In a fem-centric society it should really come as no shock that the feminine controls the meta-messaging in its own interests. As in politics and religion, when you are the controlling interest in the framing of any and all discourse, you preset the terms of any debate. Nowhere is this more evident than in women’s precognitive understanding of the infamous Double Standard.
Ask any woman for an example of a Double Standard and you’ll unfailingly get some iteration of the age old chestnut, “men are heroes for banging a lot of women, but women are sluts for banging a lot of men, agh, how unfair,..” This is always an easy, but ironic, target considering the current gender landscape. However, the reason it’s such a cliché is because it’s representative of the fem-centric standard of messaging. Women own the term Double Standard by default; any mention of a Double Standard and women will gleefully presume the term refers to them. Women’s feminine indignation need requires little prompting to satisfy.
With this in mind, it may come as a shock to most that there are far more applicable Double Standards for men than for women. You see, for any illegitimate cause to progress it must always accuse its rivals of the sins it commits itself. Double Standard? Women own it. Unfair judgement based on physical standards? Women own it. This is called ‘sowing disbelief’ – if your premise is weak, assume victimhood. Female default victimhood is nothing novel, however, feminine primary social engineering goes this one better by presupposing any male even hinting about claims to victim status is automatically disqualified from being a man.
The following comparative list was originally meant to be a humorous exposé of ‘true double standards’, but in its comedy it reveals the code in the Matrix. Enjoy!
The list is good. But don’t bet on getting any leverage debating this topic with women and their sycophants. It’s an exercise in futility.
However, when I hear ladies mention the sexual double standard, the best response is “Ladies, the reason why that particular standard exists is because being a Player takes work & effort, being a slut is extremely easy.” Usually that shuts them up.
Damn good list. Will save the image for future use.
Regarding guns. Yeah, you’re going to get women who say you’re a crazy gun nut, but don’t be fooled. Guns are hawt. They convey power, mystery, strength and a willingness to get the job done (obviously I am talking about educated gun users, not the jackass who waves one around for s**** and giggles). I don’t care how vehemently anti-gun a woman is, presented by a strong man, she will wilt (on the inside. On the outside she will likely fight you tooth and nail. What can I say, we’re women. 😉 )
Agreed…I love guns! Hmmm, going to the range with a date – that could be fun.
Going to the range on a date is one of my favorite activities. More than a few women have responded incredibly to having a gun in their hands. I gradually move the women up from a .32, thru a.38, .357, .44, and .45, then the latest addition to my collection – a Desert Eagle – a lot of women find that a bit much, but it has quite an impact to their psyche. As mentioned above, more than a few have been so turned on by the times we are leaving, that they practically jump me. Sometimes it takes a… Read more »

Not 100% on topic but yesterday I was waiting to get my oil changed and “Maury” was on the tv in the waiting room. I sat down just as Maury was scolding an older man for dating a younger woman “What in the WORLD could a 40 year old man possibly have in common with a 20 year old girl?” Next up, a 41 year old woman dating a 21 year old man. Guess who got roasted? If you guessed “the guy”, you would be correct. Apparently if you are an older guy dating a younger woman you’e a creeper,… Read more »
“What in the WORLD could a 40 year old man possibly have in common with a 20 year old girl?”
She likes to be f**ked, and I like to f**k her… Any other stupid questions?
Let me add one:
Propose more observance of gender inequalities >
Women = Empowered, brave and assertive Feminist
Men = Bigoted, misogynistic hate-monger who can’t get laid
Don’t forget, “with little dicks.”
Women’s use of dildo’s
– Liberated, empowered, embracing her sexuality, in touch with her body and her needs
Man using a sex toy/doll
– Sick fucking pervert, loser, can’t get laid, monster, objectifying asshole, misogynist, sexist, deviant, possible pedophile, sick twisted animal, boogyman, possible rapist.
The femcentric dynamic that Rollo always blogs about is just the implementation of egalitarianism. It is egalitarianism which is the ruling paradigm of the modern West ever since the Left ascended to cultural domination with the rise of the New Left post 1960s. The manosphere makes much of this but its obvious to all who understand the philosophic and historical development of Leftism. But all this begs a question. The manosphere obviously disagrees with feminism/leftism. But what do you want to replace it with? A return to state enforced monogamy? Is the manosphere just a repackaged social conservatism? It seems… Read more »

Funny but he got it all wrong. The stud doesnt listen to her cat story. She listens to his.
Yeah that was the one part he got completely backwards. It shows how ingrained the idea is that pandering to women gets you laid when even an aware guy like him thinks it. Otherwise the video was funny and the ending almost redeemed him.
The poor bastard thinks a stud is the perfect beta. Somebody save him.
Well, he was using the generic background of trials and tribulations of the (especially US) pickup scene as an effectively comedic concentrate. Black, deathly and macabre comedy, that is.
The important thing about the chart as regards the double standard is that it points out that the two situations are different, so there is no contradiction in applying different standards. It’s like comparing someone who goes on a big game hunt with someone who culls deer during a bait-and-shoot. Sure, both people set out to kill animals, but there is no contradiction in calling the big game hunter’s kill the more impressive act (indeed, baiting is so unsporting that it is typically illegal except for population control efforts) – and that’s exactly what there is the SMP, a vast… Read more »
Women demanded to be compared on the act alone, not about biochemical ramifications. The femmes framed it as an equal act with disparate consequences based on gender. eg. INPUT sleep with too many people IF woman then = “slut”; IF man then = “super_stud”; ELSE print “bisexual” END It was women who wanted to be judged as a man would for the same act. (ie. super stud) The graphic and everyone else’s additions above are testament to that blatant infantilization that is woman’s reasoning when the tables flipped and they have to deal with counter observations they didn’t want to… Read more »

