Why is it there are so many standards and expectations men have to live up to, but women have none?

It's like every little accomplishment a woman does is amazing and if they don't do anything at all then that's ok too.

    its because of sexual power mainly but that holds its own expectations (ill get back to that later)

    but also because they give birth and then say they can do nothing else and "they have to take care of the baby" when this is complete wrong women can do work even after giving birth and i know this is a FACT because my mother did it gave birth AT 16 worked AND still had enough time to come home and beat the crap outta me and scream her day out

    ITS NOT THAT F***ING HARD TO SWITCH OUT ABUSE WITH PROPER RAISING

    if my own mother had enough time to do all the above and properly raise me(even though she didnt really "raise" me more then teach me to be a soldier) any women can if they manage their time properly

    so any women who says they cant raise a child and work is either lazy or just want more time with the child then truly needed (which i have no problem with that if they are a proper parent and have a sufficiant funding for it)

    anyway

    women are expected to keep their bodys in shape (mainly subliminally via the media which fyi if you have low self esteem TURN OFF THE DAMN TV talk to real people for once and stop paying attention to every goddamn magazine you see and you will see just how badly you've been brainwashed into ruining your own self esteem and KEYWORD IN THAT IS SELF)

    have big breasts big butt wide hips the "hourglass" figure(i think thats what its called)

    to be sexually open to trying things they do not want to do or "put out" after a set amount of time (which i apologize i do this myself with the 6 month limit but honestly i could be attacked or killed any day so 6 months is pretty damn generous)

    i honestly respect a certain limit here and there but some dudes go a bit overboard(some go waaaaay overboard)

    also laziness is not gender based it is individual based some guys are lazy sh*ts aswell

    also the high expectations of men again thats stereotypes

    alot of individual women tend to be a bit more lenient to guys they like on an emotional setting

    of course who can argue the fact that MOST(not all) meet ups/dates/pick ups are majority based in "is this guy/girl hot?"

    physical attraction has a strong pull but doesnt "glue" anyone anywhere (just something to note)

    alot of times feminism is more focused on dealing with stereotypes against women

    same thing MRAs should do (they say lead by example right? well start making some moves here is it really not that obvious here?)

    Source(s): real peoples opinions vs media stereotypes its almost as easy as common sense kicking the cr@p outta a myth

    Not true.

    Yes, men tend to be judged more on their accomplishments and abilities, but women are judged just as harshly on their sexual and relationship choices. They also tend to be judged a lot more harshly where their looks are concerned and have a lot more pressure on them to stop the aging process and to stay thin.

    I think society is equally judgemental on both genders, just in different ways.
