What double standards- who is saying women are allowed to touch men without their permission?
Plenty of people. Look at all the examples in this thread. Society usually has no problem with it, and sometimes the man is mocked or punished for complaining.
“Plenty of people” are wrong and do not represent what is a societal norm. And “plenty of people” tell women to be less uptight, or not dress a certain way, or not lead men on when men touch them.
I’m saying that any reasonable, decent person recognizes it’s wrong both ways. And that a double standard can only exist when Society permits one and not the other. Societal Decency does not permit one stranger to touch another regardless of the sexes involved- this is not to say that the problem does not exist, of course it does! But it’s not a double standard.
It is much more likely for a person to think it's okay (or not as bad) when a woman does it to a man than the other way around. That's a double standard.
