Double Standards Between Males & Females

It's about that time again where I rant and talk about daily life issues as I've done before by blogging and creating videos on youtube. Cutting to the chase, I will be discussing the double standards that still exist in our society as I am typing this blog. The type of double standards I'm referring to is "Gender" type standards that divides in equality between a male and a female.

The following below doesn't represent anyone else views and opinions but my own and doesn't necessarily represent the individual views of all people in society as a whole.


A specific double standard between males and females is the sexual activity between both genders. I like to refer to this standard as the "Player vs Whore Philosophy" because this is a standard that results from the same actions from both genders, but contains a variation of consequences ranging from positive to negative outcomes depending on one's gender.

For example, let's say that Bob (male) has sexual relations with 10 women in the same night. In the room next to Bob; Mary (female) has sexual relations with 10 men in the same night. The outcome is the same pertaining to 1 person sleeping with 10 different people at the same time. Generally speaking, the "word" gets out that Bob has slept with 10 different women at the same time and as a result; most people in society, especially other males, will look at Bob as a "God" or "Player" or a man of "game" or high-social status and will try to follow within Bob's footsteps. Bob will even receive glances from some females because of his sexual relations to please 10 different women at the same time. Sad, but true in some instances.

On the other hand, the "word" gets out that Mary has slept with 10 different men at the same time and her treatment is a little different. Unlike Bob who's being praised for his actions, Mary gets belittled and called a "slut" or "whore" or negative insults for committing the same actions that landed Bob a sanitary "praise" from his male and some female peers. Mary is looked upon by nearly all females as "trifling", "slutty", etc and the males look at Mary as being "easy", a "jump-off"; still a negative outlook for Mary.

I have to wonder why do these standards still exist between men and women. I feel as if society is becoming more desensitized to the fact that people in general are equal because we are all human beings, but the treatment of people in general variates on multiple levels. I believe that influences such as the media, the internet, and so on, has caused the desensitization of most individuals when it comes to double standards.

Morally speaking, most people grow up learning how to have a "monogamous" relationship and some venture away from the monogamous style into open relationships or the "polygamous" lifestyle. As we see in the media, most males who sleep with multiple women in a short time are rappers, rock-stars, celebrities, rich men, or any man of high social status. These men are looked upon by other less social status males as role-models or someone who they would like to follow in their footsteps, which is also why I think males who sleep with multiple women are merely praised or simply looked upon as being a "player".

In movies, the media, or in general, you hardly ever see a female being praised or looked upon as a "playerette" as I like to call it when she sleeps with multiple men in real life or even in movies. In the media such as movies and the internet, the only time you really see a female sleeping with multiple men at once is in a rated-XXX porn movie. If you do see a female sleeping with multiple men at once in a movie, she is almost always given a bad reputation throughout the movie. Why is that?
I feel as if society is more comfortable with the fact that men sleeping with 1000's of women is alright because partially of the media and what they see in day to day activities. I feel that females are treated negatively regarding the same standard because of how the media portray females in the industry, whether its in real life, the internet, or the movies.

There are plenty more standards that I want to point out also, but this standard of "Player vs Whore Philosophy" as I call it is something that I really wanted to dwell on for a bit.



I will leave this section open for more "Double Standards" as I formulate more ideas:

Youtube's Removal of Groups [my thoughts]

As many youtubers are now aware, youtube has removed its group feature from the website. Prior to the removal of its groups, youtube made the following statement which I will paraphrase:


"We will build new group features more thoroughly integrated into YouTube and decided to detach the existing YouTube Groups to avoid confusion among the community and make way for the new product, whatever that product may be. We believe that all group members are important members of the YouTube community and hope that all existing members will beta test these new features when they are released. Groups are going away December 1, 2010. Thanks for supporting this feature and we hope to replace it soon."

In my own words, I've been a fan of youtube groups since I created my youtube gaming channel ("terrencej18") a few years ago. Groups are a way for average youtube users to get noticed by other youtubers while making new friends and gaining insight on their videos. It's hard to get noticed when there's millions of youtube users and everyone is making videos of various types. Unless you're "Fred", "Smosh", "Ray William Johnson", "Schmoyoho", or a few other big-time youtube partners/music artists, the possibility that someone will find your video is second to none. In other words, the chance of "becoming famous" as people put it on youtube is very small, especially if no one is creating content to stand out.

For example, everyday, I receive requests and messages from different youtube users about "checking out my music track" or something of that nature. For the most part, they all have similar beats and they all talk about the same thing; either "women", "money", "vehicles", or "guns". Eventually, people will stop looking at these music pages as they are becoming more repetitive, just like the actual music industry were 90% of the music artists are using "auto-tune" to enhance their voices in their songs. Getting back on subject though, youtube groups were away for the average youtube user to communicate with individuals that share a common interest without having to search videos and track that person's channel just to add him/her as a friend. For instance, I am a hardcore gaming fan, so I would join gaming groups and communicate with fellow gamers that share a common interest while making new friends on youtube, but that can't happen anymore.

The primary reason I think that the groups were shutdown was due to the "sub4sub" groups and "porn" groups that were being created on youtube. I've done sub4sub before on my channel and I still do it because I know that there was no way in hell my channel views, video upload views, or subscribers would have not substantially increased within three months without joining a few sub4sub groups. Some youtubers talk down "sub4sub" groups but there are several youtube partners that would have never became youtube partners (individual or full-account) without joining sub4sub groups including myself. I'm not a full account youtube partner yet, but I have gotten several videos under the individual partner program [ad-revenue sharing] because of sub4sub groups and posting topics inviting people to watch my videos, while telling them to rate, comment, and subscribe.

The second reason I think the groups were shutdown was because of the increase in "porn" groups, in which some of the porn groups had thumbnails of explicit porn images, however, the porn videos posted to these groups were private and could only be seen by whoever the owner of the private porn video sends that video to if they request to watch it from the group.

As a fellow youtuber, I am quite disappointed that youtube or "google" has shutdown the group feature of youtube. It would be nice if they would give an approximate date of these "alleged" new group features that's coming soon to youtube. It wouldn't surprise me if we don't even see any "Group" features until the year 2015, but then again, shutting down groups is not going to stop "sub4sub", not by a long shot because the youtubers that sub4sub can create videos and start the sub4sub legacy over again, which I am 100% for.

Thank you for reading my post.
