double standards...

i want to discuss this thread.

Sure. I am here!

I completely agree with you, it is double standard.

If you take as an example a man that goes to a police station and report that he has been a victim of domestic violence/abuse, many times he wont be taken too seriously and he probably will hear some “funny comments” not only from women but from other men whereas if it was a woman, people would tend to believe her version much quicker.

Probably because women have been the “fragile sex” for such a long time, society doesn’t see men in such a position to be bullied (or taken advantage) by women yet, especially in more "macho" societies.

I am one of the first to defend women’s rights but in this case I completely understand your indignation (I am sorry if this word is too strong for how you feel )

For the record, I think patting someone’s bottom in a work place is completely unacceptable from both male or female (unless the parts involved are escorts and clients of course).
