I know, I know, this might make people mad and is probably very controversial, but I've been wondering what other people think because I have some that bother me, have a great day!

Smokers get smoke breaks non-smokers get fewer breaks. If a smoker gets upset it's a nic-fit and acceptable by coworkers, if a non- smoker gets upset then they are thoroughly out of line. Why does actively not harming yourself mean that you get fewer benefits and less of a pass?

I'm sure there are, or will be at least a few posts of double standards between men and women, which goes both ways. Women are expected to be the “care givers” to their children and men are “applauded” for raising their children. Women painting nails and/or makeup is okay but not when men do it. Women are expected to cover up, while men without a shirt is acceptable. It’s natural for men to get angry and answer back on being insulted. But for women, it’s “over reaction”.
There's a prevailing attitude that it is comical when a woman commits violence against a man, but it's abuse if a man hits a woman, (even in self defense). Women are expected to be the “care givers” to their children and men are “applauded” for raising their children. Women can express their feelings, and cry but men aren't considered 'men' if they do the same. There are so many, too many examples. This post would have chapters if I kept going. Of course there are differences between the sexes, but we're all still human and deserve to be treated equally.

How I can’t have a bad day but everyone around me can act like an a*****e just because their life is *slightly* worse than mine
(b***h you can’t scale your experience as a human being to one another)

The political right fighting and funding anti-abortion, but then refusing to support mother and child after the unwanted child is born. Also those protesters saying that the unborn babies can be adopted, whilst refusing to acknowledge the already ever growing population of children in the adoption system!

If someone slaves their life away working at a computer, they're a good member of society, but if you spend two hours on the computer playing games, you're lazy..

How people consider it disrespectful to not give a two weeks notice, but employers can fire you on the spot for doing so and nobody screams at them about respect.

High intelligence/gifted physical skills/multiple areas of competence/ sound leadership and wisdom development. If you have these and you're a man, then mainstream men and women admire you. If you have these and you're a woman, the nastiness from mainstream men and women never ends.

If a woman wears clothing covering only the bare minimum it's ✨female empowerment✨ if a woman CHOOSES to wear the Hijab, she's ✨oppressed✨. Like oh, oh no! Men really hate seeing our boobs and a*s so they told us to cover it all up🤡.
CONSPIRACY THEORY: Men came up with the saying "I can wear whatever I want" to force girls to wear clothes as such (even if they're uncomfortable) because they wanted to see their bodies.
Muslim women, hijabis and non-hijabis, we are all empowered just as much as any of you. Our men (Muslim men) think of us as the gem of the family. I mean, if I came into your house and asked you where your money was, would you tell me? I doubt it. The same applies here. Muslim women shouldn't have to constantly fear having our Hijab thrown off in public. That shouldn't be a thing. There are so many other cultures that enourage women to cover their hair and yet, the only people harrassed for doing so, are Muslims. The double standards here enrage me as a Muslim hijabi woman myself.
Sorry if I came on too strong hahah I just feel really strongly about this topic and I think it needs more awareness.😊❤️

Men cannot be victims of sexual abuse. That one enrages me. Imagine being traumatized from an incident that happened to you when you were a kid, and someone says "well, actually, men cannot be victims of sexual assault, and women can't be assailants".

Double standards towards people who are poor and those who are not. I just read that in Britain since 2013 only seven businesses have been convicted of corporate fraud whilst 5000 times that many people have been charged over benefits fraud.

A retail worker at grocery stores or drugstores being considered essential during a pandemic, they not able to work from home like most but still never got any of the benefits of "essential workers" (ie. Temp pay increases, first round of vaccine releases, benefits at other locations like an opportunity to shop earlier or a discount for being essential. )

Nipples!
Why is ok to display a man's hairy nipples in public but not a woman's?
I mean, at least hers are functional, mine do nothing and serve no purpose other than telling me when a cold wind blows.

Social, political, economic and religious disadvantages disempowering and disrespecting women as opposed to men. For instance, women get called all kinds of nasty names and can be punished by the law for sexual behaviours. Women are called whores, sluts, bitches and so on - where is the same blame game for men? Women are not "prey animals" either nor should they have blame shifted onto them for the decisions and actions of men. For another - where is the economic (eg equality of pay) and fair political representation that we all deserve? The responsibilities of creating a decent and humane society rest with ALL genders.

People with kids can leave early, not work overtime or miss days of work because of their kids but people without kids are expected to give more for work because they supposedly have more time and less responsibilities.

Being a woman without a kid I constantly get compared to women with kids by employers. "Well so in so didn't never asked for a raise and they have 2 kids, etc." My husband is a man without kids, he never gets compared to men with kids by his bosses. His conduct or choices are rightly compared to his alone past work.

Sports. Men's uniforms are "normal." Women's uniforms are as skimpy as they can make'em. Men, in the same sport, soccer for instance, and basketball, get paid more than women.

If a lower tier coworkers has a good idea for how to improve the work environment they get told to just do their jobs. If a manager(not even terribly high tier) has the exact same idea (or better yet snipes and pitches that co-worker's idea to literallythe same person)... genius deserving of a mention in the newsletter, a raise and a promotion.

In the UK, (and I may be unpopular here) the BBC and most Media groups are English Biased, my country Scotland is treated like a region of England and gets its own little offshoot programme after the main news, same as Yorkshire, Midlands, south England do. I'm not Anti English, I'm aware that the whole news is also London centric too as if no other Cities in England matter as much as the Capital. and as for sports coverage, Don't get me started. If you don't like Cricket, then tough...it frequently is the lead story on the news, because England play it. Mass shooting in a school? Unemployment at an all time high? details right after the England V Australia match report
English 4th division cup games between the likes of Barnsley and Seaweed united get shown live on BBC1 while up in Scotland, we get no live games at all but have to wait until the wee small hours on a Sunday night to see highlights of the top games. (The latter point is probably out with the BBCs control since the Scottish football associations unholy greed made them bid to the satellite channels for live coverage but i needed a rant...sorry). :)
