I understand that,but then again where is the line blurred when all that was made up due to social construction and conditioning? People tend to overlook that societal roles have advanced,progressed, or changed when to it comes to gender. That is what I meant by how double standards can be outdated but some just want to stick to them for their own agendas.Originally Posted by Peep Game
If you are asking should we eliminate or accept the differences between a male and a female, that could go a whole different route. I told you I'm all for equality and everything, cause I feel both males and females should be able to make their own rightful decisions about things, but I thought men actually liked to feel like men, and women liked to feel like women? There's a difference between common courtship and standard roles (double standards or not), and what amounts to being no difference at all between men and women. If you eliminate the differences, you're basically eliminating the purpose. If you accept the differences (within reason), then everything's all good. What is perceived as the "norm" isn't oppression or being chauvinist. That gets thrown around way too much.
Some of the same men in here implying that there are double standards when it comes to sex and women shouldn't carry condoms and if she does that makes her a ho, are some of the same ones in those NT threads talking about hell no way I will be paying on the first date and that as a grown ++$ woman, she should be paying her own bill. Then they get on women for expecting traditional courtship. They just pick and choose which double standards they want to uphold for their own intentions.
