Because the whole point of feminism is to introduce double standards that are in their favor.
It was never about equal rights, it has always been about special rights.

For starters, very few people complain about things in their favor.
Only people who are pretty moral would notice and bring up things that are too much in their favor and are detrimental to others.
Now, although by no means are all feminists critical or antagonistic people, I am going to assume that we are talking about the ones that are. This also would apply to any critical or antagonistic person in any field, not just feminism.
People of that nature tend not to bring up subjects that could lead to them "loosing" an argument.
People naturally want to be right and it takes a big man, especially in these days, to admit oneself is wrong.

Croa said stated it succinctly, and very well. Why would we do that? Did we say feminism was about equality or something!? HAHAHA
Of course, if you care to be specific, you may get a specific excuse why we need that double standard because we are vulnerable or some sort of myth which justifies it's necessity, or if you're lucky and we're feeling honest a nice succinct men bad; women good answer.

There is no advantage to it and to do so only invites resistance to the rest of their efforts and beliefs...
I think they probably should though.
Then again, I think proprietary permanent monogamy is a means of control by men but many feminists get married anyway...
...because they either don't understand or appreciate the biology of gender differences.

this feminism crap is all wrong...... get those feminists to work and stop complaining. if THEY were smarter they would get better conditions. They don't complain cause they don't care about equality, they want superiority.

people do not generally complain if something is in their favor.

Because they're hypocrites and opportunists.
Many feminists and women in general don't acknowledge the numerous double-standards that go against men. Instead, they only focus on double-standards that go against women.

feminism is itself self refuting ideology. i liked the older day feminism. the old feminists that started it all would be ashamed. they wanted the right to work and to vote and real equality. not superiority
