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.

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.

Not really true at all, either of them. No, it's not OK to dislike cats like that; no. you're not branded as a sociopath just because you're not keen on dogs.

Well, it's certainly an exaggeration, but any time there's one of those "dating red flags" threads, someone always adds "doesn't like dogs" and there are strings of replies like "OMG this!! So true!"

Just because I don't like pets doesn't mean I am anti-animal. I like most animals, I just prefer to not have them stuck in my face or thrust onto my lap. I will ask you to leave your pet in the car if you come over with it (and all my friends know this) because my house is not "pet friendly" and I'm not redecorating for the few hours you are here. It's my house and I get to decide.

Well, not liking dogs is bizarre. Maybe they have a good reason, but on the face of it, it’s weird. But it’s so strange that some people have basically said you’re either a cat person or a dog person, nothing in between. No…most people who like dogs actually love cats, too (I know I do). And I’m sure there are some people with cats who also love dogs….I think.

Some people like dogs because they are codependent (do anything for you). The same people dislike cats because they'll walk, if they aren't treated right.

Dogs are bad for the local ecosystem, while cats can destroy local ecosystems. From a environmental standpoint, cats are worse than dogs. This comes from a farmer who losses a lot more when a dog gets into the chicken pen than when a cat does. Cats are also one of the main reasons for song bird deaths, and it is normal to let your cat out to run with no enclosure. One big problem I have with cat people is that they seem to think leash laws don't apply to their pets, whereas if a dog is not on a leash the owner get a fine and the dog may get killed. I DO NOT HATE CATS, I hate cat owners who are irresponsible. Note: Dog owners can be irresponsible too, but it is better prosecuted when it happens.

I think it's becoming a lot less socially acceptable to let your cat out of the house to just roam around, at least in some areas. I live near Fish Creek Park in Calgary (one of the 5 largest urban parks in Canada) and we have a ton of coyotes, and people will get very harshly judged and reprimanded for letting their cats out, and this attitude has changed a lot in the past 20 years or so. Not coincidentally, the songbird population has skyrocketed (so has the woodpecker population lol) and I now commonly see birds I had never seen before (like bluejays, prairie chickens, even ducks!)

I like both, but I'm more of a dog person. I don't distrust people who have an aversion to dogs though, because there could be a lot of reasons for it. They may have PTSD from being attacked or bitten by a dog, or they just prefer a pet that's easier maintenance. Dogs are a big responsibility and are more dependent than cats. Doesn't mean they're a bad person.

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’
