There must always be a double standard, since men and women are quite different. No one has ever made a successful case demonstrating otherwise.
Intellectually, socially and a few other concerns, somewhat similar, indeed, but still not the same. Even the pursuit of intellect is motivated by two differing instincts of inborn behavior. Stereotype or not.
While there are many crossovers in behaviors, motivations, even instincts, you can never have just one standard for both that fits either well.
I do not have to dip into any religious scripts to notice this. There is science to learn here.
Males and females are different.
The resulting standards by which either are judged must take that into some form of consideration, if life were to be fair.
Finding a way to make life a little more fair is a path toward civilization, if we could ever get there.
