Double Standard Dictionary: A Guide to Things That Are Only "Problems" When Women Do Them
Let's have an honest conversation about something that drives me absolutely crazy. You know those little comments and judgments that somehow only seem to apply to women? Yeah, we need to talk about that.
The Professional Edition
When men vs. when women do the exact same thing:
He's assertive → She's aggressive
He's focused → She's cold
He's passionate → She's emotional
He's dedicated → She's obsessed
He's confident → She's arrogant
He's strategic → She's manipulative
He's busy → She's neglecting her life
The Dating Double Standards
The classics that never seem to die:
He's dated around → She has "a past"
He's a bachelor → She's "left on the shelf"
He's selective → She's picky
He's career-focused → She's married to her job
He's a social butterfly → She's attention-seeking
He's "finding himself" → She needs to settle down
He's direct → She's desperate
The Appearance Police
The endless contradictions:
Look professional, but not too try-hard
Be attractive, but not attention-seeking
Wear makeup, but keep it "natural"
Be fit, but not too muscular
Dress well, but not too sexy
Look youthful, but not immature
Age gracefully, but never look old
The Emotion Edition
How it's perceived:
His anger is justified → Her anger is hysteria
His sadness is deep → Her sadness is dramatic
His stress is from hard work → Her stress is from "not coping"
His excitement is enthusiasm → Her excitement is over-the-top
His concerns are valid → Her concerns are paranoid
His anxiety is pressure → Her anxiety is weakness
The Family Chronicles
The never-ending judgment:
He's babysitting → She's just parenting
He's helping around the house → She's doing her job
He's focused on work → She's neglecting family
He needs time to himself → She's selfish
He's weighing his options → She's wasting time
He's figuring out what he wants → Her clock is ticking
The Office Politics
Things I'm tired of seeing:
Men get mentored → Women get hit on
Men network → Women "sleep their way up"
Men are busy → Women "can't handle it"
Men are thorough → Women are perfectionists
Men delegate → Women are lazy
Men need work-life balance → Women are uncommitted
The Social Scene
The ridiculous expectations:
Be fun but not too wild
Be social but not too friendly
Be smart but not intimidating
Be successful but not threatening
Be independent but not difficult
Be strong but still need help
Be confident but still humble
The Success Paradox
What we're dealing with:
Be ambitious but not threatening
Lead but don't be bossy
Achieve but don't outshine
Negotiate but don't be demanding
Succeed but stay likeable
Excel but remain modest
Win but make it look effortless
The Reality Check
What this actually means for us:
Constant second-guessing
Walking on eggshells
Energy drain from overthinking
Imposter syndrome
Reduced authenticity
Limited self-expression
Unnecessary stress
The Way Forward
What we can do about it:
Call it out
Name the double standard
Question the logic
Point out the inconsistency
Support other women
2. Break the patterns
Reject unfair labels
Define success personally
Set our own standards
Celebrate authenticity
3. Change the narrative
Share success stories
Highlight achievements
Create new networks
Mentor others
To Every Woman Dealing With This
Remember:
You're not "too much"
Your achievements are earned
Your feelings are valid
Your ambitions are worthy
Your standards are important
Your voice matters
Your path is yours

This might be my last ask, so here it goes.
i want to thank you for listening to me this intently... and giving help when I felt hopeless.... and to all those reading, a Directioner or not, I'm not putting out my feelings on the internet to seek attention... I'm doing it so at the least a few people who share my pain can get their questions answered and feel validated.... and not alone.... we are here for each other... as Directioners.... and as humans.... as this bunch of people who shared a music taste in the past.... to mourning a dear member... we are in this together..... you are not alone.. any and all pain you feel is validated.... and please talk to someone... me, they, someone who's ready to listen.... we're here.... and mental health is no joke.... so please check up on your loved ones and those who seem to be struggling... maybe you could be to them what One Direction was to us at a point... help people.... be kind.... show love... and stay strong...
and one last request... as hard as the funeral might be for us, it's harder on the people close to Liam.... he was a son, a brother to 2 sisters and 4 brothers..... a father to dear little Bear... and a BF... an inspiration... a light in the dark times and a sweet soul..... so please please respect their time of grievance and let them have their moment.... y'all have to realize Niall performed knowing he and Liam had come together to Argentina but he's gonna have to leave alone.... Zayn has to live with the fact that they weren't on the best terms in his last days and cancelling his tour.... Louis faces a particularly harsh reality that he has to be an uncle to Bear without Liam being there with them.... and Harry has to live with the fact that one day... he might outgrow Liam... be 32... they are grieving too... they are in much harsher pain than us, and I urge you, every one of you, to respect the.... they owe us no explanation.... don't go up to them for photos and such... and please do not see the funeral as a reunion, but as a final goodbye.... because "goodbyes are bittersweet.... but it's not the end.... I'll see your face... again".... (Niall Horan in "Walking in the wind" album: Made in the A.M.")
and finally, I know it might be late to say this but.... dear Liam... if you can see/hear this somehow.... i want to thank you.... thank you for the memories... the laughs.. the tears... the lyric changes... the water fights and all the fun moments.... I'm glad I could hear your music ever.... and I'm sorry.... I'm sorry you had to go through what you had to.... but we're always proud of you, champ..... we love you... and we miss you.... rest easy.... and hope you're happier wherever you are...
Liam James Payne 29/08/1993 - 16/10/2024
Love, Directioner....
you don’t have to thank me for listening! and your message is beautiful ❤️🩹, if you ever need anyone to talk to, my dms/asks are always open 🫂

