What does double standards mean?
It's a set of principles that applies differently and usually more rigorously to one group of people or circumstances than to another. For example, if your parents smoke but tell you not to, that's a double standard. Men who sleep around are considered studs and women who sleep around are considered sluts. That's also a double standard. In other words, a double standard is something that is okay for one group, but not another.
Muslim double standard?
Hijab has always been a command upon all women, jews, chrsistians, and muslims, yet muslims are the only ones who truly foloow this belief, and some jews that i have seen. as for the christian nuns, i see them more oppressed than any other women on earth. Number one, they have to live in the church. number two, they are not allowed to get married, therefore staying virgin for their whole lives. I don''t understand how christians don't see that as oppression, yet they see the muslim women being oppressed...i never flet oppressed by wearing the face veil, and no, my family didn't force me to wear it, however, i was the first i my family to wear it. it gave me strenghth and honor, and still, i don't feel oppressed, ashamed, and i don't envy any woman who doesn't cover, but i pity them. it's all propaganda, if you're muslim u can feel it in the air, it's worse than pollution..lol=)
Why is there such a double standard?
1)Geraldine Farrero sparks racial slurs on behalf of Hillary Clinton; no one ask if Hillary should step down. 2) Mega Church Pastor Hagee; calls the Catholic Church a whore; and that homosexuals are the reason for Katrina. Then endorses McCain, and no ask McCain to step down. 3) Ronald Reagan and both Bushes accepted Farwell and Bob Jones endorsements, even with their openly racial rehtoric, yet no one ask them to step down. Is it plausible that we should judge the candidate for themselves and the real issues?
Why is there a "double standard" in my family?
Yes, whatever, my little sisters are much more intelligent than I am. I'm trying to succeed and I feel like I'm being held back. Whenever I bring up transferring universities, because in this one I am never going to be able to expand and get better in my cello (with the music department being ridiculously small and underfunded), the responses I'm met with are usually, "Well, what about the cost?!" "But this university is perfect for you!" "I want you to stay close by!" But it is so frustrating when the same people making these comments are insisting that my sisters need to go to Harvard or Brown or Scripps. Yes, they have B's in AP classes, but I could have been in AP classes, too, if I wasn't practicing 10 hours a week. Why are the standards so high for them? Why can't any of us choose? Why is the bar set so low for me? What about the freaking price, eh? Sorry :/
