Default Why does it seem like it's socially acceptable for girls to be sexist?

I have noticed that if a guy says something bad about girls in general, he is called a sexist. That guy would also get some really strong opposition for what he said (and for good reason).

However, when a girl does the same thing about a guy, she gets kudos and "nice job" and all kinds of support for her sexism. Often times guys support these girls that say offensive things about guys.

Seriously? WTF? It's not cool no matter what gender you are to bash the other gender. It's just as wrong to call girls an offensive name as it is to call guys an offensive name. If a guy does or says it to/about a girl and it's sexist, it's also sexist when a girl does or says it to/about a guy. Generalizations are never true.

It's socially acceptable for girls to be sexist, because it's socially acceptable for girls to be sexist. It's impossible to give a reason other than a double-standard. If it bothers you, be sexist. Just watch out for flying pots and pans for the kitchen.

Double Standard
When a situation is desireable for one group but deplorable for another. Typically used in reasons to support feminists feminazi, but completely ignoring the terrible double standard favoring them.
1) a) A father sexually/physically assults his daughter at a young age. She grows up to fear men and strives to stay away from them. ACCEPTABLE

b) A mother sexually/Physically assults her son at young age. He grows up to fear women and strives to stay away from them. LABLED AS PROFILING WOMEN AS EVIL AND UNACCEPTABLE.

2) A) A group of girls sees a male walking through a mall. They think he is attractive, and make comments about his butt, abbs, or crotch and giggle loudly. ACCEPTABLE

B) A group of boys see a female walking through a mall. They think she is attractive, and make comments about her butt, abs, or breasts while laughing. LABLED AS PIGS WHO ARE ACTING INAPPROPRIATE, TREATING THE GIRL LIKE AN OBJECT

3) A) A married woman does not have a job because she feels that it is the mans place to support his family and survives on his paycheck. ACCEPTABLE

B) A married man does not have a job because he feels that it is the womans place to support her family and survives on her paycheck. LABLED AS AN ABUSIVE HUSBAND WHO TAKES ADVANTAGE OF HIS WIFE

I'm a girl and I find this thread to be extremely sexist towards women.

Because the world ain't perfect and it never will be. I'm resisting the urge to Al Bundy this thread up.

But seriously, there is no way for you to tell if it's socially accepted by all. That's generalization on your part.

It's a double-standard. Like how it's socially acceptable for girls to like stuff meant for guys but when guys like something intended for girls it suddenly becomes an issue. (Example: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)

I said seem. I have noticed little to no opposition for this. I know it's not the case 100% of the time, so I included the word "seem". I meant it like someone who says "almost always". When you say always it's a generalization and almost always means it happens a great majority of the time.
