30 Things That Nobody Bats An Eye About If It’s A Guy Doing It, But Loses Their Wits If It’s A Woman Doing It, As Listed By Folks Online

ADVERTISEMENT

No matter how much we talk about equality between men and women, oftentimes stressing how much has already been achieved over decades of hard work, it seems that there are a lot of things that still need to be done, and extensive changes implemented. The problem of double standards between men and women is not that hard to notice, especially in some common everyday life occurrences. Having this in mind, Reddit user @u/killywayx decided to ask people “What is something that is considered ‘normal’ for a man to do, but if a woman does it then they will receive backlash?”.

The question that received 30.5k upvotes and 15k answers showed that no matter how modern our society is, it is still full of old and entrenched behaviors. Some of the examples included things that are related to looks: women not being able to take off their t-shirt while for men it’s quite a normal thing to do, or having to constantly take care of body hair so you won’t be considered messy and neglectful, although for men, it’s not a problem. Some examples also touched upon social issues such as women who don’t want to have kids receiving quite a lot of backlash, whereas it becomes understandable when men don’t want a family. When it comes to career, women who are strong leaders and value proper work ethics are considered cold and emotionless, while men who have the same traits are seen as respectable bosses.

What are some of the things that you have noticed to be considered normal for men but don’t apply to women? Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below!

30 Things That Nobody Bats An Eye About If It’s A Guy Doing It, But Loses Their Wits If It’s A Woman Doing It, As Listed By Folks Online Not all of these will apply to everyone or every circumstance, but I think that most of these are fair.

1. Asking a guy out or asking a guy to marry you. It's seen as pushy or impatient and frowned upon.

2. Going hiking alone. People don't tend to raise their eyebrows at a man roughing it in the wilderness, but it's seen as reckless or dangerous if a girl does it.

3. Being assertive, standing up for yourself, and being confrontational. A lot of times it's seen as rude when it's seriously just somebody standing up for themselves.

4. Eating large portions of food. If a woman (even a skinny and fit one) is at an event she enjoys and fills a plate with junk food, it tends to raise a few eyebrows. It's considered unladylike. When a guy does it, it's viewed as normal and healthy appetite.

5. Dealing with grief. When a guy doesn't cry, it's stoic. When a woman doesn't cry, it's cold and unhealthy.

6. Caring little about appearance. If a guy goes a few days without shaving and has some stubble, it isn't frowned upon very much. If a girl goes without shaving her legs it's disgusting.

7. Masculime interests. A guy can like cars and video games and sports without question. But if a girl likes those things, it's "because she wants a guy" or "she's faking it" and she has to prove her worth and knowledge.

8. I know it's been said a lot, but sleeping around. It really is a very high double standard. It seems like the pressure is usually placed on women to be the defenders of sexuality. But sometimes we want to get down and dirty too. And I don't think anyone should be shamed for that -- male or female.

That said, I do think that men face a lot of backlash and hardships as well, especially for doing things that normal women do like being alone with children, having open emotions, caring about appearance a lot, etc. I do think women face backlash, even sometimes for behaving like a stereotypical woman (having strong emotions, wearing makeup, wanting to show some skin...) At the end of the day, a little bit of understanding goes a long way. :) Let's all be kind to everyone around us! :)

When a man is good with kids and/or wants kids some day, he is called "a catch" (you know, in combination with other good traits), meaning that the opposite (not being good with kids and/or not wanting kids some day) is common and normal, but not great.

A woman who does not want kids or is awkward with kids is seen with an unkind eye.

How about failure for either.

32points

StrangeOne 2 years ago

Why should it be a failure? Not being a primary parent doesn't mean not acting as a parent at all. Some parents take of their kids equally and there is no primary parent. Besides, all it means being a "primary caregiver" is the first to be contacted in emergencies and being called upon for other things involving the kid. It doesn't mean one parent is doing less parenting and not spending time with the kids.

