Double Standards Are Overrated

Today’s episode is about rules or principles which are unfairly applied in different ways to different people or groups. If you couldn’t guess from the definition, we’re talking about double standards today. Double standards confine us into strict categories that limit us from speaking, making, and living our truth. Some double standards date far back from past generations and continue to affect our daily lives today. They are excuses for us to mistreat each other and become judgmental based off of socially constructed ideas. They can affect our relationships, body image, and overall ability to understand others. Double standards do a lot more harm than good and we wanted to talk about some that have affected us in our personal lives. We knew it was time we speak up on this topic because double standards are harmful, demeaning, and so overrated.
