Double Standards

Ugh, I hate that too. But I hate it because it actually happened to me as a child. My mother was a dead beat and couldn't support any of her children. She couldn't even take care of herself and depended on my father. My father on the other hand had a solid job. He was an active participant in taking care of his children.

But who do they give the children to? Why, thier mommy ofcourse. Then she ends up fucking up and the law has to step in to pluck us out. Then after she disapears off the face of the earth they finally go "Okay lets give em to the dad!".

I assume they do this because of the close bond small children and thier mothers usually have. It just doesn't make sense when the mother couldn't possibly support them properly.

Anyways, enough of this emo bullshit, here's a double standard I haven't really seen mentioned. I'm kind of surprised too since there are so many gamers here. But the whole Male/Female gamer thing. A male gamer is sad or pathetic, maybe even a nerd. But the moment a female picks up a game controller trumpets go off and everyone screams in amazement. Like it's so rare that a female would play games.

Not only that, you have the whole 'skill' thing. A male gamer is always better at gaming than a female gamer. Or a female gamer can only play easy or cute games. Though It's not really as bad as it was years ago. This has been dieing off alot over the years.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
