Double Standards

[Ryanson]

Don't you hate them?

I know I do.

I mean, we all experience it in one way or another. But it really bugs me lots.

What are some of the double standards you see daily? Which would you prefer didn't exist? How do you deal with them?

I hate how when a girl has sex with some dude, it's normal, but when I do it everyone calls me gay.

I believe he means when people are offended by racism aimed at their own ethnicity, but then they can do the same towards others as if racism were only a one-way street.

I think gender double standards should be highlighted. Girls have it bad in some ways while guys have it bad in others.

Girls for example
If a Girl has sex with three guys, she's a whore. While if a guy has sex with three girls, he's a "Player".

And for guys
If a girl dated multiple guy's that treat her bad, everyone always blame the guys. But they never blame the girl for being a bad chooser.

Double standards suck in many ways.

I don't see them daily, but it's often enough to bother me. When a black guy beats up a white guy, it's just a fight, but when a white guy beats up a black guy, it's often called a hate crime. Basically the whole "only white people can be racists" bullshit. Also, if a man is assaulted or raped by a woman it's not considered a big deal, but if a woman is assaulted or raped by a man then people want the man dead. Basically the whole "only men are sexist/sexual predators" bullshit.

Which would you prefer didn't exist?

I would prefer if none of them existed.

How do you deal with them?

Nothing I can really do about it other than express my thoughts/feelings on the subject.

When a woman complains that men need to be more sensitive, then, as soon as she sees a man crying over a break up, she rolls her eyes and says that he needs to man up.

The fact that there's nearly universal acceptance that art is required to culturally advance the world, but then they go ahead and treat traditional artists like shit and leave the only real artist jobs in the entertainment business.

Not been affected by that myself, but it's a really annoying thing to observe. Everyone sucks.

When you hear people say "I always look for the personality", and then they end up dating a hot/handsome dumbass who shares nothing in common with said person.

The biggest ones seem to be between men and women. The whole women being whores if they sleep around but guys are awesome for it really does annoy me. It's a cruel double standard towards women that in todays society (western world) doesn't really make sense.

as far as i can recall... it's always been like that... I knew a girl named Kathy, and she was nice and all... but she put out... easily... and she was labeled a "mega slut" basically, if anyone wanted to get laid, you'd talk to her...
And it's also true about the guys, I knew several guys that were like "OMFG I'VE NAILED 10 CHICKS" and they were looked up upon by other idiots...

While wrong (tbh) it doesn't change the fact that girls that are -very- with several partners are called sluts by all, even other women...

.......It does make sense, it's like that because it's about 10X easier for women to get laid. There are stupid sluts, ugly sluts, fat sluts, dirty sluts, but to be a stud you have to have something. A nice cock, handsome, good physique, charmingly intelligent, money, fame, cars, etc.

I agree with you 85%.

Traits you were born with are not necessary to have an impeccable game.

I don't like them, but they're a founding part of society or some shit like that.
