text: whats with the gender double standard? i have read alot of questions which start off with "why are men" (which is a generalization) when they have a problem with their mate.  however when i talk about "women" girls tend to become offended easy. i understand if girls don't like being generalized but you can't generalize in the same sentence. personally i generalize all the time but then i understand when people generalize me. because humans will always find something to be upset about (in general)
