Double Standards - Even Betty And Veronica Know What's Up...

It's ok nobody here judges.

Unless you like Justin bieber . Then we all judge you

I've always hung out with guys, there's just less drama and general bitchiness

If you've always hung out with guys, how do you have a comparison? I used to think that way too, and had almost exclusively male friends until college (I've been the best 'man' twice in my friends weddings, just to give you an idea) until I realized the image of women I distanced myself from and despised was all media and societal made. The idea of these shallow and empty girls is something that is pushed on us- no girl is empty, we all have our battles and experiences. We're more than society tells us we are.

The comic was set in the 90's.

Actually Archie comics have been around since the 40s

Exactly

True true

I think the male equivalent of a whore would be a pimp or a player i guess.

Life is one big double standard, and there are double standards for guys too. Girls can play with action figures and be considered a tomboy, but if a guy plays with dolls, they are completely gay. Girls can wear men's clothing and nobody says anything, but if a guy wears women's clothing they are also gay. Girls can also do things with other girls and consider it experimenting, but if a guy does anything remotely like that, he's also gay. There are a lot of double standards for both sexes.

Exactly! Gender roles hurt everyone- and as long as traits that are universally feminine (being sensitive, open with feelings, etc.) are considered negative and insulting, they will be used as insults. Only when we widen our ideas of what gender is and why we think of it how we do (like we're all doing right now!) can things change.
