DOUBLE STANDARDS

"A double standard is the application of different sets of principles for similar situations, or to different people in the same situation. A double standard may take the form of an instance in which certain concepts are perceived as acceptable to be applied by one group of people, but are considered unacceptable—taboo—when applied by another group."

Don't we all just hate double standards? Why is it okay for guys to play football, but unladylike for a female? Why is it that guys who sleep with multiple girls are cool, but girls who sleep with multiple guys are considered hoes? Why is it that guys are considered strong and females are considered weak? Why is it that guys can flirt with so many girls and it will be fine, but a girl who flirts a lot is said to be loose? Why are men considered the bread winners while woman are looked at as housewives? Why is it normal for a girl to be emotional, but I guy is considered soft when he is emotional? Why is it common for the guy to always pick up the tab, but its uncommon for a woman to do so? Why is it that in domestic cases women always seem to be sympathized with and men are not? Why can a woman put her hands on a man and expect the man to not hit her back? Why when a women hits a man it is fine, but if a man hits a women he's a bitch?

****at the end of the day, we are all human. Some of these standards should not even exist****
