coloeagle's blog post - Why the double standard...

Sunday, September 21, 2008, 4:30:51 PM
Musings this morning..

Why is it when a man has a younger female lover, he is called a leech, but when a woman has a younger male lover, she is called a cougar..?

Why is it when a married man goes to sites looking for a hook-up the gals there condemn the shit out him and shun him, but a married woman is more or less given a pat on the back by the them...?

Why don't folks fill out the personal info blocks.. like here at NN...? I don't need full history, but hey... tell me something about you... your pics aren't the greatest ; ) so why should I come back or even attempt to connect with you..?

well, ponder away if you happen to come across my blog, and feel free to drop your two cents...

Women are allowed graces that men aren't. It's that simple. As long as both men and women see it that way, then nothing will change.

Also, women are still viewed in a double standard the other way: a sexually-adventurous (straight) man is viewed as a 'stud' and the same kind of woman is viewed as a 'harlot'.

It's a fine line, and there are no easy answers.
