All you need to know about the double standard is on this thread.

11. You understand why I was so vague in...

my description of certain things. I know we'll be alerted on just because certain elements alert on all of this stuff, but the jury might be less motivated to hide if we're not so specific.

And yes, that fear alone does identify not just a double standard, but an actual climate of fear that we're not really able to control except by simply avoiding many discussions, no matter how innocent we think they are.

As to the why's of it all... part of it is we don't have the moral authority of being the target of discrimination so no one really cares. We also haven't bothered to organize protests over the admittedly rare occasions of what could be called mysandry while other elements are quick on the trigger. I suppose on the bottom line we really just don't give a shit until it gets really out of hand. And even then we have better things to worry about.

My useless solution is that complaints of sexism of any sort be cause for an immediate ban unless the complainer make a good case that it is really sexism.

But that ain't gonna happen.
