Kim K. is a Victim of The Double Standard

By | December 9, 2010 at 4:09 pm

The infamous double standard strikes again. This time targeting one of our favorite celebutantes, Kim Kardashian. Are men the only people allowed to date around and have fun?

You’ve heard it a thousand times, the double standard… men can do it, but women can’t.  I do agree with the fact that there is a distinct difference between a man and a woman, however, I also agree with the need to adapt and adjust accordingly with the times.  Ever since her breakup with Reggie Bush of the New Orleans Saints, Kim K. has been on the dating scene and constantly catching negativity about it.

In the past months, Kim has been linked to Kanye West, Gabriel Aubry, and Kris Humphries.  Catching the most heat for dating Halle Berry’s ex, Gabriel  and recently  having to deny rumors of carrying Kanye’s baby.  It seems like the world is wrapped up in Kim K’s personal life.  Can a girl just live?

“My favorite part about being single is just that I can focus on work and not feel guilty,” said the star, to US Magazine.

You constantly hear men being praised for their bachelor lifestyles and their refusal to indulge in a commited relationship.  They’ve even glorified titles like “Pimp” and “Player”.  So much so that young boys actually set goals to be those things.  But, when a woman decides that she just wants to casually date, suddenly she’s referred to as a “whore” or a “game player”.  Casted off into the land of  “not wife material.”  When you’re as busy as Kim Kardashian, maybe a committed relationship isn’t the best answer.  She’s just a hardworking gal who likes to enjoy good company once in awhile.

It’s a new day and with 2011 waiting just around the corner- there’s only room for more changes to come.  There’s nothing wrong with a woman going out and testing the waters.  Let’s also remember there is a very big difference between the woman who leaves the club with a different guy every night and the career woman who knows what she wants and may be spotted at a restaurant with a different Beau every few weeks or so.  I think men frown upon women who do this because they are judging it from their own mind.  They know what they’re thinking when they date multiple women and they know what’s on their minds during  a date.  Just like I mentioned in the beginning of this topic, there’s a distinct difference between a man and a woman and one distinct difference is the thought process.  Sometimes a girl just wants to have fun and fun can be as simple as a dinner date and a good laugh.  Nothing less… nothing more.

    Popular way of understanding the double standard

    What the generalized complaint is:
    “its’s unfair that if a guy f*cks a different girl every week, he’s a legend, but if a girl f*cks just two guys in a year, shes a slut”

    The generalized perception:
    “if a key opens lots of locks, then it’s a master key. But if a lock is opened by lots of keys, then it’s a shitty lock.”

    I don’t really feel Kim Kardashian is a victim to any such thing, when just weeks ago she is quoted as glumly stating, “I’m 30. I thought I’d be married by now.” This woman does nothing but gallivants with celebrities, and gets spotted several times, and then wishes to cry about it? I am sorry, but who knows how many other celebrities she’s been fucking with. Let’s not forget, this is a superficial woman who only dates celebrities. She is clearly looking for status, and feels as she is at the top of the hierarchy she is not to associate nor date the proletarians. Kim Kardashian and her sisters need to grow up and stop talking about vaginas on national television. Then maybe she won’t be such a whore.
