So this 'double standard' thing is really starting to piss me off. Why is it okay for men to brag about all the women they slept with while at the same time girls are being scrutinized for not being virgins? And the worst thing is, even though they will call you a slut behind your back they first and foremost will try to sleep with you because you have the reputation of being 'easy'.
Now this is not something new, the 'double standard' has been around for a long time. Only now, people are starting to give a counter reaction to the phenomenon. And with 'people' I of course mean people on the internet. Like a male Reddit-user who wanted to see what it was like for a woman on a dating site like Reddit. He made a fake Female profile with a pretty picture, and was shocked at how aggressive some men responded to the profile. Getting mad and threatening when being deprived more pictures or information.
Makes you wonder when having a pretty face became being a target for sexually frustrated men who think being an aggressive asshole is the way into a girls pants. It's like they don't even care anymore about you or your life, but only about how many guys you've slept with so they can estimate how easy you are. This was also investigated with another fake profile. This time, the aim was to prove that men do look beyond your profile picture. Unfortunately the opposite was proven. The profile portrays literally the worst person on the planet, saying she lied to her ex-boyfriend about being pregnant so he pays her child-support, and pretending to be going to law school so her parents will pay her bills, and that she enjoys knocking cups out of homeless people's hands and watches them pick everything up. Pretty cute huh? That's what 150 guys in less than 24 hours thought.
Even though the 'double standard' will never stop existing it is cool to see that people, women and men, are willing to bring this under the attention and letting people know how ridiculous all of this is. And of course there are a lot of things that are accepted when you're a girl that are not accepted when you're a guy. We're all just really big hypocrites. I'm a hypocrite for writing this article. But by talking about it and admitting how stupid it is maybe in the future, everybody will be able to do whatever the hell they like without having to feel judged by anyone.
