Somebody Just Asked People To Post Examples Of Double Standards, And 45 Responses Were Spot-On

You have to respect the company you work for. You can never be late, never question anything and do an exceptional job every day. You must give multiple weeks notice before taking any holidays or quitting. But if the company decides that they’ve had enough of you, well, you could be unemployed at a moment’s notice!

It’s 2024, and it would be great to believe that society is finally fair and equal. But that would be far from the truth. There are still plenty of frustrating double standards affecting us all, so Redditors have recently been calling out the ones they’re tired of. Below, you’ll find a list of double standards that people no longer want to accept, so enjoy reading through and be sure to upvote the inequalities you can’t stand either!

Somebody Just Asked People To Post Examples Of Double Standards, And 45 Responses Were Spot-On I saw a post on a Facebook group I'm in recently. It was a selfie of a mother with her little boy in the backseat eating a pudding cup with no spoon and she had captioned it "making sure he's making his future girlfriends happy" or something along those lines.
I was disgusted by it, my boyfriend laughed. He tried to tell me I was being stuck up and a prude about it. I asked him if I was a father posting a picture of his daughter eating a popsicle and captioned it similar about making future boyfriends happy would you feel the same way? He looked like I slapped him in his face but he instantly got what I was saying.
Sexualizing children in any capacity is gross af and it even happens to little boys. People just need to do better and let kids simply be kids without putting sexual undertones to it. So f*****g weird.

Somebody Just Asked People To Post Examples Of Double Standards, And 45 Responses Were Spot-On Being a morning person and getting up early to get a bunch of stuff done, then going to bed early, is considered virtuous and mature. Being a night person and staying up late to get stuff done, then sleeping late the next day, is considered disorganized and lazy. Even if you did the same amount of work and slept the same number of hours.

I have colleagues who work 6am to 3pm, and people constantly chirp about how efficient they are. But when someone at my office asked if they could work 11 am to 8 pm because that fit better with their body’s energy cycle, they were mocked for wanting to oversleep like a teenager, and the request was denied.

Somebody Just Asked People To Post Examples Of Double Standards, And 45 Responses Were Spot-On I solely raised my daughter as a single father from the time she was a year old until she was almost six when I married my wife. The number of people who have asked about my daughter's mother just to reply with "Oh, she must have had PPD." or "There must be a mental illness involved." or "Maybe she will come around in a few years." is absolutely staggering. Like no man, she just decided she wanted to go party instead of being a mom to our child. No child support. No financial or emotional contribution. Nothing. Hell, I couldn't even get a copy of my daughter's health insurance card when her old one expired because "I wasn't on the paperwork" despite the fact that I was the one who filled out the paperwork for it at the hospital the day after she was born.

It's infuriating knowing full well that had the roles been reversed, and I'd have been the one to leave, I'd 100% instantly be considered a deadbeat father.

Somebody Just Asked People To Post Examples Of Double Standards, And 45 Responses Were Spot-On We live in an extroverts world.

In many Western cultures, being outgoing, sociable, and outspoken is often celebrated and encouraged. It's seen as the norm to want to chat, network, and be the life of the party. But when it comes to introverts who may crave quiet, solitude, or just less social interaction, the script flips.

It’s socially acceptable to nudge the quiet person in the room and say, "Why don't you talk more?" But imagine telling a chatty person, "Can you be quiet for a bit?" It would be considered rude or offensive.

This double standard underscores a deeper societal bias towards extroversion. The noise and buzz of constant interaction are often valued more than the quiet, reflective spaces introverts thrive in. It's like we're saying one way of interacting with the world is better than the other, when in reality, both have their strengths and should be equally respected. In a world that can't stop talking, sometimes we forget the power of silence and introspection. - An extroverted introvert.

Somebody Just Asked People To Post Examples Of Double Standards, And 45 Responses Were Spot-On The double standard between women, especially teenage girls, being fans of things, and men being fans of things.

It’s deemed as somewhat normal and almost to be expected than men go absolutely mental over sport, especially things like football, to the point that when there are football games on the local police are usually on standby to deal with the riots and fights that usually happen. And that’s just kind of seen as part of it and to be expected and is just people being passionate.

