Here is a video of some double standards women face in the work force. I find it very eye opening and something for all of us to consider. In our history women have made a tremendous amount of progress but there is still a lot that the face every day just to prove they are equal to men. These labels are only some of the many obstacles women have to face and fight against.

I found this video that is also about double standards! This video is based on the sexual double standards of men and women. For example, why are women labeled as sluts when they sleep around, but men are praised for it? I liked this video because the blogger uses a lot of history and facts to show how sexual double standards have come about. I found it fascinating because a lot of it is based on how genders perceive premarital sex, based on surveys and generalizations. There is so much more in this video about how these double standards relate back to world war 1 and before. I really liked the end of the video because she relates it back to the American sex-education system and how it is failing women.

I thought both of these videos were spot on! First of all, I just love Cristen’s videos! She has so much wit and character that it makes it enjoyable to watch and listen to her videos. Often, I think about the sexual double standard, but I never really realized the extent of this slut shaming until Cristen pointed out, “Sexual assault victims were slut shamed for sex that they weren’t even consenting to.” How can somebody be a slut when he/she did not even want the sex in the first place?! I think it is sad to recognize all of the double standard labels that women are given. Hearing that one is bossy or pushy makes one feel inadequate or shamed, when really being a leader should be appreciated and prioritized.

I have seen a few versions of this video you posted! I do like this one a lot, however, because of the message at the end encouraging women to not hold back because of labels. Unfortunately, in this time period the labels appear unavoidable and persistent. One thing that resignated with me was the first comparison, bossy vs boss. I always felt that the label of bossy came from people fearing women having too much power, and power over men in the work place. I guess that is still a weird concept today that people have to get use to. I grew up in a school system where every principal I have ever had was a woman, but I know in larger corporations this is less common. It almost seems funny trying to imagine a woman running an important business meeting, because that isn’t what we see in the movies or media in general. Maybe the change needs to being with the media and the film industry, because the idea of women leading business ventures should be a normal thing.
