People Are Sharing What Double Standards Between Men And Women Annoy Them So Much, It’s Disgusting (50 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

Double standards are everywhere and they’re out in the open—you don’t even need a magnifying glass to spot them. Whether in real life or in media, we’re constantly bombarded with examples of how men and women are treated and portrayed differently even though we’re talking about the same thing.

Reddit user Meet_Me_In_Heaven asked their fellow redditors to share the most egregious examples of double standards that "disgust" them, so have a look below, and let us know what you think they say about the state of society in the 21st century, dear Readers. Upvote the double standards that you agree have no place in the modern world and share your own examples in the comments.

One crucial real-life issue and pervasive gender double standard that we’ve been hearing and writing about is that the Covid-19 pandemic disproportionally affects women. Not only have women been shown to be more at risk of losing their jobs during the lockdowns, but they also spend more unpaid time at home doing chores and taking care of family members. Even in developed countries, there’s still an expectation that women ought to do the lion’s share of the housework.

People Are Sharing What Double Standards Between Men And Women Annoy Them So Much, It's Disgusting (50 Pics) I'm a straight male. I went to a gay bar with some gay women and their straight married women friends. One of the straight women was being basically sexually harrassed by another gay woman there, to the point of being chased around the table, all the while saying she was married to a guy and she wanted nothing to do with it. The whole bar was laughing. If I did that to a woman in a regular bar, I'd get my ass kicked, thrown out, or arrested.

I'm almost 36 and been in a relationship for 6 years. If I wanted to have kids, I would have them by now. Still get asked when we'll finally have children by friends and family over and over again. Get treated like a villain for refusing to give children to my partner (who doesn't want to have kids either).

To learn more about the unequal distribution of housework and other tasks and what can be done to change it, Bored Panda reached out to relationship expert Dan Bacon, the founder of The Modern Man, who gave us some insights on what can be done to share the load. In short, he explained that communication, respect for each other’s choices, and mutual support are key to a healthy relationship. Especially during these difficult times.

ADVERTISEMENT

“Both a man and a woman should always show gratitude towards each other and from that, you will both feel happier about being loving towards each other because you know the other person appreciates what you are doing,” relationship expert Dan highlighted that thanking someone for taking the initiative with chores, instead of berating them for usually ‘not doing enough,’ yields far better results.

For Dan, it’s important not just what we say in relationships, but how we say it.

Relationship expert Dan gave an example where he heard from a man who was cleaning up the bathroom and found his wife complaining about how he was doing things. This led to an argument and the couple didn’t speak for a couple of days.

“He was very upset that she didn’t appreciate his proactive approach to helping out. All of that stress could have been avoided if she walked in and said something like, ‘Oh, thanks, honey. You’re cleaning the bathroom. That’s one less thing for me to do. Thank you.’ Then, if she wanted him to clean the bathroom the way she normally does it, she could ask, ‘Do you want to know how I get those stains out?’ or, ‘Do you want me to tell you some of the ways I do it that makes it easier?’ and if he then said yes, she could tell him,” Bacon gave some practical examples of effective communication.

ADVERTISEMENT

“If he said no and ended up causing damage to the bathroom for example (unlikely, of course) or not cleaning it properly, she could then talk to him about it and ask why he thought it turned out that way, after all the good effort he put in. He could then realize his mistake, feel supported by her and decide that he probably should have asked her how to do it first, or continued cleaning until he got it done right.”

According to Dan, by choosing not to attack our partners verbally for their ‘mistakes,’ we avoid making them go on the defensive. This reduces stress, helps maintain the relationship, and, in very practical terms, helps deal with the double standard of how housework is distributed.

“They remain in love. They feel supported, appreciated, respected and there is no need for an angry, resentful war to break out over little mistakes or errors. Of course, approaching conversations like that also applies to a man talking to his girlfriend or wife who is doing something around the house,” the expert pointed out that it goes both ways.

“For example, if his wife is doing more than normal around the house, a man should be supportive of her, appreciative and respectful, rather than just expecting that she should do it because she’s a woman. No one has to do anything in a relationship. It’s always a choice. This is why you should always come from a place of love and support, rather than in an angry, attacking way where you essentially become enemies who are trying to beat each other in a pointless, ‘I’m a better person than you’ war.”

While there are plenty of double standards out there, at least we’re better equipped to deal with one of them—sharing housework and other tasks during the pandemic through small changes in how we communicate and show gratitude.

And if perchance they are the lead, it's usually for comical reasons. Also, lead actresses are super skinny with super fat bff for comic relief, never the other way round. But where's the between? Average bodies that are neither skinny nor fat, with flabby tammies and saggy boobs are never portrayed even though more people could relate.

It is really sad. There are less and less men working with children because of this and peoples ideas that “men are bad”.

There are more good men than bad, it is just we hear more bad than good. These men are our husbands, fathers, children, friends etc, we need to stop tarring men with the same brush.

