One of the reasons why this double standard is of interest to me is because double standards reinforce the differences between people. This is a bad thing? I personally love the fact that women and men are different and treated differently, it makes life a hell of a lot more interesting. For example I am a man and love projecting the image of being a hell of a lot more masculine than I might actually be in some situations to gain an advantage, conversely women play upon their feminine charms and power over men to gain an advantage. How are you not able to accept that the world is the way it is for a reason? Women being under evaluated by idiot males is not a bad thing, ask a smart woman and they will tell you they like that just fine because they wont see them coming! In fact I often envy the smart woman, they have it so easy whereas as a male I just have different tools at my disposal and manipulating women is much harder initially in my opinion for a number of reasons I don't feel like going into here. Sure some women can be very nasty and some men can do unspeakable things, but why does any of this surprise you!

>>I'm saying that human kind, when it no longer marginalizes people, will start to appreciate the unique contributions of each individual and it will lower the wall towards society becoming a meritocracy
Are you serious?
Some people deserved to be marginalized.
I am a human, they are all human, if they drink and do stupid things then I should throw myself into the loop. Nope, not going to work.
We are all part of the same species but not the same group. Don't be tricked into ideal solipsism.

I believe that everyone is born equal, but not that they remain equal after that. Can you prove this? Science far out weights what you are assuming here.

Come on, stop playing the activist card.
You brought up the discussion of alcohol and intoxicated women. You made it a point that it happens to everybody, which is solipsism. Now you use race and women to make a point?

As far as doing something about it goes... What would you propose I do other than make other's aware of the situation, initiate intelligent debate about it, and provide an opportunity for other's to examine the situation and how people feel about it? Some people are morons, they make stupid choices. Why do you think it's your duty to save them or show them the truth? Let idiots be idiots. If you're smart, you'll use it to your advantage (and no, I'm not talking about getting some action). I would suggest being concerned about yourself and making decisions accordingly.

Yeah, like I picked a fight. Everyone in here telling you that this is pointless is going out of their way to pick on you. Poor thing. You are ridiculous and I'm not going to rise to your bait.
Masochist? Ugh.
