Hey Pandas, What Double Standard Bothers You The Most?

I came to this article JUST to post this! Glad someone already did, so I won't have to go through the trouble of typing all that (plus racism, homophobia, etc.).

100%... These days, disagreement is immediately synonymous with disrespect, when that isn't the case at all. We can both politely disagree, and get on with our own lives!! I thought your point raised about religions or people that don't support the LGBTQ+ community was interesting in that sense.

Fantasy too. Chainmail bikini anyone?

hmm I find the male costumes are also sexy and revealing: the main difference is they seem to often get capes? Or do batman, superman, flash, and spiderman all wear business suits? I thought every superhero except iron man, basically wears a leotard.

Since I was younger, all I ever wanted was a sweatpants and hoodie wearing girl with awesome golden Greek armor. She wasn't strong, she wasn't pretty, she wasn't cute, she was just herself. An awkward, middle school girl thrown into a crazy situation where she had to play hero. I thought it would have been awesome (and still do).

we need more women in iron clad armor and men in mini skirts and corset tops.

Vote up for sure

I'm on the fence here. If you want to work in a country then you should learn the official/most spoken language. How else are you going to communicate with customers, & clients However, if you are only going to live, work and socialise within a specific community it shouldn't matter. I don't mind my colleagues parents not speaking a word of English, because they have retired here and so don't have the same level of necessity.

It also bothers me when people who speak broken English are seen as stupid and mocked. “I now go to store.” (Some people are learning and just aren’t at 100% proper grammar yet).

The word "privilege" literally means "private law."

Prime Minister having a party during lockdown, nothing, a few people trying to see dying relatives, fined heavily.

The working class are consumers for capitalism. Hence why those who are homeless and jobless are left to suffer in the country that is the mother of capitalism.

I don't understand this one. Are you saying capitalism is appropriate for the working class? Or what?

Yeah, that's some bulls**t. Makes no sense!

somebody donates a kidney and they're called a hero but when I try to donate 5 kidneys you have me thrown in jail, how is that fair? lol

lol @ fathers babysitting. It's not called babysitting when it's your own kids....it's called parenting!

I am a house husband and a house dad. I homeschool my kids. Still, people, even my wife's family, calls me "Mr. Mom." You know there's a term for that, right? It's called "Dad."

Ha. Sometimes I have to remind my husband that he is not doing me a personal favor by taking care of the kids

Sounds like someone can’t cope with seeing the female anatomy.

Was this a Christian summer camp, by chance? It reminds me of one I went to as a kid - super strict dress code for girls (must cover shoulders and knees), while boys could go shirtless, etc.

If I would have been a parent, I would have screamed until everyone heard me. That is unacceptable in today's world. I mean it wasn't good before but now, unacceptable.

I don't think my youngest son is autistic but he's sensible to sound and whenever the class would get rowdy, he would be sent to the nurse with a migraine. Then the teacher started complaining it wasn't true. It was absolutely true since I was the exact same way. We'd get in bed with Advil and/or Tylenol.

I want good plus size clothes that aren't covered in flowers or have no shape. I don't want grandma clothes just because I'm a little bit bigger smh... I wish my mom would let me shop in the men's section....

Years ago when I carried a lot of weight, I quit buying womens' blouses and sweaters because they NEVER fit me in the bust. And I wasn't that "big." So I started buying men's sweaters and pull over t-shirts and I loved them because they fit in the bust and they weren't tight through the shoulders. I have lost a lot of weight and I STILL buy men's sweaters and t-shirts. Especially since most stuff is made in China and they don't have a freaking clue as to how western sizes run. Doesn't matter, if is made in China, I won't buy it.

As someone who has struggled with obesity most of my 50+ life, this is true and even I do it. When I see an obese person my judgement goes straight to ‘ lazy’ ‘ no will power’ ‘ lack of pride’. I scold myself as soon as I recognize my thoughts, but it’s real and no different than how quickly our brains jump to judgements of young or old individuals and other stereotypical traits. Twice in my life, I was at a healthy weight and the way I was treated is night/ day. More Job opportunities, physical attraction, simply more open friendly people when I was average sized. I know there are medical conditions or medications that can hinder weight loss, as well as genetics- as in my case too…..but equally it is my fault. Eating less and moving more sounds so simple to people that don’t struggle with being overweight, but there is more to it. We are seeing more healthcare attention to various elements of obesity…nutrition, Rx, surgery, psychological support… but so much more is needed.

I'm fat because I was on high dose steroids for a long time, I also sometimes have to use a wheelchair but not because of my weight, so you can imagine the comments I get. I've stopped going to the doctors until I've managed to lose enough weight because they won't even consider looking at any ailment I have, all I get is being told I'm fat and anything wrong with me will be cured when I'm thinner.

Look up photos of the top leaders of every big pharma company. White men. Occasional female and even more rarely a minority. Same topic- why don’t we have any male contraceptive options except condoms?

Well...it's not like it started with a boner drug...they were working on hypertension at the time.

Unfortunately it's due to Big Pharma not wanting that sweet, sweet cancer money to disappear. Cancer is too big an industry to even make a dent to those crooked people.

The difference between assertive and aggressive, as accepted by society, is gender

I am sorry that happened to you. You are not alone. So many women have similar stories.

Alright, let's get this much straight. I'm from the USA, I've never left the country. I've lived in the same state my whole life and haven't left it in the last three years. Even so, I know that other countries have got things under much better control than us. The way the system was set up means those people you hate are the ones that get famous. We all focus on the bad, not the millions of people who desperately wish they could change the country for the better. Every country has bad, every country has good, sure, America sucks in a lot of ways, and there are a lot of arseholish people with arseholish behavior, but that doesn't mean you can ignore everyone who wants to make things better. I've been ranting long enough, so let me boil it down to this. America can be bad, and it can have bad people. So can other countries. We are trying to change, and it hurts when people ignore that in favor of that small, angry group of people loudly shouting about staying the same. And that's that.
