Why is it that men can talk about burping and farting , and all sorts of bodily functions but when women do it we are considered nasty?

I am just asking this in general I am actully married and my husband doesnt care what I talk about. I just wanted to know why there is such a big double standard?

Men don't consider it to be nasty when a woman talks about burping and farting, other women have issues with it cause it's not "lady-like." Personally, I have no issues with my wife discussing my terrific smelling farts(they smell like roses yanno)!

What women do you talk with? From what I have heard and overheard in my lifetime I haven't noted much difference.
Women tend to be a little more modest in mixed company. It may have to do with male bonding; and the fact that we have not been trained to run to the powder room and talk about it.
I am reminded of an old ski song, "Roll Your Leg Over". Last verse goes: "I wish all the girls were singing this song, would be ten times as dirty and twelve times as long."

Women sit around and talk about who is a female dog/sl*t etc, and generally treat other women like trash. Why do you do that?
And why would you want to talk about burping and farting?

Women are just as nasty as men are they just don't admit it so we aggrevate you girls about it when we hear you fart or whatever hoping that you will give up this notion you have that you are not as gross as us. We really dont care but you do that is why.

The men I know who do this, do it for the humor inherent in the shock/gross-out value. In short, they enjoy crude humor.
In my experience, women rarely enjoy crude humor. We like our humor a bit more refined, a bit more highbrow. Bodily functions aren't humor to us... just crude.

tomboys can.i think that it takes time to feel comfortable around family,friends or significant others talking about those 'nasty' things that generally aren't acceptable for women because they're suppose to act 'feminine'.

You're talking about burping and farting right now, and I don't think you're nasty. I think you're nice!

luv ya!!
Acutally, why would anyone care what anyone else has to say abou them. Live like YOU want to live. Not what anyone else deems the right way.
(with some exceptions of course. No murdering, raping, etc..)

This would take way too long to actually answer so I'll just say because you're supposed to be a "lady".

sexual discrimination. men are expected to be men. woman are expected to be a "ladies" . I have been close enough to hear you "ladies only groups" the things women say would put us men to shame.
