Hey Pandas, What Are Some Of The Double Standards In Society That Annoy You? (Closed)

Women are by default a good parent where the father is always considered inept or unable to raise a child. Many courts grant full custody to the mother even after the child asks to go with their dad, the mother has a criminal record, or even when the child says the mothers boyfriend is abusing them. It’s sad.

Gay people can't adopt, but heterosexual people can disown their children. (In my country)

POCKETS POCKETS POCKETS POCKETS. I have exactly one pair of pants with pockets and they are the tiny kind that I can't fit my phone in, and the side pockets are sewn up. I just want to be able to hold my keys and some chapstick! Is that too much to ask?

When women are required to wear dresses.
Excuse me? I don't own any. Not going to happen. That is absolutely discrimination.
I don't wear women's clothing at all. Except a bathing suit. Not much choice there.

Society to men: Go ahead! take your shirt off and show us your hairy body and caterpillar mustache.

Society to women: EW- you have body hair?!?! you don't shave your legs?!?! You're not even wearing a bra?!?! You're disgusting.

Me: Body positivity, people!!! Equality!! Ya don't need to shave if you don't want to!!! Get over it, society!!!

Shoes! Men usually wear practical shoes. Women, not so much. I think it's getting better, but maybe it's just my hitting an age where I value comfort over style. No more heels for me.

Kind of obvious, but the double standards on clothing are absurd. Men all but exclusively get "cool" and "rough" clothes, women all but exclusively get "cute" and "sexy" clothes, the gents get all the pockets, the ladies get all the open-bottom lower attire (ie. skirts, dresses, etc.). Can't we all just wear what we want?

If a poor person commits a crime, it's "Lock them up and throw away they key", if they're young they're tried as an adult, they get a long sentence and have to spend their lives with the label of "ex-con".

If a rich person commits a crime, it's no charges beyond a misdemeanor filed by the DA, or if they're young it's "... mustn't ruin their future", they get a suspended sentences, dainty little slaps on the wrist that don't count against them in the future.

There's one law for the rich in this country and another for the poor.

That every black South African is uneducated. That every white South African is racist. We have smart, good SA people that care about one another, teaching & caring for each other, regardless of skin colour, people that are friends, family, coworkers… When was the last time you did something nice for a stranger? Be the change you want to see in the world. ❤️

Guys can be gamers, but when girls game, a lot of the time they get "GIIRLLLL GAMMERRRRR" or sexualized or etc. Oh, don't forget about the "Go back to the kitchen!"

1. If there is a disaster befall upon my country's area that is inhibited by peoples of minority religion, some people from majority religion will said that it is a punishment from God for those peoples because they have a heretic believes (which actually means having a different religion from majority), and refuses to help them in any way, be it a donation, or even a moral support...

2. If there is a disaster befall upon my country's area that is inhibited by peoples of majority religion, the same group of peoples from previous description will said that it is just a "test" from God and urge people to help them...

3. If there is a miracle (somethign that defy our current scientific logic, and occasionally happened) that is attributed to minority religion, some people from majority religion will scorn it and said that it is the works of devil...

4. If there is a miracle that is attributed to majority religion, the same group of peoples from previous description will said that it is the works of their God...

The legality of nipples being shown, women vs men.

If a women is fat it’s hideous. If a man is fat it’s a “dad bod” and its “hot”

Not sure if this is a double standard but YOUNGER SIBLINGS.
Say I bite my MS (middle sister), at 8 I would be scolded and not allowed to leave my room until dinner and I would owe MS an apology and one job.

If LS (little sister) bit MS at 8, she would be admonished then let off the hook.

SO FRUSTRATING and teaches LS and MS they can get away with anything.

That it's acceptable for a woman to wear a shirt without sleeves as business attire and if a guy does it he's a Hill Billy.

When a man is spending time with his kids it's "babysitting", but when it woman not a big deal.

Teen moms are ridiculed and alienated, no matter how good they've become as mothers. But teen dads are either excused for running or patted on the back for contributing and doing the bare minimum.

I have actually heard women say they would "rather have a boy so then I don't have to worry about him coming home pregnant." These parents are part of the problem. Teach your young men how to be fathers. Doesn't mean you have to encourage bad relationships to stick together, but at least teach your sons to step up to the plate when they've hit a big change of responsibility they need to focus on.

There are no "Men's shelters" for the suddenly single men escaping an abusive relationship.

Media doing stories on body positivity and then only publish pictures of skinny models.
