How come single mothers can bust their ass working 2 and 3 jobs while trying to raise a family alone, and not get praised, thanked, or any type of recognition for doing and trying their best, but when a single father does it, he gets all kinds of 'oooooooh's and ahhhhh's' from folks like he's doing something out of the extraordinary.........
Again, I'll chock this up to residual instincts. Women have just always been expected to be the caregivers for the young.
To me its a double standard because "gang bang" and "train being ran on her" have negative connotations and '3-some' does not. Regardless of the fact that its 2 men and 1 woman or 2 women and 1 man, its still 3 people involved, therefore, its a 3-some.
I guess it's perspective. I never considered them to be negative connotations.
Why is it during 3-somes with a man and 2 women, its called just that...'a 3-some'...but when its a woman and 2 men, its called a GANG BANG or stated how a 'train' was ran on the female?
I would only consider sex between 2 women and 1 man to be a gang bang, if both women strapped on a d.i.l.d.o and took turns sticking it up the guy's anus.
Name some double standards that make you raise an eyebrow or two when it comes to male and female relationships..
For instance, these are two that make me raise an eyebrow:
Why is it when a man has multiple sex partners, he's considered 'the man', 'a big pimp', whereas he's put up on a pedestal and admired for his actions, however when a woman has multiple sex partners, she's considered a ho...a real life Jezebel?

I am no expert, but maybe the threesome with a man and two women involves concurrent sexual activity between the three participants, while I train is simply one guy following the other in activity with the woman without any contact between the multiple participants.

When a train is run on a woman, it usually involves more than two guys and, again, they are not having sex with her at the same time.

This one is not as true as it used to be. Nowadays, you'll hear people calling it empowerment if a woman sleeps around like a man. Shows like Sex & The City prove this.

I know which post you're referring to. You'll rarely hear this said about a man.
A couple more double standards to add to the list:
A man who's driven is called ambitious. A woman who's driven is called power hungry and if she has kids, she's often made to feel like a bad mother for wanting a career too.
A man can swear like a truck driver and get away with it. A woman who does it is called unlady-like.
A woman who sleeps with a married man is a homewrecker. A man who sleeps with a married woman is...Russell Crowe.
A man who rejects a woman because of her looks is called shallow. A woman who rejects a man because he doesn't make enough money...well, I rarely hear her being called shallow.