On the other hand, if you get a group of teenage girls getting a bit excited over like, idk, a BTS concert or a Taylor Swift show or something, suddenly that’s deemed weird and stupid and they get dragged for it.

It’s literally the same thing. The latter is also far less disruptive yet is the thing that is always demonised. It’s not a new thing either it goes back as far as like The Beatles and Elvis where it was just passed off as ‘ridiculous hysteria” meanwhile you’ve got a brexit geezer going absolutely feral because Manchester United lost.

Lowkey pisses me off a lot that anything women and teenage girls like is demonised yet things like sport get a free pass.

A lot of things teen boys like is deemed immature as well, but less people seem to deem it that way, compared to girls. The ones that deem both immature are usually some out of touch old person deeming anything any other generation does "insignificant". But yes, it really is a problem, and girls should not have their like demonized, being called stupid while people make death threats to fans of other teams in sports. (Edit: So apparently saying neither boys or girls should be judged on their likes is bad? I have 2 downvotes as of now.)

It's worse, because men tend to react violently in a tribal surrounding like a football match. How it is accepted by society that you need police to control the crowd at a sports event when it is down to hooliganism, is beyond me. You can have just as many people gathered to a concert with only a token representation of the police when you'd have a full squadron of riot police for a 3rd tier football match.

I've seen this before but it's not entirely accurate. There are subtle differences between the two types of fandom. A lot of it is specific to fans of a broad spectrum thing like a "team" or "sport" vs fans of a specific individual and the influence they have over you. There's a lot of nuance in there. There's nothing wrong with either in moderation. But I would say that rabid fandom of any sort is a little too much. It shouldn't become your way of life the way both sets of fans let it. It's inherently dangerous for your mental health. I don't care how much of fan you are or of what. If you p**s yourself in excitement, you may need serious help.

I think this is true, but only to an extent (in regards to the conclusions this post goes to). Obsessively following something is common, especially when young, and agree there is nothing different between a girl who goes to Taylor Swift concerts and has their room covered in posters of her, and a boy who goes to football matches and has his room covered in scarves, posters etc for his team. However the "mania" for the beetles, Elvis etc is something entirely different, that is an extreme fanaticism. If men stood outside of a hotel where their favourite football player was staying, screaming, crying and fainting, it would not be considered normal, they would absolutely be judged for it, and a lot worse for being a man doing it. And a football hooligan going on a rampage is only viewed as ok by other hooligans, society as a whole definitely views them as scum and criminals.

Horrific to be racist against a person of color. A person of color saying they can't be a racist against a Caucasian person because they are a person of color.

While it’s definitely noticed, it’s not like anything is actually being done about it so by practical standards it goes unnoticed.

Romance and love between straight people is perfectly fine and normal to depict in children's media, in fact many many Disney movies end with a princess kissing a prince, but if we show *any* hints at all that a character is gay that's *perverted* and *unacceptable* for children.

I think this is perpetuated by the media. When was the last time you saw a character with bipolar disorder living a normal life with a job and family instead of being a psychopath or murderer? Or someone with schizophrenia whose symptoms are managed with medication and only see what's actually there? Movies and TV shows do almost nothing to promote understanding and acceptance of severe mental illness.

One time a Man unfamiliar with our facility accidentally used the Boy’s locker room (instead of the Mens) to change before working out (middle of the day, no kids around because they’re in school) and everybody freaked the f**k out. (I 100% know it was an honest mistake. The guy was so embarrassed because of how the staff reacted.) While on the other hand - adult Women routinely used the Girls locker room because ‘it’s too crowded’ (or whatever the excuse, etc). This was allowed by management for a looong time. Finally got that policy enforced equally when I confronted it after we all had the implicit bias training…

Edit- probably file this under r/unpopularopinion, but someone asked - and it is what it is
To be clear, the policy was ‘Only adults accompanying young children that need assistance are allowed in the Youth locker rooms’

Any sports or concert events where the woman's room line is a mile long, women can use the stalls in the men's room and no one cares. If a guy went into a woman's room, he'd come out with a high heel in his a*s!

I often wonder who are these "people" that show these biases toward others, and how many of them are there? I mean if it's just a couple of losers pointing out other people's shortcomings, should I take that as an indictment against a specific group or characteristic?
