Double Standards About Intimacy
Women are constantly being told about the risks associated with sex, and they’re ridiculed for wanting or having it. They also have to worry about getting birth control. On the other hand, males are congratulated for pursuing physical intimacy and given contraception without question; however, they aren’t taught how to be safe or make their female partners feel comfortable.
Physical closeness is evaluated differently for males and females under physical double standards. Consequently, men in our society are seen to have the same types of physical relationships and actions as women, which leads to a more favorable judgment.
