No! But Seriously: Let Me Explain…
Double Standards: Are you really familiar with the negative design behind the terms?
Have you ever been quick to judge someone but turtle slow on correcting yourself? You know how people tend to have unrealistic expectations, but don’t have the same standards.
Some people skin will cringe when they come in contact with people who have double standards. We try to understand where they are coming from, then empathize with them to some degree. Double standards are only ever a problem when someone perceives that the double standard is unfair. It is a double standard that when a baby cries, mom is expected to immediately respond by comforting the baby. But when mom cries, the baby is not expected to immediately respond by comforting the mother. But none of us think this double standard is unfair. We don’t think it is unfair because there are lots of good reasons why the double standard exists. Handling double standards from strangers is easy. However, handling double standards coming from someone you care about hit a little different.
Many times, especially in relationships, the issue isn’t the double standard itself. It is that the double standard currently doesn’t allow for one person to keep their boundaries because to allow for the double standard means their needs are not going to be met. Anything that society shames us about or that we feel shame about is likely to be hidden from our conscious awareness.
A double standard is not just a term. It is the injustice, discrimination and pain that our society brings to people. Applauding a guy if he can do house chores but simply expect a female to do the same work by default. Don’t let double standards bring you down. If you know someone that is currently living their life under the "Double Standards" rules - then this episode is just for you!
