10 Examples of Double Standards That Our Society Needs To Think About

Our society has evolved a lot for the better in last 100 years, but the equality in society is something which we humans still needs to work upon. The vast array of double standards that still divide people.

The definition of double standard states that it is a rule or a principle applied to different people or groups. One of the most prominent case of double standard is on the basis of gender equality. Many things which are usually okay for men, are not acceptable when done by women. And one of the most surprising fact is that we ourselves apply those standards to the people surrounding us and don’t even notice it

3. We believe it’s okay for a woman to release her stress through tears and we consider a crying man a weak.

5. Body hair topic is still a heavily discussed one.

6. In fictional stories, when a man flies he’s a hero, but when a woman does that she’s a witch.
