Nothing stirs up indignation quite like the presence of double standards. These inconsistent principles, often influenced by social, cultural, and gender biases, continue to play a divisive role in our interactions and expectations. Be prepared for an eye-opening dive into the hypocritical norms and standards that persist in our supposedly advanced and enlightened society. Brace yourselves as we unmask the realities of these social paradoxes that are bound to ignite your sense of justice.
Corporate Loyalty
“Companies expect you to be loyal to them while showing no return. Loyalty is a two-way street. If I find a better job and give you the appropriate number of weeks’ notice, you can’t complain, especially since you can get rid of me for any reason.”
Workplace Favoritism
“Either the person who does pretty much nothing gets away with it constantly, but everyone else is watched like a hawk, or when the person who never calls in sick does just ONCE and it’s a whole thing as if they’re lying.” “You can do 99 things right and will always be criticized for the one thing you did wrong. But someone who did 99 things wrong will always be praised for the one thing they did right.”
Parenting Facilities
“As a new parent, it really bothers me when only the ladies room has those baby changing stations. Dads need to change poopy diapers too!”
Pollution
“The double standard that your average person creates a huge wave of waste in their path when in reality most pollution is created by factories funded by the same places that push those narratives.” “That we can make a difference recycling… when over half the stuff we are given to recycle can’t even be recycled….”
Challenges within Home Relationships
“I suffer from PTSD due to mental abuse from my ex-wife. I mentioned it one time and was told to ‘Man up. Women can’t abuse men.’. So, now, no one knows.” “My brother was horribly abused by his ex wife, but she never hit him. It was all psychological, emotional, and financial abuse. It’s still abuse, though, and it doesn’t get talked about enough.”
Anything Politics-Related
“Just about everything with politics.” “The unofficial stance of approximately every political faction about most misbehavior is: ‘It’s fine when we do it, but inexcusably horrible when they do it.’”
COVID Work Rules
“Still going to go with the “ESSENTIAL” workers versus the “NON-ESSENTIAL” ones.” “They praised the “essential workers” with a pat on the back while giving themselves $50k bonuses for their ultimately worthless jobs. (Looking at you, big tech).”
Office Politics
“If I show up 5 minutes late to work, I’m bad at my job and need “corrective” measures. I work 15 minutes past the end of the day and I’m simply a good worker doing their job as expected.”
Parenting Double Standards
“Dad stays home with children so mom can work or go out for fun. He’s babysitting. Reverse the roles with mom staying home & dad working or going out, she’s doing her job.”
Racism
“People of color can’t be racist. They can be.” “Or that white people can’t know racism. Coming from living in Tokyo for years, this cracks me up.”
Single Men Stigma
“When I wanted to adopt a cat at the beginning of Corona, I was told point blank that they don’t adopt out to single men. No mention of this on the shelter’s website, or when I showed up to fill out paperwork to get on the waiting list. And it didn’t matter that I met every requirement that was listed on their website, just straight up nope to all single men.”
Rules Around Quitting/Being Fired
“I want to quit? I need to give two weeks’ notice. They want to fire me? Out the door.”
Introvert/Extravert
“Socially acceptable to tell introverts to talk more. Socially unacceptable to tell extroverts to shut up for once.”
Wages
“If you steal $20 out of the till, your boss calls the cops, and your ass goes to jail. If your boss shorts your paycheck by $200, you can file a report to your state labor agency or drag your boss to court in your free time, but there’s absolutely no one you can call to get their ass thrown in jail for stealing your time & money.”
Women Can’t Be Sexist
“My female opinion: women can record and ogle men, and everyone thinks it’s okay, and many will jump on board, but if that same man were to do it to that woman, it would be creepy and invasive.”
Interacting with Kids
“Woman interacting with random kid = nice lady looking out for the sweet child. Man interacting with random kid = *********.”
Only Women Can Get SA
“That only women get SA. When I said that I had an abuser, I was told that I was a liar and just attention-seeking. By my psychiatrist. Needless to say, I got a new psychiatrist.”
Workplace Aggression
“Men can be aggressive and yell at work, but if a woman does it, she needs to be more civil.” “Honestly nobody should be aggressive and yell at work. I worked at Toys R US seasonally and the manager would constantly yell at people and even throw things.”
Body Count
“The body count double standard. A man sleeps with a lot of women. He’s a stud. A woman sleeps with many men. She’s a ****.”
Not Wanting Kids
“Single women over 30 without children: selfish, yikes, probably something wrong with her, spinster. Single men over 30 without children: probably focusing on his career, hasn’t found the right woman yet.”