For some, it might be the responsible choice. The world is complicated and so are people. Not everyone who has kids wanted them or is equipped to parent them. This will only get worse with abortions being outlawed in many countries *looking at you USA* *looking at you Poland*

My husband was retired medically. When we had our son I was working and came off on maternity leave. Went back to work when our son was 1 and my husband was praised as a an amazing dad. Now I'm not arguing he was amazing, but I worked a min of 8hrs a day at a stressful job and came home to take over for him so he could sleep. Then I was told I should work less, stay at home more and give my husband a break!!!!!

I so feel this one. My ex-husband is the primary caregiver for our now 17 year old daughter and always has been. He stayed home with her while I worked, until we had our second child, who had special needs. I was his primary caregiver. I've always felt "less than" because I am not the typical mother figure to her like her dad is. It's not a failure, she has a "mother", he just happens to have a penis. Because I chose to work and support my family doesn't make me any less. So infuriated that people treat others this way

Maybe this one is not so much about the "bad woman" vibe... From the babys perspektive the mother biologically us the one who can keep it alive. They are biologically connected both in the sense of breastfeeding and the skin-to-skin contact which is a very important factor in surveival and always has been.

1point

Kostas Tsen 2 years ago

I don't understand what "primary care giver" means exactly. Where i come from, a mother is the person that by definition represents child care and love, and this reflects on all aspects of law and society. The father on the other hand is demanded to compensate for his - unfairly attributed and often unrealistic - second place in loving his childer with financial support. And no matter the effort or result in any aspect, financial or personal, he will never be granted an equal status because he is "not the mama".

1point

StrangeOne 2 years ago

It's the parent, or person who's has the main responsibility for the child, and the person who deals with the schools and family doctor appts, and traditionally, has the kids living either all or most of the time with them. Schools and doctors normally automatically assume it's the mother, or female caregiver, who is deemed primary. Some Dads, who have equal or full custody of their kids will get told to relay messages to the Mother, or ask to speak with the Mother, totally ignoring the Dad.

When men date or marry a younger woman, people don't seem bothered at all, but my husband is 13 years younger than I am and people seem to think it's weird (I had one "friend" tell me to my face that it was creepy even though we are and have always been consenting adults).

You are either oblivious or really ignorant. And your arguments are very poor. Please educate yourself.

I don't see a problem with women doing any of these. Is this mainly America? Cos in the UK it seems we don't judge as much. Or maybe we do but we're too polite to actually say anything lol.

Can't say it fits my experience in most instances, to be honest. The only one that does is being asked about having children. Though it was being asked, I didn't actually feel judged. Though that might be me not caring that much about what others think... hard to know really!

I'm American but spent Time in the UK and Ireland and men seemed more openly sexist but less hateful about it.

I think the Brits are too polite to say but you guys think and feel all the same things Americans do. We’re just more open about it.

I think in the UK as in mnay nations, it depends on local subculture, family background, etc. In my hubby's fam (UK) it'd be a disgrace. but to the US branch of the family, no big deal if gender roles aren't "fit". Generation, too, plays a part.

liking the same gender. being gay is more often frowned upon no matter male or female, but sometimes lesbian relationships get sexualised. why? we just love the same gender

That's because men think women only exist for their pleasure.

Sleeping with casual hook ups. When a guy does it, he's a 'player' and admired. When a woman does it, she's a s**t.

These are nothing people haven't heard before. Now if you flip it, that would have been more interesting.

Living in Russia and if a man reacts angrily to something it is viewed very poorly. Specially in a working environment. Like, the only time I saw a guy yell in at work here, everyone reacted very judgmentaly about it and said he was acting childish and that it shows that he lacks respect in the company and is throwing tantrums to try to prove something but it is backfiring. Nobody finds it acceptable here. Had a PhD student yell at our group of students in class, cause he couldn't make them behave. Didn't have any more classes after that...
