Double Standards

Anna Davenport @AnnaAutopsy (705) • United States 19 May 16

This is going to be a touchy subject, only because I'm probably going to make a few people here upset. But, I think I'm coming from a very sensible place when I say some women hold the highest double standard. Not all women do...

Aurone @Aurone (4755) • United States 26 Jul 10

A few days ago, I posted a discussion about if it was important for girls to learn housewife skills and so when I thought about it, I wondered about the reverse. If we expect both guys and girls to learn housewife skills, do we...

Since when did men become so useless.

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 5 Dec 09

It has always been a great belief of mine that if you need something fixing you get a man in. Men seem to be born knowing how to fix cupboard doors, poke around in car engines, sort out tap washers and all those incredibly tedious...

saffrondreams @saffrondreams (596) • Canada 15 Apr 09

Why is it more acceptable for girls to have typically "masculine" personality traits and clothes and for them to wear boyish clothing than the reverse? Most people would not take a second glance at a girl who was wearing a...
