For example workplace harrasment by women towards males like touching or groping being ignored because the victim is male but if it where to happen to a woman by a male the male would be fired

    Men are often expected to swallow their emotions and just “function”, while women are allowed and even encouraged to display them openly

      I would counter this and say any woman with a career can absolutely not show emotion. They’re expected to behave like men, which are in turn not supposed to show emotion in the workplace. It’s less of a double standard and more of a toxic standard.

        Commenter didn’t say work. It’s true in all circumstances.

        You recognizing it as true in the work place by understanding women are expected to be like men in the work place. Because men are not expected to show emotions.

        Your counter is actually an example.
