[[[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 GK 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 (Creator). 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,
