Double Standards: Men vs. Women

There are many double standards that favor men, such as bigger pay for doing the same job, and him being a player if he sleeps around alot, and a girl being a slut.

And rap music, previously hair metal, had shown it off, and yet the girls love it. I personally don't like most rap, love the metal, but still, if it does this, why do you support it??

I don't get it

I recieved a copy paste of a Gene Simmons article of what he wrote. Sooo... I cant' cite this source.

Gene Simmons on Double Standards And Hypocrisy.
Gene Simmons of the rock band KISS, asks that men fully think about marriage instead of leaping into the dark. What one person does is up to them but he urges people to really understand the financial ramifications of what they are getting into.

“Let’s face it, just because I stick out my tongue a lot and spit fire doesn’t mean I have any qualifications to advise anyone on relationship, money or career issues. I don’t. Yet I’ve lived with a beautiful woman for twenty years with never a cross word between us, in a relationship based on honesty and full disclosure. I’ve amassed a fortune-and `expert business people’ work for me. And for three decades I’ve been in KISS- a band that has scaled the heights and broken every possible record, from album sales to touring to merchandising and licensing.”

In this posting, Gene touches upon some double standards and hypocrisy men face in today’s world with women. Now onto some words of wisdom as spoken by Gene Simmons:

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race you’re a male chauvinist pig.

If you stay at home and do the housework, you’re a pansy.

If you work too hard, there never is time for her. If you don’t work enough, you’re a good for nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, it’s exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your rear and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her, it’s favoritism. If she gets a job ahead of you, it’s equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks, it’s sexual harassment. If you keep quiet its male indifference.

If you cry, you’re a wimp. If you don’t, you’re insensitive.

If you make a decision without consulting her, you’re a chauvinist. If she makes a decision without consulting you, she’s a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn’t enjoy, that’s domination. If she asks you, it’s a favor.

If you appreciate the female form, and frilly underwear, you are a pervert. If you don’t, you’re gay.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape, you’re sexist. If you don’t you’re unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape, you’re vain. If you don’t, you’re a slob.

If you buy her flowers, you’re after something. If you don’t, you’re not thoughtful.

If you’re proud of your achievements, you’re full of yourself. If you’re not, you have no ambition.

If you want it too often, you’re oversexed. If you don’t you’re gay.

from my own personal thoughts

1. Why is it that when I'M 18, I have to fill out the selective service card to be drafted and women don't?
I have fibromyalgia, which is far worse than laziness. It's arthritis in your muscles with a whole slew of horrible side effects, and no cure. its whats kept me from doing sports since 7th grade. But guess what? I might get drafted into anywhere in the army, but if a girl who does all these sports and can bench twice of what I can doesn't, isn't that unfair?

Yes, it is unfair. Thanks for nothing.

Whats wrong with women being in the service like me? Nothing. I would be doing paperwork and computer crap, or non-front line duty; what's wrong with women doing that?

Nothing. Feminists and and some librals will petition for equal rights as long as it BENEFITS THEM. Not for TOTAL EQUAL TREATMENT. Hypocrites, I hate this.

2. Why are there all these emails circulating about how a guy should treat a girl?
You chose to date a pig. Deal with it. I'm a nice guy, but do i get a girlfriend whenever? no. girls don't want nice guys, they want dirtbags to treat them bad, and try to make them "good" to their standards. I'm not looking for a girlfriend by writing this; I'm saying, "good job idiot". You apparently got what you wanted. Stop lying and live with it.

Why do other guys have to live up to their standards to begin with? I'm a romantic, I'm a gentlemen. I don't see emails going around about what guys want girls to do for them. And knowing alot of guys, it would begin and end with kinky sex.

maddox has it right:

"I know there are SOME out there that do.. the ratio of honest girls that want nice guys to sleazy girls that are in it for money and sex is very small, if not non-existent. However, I won't consider this possibility at this time.

Almost every guy that goes to a club goes there for one reason: ass. More often than not, they get it. Way to go champ, you got laid, now wipe off the disease and try your luck again. That's all they want and girls aren't so stupid as to not realize this, but they want to make it sound like they're perpetual victims that can't find the elusive "nice guy." Why don't you actually TRY LOOKING for one, you moron? That's like a guy trying to find a "nice girl" by cruising the streets downtown. You tread the grounds of prostitutes, so don't complain that all you have to show for it is a yield of whores.

I'm so sick and tired of girls giving the false impression that they want a nice guy; this is only true for women in their 30's that have already spent a decade getting their brains screwed out and now they're finally pulling their heads out of their [butt] and they're looking for a decent guy to settle down with. It's not going to happen moron, you blew your chance. I see girls fall for bad guys every day. I see girls abused, cheated on and insulted in public ALL THE TIME. What the hell is wrong with them? They think that there's something wild and untamable about bad guys that's attractive? WAKE UP. WAKE UP. You're getting abused, hurt, murdered and taken advantage of. Holy [crap], how can people be so stupid? Is there no end to the barrel of stupid they drink from? "

3. "I think you're really cool, let's hang out some time..."

Lie. This one translates to "I have no intention of calling you or hanging out with you, but I'm too much of a coward to tell you the truth, so I'll lead you on for a couple of weeks while you put your life on hold for me in case I actually stop being the indecisive whore that I am and I give you a straight answer." Like I don't have anything better to do than to sit around and wait for you to call me.

This has happened soo many times, that the word "so" would have to have at least thirty o's. That quote was also from maddox, It's true, and here's a tip: If you give me your number, msn, e-mail address, whatever, answer the phone/pm/message and make time to hang out. If not, just don't lie to my face.

4. Pretty girls have it harder than any others
They not only are made fun of, they have to keep the looks, the charm, and are constantly pressured into sex and all sorts of bad things. They are expected to be pretty, and are always put up on a pedestal, and treated so well, but yet trash talked and treated so horribly in return!

I've seen it happen. I'm good friends with girls who end up like that. It's natural.

My rant is over. I'm not a chauvinist, I love girls; alot. But sometimes, things can get depressing. I don't like all the crap women have to go through either, and I'd hate to have to go through menopause, random cramps, pregnancy, periods, guys treating you like a sex object, etc.

If you don't agree, post why
