In some states they even require the husband's permission! I'm in Louisiana and technically still married to my ex. I had uterine cancer and needed a hysterectomy they wanted me to break a restraining order to have him come in with me to agree to sign off on a hysterectomy. I said f@ck that and went to another state which is sad that I had to do that but yeah women have no say over their bodies at all.

Double standards are commonly viewed as a bad thing. No surprise there—nobody likes to be treated differently than anyone else unless it has a positive effect on them. But even then someone other than the beneficiary is put at a disadvantage and that is also not good. So, the idea would be to be treated equally regardless of circumstance.

Now, the pursuit of equality is a very commendable thing. However, soon you are faced with another problem, and that is how far will you take it? Pushing it to an extreme is not an option, so where do you draw the line?

This is where you might start to realize that there isn’t really any ideal place to be in terms of being treated equally as there are too many variables to consider without going overboard. It has to be realistically reasonable, right?

The mentality towards victims of SA depending on their gender.

Yes, there is definitely a double standard there that puts one student at an advantage over another all because of who they are.

Another double standard that you might consider not a bad idea is the idea of the different standards applicable to adults and children in terms of responsibility.

After all, the maturity and understanding of the world that adults possess mean that they are expected to take on more responsibility and face full consequences for their actions. Children, on the other hand, get more lenient treatment and are provided guidance in the same situations.

She was mocked and berated, and her career took a nose dive. Justin Timberlake suffered very little repercussions from this. To be clear, I don't think anyone should have been ostracized.

I'm in the US and I'm a white guy. I have a friend who immigrated here from China. She is rich and lives on a beachfront property in California. She claims to be extremely oppressed over her race while living a better life than anyone I've ever met.

She calls everyone racist while also making the most racist statements I've ever heard about other minority groups. She recently stopped talking to me because I'm half Jewish and she's decided that Jews are Nazis because of the conflict in the middle east.

I'm a progressive and she always called me racist and conservative. When I met her boyfriend, he said "I heard about you, you're the MAGA guy, right?".

Where did she get this impression from? Because I said I wouldn't want to date an activist. She said she hopes my house gets burned down by BLM rioters so I know what it feels like to be oppressed.

Meanwhile, when Covid hit and there were racial tensions between Black and Asian people in San Francisco, she said some of the most racist things I've ever heard anyone say.

She represents a certain subgroup of this leftist movement who will consider you their enemy if you don't agree with 100% of their beliefs 100% of the time.

That's the biggest double standard I've seen. And they're not too hard to find in big progressive cities.

Heck, even the idea of hypocrisy could be justified in pretty much the same utilitarian way. For example, a doctor might consider telling a patient that they ought to lose some weight for their health, while being overweight themselves. The patient might not take the doc’s words seriously, but the doc’s ultimate goal is for the patient to be healthy, and their own bodily state has nothing to do with it.

Men can sleep around, and they are praised. Women do it. They are called 304s and shamed. When women cry and express their feelings, it's wonderful and healthy. When men do it, they need to "quit being so sensitive and be a man." Like men have feelings/emotions. Let them express those feelings before it comes out as anger or they k¡ll themselves. When a woman gets angry, it is because she is emotional or irrational. If a man gets angry, it is because he knows what he wants and gets it. Women who want to snuggle are affectionate. Men who want to snuggle are needy. Men can easily get a vasectomy but if a woman wants to get her tubes tied she has to jump through hoops. The pink tax. Men who are victims of rape, sexual harassment, and/or assault are less likely to be taken seriously. The legal system, in general, gives women fewer harsh sentences than men who committed the same crime.

In Denmark, the husband of the Queen is a prince, but the wife of the King is a Queen.

Alro, I admit, I had a "so?" reaction. Then I thought about hierarchy and how King is considered greater than queen who is considered greater than prince. The language will have to adjust to correct the misogyny that is in that hierarchy. Perhaps the ruler is the king, no matter the gender, and the spouse is the queen? Leaving prince and princess for the children. Or King and queen are rulers. And the spouse would be king consort or queen consort, denoting they are married to royalty, but not a ruler themselves. This is really for people who have kings and queens to figure out. Where I'm from we have the president and first lady. In case of a woman president, she'd still be the president, but would a president's husband be called first gentleman? First man? First lord? None of those seem right.

An obese person who loses a huge amount of weight is celebrated as an inspiration. A person who avoided becoming obese is not celebrated as an inspiration. A person who is two years sober (or whatever length of time) is celebrated as an inspiration. A person who never abused drugs or alcohol is not celebrated as an inspiration.

For me, it depends on context, such as upbringing and genetics. An example: I was impressed by a woman whose family abused alcohol - she wasn't tempted to drink, but to gamble. She made a deal with herself: only bingo once a week and the money had to come from a second job. I'm not tempted to gamble or abuse drugs. Thus, I don't see the point in being lauded for it when it hasn't been a struggle for me at all.

Those are not double standards, in my opinion. Both losing weight and getting sober can be quite difficult for most, and impossible for some. To do either is considered a victory that some find inspirational.

Cops are constantly breaking laws and drive like they own the roads, breaking traffic laws as well. But they are the ones in charge to enforce them. Aren't they supposed to be leading by example not to break any laws at all? I want to see cops driving at the speed limit at least.

How do you know they aren't speeding to clock the speeder up the road long enough before they switch on the lights. Just because you see a cop speeding doesn't mean they are breaking the law.

Ukrainian women were allowed to leave the country with the kids. Men were forced to stay and fight and die. I'm not surprised that not even one feminist/women's group denounced this as horribly sexist and unfair. The saying is there are no Atheists in foxholes. There are no feminists in foxholes or anything else they can't cherry pick or that doesn't benefit them.

Worked on a cruise ship, there is no such thing as 'woman and children' first principles for evacuation (and no legal base). Most people will try to save the children first, and the mothers accompanying them. You can watch the footage of Costa Concordia sinking, it took the screaming of one Italian dude to actually place a kid on one of the boat, nobody cared about this so called rule at all during the panic, and some women ended up in the water.

It does take self-discipline not to click on a tempting link. Morbid curiosity can get the best of us. I could blame BP, but I feel more in control if I think, "Not a great experience to have, so learn from it."

The hell are you talking about? Police are not the judge and jury, and the rules definitely apply to them. You clearly have never seen that happpen, so quit your b******t. Also when a cop beats someone up it makes national news and causes a city to be burned down, but when a career criminal beats a woman to the point she has brain damage, he's back on the streets in a few days.

No, it's "don't assume a homosexual is also a paedophile", not "don't assume a homosexual can't be a paedophile". There's a big important difference.

Is that really a thing? Back when I was young it was often strongly suggested that a homosexual male was almost *always* also a paedophile.

Another day, another bigot spewing ignorance and hate. I'll bet you're ignorant enough to wrongly "think" that an adult male abusing a male child equates to homosexuality. Cisgender heterosexual males abuse prepubescent boys because they appear feminine. The University of California Davis's studies on abuse of children report only 1% of sexual abusers of children are queer, far below the 10%+ in society. Cis hetero males are and always have been the biggest threat to children. [ https://lgbpsychology.org/html/facts_molestation.html ]

I'd like to see evidence of that assumption - not something I've heard in 60 years. It was always assumed to be the other way round.

That’s the egalitarian nature of pedophilia: Anyone can be a pedophile, they don’t discriminate membership at all.
