Editing Double standard (section)

===Gender===
It has long been debated how someone's [[gender role]] affects others' [[moral]], [[social]], [[Politics|political]] and [[Law|legal]] responses. Some believe that differences in the way men and women are perceived and treated is a function of social norms, thus indicating a double standard. For example, one claim is that a double standard exists in society's judgment of women's and men's sexual conduct. Research has found that casual sexual activity is regarded as more acceptable for men than for women.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Vrangalova Ph.D. |first1=Zhana |title=Is Our Sexual Double Standard Going Away? |url=https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/strictly-casual/201403/is-our-sexual-double-standard-going-away |work=[[Psychology Today]] |publisher=[[Sussex Publishers]], LLC |access-date=20 February 2019 |format=Web article |date=3 March 2014}}</ref> According to William G Axinn,<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Axinn |first1=William G. |last2=Young-DeMarco |first2=Linda |last3=Ro |first3=Meeso Caponi |date=2011-03-01 |title=Gender Double Standards in Parenting Attitudes |journal=Social Science Research |volume=40 |issue=2 |pages=417–432 |doi=10.1016/j.ssresearch.2010.08.010 |issn=0049-089X |pmc=3035381 |pmid=21318125}}</ref> double standards between men and women can potentially exist with regards to: [[dating]], [[cohabitation]], [[virginity]], [[marriage]]/[[remarriage]], [[sexual abuse]]/[[Sexual assault|assault]]/[[Sexual harassment|harassment]], [[domestic violence]] and [[singleness]].

Kennair et al. (2023) found no signs on a sexual double standard in long or short-term mating contexts, nor in choosing a friend. They did find however that women's self-stimulation was judged positively, and men's self-stimulation was judged negatively.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Examining the Sexual Double Standards and Hypocrisy in Partner Suitability Appraisals Within a Norwegian Sample|journal=Evolutionary Psychology|author=Leif Edward Ottesen Kennair, Andrew G.
