Have you ever noticed how men and women are being treated differently? Even if you never paid a lot of attention to it, it’s probable that you noticed at least something, as it is prevalent in every single corner of society. And quite often it’s very unfair.
In today’s list, we’re going to dive into different double standards between different genders that we noticed by people all over the net. So, jump in, check it out, upvote, and if you have anything to add, don’t shy away from it.

Gender-based medical bias. If a man goes to the hospital with abdominal pain, he’ll be seen to immediately because well, they believe him when he says he’s in excruciating agony. Meanwhile, if a woman goes to the hospital with abdominal pain, it’s immediately assumed that she’s overreacting, it’s really not that bad, it’s probably just cramps, maybe she needs to drink water. A friend of mine was told she had a UTI and was sent home with Amoxicillin. Her appendix burst a couple of hours later and she was in the hospital for weeks as the poisons drained out of her body. Another woman in one of my social circles was admonished for making a scene when she was vomiting in pain in the ER: an ovarian cyst had twisted her ovary around, and it was literally being strangled. It had to be removed via emergency surgery after she spent hours in pain, waiting to be seen. Medical misogyny has cost countless women their health, their lives, their livelihood, etc.

I got a vasectomy at 18 with one serious 10 min conversation with a surgeon and a week of waiting…… there’s women in there 30s that can’t get a surgeon to sign off on a tube tying procedure because “what if you want kid(s) in your future?” And other arbitrary social bs that really shouldn’t be keeping people from accessing healthcare in a developed country. I keep hearing stories about how doctors just don’t want to do there jobs when it comes to procedures women want and can pay for and have waited enough time to make sure they’re “sure” for. And that would make my blood boil, how I’m trusted as a teenager to say “yeah man Iv known since I was like 12 I was never going to want kids, give me the snip, if by some chance I change my mind, I’ll much rather adopt. A woman who wants biological kids is not the woman for me” and you know…… they just took my word for it because I’m an adult and they have a job to do and a practice to uphold. If I was just told “cant do that one mate, what if in like 20 fukin years you change your mind or just regret this?” I’d just keep going to different doctors / clinics until I found a professional that wants to behave like a professional. I’d have travelled to the far corners of the earth to make sure I have control over my body and future. So I’m very glad the first doctor I went to see was like a normal person. Because I know women have to actually go to lists and get referrals and in some countries they’re just not allowed to. (I’m 27, no regrets yet lol).

When an adult man has sexual relations with a teenage girl it’s p********a and a serious crime but when an adult woman does the same with a teenage boy, people say “good for him”. Both are illegal and immoral, one should not be normalized. And in my case it’s less annoying and more infuriating.

For whatever reason sports like ballet and gymnastics are looked as feminine. I’ve seen a lot of boys getting into both sports being called girly.

The lack of baby changing stations in public male restrooms, yet (almost) all female restrooms have them. Excuse me if my kid needs a fresh diaper and the missus is in the middle of her tacos. Want me to change the diaper on the table or at the sink?

When I cook dinner for a male guest it’s considered the bare minimum and I get little credit for it; when my fiancé cooks a meal of similar quality for the same male guest, suddenly I’m getting told emphatically how my fiancé is SUCH AN AMAZING COOK.

Promiscuity. Not too long ago at a party my wife and I shared the story of our beginning, which is that we hooked up at a rave and managed to turn it into a decades-long marriage. People responded to me by loving the story and congratulating me on pulling the hot naked chick at a rave and to her by telling her she was lucky a decent guy cured her of her slutty ways and made an honest woman of her. Same people, same party. All old enough to know better.

That when a woman chooses to stay single or celibate, people assume she’s “damaged,” “bitter,” or “can’t find a man” but when a man does it, he’s either focused, disciplined, or just living his best life. Like… why is her autonomy a problem, but his is power?

When a woman hits a guy, people may just watch, maybe even think it was justified. But oh boy, he better not raise his hand to retaliate, because “hitting a woman is wrong.” or some s**t.