Do you ever feel…. fake? the feeling of non-genuinity…. I'm that right now.... the nagging in the head… that often reminds me that I was never a Liam fan… and I'm doing this as a way to cope with his death and… feel better about myself… to reassure myself that I couldn't have done something…. it was out of my reach and that… it wasn't my fault…. but not really listening to it out of fandom or favouritism….. and that thought is tormenting me so much so that I can't physically bring myself to listen to any of his or One Direction songs anymore…. and I hate it... i don't want to not be able to listen to them..... it's just a weird feeling and I... don't like it.....
yeah, i get you.
i wasn’t really a liam fan either, he wasn’t my fav out of the one direction lads either but it’s still okay to be sad
there’s people out there who only listen to 1D and none of his solo music, that doesn’t make them any less valid for their pain.
i think part of reeling from the fact that he’s actually passed is disassociating, putting yourself on the outside can help.
it’s okay that you weren’t as involved as you used to be. you don’t need to justify yourself to anyone, if your feelings are genuine then you would know.
you wouldn’t be upset and crying if your feelings weren’t genuine ❤️🩹
i have bouts of when i can and can’t listen to their music, recently i haven’t been able to. that’s okay, i think it will come with time.
there’s a lot of good memories in their music and i don’t think his death will taint those. give it time, you can always start small by listening to the other boys’ solo music before listening to one direction.
it gets better, it gets easier to handle. the only thing is that you need to give yourself time to grieve and recover.
it won’t come instantly and it’s okay. just because you can’t listen to them now doesn’t mean that you never will

As much as I want to believe that it isn't my fault... I just can't seem to bring myself to do it.... like somehow... a part of me... a part of my childhood... a part of my mind that still believed One Direction would be back, died along with Liam... and hell, I'd not even want a reunion, if I can somehow bring him back to life... and on the other hand... I've been so out of touch with what's going on with the boys, that all these allegations on him... that too after he passed... it's tearing my mind apart... I want to tell myself that that wasn't the Payno we knew... the Payno I grew up listening to... the one who could bring a smile on anyone's face.... the dance master Leeroy... the one afraid of fucking spoons, ridiculous, isn't it..? the silliness... the person himself.... I'm not willing to believe that he... he got so bad... that everyone let it get so bad... that somehow I was a part of it too... idk... can't stop that nagging feeling....
As a fan of Justin Bieber AND One Direction, I'm truly scared for what might happen to Justin now... the Biebers have a son... I don't want to, can't, lose another of my favourite artists.... he was on the pedestal since a young age too, and has been through similar shot.... and I'm terrified.... (sorry for the side track)
Now AFTER his death when I learn about him being an abuser and how MUCH people bash him and be unempathetic about it.... I hate myself for even considering stopping supporting him and mourning him... honestly, that thought crossed my m mind... I went... "Am I mourning the wrong person..? Should I be happy that an abuser d¡ed... or sad that he was Liam.... or surprised that Liam could even do that, or empathize with him that it was his coping mechanism.... but it isn't good... but he was good... but he isn't..." and that feeling summed up in a few words beautifully goes like.... "I'm mourning a person who was a part and parcel of my inner child that didn't heal.... but that doesn't mean my older self blindsides his wrongdoings... I'm mourning what Liam was to me... and how his life had become.... also while sympathy with the victim.... who somehow ALSO lost someone MUCH MUCH more important.... her son's father..."
I'll come in with another ask to continue, also I fell asleep (with a lot of struggle) so sorry for the late reply... (sorry if I'm bugging you...)
it’s okay not to believe that it’s not your fault, there will be people out there to remind you, and with time i think you’ll start to understand that it’s not.
emotions are tricky, because your grief is so raw everything feels magnified. in time, and with healing you’ll be able to see the bigger picture.
don’t worry about it right now, feeling your emotions is so good for understanding yourself. it helps you process your grief.
there’s so many things about grief that doesn’t make sense. wanting liam alive doesn’t make you a bad person, there are millions of people on this earth that wish they could’ve changed his fate.
just because liam was an abuser does not make him any less worth being mourned. there are people out there that have done worse, that are alive and they still have huge fandoms and people that listen to their music.
and i understand the piece of you that died when liam did, i think a lot of directioners can understand that feeling. there is no one direction without all of the boys.
them losing liam was us losing one direction really, and that leaves a big hole within our childhoods and within a lot of our primitive teenage years.
as for justin, i’m not really in his fandom but i do enjoy his music. and i can empathize with your fear. justin’s clean from my understanding, and has been since he’s been married to hailey.
your fears aren’t entirely unfounded but i do think that it’s better not to work yourself over possibilities of what could happen if he relapses. it does nobody any good, especially you.
it sounds easier said than done but justin is the only one who has control over his own life, we need to let him make his own decisions like we did with liam.
we can’t control him, that can only lead to negative outcomes. he knows himself better than anyone else in his life and deserves the right to have his fans and people around him believe that he’ll make the right choices.
it doesn’t make you a bad person to have conflicting feelings about liam’s passing. i did, i didn’t mourn him really at all in the first 24hrs of hearing he passed.
my friends aren’t fans of one direction/liam so they were very much more objective about liam’s passing than i thought i could be.
i thought i had to react a certain way, i didn’t have any right to be sad because i didn’t know him, and he was an abuser.
that’s wrong, you’re entitled to feel however you want to feel. mourn him if you want, don’t if you don’t. it really is that simple.
you don’t have control over how other people react so there will be people out there that are less emotionally attached than fans are, but that doesn’t make your pain any less valid.
it’s okay to be conflicted, liam was a huge part of you. and yes, exactly. mourning liam does not discredit any of the abuse that maya went through.
don’t worry about bugging me, you’re always welcome!! or falling asleep! i just woke up so if you don’t mind me replying 6hrs later then we’re all good 🫂.

