Through a few of the presentations that were discussed what really stood out was the double standard of women. It was explained that a girl who attended SCU had be asked to leave the gym because of her apparel. As she wore work out shorts(mid thigh), a tank top(Belly showing) she ended up being asked to leave because she was showing to much skin. But what i find interesting is that a male can wear the same skimpy ripped shirt or no shirt at all with shorts and they are not asked to leave. This double standard in within gender is everywhere.
The workforce consists of many double standards. While working in a certain field should be based off of ability and skill, many determine how hard the work is based on the population of men. That a higher population of women in a work force is considered a soft one. Even men get paid more then women do even if they are at the same job. Another thought that is a main argument between this generation is many girls are considered “sluts” when they have been with a lot of guys. But when guys have been with a lot of girls they don’t get called any names at all. But one thing I would like to point out with the double standard and men is that guys are not allowed to hit girls but girls can hit guys. As a women can lay her hands on a man and the man has to sit there and take the criticism, girls that would get hit by men would have them arrested in a flat second.
This double standard exists because of the appeal to the opposite sex. Don’t get me wrong I think a women should be allowed to wear anything a man can but women do not like looking at guys in bras and bikinis. I had come across this article “If men posed like women” that was a photo shoot of girls posing with motorcycles and half way through they dressed guys in the same thing. Just like if girls posed for a Copenhagen tobacco can, that would be unattractive for a women to be scruffy in the country with a big lip.
