double standard


when a situation is desireable for one group but deplorable for another. typically used in reasons to support feminists femin-z-, but completely ignoring the terrible double standard favoring them.
1) a) a father s-xually/physically -ssults his daughter at a young age. she grows up to fear men and strives to stay away from them. acceptable

b) a mother s-xually/physically -ssults her son at young age. he grows up to fear men and strives to stay away from them. labled as profiling women as evil and unacceptable.

2) a) a group of girls sees a male walking through a mall. they think he is attractive, and make comments about his b-tt, abbs, or crotch and giggle loudly. acceptable

b) a group of boys see a female walking through a mall. they think she is attractive, and make comments about her b-tt, abs, or br–sts while laughing. labled as pigs who are acting inappropriate, treating the girl like an ovject

3) a) a married woman does not have a job because she feels that it is the mans place to support his family and survives on his paycheck. acceptable

b) a married man does not have a job because he feels that it is the womans place to support her family and survives on her paycheck. labled as an abusive husband who takes advantage of his wife

4) a) a war in america is started, and the military decides to instate a draft. a woman who does not want to fight states her ideas, even though she does not have to worry about it. acceptable and supported

b) a war in america is started, and the military decides to instate a draft. a man who does not want to fight states his ideas. viewed as a diserter and a traitor who wants nothing more than to avoid his responsablities.

5) a) a very feminist mother takes her young daughter and her friends out for a party. durring the celebrations, a man happens to sit at a table next to them in a restraunt. the mother tells the girls to hurry up eating and leaves in haste because she thinks the man would be a bad influence. acceptable, labled a bit overprotective

b)a father takes his young son and his friends out for a party. durring the celebrations, a woman happens to sit next to them in a restraunt. the father tells the children to hurry eating and leaves in haste because he thinks the woman will be a bad influence. viewed as being evil and teaching young children incorrect views.

…i could go on forever. point is: down with double standards! people aren’t that different, and double standards only enforce all kinds of discrimination! grrrr…
a set of principles permitting greater opportunity or liberty to one than to another, especially the granting of greater s-xual freedom to men than to women.
if a male has lots of s-x, he’s looked well upon.
if a female has lots of s-x, she is considered a sl-t.
a concept that permits and excuses certain behaviors and actions from one group but violently opposes the same actions from another.

for example.

a b-tchy self serving controlling female who steps all over men and uses them for her own selfish benefits is considered a strong woman.

but

a self serving controlling man who steps all over women and uses them for his own selfish benefits is considered a male chauvinist pig.

a black comedian whose entire act is poking fun at the way white people talk, walk, dress, dance, & act is a comic genius who gets rewarded millions a year and is catapulted into fame and stardom.

but

a white comedian who pokes fun at the way black people walk, talk, dress, and act is a racist pig who will get booed off the stage and his career is forever tarnished.

woman: “i chose not to get married or have kids to pursue a career.”

feminist: “you go girl. so glad to see a fellow sister stand on her own two feet and maintain her independence and individuality and not submit herself to the oppressive patriarchy”

woman: “why thank you. i also heard that eddie also decided not to get married or have kids to pursue his career”.

feminist: “what’s wrong with him? afraid of commitment? too irresponsible to be a father? so shallow that he puts money and a career above having a family?”

woman: (thinking to herself) “hmm isn’t that a double standard?”
when someone is allowed to get away with something others arent. when a particular standard is applied to a certain group but not another. this doesn’t necessarily apply to gender but everything.
politicians complaining about pet projects and pork spending as a problem but still pushing their own through because theirs is obviously more okay is a great example of double standards.

the smaller pay black soldiers receive was also a double standard
anything which is okay for a particular group of humans to engage in but completely unacceptable if another particular group indulges in it.
a group of girls at a party scan the place for hot guys. they comment about their physical attributes, scorecard them and rate them on a scale of 1 to 10. labeled as acceptable and cute.
a group of guys at the same party scan the place for hot girls. they comment about their physical attributes, scorecard them and rate them on a scale of 1 to 10. labeled as male chauvinist pigs who objectify women. this is a double standard.

a girl refers to a guy’s junk as his ‘package’ or ‘d-ck’. acceptable.
a man refers to a woman’s privates as ‘b–bs’, ‘t-ts’, ‘p-ssy’ etc. unacceptable. this is another double standard.

a woman who doesn’t want to get married and lives alone. labeled as strong, independent, levelheaded.
a man who doesn’t want to get married and lives alone. labeled as a commitment-phobic wimp who can’t handle a family.

double standards suck!
applying different sets of rules to the same princ-p-ls especially when they are both equally as bad
1- the word “f-ck” is edited out from the daily newspaper, however the word “sh-t” and stories of a s-xual nature are published without censorship and question even though all of these princ-p-ls are taboo.

2 – the police can mace an aggressive criminal and get a “well done” yet a member of the public who even uses spray deoderant to fight off an attacker is placed under arrest even though the law permits people to use “such forces as they deem necessary” to defend oneself/home/property. this is considered an act of high treason by way of the government levying war upon there own people.

3 – marijuana, a relatively harmless herb is outlawed yet tobacco which is highly addictive and kills 10x more people than road accidents a year is, why? because big name tobacco pay the government to keep pot illegal for fear it will ruin their precious tobacco crop

all of these are a double standard
