"It's just that the whole idea of having a double standard and then applying it to other people is kind of silly." "But I think if you're going to have a double standard, you might as well have a single standard." "I don't know what your point is. You seem to be saying that there are two standards: one for men and another for women. But why should we accept that? Why not just say that all people are equal and treat everyone the same way?" "Because sometimes it's easier to make exceptions for certain groups of people than it is to try and find a solution that works for everyone. And maybe that's where our society goes wrong. We create these rules and regulations because we want things to be fair, but in reality, they often aren't. So instead of trying to fix the system from within, we end up creating more problems by making exceptions here and there." "That doesn't sound very hopeful. Do you think there's any way we can change this? Or do you believe that things will never get better?" "Well, I don't know about 'never', but I do think that if we keep doing what we're doing now, nothing is going to change. And until someone comes along with a new idea or approach, we'll just be stuck in this cycle of creating problems and trying to solve them with more problems." "So what's the solution? How do we break out of this cycle?" "I don't know yet. But I think it starts with questioning our assumptions and beliefs about how things should work. If we start asking ourselves why certain rules exist and whether they really make sense, maybe we can begin to see where things are going wrong and figure out how to fix them." "That sounds like a good place to start. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me."
