It’s more about preferences. Things aren’t inherently bad because they are double standards. For example, I could say “Women want a ma who is over 6ft but they are never over 6ft themselves”. The reason for the double standard you mentioned and the double standard I mentioned is a gap in expectations each gender has for one another. In either case the difference arises because men and women are attracted to different things. Men are attracted to less hair on a women and women to height on guys
I completely understand your point, but i’m a girl who shaves at least 2 times a week. Having a boyfriend make a comment about a little bit of hair, i’m taking hair that grew back in a day or 2 so it was obviously not long is kind of ridiculous. it’s not like i’m walking around with long ass hair everywhere bc that’s not how i am and i feel yucky but the audacity some men have. i get expectations and attraction but my situation was different. can’t be shaved and smooth 24/7
