If men are in court for murder, they have no excuse
If women are in court. Sometimes they can drop the "abuse" line and get off with a lesser sentence.

Here are some of the complaints men have:
- If I break something, a woman will blame me but I can't blame a woman for breaking something.
- I can't make jokes about hitting a woman but women can joke about hitting me.
- I'm not allowed to stare at women's bodies but women are allowed to stare at me.
- I can't use derogatory language directed towards women but women can.
Here are some complaints women have:
- One out of every five women will be raped, but only one out of 165 men will be.
- I work the same job as a man, but get paid on average twenty-five cents less an hour.
- I have a 300% higher chance of being murdered by my spouse than a man does.
- I am more likely to die of gender-neutral diseases, and a lower percentage of medical funding goes towards my sex-specific diseases despite their prevalence being higher.
- The vast majority of religious organizations will not allow me any semblance of authority or power despite me showing equal skill with a man.
In short, stop fucking whining, you over-privileged brats. Boo fucking hoo. No one cares if you can't stare at tits or that you have to be extra nice to those pesky ladies, lest they period themselves everywhere over you. Until you're afraid of walking home in the dark, I don't care.

See, the problem is you're talking about the bitchy women and making it out as though we're all like that. Protip--every gender has its bad apples. Guys are not so innocent when it comes to these "double standards," either. Why is it a guy can sleep with a bunch of women he's a stud, but if a woman sleeps with a bunch of guys she's a slut? Why is it when a guy gets into a car accident it's because it's an accident, but when a woman has an accident it's because she's a woman? Why is it that guys in fantasy films and games get reasonable armor, while all the women get is chainmail bikinis? Why are all the famous male porn stars all ugly as sin?Project_Omega said:
There are double-standards everywhere, on both sides of the issue. Men are no less guilty than women, and to say otherwise only shows your own naivete and inexperience in the world. There are plenty of bitches and douchebags in the world. There's no need to be pointing fingers at who is the worse person, because really, they're all bad.
Yes, equality does demand respect for men too. Yes, there are double standards that negatively impact men too.
But Jesus Christ are you missing the point if you think that the double standards men face are comparable in scope to those faced by women.
We have a few bigger fucking problems than the fact that men are more liable to be called out by women for mistakes (to the extent that this is even true - women just get fucked over in different ways for mistakes).

Not to be rude to anyone of course, but this typically comes from my overly traditional mother.
"Ohh, I'm a weak, frail woman.
"
5 minutes later.
"Hey! Women are equal to men and can do anything you can, and even better!"
At this point (insert task here) can be done by its self for all I care.

Honestly can't recall being abused by a woman in the past week. Or month. Or year. Why are these topics such a bedlam of debate? Can't we just tell some funny stories and move on?
There was an argument that broke out in the local meat deli shop, where I was standing behind this lady and she kept arguing with the cashier over the price of some sliced lamb she bought, saying he had overweighed the price and citing that historically every man thinks women are bad at math and beating him over the head with stupid examples and just carrying on loud enough to wake the dead until finally I step in front of her, show the packaged pastrami I was buying, tossed my money on the counter, then started out. And as I'm walking out, she says to me "Way to go, fuckface! I knew you were waiting. I would have bought it for your inconvenience!"
And I guess my point is the cashier and I were both laughing too hard to be angry, but if it were one irate man cursing out two women it would equal instant jail time.
