Re: Double Standards you have
(Anonymous) 2017-02-01 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)Just, it is hard for me to separate the historical context, and while I believe it is possible in theory to have a non-sexist version of a man with multiple female partners, I generally automatically assume that isn't the case unless proven otherwise.
This definitely extends to fics too. I generally avoid M/F/F threesome fics, and I especially avoid harem fics. But on the other hand M/F/M, M/M/M, and F/F/F threesomes are some of my favorite things in fics. And if harem fics where the woman had the harem existed, I'd be totally down to read that.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-02 12:05 am (UTC)(link)Though in the religious groups, the women aren't supposed to sleep with each other. Maybe for me, it feels like everyone should be interested in everyone, rather than all focused on one individual.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-02 02:57 am (UTC)(link)Perhaps because the comments / jokes are (in general, not always) less meanspirited or putting men down, more like finding their foibles funny or endearing. (At least the ones I hear!)
I tend to find jokes about women and how stupid they are really, REALLY not funny. Or anything related to periods, etc.
Re: Double Standards you have
(Anonymous) 2017-02-02 09:20 am (UTC)(link)I feel like there are just too many men out there who don't like or respect women at all, they just like pussy. So when I hear guys "joking" about how annoying or dumb women are, their comments exist within that context for me.
Whereas pretty much all the straight women I've known well have struggled with feeling anxious and unhappy because a man they love has done something that's hurt them, and they're trying to figure out how to reconcile those two things. And that's where flippant "Boys are dumb" statements come in.
Then again, I've seen a fair few women on the internet who talk like they hate men and are just in it for the dick. So maybe women like that are more prevalent than I think? I just don't know. I find it hard to believe that even a fraction of the women who talk like that online actually feel that way or act that way IRL. Especially because personally I've never had any female friends/family members who've had that attitude. But IDK.
