We have come a long way in establishing gender equality today. But some imbalances between men and women still exist. There are several double standards society holds women to that do not apply to men.
TikToker Caylee Cresta (@cayleecresta) is talking about a clip in which a man criticizes a woman for not wearing makeup on their hiking date.
In the clip, a man and a woman are sitting cross-legged on a large boulder in the middle of the woods. It started out with the guy asking, “You didn’t want to wear makeup today?”
The woman expressed her surprise at her date’s question and laughed uncomfortably as he continued to voice his disapproval about her bare face and casual outfit.
The clip then transitioned to Caylee discussing the double standards that men place on women. In her video, she points out that the man had put zero effort into their date, yet he was mad that his date had put in the same amount of effort as him.
“And this just shows how women can never win because you’ll get mad when women wear makeup to the pool but more mad when women don’t wear makeup to the woods,” said Caylee.
She also clarifies that the man’s negative reaction was not really about the fact that the woman wasn’t wearing makeup.
Instead, it had everything to do with a bruised ego and his feeling hurt because the woman didn’t care enough to impress him.
Women are often criticized for wanting expensive dates; however, nobody ever talks about how many women are also satisfied with simple, low-cost outings, such as going on a walk or a hike.
But even though those types of dates are free, a lot of men still expect their dates to give them all they’ve got in order to meet their expectations.
“You’re the one who decided not to make an initial investment into meeting her. And if you don’t want to spend money on a first date, that’s fine, but don’t expect a woman to invest her time and energy into it when she’s equally as unsure about it as you are,” concluded Caylee.
Several TikTok users agreed with Caylee’s message and offered their opinions in the comments section.
“When I matched my ex’s energy, we divorced. They can’t handle being treated the way they treat you,” commented one user.
“I know this type of men. If she had worn makeup, he would have made fun of her for wearing it to go for a hike. Run,” stated another.
“I didn’t realize we had to wear ball gowns to the freakin woods,” chimed in a third.
