No matter how many times we claim to be modern double standards still exist!

#1

Governments are quick to prosecute the 'normal' people for all kinds of monetary fraud but cast a blind eye to large corporations who avoid tax on an industrial scale.

When a woman accuses a man of domestic abuse:
Society: OMG, that's terrible, kick him out, go to a refuge, leave him, go to a group, call the police, scumbag
When a man accuses a woman of domestic abuse:
Society: man up

That people find it "cute" when an adult woman, barely dressed, in a suggestive manner kiss a little kid. People even make comments like "lucky boy!". But when it's the other way around (a half naked man, in a suggestive manner kissing a little girl) everyone's against it.
Let's clarify it, it's wrong in both ends. Little kids shouldn't be put out in a sexualised spotlights.

Guys can go get a vasectomy at an early age to not have children, but I am going to be 40 on Sunday, have had three children ranging from 15-20 and have multiple female issues and am a high risk for uterine, cervical and ovarian cancer and insurance may deny me to have a hysterectomy because I haven't tried "birth control" yet. Ummm I can't have kids my tubes were tied after my last baby because it would've literally killed me and the baby had I gotten pregnant again. So let me just rip out the plumbing to feel better, there's no reason to have a cycle every month to prepare my body for a baby I'm never going to have.

If a man is clear on what he wants and advocates for himself he is goal oriented or confident. If a woman does, she is a b#tch.

When a father takes care of his child-
society: " Awww! Look at him! So cute, he is such a great dad!"
When a mother takes care of her child-
society: *ignores* ( because, you know, women are born to look after kids)

When people say "You're too young to be gay" but that also means you're too young to be straight also.

Normal people committing a crime get the full punishment. Famous sports people, politicians, or rich businessmen get completely let off, or at most receive a warning.
Now take that same set of people and apply it to anything and you'll find another double standard.

LGBTQ+ people can't marry, while heterosexual people can do that and divorce each other, all while spouting some BS about saving the nuclear family and family values. (In my country)

Feminine hygiene products can be really expensive, while condoms are easy to get for free. Periods are not a choice; sex is. Stop making women pay for having healthy bodies.

As the female singer in the band: When guys sing of sex and love then it's just a song. When I sing it, every guy in the room thinks I'm inviting them backstage (I try to NOT even make eye contact -- don't want to give them a signal). The Heart gals said the same thing. Every time Ann sang Magic Man, she said EVERY man pointed to himself.
