A double standard by blogger Shaleen.

“Double standards aren't anti feminist,” according the author of the AskMen column “It’s a Man’s world,” Ian Lang. He calls double standards insipid logic, that bases the entire argument on general assumptions. His arguments has some depth but then again, he is also using general assumptions in his article “The Double Standard.” If anyone has read the column, you’ll know what I’m talking about. (I have added the link down below)


True, women and men are different but people are equal in value rather than size or quantity, which is what Ian Lang is arguing against. His point is trying to argue that women basically have it easy. If a woman want’s to go out and pick up a guy, she is giving him what he wanted in the first place. If a man went out and tried to pick up a woman, he would have to have “game” to even get a chance at sleeping with the girl. What I’m understanding is that women can’t go out and have sex with random strangers because men don’t have the capacity in many situations to say no. I beg to differ. Another situation this author has pointed out is that if a woman starts bragging about her sexcapades aka sexual escapade, she would be classified as a slut. I've been on this earth for a couple of years now, and I have heard many men do the same thing. Although, not once have I heard anyone call them sluts.


There is still a big double standard that women are not sexual creatures. Women are held to a certain extent. Women who have a lot of sex are tramps but a women who does not is a prude or virginal. It goes the same for men also, a man who have many female friends is a heart breaker and those who are the opposite are classified as geeky.
