop assuming the worst about each other, and learn to value and appreciate each other’s strengths and weaknesses, I’d love to see society start leaning more towards these topics… so I guess these are my questions…
1.) how can we be less biased about the opposite gender?
2.) do you think it’s possible for the majority of men and women to be allies instead of enemies?
3.) what are steps to have a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other?
4.) how can we improve dating / casual sex?
5.) do our preferences in who we date / hookup with reinforce bad habits in society?
6.) as men and women should we oppose double standards?

If anything makes me the happiest... it's that life is a trial and not the "be all and end all".

I say "both" is the most logical choice because the good things (like hobbies and food and commodities and other forms of entertainment) will come to an end.

But so will the bad things (unfairness, double standards, troubles, etc.)

The last time I ever the word “slut” being used consistently was way back in HS in the late 90s. I realize it might have been a zeitgeist a the time. However I do remember girls having their own set of negative labels for men like “creep” readily available back then too.

However ever since college I’ve noticed more and more women liberally using the word “creep” with no justification other than just getting a bad “feeling” from a guy. The even worse insult “pedo” is becoming more common too. Just today a woman on GAG suspected that her “virtual friend” might be a potential pedo/rapist just because the guy mentioned his stepdad abused his stepbrothers. She seriously thinks that pedophilia might be genetic.

Anyway I hear fewer and fewer men throw out gender specific insults to women nowadays. Especially if they unprovoked. Men know women usually get most upset when they are unfairly labeled promiscuous. Feminists have gone one/way ape shit when men (and other women) used this insult. I think it’s working because I’ve noticed fewer and fewer female specific insults like “slut, whore and cunt” being consistently used nowadays

However I do hear women call men (and even call other women) nasty insults like “creep” or worse “pedo” with no proof other than a “feeling” they have.

It also seems that when men are unfairly labeled something they almost zero recourse. If they get angry they just look more guilty or something.

Even when one of the worst of the worst insults like “pedo” used more often against me nowadays against men and there is a double standard attitude about it. Like the man is somehow justifiably labeled that due to “a feeling” a woman has (different story if there is solid proof). Like her feeling in itself justifies and vindicates whatever “feeling” she has as absolute truth or some insanity.

Is it just me observing this societal trend?
