131. You are mis-using the concept of double standards and minimizing women's reality

When you respond to my response to someone else, the context is important. You jumped into my conversation with poster #22.

You are mis-using the concept of double standards according to the same line of thinking that critics of affirmative action use (one unfair criticism has happened to a man's behavior! therefore we can criticize women all we want!). You're acting blind to centuries of history, just like people who get furious because one qualified white student is turned down for a program so that a minority person can get the slot.

You're acting like the level playing field only should begin at the point that the injustice to the majority person occurred (in this case, mocking Bernie's passion as "yelling&quot and ignore everything prior to that.

Constricted standards of tone, behavior and appearance are overly applied to women every day of our lives (and to minority males to some extent).

To pretend otherwise is minimizing the very real silencing that African Americans get for showing human anger (another angry Black person!--God forbid Obama show 1/10th the anger of Donald Trump) and the daily tightrope that women have to walk so that they are "just right"--not too cold, not too warm, not too demure, not too angry, not too soft-spoken, not 'yelling.'

Go right ahead offending women with this line of attack if it's that important to you. You and the other posters doing this are hurting our cause.
