Double Standards Between Men and Women

Double standards between the two sexes have been around since the beginning of time, and astonishingly in this day and age of so called political correctness and just mindedness, it is still present. One example that most everyone is familiar with is that when males are sexually promiscuous they are seen as heroes, but when women are sexually promiscuous they are seen as villains. I feel that the media sets double standards in the minds of women. When one pictures the “perfect women” (which the media portrays) one pictures a tall, thin, no blemishes, and silky smoothed haired women. That’s what we should all aspire too? On the contrary, men, do not have to fit into one standard look. They can be older, heavier and bald and still fit into the male beauty standard because the media does not send the audience only “one type” of man. Why is it that older men want younger women? My guess it not for their intelligence or “inner beauty”. Go look in any magazine, Teen people, Cosmopolitan, US weekly, I guarantee you that in all of the ads the women are either half naked or in some sort of sexual position trying to the sell the product. I was watching television the other day and there were at least ten commercials trying to sell cleaning products, and just take a wild guess who was acting out how the product worked… ALL WOMEN. Times are supposedly changing, but then how come I don’t see it!
