[[[Mafia]] member Vinny shoots a policewoman while fellow mobster Louie watches] |
Maybe it wouldn't bother me so much, dear Mary Sue, if it weren't for the double standard. If a young man were to punch you because he found you 'annoying', you would be horrified. Quite rightly. But the idea that anyone might be rightly horrified at YOU punching a man for annoying you appears to be so revolutionary it's hardly worth countenancing. No, it's utterly okay for a girl to punch a guy. It's cool. It, you suggest, can even be funny. But if a guy punches a girl, that's abuse. |
I remember an artistic and eager lady asking me in her grand green drawing-room whether I believed in comradeship between the sexes, and why not. I was driven back on offering the obvious and sincere answer "Because if I were to treat you for two minutes like a comrade you would turn me out of the house."
—What's Wrong With The World by G. K. Chesterton

Amanda: All I'm trying to say is that there are lots of things that a man can do and in society's eyes, it's all hunky-dory. A woman does the same thing--the same, mind you--and she's an outcast. |
True feminism means objectifying the other gender. Double standards, they're the best kind of empowerment!
—The Nostalgia Chick, deep in Sarcasm Mode.
|
I've made some notes, and it all boils down to "Mock a man, noone cares. Mock a woman, you're a sexist swine.
—Anonymous
|
That is a double standard! And not the good kind that benefits men.
|
The main difference between Trekkies and Manchester United fans is that Trekkies never trashed a train carriage. So why are the trekkies the social outcasts?
|
If these (Twilight's Periphery Demographic) were 40 year old men screaming for 17 year old girls, they'd be on To Catch A Predator so fast it would make your head spin.
—Anonymous
|
Obviously if you're watching a scene with a woman tied to a bed while a man forces sex on her, the final act of that movie will involve said man getting shot in the face by Bruce Willis. If, on the other hand, it's a man being tied down and forced into sex by a pretty lady, well, you're watching a wacky romantic comedy.
|
You just KNOW that if Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga were unknown artists, you'd be flamed for NOT liking them, not flamed FOR liking them,
—Anonymous
|
"Sexism exists in advertising, whether it's showing a lady's curves on some fat dude for a beer commercial, or someone's trying to sell you a toaster because your husband's pretty much retarded. See, there ya go; sexism in advertising. It's so commonplace I don't really think it matters."
—Philip DeFranco, on Dr. Pepper Ten's "It's Not for Women" slogan.
|
"Notice all the melon jokes, the bald jokes? I make one nose joke, it's OOOOOOOOHH!"
—Colin Mochrie, after being booed for making a joke about Ryan Stiles' nose, even though he himself gets skewered for being bald and/or Canadian all the time, Whose Line Is It Anyway (American edition)

Bobby: I just wanted to say you don't have to worry about me, 'cause I'm never gonna have sex. |
