Do you think most people uphold sexual double standards?

Like the stud vs slut double standard or pedo double standard. From my experience people don't really care if it's a woman or man, it's just a minority of people who care.

  • Often. Not out loud as much anymore, but if those kind of topics ever come up there's almost always the underlying assumption: male: want sex, dangerous; female: not want sex, vulnerable. Sure, they may believe a man can be raped too—but only by other men. Women may want sex—if what they really want is not sex but a father figure.

    That's mostly just people irl though. Online people I know, it's eh... they tend to have some double standards, but not others.

    I don't actually know anyone personally who I've talked to about things like this who doesn't have some sort of double standard. I even catch myself thinking in double standards sometimes. It's hard to get away from in day to day life—where I live anyway.

    • Ditto 😂 i couldn't have said it any better. Good comment bro

    • @big_ben_007 that must be a very close minded place where you live. Where I live I don't meet people like this. Most just say it is the same for everyone or if they disagree and have a double standard they keep it to themselves.

    • @big_ben_007 lol that reply wasn't to you, but @cheesemonster

  • Pedo has a legal definition, where shut or stud do not. Those two are also not fair comparisons since men and women have sex differently and for different reasons. An orange complaining an apple is too red to be an orange accomplishes nothing.

    • I am not comparing them. I am just saying if people uphold the double standards, they are two common double standards

    • What I'm getting at is. It's not a fair comparison. The Traits that survived evolutionary biology differ greatly between men and women. No matter how much Freidan or Steinhem disagree, men and women are different. The standards are different, not double.

    • Mate they are considered double standards by society. It's a literally definition in the dictionary for double standards. You are arguing against facts here. Your opinion doesn't change anything

  • Everybody holds some kind of sexual double standard, even those who complain about them.

    • How...

    • Well for example. most women who complain about the stud vs slut double standard argue that women should be free to sleep around as much as men do. Yet when you ask them, they don’t sleep around themselves, they don’t even want to. They also don’t want a man who sleeps or has slept around, they judge promiscuous men negatively in the same way the men they’re complaining about judge promiscuous women.

  • I think you are correct, it is a minority that upholds the sexual double standards.

    Most people could care less, they just recognize the person sleeps around a lot.

    • What about a pedo double standard

    • Does not matter if it is a woman or man pedo, it is still pretty sick.

    • Do you think most people think that way?

  • i think having different standards or different genders aren't "double standards". cause it's different standards for different things. not different standards for same things.

    • It's widely considered a double standard, so you are in the minority who think like this. They are considered double standards because treating people different based on gender is considered sexist in most places

    • if it would be as easy for men as to have a sexual partner as it is for women, then it would be a standard. but there's a VERY big difference, so the difference in standards is justified in my opinion. my opinion being a "minority opinion" is not an argument.

    • then it would be a double standard*

  • Of course its a double standard. Guys that do it are man-whores.

  • There's definitely a stud/slut double standard, but there's no pedo double standard. A child rapist is a criminal no matter where you go unless it's a Muslim majority country.

    • There are definitely some people who defend pedos depending on their gender though

    • The actual law will not defend pedos. Child sexual predators are hated even in jail by other criminals.

    • Not women

  • It’s okay for a guy to fuck around but not girls?

    • That's the double standard

    • I’m just asking because she said that makes it ok for a guy but if I do it I am a slut

    • Of course it is a double standard

  • Male peds get more slate then female peds

  • Not sure if it's most, but in my experience a lot of guys do hold to a double standard in both areas.

  • I've read many on here saying it's ok for women to sleep around but not men. It is dumb way to think.

    • Wtf I never heard of that

    • Also that some women like mfm but can't stand trying ffm cause she don't like him with another woman.

  • Get rid of double standard, make all things equal for male and female