Even better was when I bought a pair of trousers in H&M, next year I had put on 5 kilos so I went for another pair of the same jeans, I fit perfectly into the same size. I now never bother looking at sizes, I just take a handful of trousers into the changing room and try them on till one fits. Even once with some Bear Grylls trousers, they were marketed as 104cm (perfect for me) when they arrived, they didn't fit. I measured them.. 98cms. This an industry problem more than women/men one.

Women are dismissed constantly and accused of trying to get on the gravy train of claiming compensation. This is even when the complaint was made at the time and disbelieved. I'm always shocked at women being complicit in this nonsense, I feel like they've been conditioned into believing it by those with a vested interest ie the perpetrators..

The one solution to this is for men and women to have the same amount of maternity leave and the same legal minimum time off. In Spain this year both men and women will get 4 month maternity/paternity leave. Now they need to add, for example, that both must leaglly take a minimum of 3 months each. Once this happens, the risk to the employer is the same for either sex so no preferences.

Also working in a library that is part of a large university: It‘s not quite as bad here, but one thing that drives me nuts: Our university has an 'equality' department. Yet, they only tend to women: They hold women-only university-wide meetings, they send emails to women about holiday camps for their children, they have a campaign against sexual abuse with a confidential email address - put only in women‘s bathrooms. So male workers have no children? Male workers/students face no abuse? I truly hate it from my guts. Pointed that injustice out to one of their members once. She told me women have it worse and that men don’t need anyone lobbying for them.

I hate how women can flaunt their curves and skin, but if a guy does it, he's either vain or a pervert.

This one isnt really true.. guys can flaunt their body while having their shirts off and is okay..but if a woman did it it would be nudity.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

This is an annoyance of mine: Reading comments on YouTube, if a guy tells a female creator they think she's hot he will get hounded for being a creep. However, I see females leaving the same type of comments on male creators videos by the heckload and no one bats and eyelid. I personally think that the thirsty comments should stop altogether.

Yup, I see this all the time with people thirsting over male creators saying they should grow a beard, wear this or that, or saying that they want to marry them and all kinds of crap. And they just have to deal with it and not say anything because they will get ridiculed if they do.

TV Advertising that treats all men as simpletons with their condescending wives needing to look after them because Men Are So Stupid and Women Are so Smart in Tv land

It is difficult for me to believe that men have an equal amount of problems regarding their gender as women do, because I enjoy gaming and see women take so much hate in that community. The young girls I have encountered on Instagram or TikTok or whatever, girls my age, are usually progressive and supportive of men being feminine and men being emotionally vulnerable, supportive of male rape victims and abuse victims, whereas guys hate on other guys being feminine more in my opinion. Also harassment / abuse happens a lot more to women, even though it should of course be recognized when it happens to men

A lot of this is based on people's personal experiences but doesn't necessarily reflect the way it is for everyone. Still worth mentioning though as we really need to change the "way it was" and more forward to better equality for all genders.

Some of these just seemed too personal rather than across the board, I wish age, location, time period was in there because some were seemingly connected to places, time and previous experiences from decades past.

The thing that I truly hate is that there is little to no support for men when we have PTSD/anxiety. Also, we are mocked, demeaned, looked down on because we have a mental illness.

I worked part time at Home Depot stocking shelves 7pm-1am. A older male co worker asked me why I was working instead of staying home with the kids. I told him because we needed the money and I like getting out of the house his response was can’t you watch other people’s kids to get money. It was ridiculous.

so many questions! location for this definitely matters. what kind of person is he? how old? what is his lifestyle? how long has he been working there? when do you report this? is race involved?

I'm probably too young to understand some of these. However, I think that as long as I live I will never understand why some people seem to think that males who do traditionally "feminine" things are homosexual. Could anyone here explain this to me?

It definitely happens to men, too. I am in an abusive relationship with a woman, and part of the PTSD I'm experiencing is from when my best friend (also a woman) raped me a little over 8 years ago. I am completely broken and will likely never trust anyone or have a healthy relationship ever again. I guess I should just 'man up,' eh?

I do agree that double standards exist, but I don't believe it's 100% everywhere, or that it's necessarily always 'the norm'. My hubby treats me like an equal, we share chores at home and nobody makes fun of us for it, male colleagues don't treat me any worse/better than female ones, etc. I have experienced bad treatment, of course, but it's easy to get mad about a few jerks and forget all the good people out there. But there ARE a lot of good, fair-minded people out there.

#50 is ridiculous. No matter how hot it gets, removing your shirt does almost nothing to cool you down. Also only douchebags go outside without a shirt on unless at the beach or swimming pool.

Also think about that you hardly ever saw men in commercials for laundry soap or baby diapers 15-20 years ago. And if a woman appeared in a commercial doing domestic chores, she'd always have a wedding ring on.
