Thats the technical term of course.

But yes, double standards.
Man naked at window, woman looks, he gets done for indecent exposure.

My 'favorite' double standard is the one dealing with acceptable exposure.

If a man takes off his shirt to flaunt what he's got, he's a manly man that it's okay for children to look up to. Said flaunting of physique might even help him to become governor some day (as well as to sire an illegitimate child or two along the way).

If a woman takes off her shirt for so much as ventilation, she's a shameless harlot whose going to corrupt the children of the world (maybe even her own child if she was about to breastfeed her/him?) and a disgrace to society.
Yea, and men don't have tits, either. *facepalm*

Go down to a beach this summer. I can guarantee the skimpiest beach-wear you'll see is that on a female. You're not going to see a dude on the beach wearing nothing but a thong.

Unless you live near a nude beach, of course, in which case disregard this =P
True, men don't have breasts, but that doesn't mean Faux Furry doesn't have a point. Breasts have only become associated with sexuality through society, they aren't inherently sexual objects. I'm not a burn-your-bra type feminist or anything (though I full-heartedly support women's rights), but really, it's phenomenally unfair situation. You don't know how many times I've been outside on a roasting hot day, seeing near-enough every guy swaggering around with no top on and been desperate to do the same just to cool off.

The idea that seeing a women's breasts could corrupt a child is absurd. They have no concept of sexuality (at a young age) beyond what is taught to them by their elders. They won't look at a topless women and see it as any different (bar the shape of course) from a topless man.

And in response to your comment on swimsuits; Yes, women are more likely to dress in that way than men, but again that's through the influence of society. Skimpy swimwear is produced almost exclusively for women, who have every right to choose to wear it. If a man however is seen dressing provocatively he'll most likely be mocked, so it's logical that most men would choose to wear something else. And hey, guess what men don't wear when they swim? Any kind of top. Another example of the double-standard regarding exposure.

However, whilst this is mainly unfair to women, men suffer because of it too. Continuing your example of beachwear, it is incredibly unlikely to see a young man on a hot enough day wearing a top. Sure, older, more self-confident men might still cover up, but chances are that a guy around his friends will feel the need to be semi-nude. A lot of my male friends aren't comfortable with this, they feel too exposed, yet they'll have the piss ripped out of them if they don't. Very unfair.

Finally, I'd like to apologise if I came across aggressively here. It's not my intention, I assure you. I just felt the point could be debated, but I apologise if I've done so in an offensive manner.

Maternity leave.
In Sweden both parents get 240 days leave each to spend with their child. With pay. One of the reasons why Sweden is a good place to raise kids =)

OT: If a woman doesn't wear make-up she's considered unfeminine and unattractive. A man on the other hand can practically get away with looking like he just rolled out of bed. (a gross over-generalisation I know, but I'm tired of make-over rom-coms were a woman is considered dog-ugly until she puts on a little lipgloss.)

"Everyone who generalizes obviously needs their head checked."



Just adding a law, which might not be a double standard, but looking through the comments here I thought it would be somewhat appropriate:

"In any argument, the side you're on is always the one who is treated unfairly."

In response to some of the "A can do this and it's okay, but when B does it.." double standards mentioned. I dont think the world is that black and white, so to speak.

(I know it doesnt apply to all arguments, but none of the "laws" do, do they?)

Girl kisses girl on live TV: No problem here.

Guy kisses guy on live TV: Every news network covers it for the next month.
Also:

Girl kisses girl on TV once, but then just continues to date men. Show acts like it never happened.

At least the guy storylines are usually taken more seriously. :[

Really? Because mine is Chris Rock's entire act. If there was a white version of him, his career would be cut off *like that*

I would bet you cant find just 1 example of a woman being convicted of date rape with alcohol.
How much money? 'Cause I just spoke to my father and he has a female inmate serving time for sexually assaulting (there is no "Rape" charge, it is called sexual assault in Australia, regardless of gender) a man who was drunk at a party. So too has he 'looked after' many, many other women serving time for sexual assault.

If you are in the U.S the law was changed long ago so a man can indeed be raped. If you are in England or Australia, this is also true - though, once again it should be noted that although called rape, the actual charge on their record in the latter two countries is sexual assault.
Well i happen to know Australia does not have uniform defenitions and they vary from between states and terretories, and there are still australian states that can convict you of rape. Also while america changed the laws in 1970 so that rape is no longer classified as something that a man does to a woman, most states still require "forced penetration" meaning that if a woman has sex with an unconsious man it in fact cannot be classified as rape. This usually means that it was something more severe than they got drunk and hooked up in a bar, such as my origional quote says.

Edit: Oh and this is the legal defenition of rape in england
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Rape

(1) A person (A) commits an offence if?

(a) he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis,

(b) B does not consent to the penetration, and

(c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents.

this a thousand times over. i really really hate that kind of thing. for all racial differences to be put aside, it MUST be the same rule for all. kinda why i am against radical feminism, where women say that women should just rule the world.

i refer you to watch south park, cartmans silly hate crime 2000, the speech about hate crimes there is pretty true to my point.

How about the one MovieBob talked about? The one from the Thor episode of the Big Picture? How it's good to replace established white characters in movies but bad to replace established minority characters.

I personally don't give a shit, but I thought I should mention it.


Communist partisan said:
If you haven't had sex with a girl you're gay... and if you had sex with a shitload of girls you're really fucking gay! seriously?

If you're a Communist you're a greedy swine, if you're a Capitalist you're a good person...

If you're a skinhead you're always a nazi.. and that fucking bother me...
1) Wait...what? This one doesn't make sense. If you sleep with a lot of girls...you're really gay?

2) Again, this one doesn't make sense. Communism is about sharing wealth, yes?

3) Is this a double standard or a misconception?

I'm not trying to troll, I just want to understand what you are trying to say. If you can explain why these make sense, I could be inclined to agree.

One of the dumbest double standards is that there is never real female villains.

I'm not even sure who this is more offensive to, but whenever a villain comes up and a story and they are female withing 5 minutes they will become the most sympathetic villain ever who is sometimes more righteous than the people they are fighting.

Are you fucking kidding me. Women can be just as intelligent, cunning and evil as men. I would say that young teenage girls (under 15) are the only beings objectively evil in the entire universe.

Men hitting women: Abuse!

This, oh, this!

And extended further, the misconception that it is only men who can perpatrate domestic violence. If a guy complains, his mates will tell him he's 'whipped', and to harden up. If a woman were to make to same claim, the cops would be all over the guys before he knew what was happening.

I hate double standards but the ones that I hate the most is:
1) the same women\men violence\sex that you see above
2) a nice guy ask a girl for a relationship, "RAPE! RAPE! HELP, RAPE!". A jerk ask the same girl for a "relationship" (A.K.A one night in bed), "Oh yes, let's go"
3) In some countries they allow gay mirage if only if both partners are women.
