It's like when I eat breakfast in the morning is it because I'm hungry or is it to reinforce my role as the hunter and my wife's role as the submissive caretaker (even though I do the cooking. But only to undermine her authority in the kitchen and force her in to dependency on myself for survival. I swear! Don't kick me out of the patriarchy).
Some double standards may be more accurately identified as flat-out reversals, such as the double standard whereby prostituted women have been singled out for oppressive and restrictive state interventions meant to stop the spread of disease but male johns werent.
In some places prostitution is legal but being a "John" is not. In most places both are illegal. I can't think of anywhere that it is legal to pay a person for sex but illegal to take the money.
Women around the world are literally used up by men, until we die from it: women are raped literally to death, we are subjected to numerous unwanted pregnancies that are known to kill us and in fact do kill some 500,000 women globally every year, and we are driven to illness and suicide from the stress and torment of living and laboring under the brutal conditions of patriarchy and of individual men.
I guess this explains why women on average live so much longer. We're raping them to death via consensual sex which apparently they hate no matter how much they consent and seem to enjoy it.
