Do you hate double standards?

Question

A friend of mine told me she is a strong, independent woman. The equal of a man. She then told me about a guy she likes but will not directly talk to him, because that is not how a woman should act. I told her that was nothing but a lousy double standard.

Answer 1

Feerths, your example which accompanied this question, was a very good example. If a person takes a stance or position concerning a certain subject (in this case referring to who she is and how she should be treated and behave), then behaves in a manner which is the opposite, that is a double standard. It seems women have come back on this question, as there is nothing wrong with such a two-faced position. While the men have come back with feeling there is a loss of integrity, and a lack of surprise for such behavior. Great question.

Answer 2

Women want everything dog you didn't know. They want us to hold the door open for them, but don't think they can't hold it open for themselves. They want you to complement them but they don't want to blow your head up by doing the same. Women say it's because there complicated but that's not complicated, that's selfish. and since they wont make up their minds then were supposed to be more understanding. If a man doesn't stick to his decisions then he is looked at as weak.

I say that we put them on the front lines if they want to be in the military. If they want to work construction let them pick up sacks of dry cement and put down those stop and slow signs. If they want to be considered equal to a man then they should be held to the same physical as well as mental standards that a man is held to. Because in essence that is women's liberation: to be treated like equals.

Answer 3

Double standards are never proper, yet we are all human. we ought to continually love others and ourselves whilst we fall short and sin, yet attempt to do greater proper and to finally conquer those sins. What I hate are hypocrites who pontificate one element yet stay yet another. Or people who justify their strikes via asserting that each and every person they could desire to do is say "i've got faith." the guy who's extremely sorry for the blunders they make and are available to God in prayer clearly and humbly and exhibit regret and help are continually forgiven and continually obtain help. people who're hypocritical approximately it and not honest ought to place self belief of their very own materials, via fact God has no section in them.

Answer 4

I think that is stupid. I asked my husband out and we have been together for 10 years. She is missing out because a guy loves when a woman steps up and takes the pressure off of them. Maybe she thinks he doesn't like her and she is just making excuses.

Answer 5

The world is changing. Women want to be treated like men when it comes to "pros" yet treated like women when comes to "cons".Example: women want in the military but they don't want to be on the front lines and the last off a sinking ship.

Answer 6

Fact of life. We need to move beyond it and learn from it.

Heres something I learned today
Insanity: means doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
things that make you go hmmmmmm.

Answer 7

Yes I do, especially when people try to put all of the blame on the woman.

Answer 8

Yes, but they exist. And in everyday life. Sometimes you hafta bend rules and expectations to fit the situation.

Answer 9

Yes she is playing two roles. She has a complex personality. Maybe because she is something else and others want her to be something else.

Answer 10

I totally agree with you, the world is not as advanced as we use to think.
