Double Standards...

[rockinhamburger]

We hear a lot about them. We're intimately familiar with them. We know the double standards that men and women are held to. We know the double standards that exist for straight people and for anyone who strays from the sexual 'norm'. Double standards are ever-present and difficult to ignore

it really is obvious. Even ignoring how basically every single teenager on Glee is getting some, let's look at every other tv show directed at teens, because fucking everybody gets laid all the time. What about that ABC Family show about all the pregnant teenagers? Isn't that show like, about teen sex? Jeez, that GQ shoot that Lea Michele and the other two whose names I can't remember did was more controversial than this, in my opinion. Maybe it wasn't GQ - some men's magazine. You probably know what I'm talking about

THIS. The double standard is ridiculous, and really freaking obvious. And this idea that the episode is encouraging teens to go have sex- uh, no, neither I nor any other teenager I know is gonnna go have sex because some TV characters do. What this episode IS doing is making viewers want to talk about sex, use protection, and have it in a loving and committed relationship. Gosh, that's so wrong!

In addition to which, I'm pissed because the homophobes in charge of TV saw fit to censor this episode- but not Finn and Rachel, mind, just Kurt and Blaine! Even though they were fully clothed the entire time and nothing overtly sexual was seen! Yep, a couple in love and intimate is really inappropriate for public consumption.

Yes. This.
