The topic was brought upon my HP laptop screen of the Double Standards that exist between males and females..... it made me think: When is the Double Standard a TRIPLE STANDARD??? *dunn dunn dunnnnnnn*** when is it too much? When a man holds a door for a woman, and she doesn't say "thank you"?? When a man buys a woman a drink or two at the club & she won't even give casual convo?? OOrrrr when a man works hard, pays bills, buys food, pays child support (if that's the case) and always gets a "you don't do shit!" (NOTE: I can only speak for men, because I am looking through MY eyes. Big Ups to my women too) Awww man, I can go on forever! But I just think its ironic that the times men try to balance out the Double Standard, it becomes completely one-sided... when will we BOTH stand up and hold it down for our genders?
"I do not necessarilly believe in the words I write, just food for thought.... if u have a weak stomach to what I feed you, just suck & don't swallow... BOTCH"
that's not a standard within a standard...more like the common case of lost chivalry, manners AND common sense.
ReplyDeleteso what this nigga is doing his job. his woman just might be doin her job too by cookin the food, maintaining the household, and taking care of those kids..is he there for her emotionally or is he just throwin money at her like that's enough??
Its not the case of him "doing his job"... that falls to the question: What IS his Job? Is it his responsibility to handle his "role" as a man, or to play the "role" of saviour to his spouse? In response to that, what is the woman's "role"? in the end, it all falls back onto the double standard that no one is ever satisfied with themselves nor the ones around them. They expect more from the next man to compensate their shortcomings.
ReplyDeleteI am not referring to a Double Standard, essentially. But it is what made me think of that.... I trail off quite often.
ReplyDeleteBut in reference to a Double Standard, Life is a Double Standard. We are not, were not, and will not be even. That topic can go as far back as the stone age. Men, women, people, and animals never regard each other as equal because they are not. I am not equal to the next man jus as he isn't to the next woman. I regard everyone as equal to me in their own walk of life, but I can't say everyone else will. Asking "why" is like asking me why I have a blog when it constanly ERASES MY SHIT!
Mmmmm.... food for thought.... don't puke, its not for everyone...
relationships are a compromise on both ends...u have to humble yourself and deal with the fact that things really won't be 100% equal. with 2 different personalities and values are gonna coe 2 different sets of expectations...probably outrageous expectations. at any rate, perfection won't be found...but being able to understand what your partner likes and dislikes will allow u to be able to look at that person on some real shit. see where they fit into your life, be able to comunicate with them, etc. those are the roles that i feel both men and women should play.
ReplyDeleteAhh.... the American Dream.
ReplyDeleteIs one man better than the other? Does his life hold more value than the next? Is it wrong if I Love myself more than I love anyone else? Would the Golden Rule be a rule if it were never broken?
IF we ALL treated each other the same, WOULD we all be equals?
Food for Thought? Or Just desserts? MmmMmmGood.
is it a dream to build a relationship off trust and understanding? would i be the bud of jokes for actually trying to get to know my partner before deciding whether or not they fit in my life?
ReplyDeleteIs it possible for all relationships to work IF we were willing to do these things? What about if there was no way out?
In Response to Jeremys Comments
ReplyDeleteIs one man better than the other?
YES
Does his life hold more value than the next?
Hell Yes, It depends on who the person is and what they are doing with their lives so in other words is a crackhead life more valuable then the presidents?
Is it wrong if I Love myself more than I love anyone else?
Its depends, if your a single man no, but if you have a wife and some kids then yes it is
Would the Golden Rule be a rule if it were never broken?
Probably not
IF we ALL treated each other the same, WOULD we all be equals?
No
Yako (Zay) sees my point... the way society, civilization, and humans are, its a stretch to expect anyone to do much of anything for them...