Idk where to start, man... I literally got to know this news through a reply on my comment on Instagram... and for a second... I was like "nah... bs" and I went to sleep... the next day I open my phone and boom.... everything is flooding... my heart is cracking every moment.... due to time lines, here is 20th now (early morning) so it's been 3 days since the news... first day I was in denial, second, pain, third hurt the most... panic attacks and crying uncontrollably.... he'll... funny thing is... my mom was angry at me... her exact words were "why are you crying for him?? Who is he?? If you cry I'm not talking to you anymore" Well, mother.... how do I tell you... he was a part of the 5 that saved me when I needed you... and you didn't come... how can I tell you... he's a stranger... but with so many memories... I was 4 when One Direction was formed, 9 when they disbanded... 13 when I found them.... I might not be a die hard fan... but I knew the little things... the water fights, the fear of spoons, the color blindness.... the fights, the diaries, the lyric changes on stage.... the boys, that somehow shaped my present now and future then.... how do I forgive myself for not following with them and their solo careers... I feel like I've failed them all as a Directioner... I couldn't keep up with them after they disbanded.... I couldn't help Liam... I couldn't keep Payno alive... I couldn't save the boy who saved me... and I'll forever regret that...
it’s not your fault, and it will never be your fault 🫂
i can tell you from my own experience that people that have never listened to or were’nt fans of liam/one direction do not understand.
a lot of them think more objectively than fans will, they are more likely to have less empathy about liam passing.
your mom’s anger is displaced, do not internalize it. don’t let her tell you how to mourn, liam was important to you and nobody can tell you how to grieve. crying is normal, feel your grief, let it remind you of the fact that liam was so so loved by many fans ❤️🩹
something that really helps me with panic attacks is cold things, like a towel drenched in cold water or cold air, cold water. something to shock your system out of a state of anxiety.
liam did some really horrible things but he shaped your life, he saved you and that’s something that counts. just because he fucked up doesn’t make him any less human.
nobody in this world is truly good, people who make it seem so black and white are ignorant. a lot of messed up shit happened to liam and he coped the best way he could.
that doesn’t negate the fact that what he did to maya and others was unforgivable but it does help to empathize of what was someone who should have gotten help, someone who deserved the chance to take accountability.
not keeping up with their solo careers also does not make you any less of a fan nor does it discredit your grief. i haven’t listened to a lot of liam’s solo music but i can listen to it now and grieve over the boy who deserved a lot more
you haven’t failed them and there’s nothing to forgive, if anything your grief is a reminder of all the love you hold in your heart for all of the boys, especially liam.
it hurts because you care, and that’s okay. it wasn’t your job to save him, i know it feels like it was within your control to help him, but it wasn’t.
liam was sick, he needed help but he never got the chance to fix his mistakes. that is not on us, only liam had the ability to write his wrongs.
grief is not logical, because logically there was no way for you to know how badly he was hurting. liam knew there were fans that loved him, he knew there were people around him that loved him.
only liam knew what was going through his mind before his passing, none of us will ever have closure and that might be the worst part about grieving him.
but what we can do is remember him, remember the boy he was and what he could have been.

