Day 12: Double Standards

It was good for me to be reminded tonight that men feel insecurity as much as women.

It can't be a double standard. If men are considered by women to be lust crazed loons if they mention how hott a girl is to another guy, then one would assume women would not mention physical features of men in a similar way and expect the men to still refrain from such speech.

How hypocritical.

If we women ask -or require- the men in our lives to behave a certain way because it bothers us, it should be widely understood that we will be carrying ourselves in the same manner or avoiding the same topics of conversation. They can just as easily promote insecurity and comparison in a man's life and heart, as it does in a woman's.
