wtf is with these double standards

parents will get nervous when their daughter is around an older man and be suspicious of him
but don't care if their son is around an older woman

i just got a letter telling me to register for the selective service or face fine/imprisonment
wonder if eighteen year old females get the same

women sees nood male and nothing wrong, actually quite normal as doctors/caretakers
man sees nood/partially undressed female and get arrested for sex harassment/abuse/assault

something goes wrong in a relationship it's always the man's fault

titanic women and children first

older man does it with female minor, he is a pedphile and goes to jail for 10 years
older woman does it with male minor, it is ignored

fathers protect their daughters from any man and beat him up if they get close
sons are supposed to protect their mothers. who protects themselves?

I think you should stop whining about stuff like this. That's for women to do, hence Feminism.

sort of exaggerating on a lot of them, but males are the ones who have the power in society to uphold these standards so maybe you could ask the majority of people in leadership positions throughout history hahaha

[quote=Harlequinist]1. Older men are more likely to be perverts/p3dos than women
2. Women suck in combat
3. Men like to get naked, or be shirtless; women are 'expected' to remain modestly dressed.
4. Women are 'expected' to be somewhat submissive to her man, so if there's a problem it's probably brought about by the male.
5. Chivalry. They were seen as more fragile, but still more useful overall than elderly.
6. Older men want young girls, older women want older men, not little boys.
7. Protect them from other men, women are too weak to do physical damage, but mothers do try to protect their sons from emotional hurt.

Also, get over it, we're equal but different. Seriously. Gender wars are so fricken annoying I want to slap every man, woman and child that btches about how unfair their gender has it.[/quote]

[quote=KyuuKyuuMoar]the double standard actually makes sense, the ratio of Male sexual offenders and female sexual offenders is like..

30:1?[/quote]
I can't tell you how wrong this statistic is. Both men and women are actually 50/50 in sex offenders, it's just that women aren't shown in the media as often. Because of double standards.

@iVege: I'm not at all. I'm simply stating that most of his examples are not of current day events and recent laws which makes them invalid. Maybe you read my comment to quickly?

But... M-muh patriarchy!

The only double standard that REALLY pisses me off is when a grown man is around a child.
People ALWAYSSS assume he's some sort of peedophile. What the hell.

@BoredAF: You don't understand the situation. My uncle is the only one that works and his wife has gone to school for almost 6 years already and all she does is just is play along. No matter how horrible the woman has done something (unless she's done drugs), the man, even if he's a loyal husband and a loving father, cannot have custody.
You may think I'm biased because I'm on my uncle's side, but I see him work so hard for his family and he still hasn't divorced that woman because in the end, he still loved her and wanted what's best for his kids as well. But i'm telling you, no matter how awful the woman has done something, she's still allowed to have the kids and the dad isn't allowed to have any custody over them. It's not an equal amount of time for the both of them. No, it's more so on the woman's part.
Which is dumb because what if the male is a reasonable father? Is it because mom's are more "nurturing"? This idea that mothers are more "nurturing" and saying that dads can't "nurture" as well as a mother can is such a big double standard. Just because dads are meant to work hard doesn't mean they can't care for their kids. That's the same thing a single mom can do. But nooooo, in California they'd rather have a single mom take care of the children more than a single dad. My uncle's wife can't even stay in a house with her kids. While my uncle has to do everything from sign up his kids at school to go to the doctor, you name it.

[quote=pinoymystic]I don't know where you get you're facts from, but I'm pretty sure some of these aren't true.

However, the one thing that bugs me about California state law (which is a huge double standard) is that if a woman is a prostitute or has cheated on the husband, she can still have custody over the children. (If unless she takes drugs, then she cannot have custody.) I know this because my uncle was going to divorce his wife because she cheated on him with a male and a female and even got a video of the act. The court said that she could still take care of the children WHEN my uncle spends all his time taking care of the kids and she goes off in her own little world of exercise, sex, and God knows what.[/quote]

I can assure you, everything he says is true.

[quote=LeBatman]most of these are just part of what women call 'chivalry' - when its really just sexism (Y)[/quote]

Imo, chivalry is a privilege. It's something a man should be proud of.

Honestly, calling chivalry sexist is dumb. Females and males are fundamentally different. They won't ever be 'equal' in all aspects. And there's no point in being equal in all aspects. In fact, a world like that would be boring.

Real feminism is equal rights (pay, opportunities, etc). That's all there is to it.

@Edit: I'm just saying. Most or all of the points the TS made are not chivalrous acts in the slightest. And feminism in a modern context isn't even.

[quote=Collee]I'm going to hit these one by one instead of just telling you you're wrong.

#1 that is because generally men pressure women into intimate acts, and the older they are generally the more they expect that intimacy sooner in the relationship

#2 The selective service act began in 1917 and was replaced by the current day version in 1948. Women currently are not allowed to fill "front lines" positions in the military so I would wait for them to earn that right before this law applies to them as well. (Some bans are being lifted this year)

#3 men are generally less sensitive, it's the testosterone i suppose

#4 1912. At this time men did not partake much in child rearing. I hope you aren't implying that children shouldn't be the first priority on a sinking ship.

#5 This is not actually a standard in favor of women. This goes back to the whole "if a women sleeps with 19 guys she's a loose woman, if a man does the same he's a chick magnet" It is considered a victory when a male sleeps with a woman, and older woman especially.

#6 I feel like this is a riddle with a simple answer, anyone can protect themselves.[/quote]

Except for #2, your arguments are as flawed at the TS'. All you're doing is addressing the problem in the same way, but from a different perspective.

I think in some cases those 'standards' can be detrimental, but it isn't a double standard by any means.

Sexual preference is prevalent to discriminate against both females and males, in periods of the 1800's pregnancy could be used as a defense that a women enjoyed being sexually attacked. Likewise, in some middle eastern countries today, sexual advances by men are deemed fault of the woman assaulted.

Also for your first statement, I don't believe it is true in some cases. My parents would be very at unease if I was dating a woman significantly older than myself however, I don't think many girls parents' would fret too much if I was dating their daughter whom happened to be younger than me; I assume.

Bro, most of your "complaints" are more so revolves around the person's maturity. In all honesty, you did not address this in a good way. FYI, the select service thing, my sister got it, so that point is invalid, hell most of your complaints are situational. For the most part, your a man suck it up and move on. The last one, I just feel, as an adult, it's only natural to help your mother, your are stronger, and you are a MAN. If you want to blame something blame the Patriarchy society we where raised off of.