Landoscar assassins AU
Masterlist
AN: Wrote this after Monza, never fleshed it out more but here you go
CW: mentions of violence, weapons but nobody really uses them
≈200 words
Oscar knows exactly that he isn‘t alone. That didn‘t stop him from making himself a coffee and putter around in his kitchen like every other morning. It would have been an almost serene scene, if it wasnt for the gun shoved into the front of his joggers.
"That was my target you killed." The blade pressed to Oscar‘s throat breaks skin just slightly, a small warm drop of blood sliding down his adams apple.
"Was it?"
"You know damn well it was," Lando spits.
"Papaya Rules, Lando."
"Oh fuck off."
The agency has a clear cut code, the Papaya Rules. Capital letters. If Zak wouldn‘t be on his ass about them all the time, Lando would have ripped out Oscars throat all the way back in Hungary. Now he stands in the younger mans kitchen, at a stalemate with his knife pressed to Oscars windpipe and the Australians gun to Landos chest. Both of them are too stubborn to be the first to crack, even though they both know the small cut on Oscars throat is the only blood that will be spilled between them. At least today.
After what feels like an eternity, Oscar drops the gun and sighs.
It makes Landos bloodlust even worse.

Red Bull v Monster
Scenario: Max is sponsored by Red Bull and Y/N is sponsored by Monster and their entire relationship is perpetuated by trying to convince the other their sponsor has the best energy drink.
Red Bull and Monster 2 very different brands with very different identities, so when the current BMX Champion Y/N
L/N got in a relationship with Red Bull F1 World Champion Max Verstappen the main topic of conversation in the media is that the two are sponsored by very different energy drinks that are in constant competition with each other.
When the two first announced their relationship they never expected the biggest controversy to arise from an energy drink well two energy drinks.
With two very different sponsors the couple have made it their ultimate goal to promote their sponsor as best as they can by overshadowing the others. Taking logo stickers and placing them over the others logo or trying their hardest to get the other into trouble.
The two have constantly been seen publicly trying to entice one another to drink the opposing sponsor's drink but to no avail.
Y/N despises Red Bull and Max despises Monster. It's pretty clear the two have no interest in drinking the other sponsor's drink but it doesn't mean they don't try to get one another to.
For a TikTok video Y/N decided to pour out the contents of Max's Red Bull can and fill it with Monster he then handed Max the can whilst he was gaming live, he then waited for Max to take a sip and prepared to run away because he knew Max wouldn't accept or appreciate this.
The sound of Max shouting at the game he was playing echoed throughout their apartment and Max was getting angrier at whatever game he was playing this time and then it went quiet for a second.
"Y/N WHAT IS THIS SHIT", this is the sign Max has finally taken a sip and Y/N takes off running with the sound of Max's footsteps following behind him.
On another occasion during a race weekend for Y/N, Max had gone into his tent where all his stuff is and placed a Red Bull sticker on his helmet that covered up the Monster logo, Y/N had then gone out sponsoring Red Bull. This led to him getting in trouble with his team and probably almost killing Max.
In one of Max's post race interview the interviewer asked him what does Y/N think of his Red Bull sponsor and Max replied "Y/N loves Red Bull he just pretends he doesn't he even told me that it's better than Monster"
Safe to say Y/N didn't take this well nor did his team, Red Bull on the other hand did. The two companies have also participated in the games, constantly taking to social media. One time Monster posted a tweet saying "We are happy to announce Max Verstappen will be participating in the BMX Championship sponsored by Monster".
As well as trying to get the other to drink their sponsor's drink they have had countless arguments about which is the best. These arguments are normally started by someone in their chat when they go live trying to create drama and it normally works and it is very entertaining to watch for viewers but mind numbingly annoying for Max and Y/N who can't convince the other of their opinion.

Avengers on a mission:
Bruce: Well, that went good!
Steve: Yeah, surprisingly.
Rhodey: It’s… too quiet. Now that I think about it, the whole battle was too quiet.
Tony, holding up his hand in the front: where’s the kid.
Pan over to Peter who is playing with puppies he saw halfway to the battle.