When girls complain about that double standard it doesnt mean they want to fix reality and standards and morals. What it means is in it emotional content.
The content is that she wants to fuck a lot of guys and doesnt want to be shamed for it.
Which becomes a tease: so, what you’re saying is that you want to bang a lot of dudes, right? and she´ll giggle. And we´ll end up fucking.
I’m sure most of you have probably seen this meme by now- http://www.memecenter.com/fun/103372/once-upon-a-time-a-prince-asked-a-beatiful-princess-will-you-marry-me
Today a chick I dated briefly awhile back posted the “women’s version” on facebook. Can’t find a link but yea, it’s probably just what you think it is, talking about traveling the world and hooking up with cute guys and not being called a slut and putting herself first.
These chicks want all of the perks that men have without any of the obligations, responsibilities, repercussions, or the WORK that goes into it.

This is freaking fantastic and far more comprehensive than I thought possible. Consider it bookmarked and waiting to be stolen.
If you’re a professor, its called plagiarising. not stealing.
Or rather in the Academia: “uncredited, unsourced research of temporarily untraceable origin” a.k.a. Internet Snatch.
Under “Wants to feel as much pleasure as possible during sex”, add “Western doctors routinely cut off a densely-innervated and protective portion of male genitalia to little concern to society” versus “Felony to perform any type of female circumcision, even a symbolic pinprick” [the latter restriction IS moral, I admit].
boy, that’s a comprehensive list. kind of like DoubleStandard Cheat Sheet.

This image was full of a lot of just lame victim mentality. The fashion store for thing for instance.. If men shopped more and bought more clothes, there would be more fashion stores for men. Fact is they don’t, and the market changes because of that. It has nothing to do with a double standard. The truth is there are plenty of double standards and to act as though your gender might have it worse than another is a shame. I’m sure if women wanted to make one of these just like this, they could. I’m sure any group of… Read more »
Perhaps, but in a fem-centric culture which gender will generate a sympathetic response to that list and which gender will be told “Man Up or Shut Up” ? https://rationalmale.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/the-honor-system/ Which gender owns the term ‘Double Standard’ and which gender will be called a whiner for complaining about them? It’s not that you couldn’t compile a list of double standards that affect either gender, it’s who owns the message.

Reminds me of this: If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you’re a male chauvinist. If you stay home and do the housework,you’re a pansy.

How about how society is engineered for women to be happy? Marriage is unstable for men because that is not natural for men to be happy in monogamous relationships while women can be. So atleast most of life for most men is unhappy while most of life for most women is happy. Also consider the fact that man’s attraction is based on looks and the wife keeps changing for the worse, while woman’s is based more on character and personality and that keeps usually getting better or atleast staying the same.

Funny though how the smoking bans in the bars have turned most of them into estrogen showcases. Since women don’t tip well this isn’t going to end well.
It would seem to me that another important double standard is that *most men* no longer have gathering places without women whereas women have loads of them–whether they like it or not.

Hey Connie. This double standard has a name. It’s called Madonna/Whore (M/W) syndrome.
This is one of the core double standards of American culture.
And the fools who believe this shit deserve the sexless, unfulfilling marriages and long term relationships they end up in . . . and get cuckolded in-LOL
@ Connie Again, if you read over the article and comments the answer is within. It isn’t about how you can (or can’t) come up with double standards on both sides, it’s about how the very mentioning (or questioning) of these double standards that don’t favor men is shamed the very minute a man mentions it or calls it into question. That is the double standard in itself. The truth is our society has set out to place a man in a ‘catch 22’ position at the very thought of questioning anything, today. A man can no longer ask questions… Read more »

Yes there are real double standards against females. And because m,e’s don’t want females to tell about it, then males create some false double standards.

lol bullshit. men doesn’t get congratulated for having sex with multiple women. i don’t see any men getting trophies for fucking a bunch of women. in fact, most medias portrays men who does this as assholes who should be looked at with contempt.
I find this to be a tad biased. As many of the articles from the list are inaccurate based on what I have observed in society. Since when is it expected for a woman to be boring? I had no idea this expectation existed. And to that regard I think men would revert to the “I’m fucked” response just as much as women. I’m not sure if this was written in 1950 but as a modern day woman very little of this applies and just an FYI there are more women taking on professional roles and attending university than men.… Read more »

“This double standard has a name. It’s called Madonna/Whore (M/W) syndrome.”
Not really. Contrary to how the terms is often used both outside and in the manosphere, usually in a shaming fashion against men who dare to set their standards for a mate and prefer sexually ‘uncompromised’ one, Madonna-whore complex is something different than what Connie mentions.
What Connie refers to is simply as “legitimate” or “natural” male sexual strategy as AF-BB is for women.
