Men seldom accuse women of having double standards, but they do, don't they

 How crazy does it sound when a woman says she will not compete/fight for a man, but she wants men to compete for her affections, isn't this a double standard?

she has two  men on the hook

Gender Double Standards That Remind Me How Much Toxic Masculinity Destroys Society.

Let me first say the thoughts for this post popped into my head while watching "Ready to Love" on BET.

in the process of selecting each gender can pick one or multiple persons of interest to move forward with in the show.  One woman made her two choices, but she kept the 2nd guy in a limbo status, after he thought they had made a solid connection. Now I can hear women say "hey finally women get a chance to do this". But women have always had the same chances to pick between two men to battle over her.

Let not get to deep into history, just note that this not new. 

As a man I have lived the life of multiple choices, now that I think back it was crazy of me to keep doing it for the many years  before I finally got married. But I never dealt with two women in the same city, same state even on the same Island. I kept them as far apart as I could. I was keeping it safe.  Now shows like "who want to marry a millionaire" are fizzling out. new shows like "ready to love " are playing a different type of game.  each gender by committee get to send a person or two home who group (male or female) have not felt they wanted to keep in the mix (maybe they are not aggressive enough). a new comer could join the show without having to gone through  what those who were sent home had to go through from the beginning. OK the tables  are somewhat  better balanced.  But no man or woman want to be a 2nd option. Not even in basketball or football. The game is played where the one with max game potential  will always be the best selection  option

women who look this good have options of which man to choice is limitless.

Final thought..

So, what is a double standard, really? A double standard is a set of principles that applies differently (usually more rigorously) to some people rather than to others. Because of how ubiquitous and deep-rooted gender biases are, double standards have been prevalent in women’s professional/personal lives. A woman needs to be friendly, but not too friendly; ambitious, but not too ambitious; successful, but not too successful… Society applauds men when they’re ambitious, yet when a woman is ambitious she is deemed unlikeable, ruthless, or abrasive.  hmm! does this make us wonder how in the 21st century this still playing out as it does. a man who has choice between two men, is not seen as favorable as a man with two women.
