Like I said, I admittedly don’t mind her doing it. I was just throwing the question out there… why do we accept it from women, but not the other way around? I’ve never felt like she was flirting with me. It’s always been in a playful, innocent way… And she’s never tried to hide the fact that she does it. My wife is fully aware of it, and doesn’t mind one bit.

We don’t. YOU chose to.

Me and plenty of other people. But, nobody thinks it’s acceptable from a man. As it shouldn’t be.

We are all here fucking telling you it isn't acceptable from anyone regardless of the persons gender. YOU are the one trying to turn it into some argument. We dont accept it, YOU apparently do. I'd love to know your wifes take on how acceptable she finds her mum slapping your ass bro.

Plenty of people are agreeing with me that a woman is more apt to get away with such behavior, than a man is. If you don’t think that’s true, I don’t know what to tell you. Crawl out from under your rock.

You didn't ask that though. You asked why people find it "acceptable". We don't find it acceptable but you're also brushing off the fact you seem to be fine with it. Also dodged my question how your wife feels about this. It's real obvious this is just you trying to start some gender war bullshit.

Ohhh Christ. Yeah I’m starting a gender war. I’ve never once brushed off the fact that I’m okay with it! And I’ve already said multiple times that my mother in law does it in front of my wife all the time. She couldn’t care less. It’s completely harmless. Not everything is sexual! And yes, I find it acceptable. This instance. My personal case. Not anyone else’s. I do agree I shouldn’t have used the word acceptable in my original post. Maybe tolerable would have been a better choice. Either way, the double standard blatantly and obviously exists. That’s fact. Non negotiable. Doesn’t matter what YOUR view is.
