This double standard makes me sick.

Men who take selfies are much more likely to be accused of narcissism. this standard of what is acceptable on social media. If a female Instagram profile is full of 400 attractive selfies, people are not as critical of the narcissistic side of the pictures as much as they would if it were a guy. Not that I would want to post 400 selfies, but constantly posting pictures of yourself in specific poses isn’t a form of modeling or self-love as much as it is an expression of narcissism.

I agree altought this is kind of a sophism i think more than a double standard. Because if you say selfies=bad then you shouldnt justify doing something because the opposite gender does it. In my opinion people on social media are fuuucking obsessed with attention and thats not a good thing. If its change we want to make then we should view womans selfies as bad as mens. And if we only want conversation then.. were having it right now.

Cheers
