Double Standards

Treat all as your own self. Do not have a double standard.

~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba

There are numerous double standards for both men and women.
Since I am of the female species so I am automatically going to take the woman’s
side initially but both must be expressed in order to fully understand the
degree of devastation.

	Woman	Man
Scenario #1	If she asks a question, she is seen as nagging	If he asks a question, he is concerned about his lady
Scenario #2	Although I don’t agree with either but if a woman has multiple   partners, she’s a slut, a hoe, and loose	If a man has multiple partners, receives thumbs up from the boys.
Scenario #3	Didn’t hear something or forgot she is considered an idiot/brainless	Didn’t hear something or forgot, he is considered insensitive or a   jerk that doesn’t care about you
Scenario #4	Being an assertive woman is   considered domineering/pushy or for lack of better terms a bitch.	Being an assertive man gives   him reputation as a go-getter or for lack of better terms a boss.

We, as women, have come a long way. Women have gone from not being able to vote to getting
subjective or categorical jobs for women.
You know, stereotypical woman’s work. Double standards are evident in the
workplace. Women have worked relatively hard to own about 14% of corporate American’s
boardroom members. Despite those incredibly successful odds, they still make 76
cents to every dollar a man receives. That 24 cent difference makes it clear
that inequality still exists.

In higher positions, it is very tricky for women to portray
the forceful, direct and assertively effective speaking roles to simulate that good employee. Women who want to obtain
these employment statures have to fight stereotypes to be that good employee. In that quest, they risk
gaining a negative reputation.

Not my favorite subject but it must be talked about. Society
is an irrational bitch or is it boss?

“When
I am assertive, I’m a bitch. When a man is assertive,
he’s a boss. He [is] bossed up. No negative connotation behind ‘bossed up.’ But
lots of negative connotation behind being a bitch. Donald Trump can say, ‘You’re fired.’ Let Martha Stewart run her company the same way and be the same
way. [People will say] ‘f**king old evil bitch!’ But Donald Trump, he gets to

hang out with young bitches and have 50 different wives and just be cool. ‘Oh,
Donald, we love you, Donald Trump!’ ... When you’re a girl, you have to be
everything. You have to be dope at what you do but you have to be super sweet
and you have to be sexy and you have to be this, you have to be that, and you have
to be nice. It’s like, ‘I can’t be all those things at once. I’m a human
being.’”

—Nicki Minaj sounds off on the sexual double standard in
her MTV special, “My Time
Now.” [MTV]

Double standards will be around until the day we step up and
eliminate them. We fought about 300 years to gain that 14% representation.
Hopefully, it’ll only take us a couple more years to gain 36%. We’ve gotten as
far as an African American president, why can’t we give women their much needed
equality as well.
