For my common place paper I want to write about the double standard that society has about men women and sex. The fact that our society can call a man a pimp and a bachelor for having promiscuous sex and never settling down but a woman is called an old maid or a whore for doing the same. Obviously as a girl this is offensive towards me due to equal rights. Whatever I want to do I should be allowed to do regardless of whether I have a penis or not. I want to specifically relate this to modern television programs and the perfect example is the MTV hit Jersey Shore. Throughout this reality train wreck the men kiss and sleep with multiple women at least in the same week but more then not in the same day. When one of the girls does this they decide it is necessary to call her a whore and tell the boy that she has been seeing regularly what she has done. Does this not sound a tad hypocritical to you? There are many other such examples of this throughout television but Jersey Shore has about a billion different examples between two seasons. The problem with this is that this display of hypocrisy is being viewed by our nations youth and promoting these awful morale values on to the young men of our society today. This is something that needs to be addressed and stopped. Even though Jersey Shore may still be entertaining.
