[quote WiseOwlOne]@JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows i agree with you.
Removing double standards means v little when we are living in a world where:
Women still earn less
Women are smaller than men
Men are the ones perpetrating violence against both sexes
Women are the ones who give birth and are subjected to all of the vulnerability that entails
Women end up with more responsibility for dc
So mothers end up trapped and dependent
Women are objectifed, assaulted, harrassed
Men can on the other hand walk away if they choose to and often they do
Men can reduce their maintenance by increasing their pension contributions.
So, so cslled double standards on a forum primarily for women is not a huge worry of mine.[/quote]
Thank you for posting this. You are absolutely right. We will always be physically at a disadvantage. Men are very much aware of this and use it against us all the time. Yet, we are still required by men, and some women too, to always go:
"OMG, what about the poor, poor, men. Won't someone please think of them, because the whole world doesn't yet revolve around them as it is."
The biggest double standard is to require empathy of women at the expense of their efforts of fighting for their own rights, while giving men a pass and letting them have entire conversations about just their own woes.
