How do women feel about double standards?

Question

I've been attacked a lot for my questions here, but I just think in regard to equality with men and women, it should be ALL or NOTHING.

this means if men and women are going to be equal it should be 100% equality across the board. And if not, then we should have gender roles. None of this "I want to get equal pay, but still not fight in wars" or "I want a strong manly man, but I don't want to cook or clean".

I feel like the feminists only want equality on certain issues

I mean the draft. I know women can inlist.

Pam: I don't dislike women. Why do people think when you ask about women you mean ALL women on earth. Come on people.. come on

I don't like war either.. just making a point.

Answer 1

ALL women don't want equality. The vast majority of women are perfectly content with gender roles, as long as they are treated with respect, fairness, and dignity.

You speak of *feminism*, which requires equality in social, economic, and political areas, which is basically everything. Feminism thus demands that men and women be treated equally always.

One cannot promote feminism and at the same time not promote full equality between men and women, even socially or when equality may put women (or men) at a disadvantage. Equal treatment does not always provide for equal outcomes.

Does that seems impractical? Many people think so, even many feminists? So, they prefer exceptions to equality. They don't want to be treated exactly like men in all circumstances.

But, you can't have it both ways. Either you believe in equality or you do not.

Answer 2

I don't see why I should have to fight in wars if I don't like wars... There's no logic to what you're saying here. A lot of men don't like wars either, and have NO intention of joining the army.

As for "manly men" and "cooking", I don't see the link either. I never said I wanted a strong manly man. I want a man. Then, whatever qualities women will be looking for will dependent on in woman (same applied for qualities that men are looking for in their girlfriend). As for cooking, I can't really cook, which is why my boyfriends have always cooked, but I'm planning on learning. As for cleaning, I hate cleaning, and if I work as much as my boyfriend, I don't see why I should clean but he wouldn't. If I work less than he does, then I would take care of more of the household chores. I think that's pretty fair.

Answer 3

properly I for one hate double standards and that i'm no longer promiscuous. actual can count huge sort all companions on all hand and that i had intimate relatives between all my companions (different than one). i do no longer think of this is that throughout the time of any respect and that i've got heard ladies that are nonetheless virgins who hate double standards. additionally double standards pass deeper than in simple terms intercourse. this is in simple terms the main centred one. EDIT: properly in all fairness omit Theo, intercourse feels damn reliable and it relatively is a actuality women get greater out of intercourse than adult adult males. i do no longer sleep around yet i will see why a woman might. intercourse is astonishing and there is no longer something incorrect with taking part in it. i comprehend if I wasn't with my boyfriend anymore, i may well be bothered to have intercourse after awhile.....

Answer 4

Ask them how they feel about allowing men the same or equivalent choices in reproduction that women have; you'll get your answer.
In that particular area, among others, feminists demand women be given many choices while men get exactly *none*. They love double standards when it benefits them and it is not limited to reproduction.
The same applies to registration for selective service. While many self-identified feminists say they approve of women being included in selective service, (or the complete elimination of it), the fact that feminists as a group are doing nothing about this obvious inequality indicates that feminism as a group, approves of the double standard that is federal law.
There is a long list of 'feminist approved' double standards, none of which are in danger of being overturned because they pick and choose the standards they will attack.

Answer 5

As a woman veteran of the United States Navy, I thought I would just let you know that it is actually the men running the armed forces that will not allow us to fight.

P.S. Maybe you are being attacked because you are accusing ALL feminists of being a certain way.

Feminists are all different. Me: I can launch aircraft off a flight deck. I can build a fence. I wear high heels. I demand equal pay. I bring my husband a beer anytime he asks. I wear skirts and work on the car. We're not all the same.

Answer 6

The first thing to address is why you're being attacked for the questions. The way most of them are phrased tends to be the issue that a lot of people are having. You might want to work on that so they come across a bit better.


As for the question itself, I'll say what I always have-- whoever can get something done had better get it done. I could care less if they're male, female, olive-skinned, tall, short or purple, if there's work to be done and they can do it, get to it.

Answer 7

Yeah, I've seen you talk about double standards a lot before. I agree somewhat, but most of there ones you usually lay out don't apply to me. I don't demand that a man open a door for me, or pay for all the dates. My bf and I take turns paying for dates, I'm against anyone being drafted or having to sign up for selective service. My bf and I have discussed marriage together many times, and if we do, I've made it clear there won't be a diamond (I think it's a waste of money).

That being said, people can be attracted to whatever they want. I can be attracted to buffed out manly man and still not want all the domestic duties dumped on me. I don't see the problem there.

Answer 8

It is no lie that equally qualified women get paid less for the same job as their male counterparts. That's not right in any way, shape or form. Look it up. TRUE.

Since I consider myself a feminist, I actually feel the same way you do. All or nothing. Girls can do anything boys can do, they might just have to beef up their muscles a bit!

Answer 9

I think that a lot of women are willing to fight on the front lines, but there is some sort of militray law preventing them from doing so. If women can become cops and firefighters then they should be able to defend their country as well.

Answer 10

maybe it is not really an attack and then perhaps some do but try to look at the ones who make sense it helps me. about women fighting in the army, well if she wants to go to war she can enlist nothing is stopping her. out side that on other issues i just am not sure any more but i do see some are there.
