The stupid and hypocritical double standards thread

[Tooting Carmen]

(1) "Male homosexuality is a sin and abomination, whereas lesbianism is tolerable if not commendable". This is a double standard that ironically brings together everything from religious fundamentalists to the porn industry itself. (Yes I know that the gay porn industry is huge, but the crucial difference is that, most of the time at least, gay sex is kept vehemently out of straight porn, whereas lesbian sex is a commonplace feature of it).

(2) "Non-English speakers moving to English-speaking countries without knowing the language are rude, uneducated and disrespectful, whereas English-speakers moving to non-English speaking countries without knowing the language are tolerable if not commendable". Arguably the most objectionable feature of that godawful series Emily In Paris, far more than the stupid stereotypes about the French being sexual libertines and lazy, was the very notion of sending an American woman to her company's branch in Paris even though she only spoke about five words of French. And while loads of Americans get indignant about the many Mexicans who live there without speaking much if any English, all the same how many of the roughly one million Americans who live in Mexico know decent Spanish?

(3) "People who are 50% or less SSA are still Black, whereas even a small amount of non-European ancestry makes someone non-white". Mulattas who have zero chance whatsoever of passing in Sub-Saharan Africa (except maybe as atypical Horners, but even that would be a stretch), such as Karyn Parsons and Halle Berry, are still routinely labelled as 'Black'. By contrast, an otherwise very European person who has a hooked nose, squinty eyes or darker-than-average skin becomes 'non-white'.

I don't know of anyone who thinks male homosexuality is a sin but female homosexuality is not. They think both are wrong.

The mainstream news outlets cover one hate crime with a White perpetrator more than a hundred hate crimes with non-White perpetrators. They even cover hoaxes more than real hate crimes against White people (I hate the "hate crime" label).

Indeed. And in this forum particularly, both are considered degeneracy by the majority. Dunno where OP gets his facts from.

The real world, that's where. Even most Islamic and Communist régimes haven't persecuted lesbians anything like as much as gays. And here in the UK, lesbianism has never been a crime, whereas even after homosexuality was decriminalised in 1967, gays were still often arrested for gross indecency and other similar laws for many years.

Ok so? We theologically consider it sin, but socially find it more acceptable because fags are more digusting. So why is it stupid and hypocritical? Because it hurts your feelings? It may be hypocritical, but not stupid.

There are a lot of people like Tony Soprano.

Abusive dads ars abusive because they're bad people but abusive moms are abusive because they are under influence from their bad husbands.

And domestic violence perpetrated by women either doesn't really exist, or if it does then it isn't so bad as when a man does it.

[Petalpusher]

I don't particularly disagree with any of those being double standards, but there are valid reasons for them to be that way.
