So I was a guest on a family talk show this morning and I was asked "why does society put a higher moral burden on the girl and excuse the irresponsibility of the male"?
Hmmmmm very interesting conversation. At the core of the perceived "letting the boys off the hook" is the traditional masculine ideology which has 2 basic fundamentals.
Society has successfully socialised boys to believe they are "superior" to women and secondly,women are "sexual objects" of satisfaction to men.
At the core of the imbalance in moral expectations between females and males are the above ideologies that are passed from generation to generation.
We obviously have to do a lot of re programing to get things running at the intended plan where men set examples in all spheres including morales.
I will conclude this write up at a later date.
