I look over to her and she just smiled and turned red, the second she saw my hand reach for her, she just said bluntly. "You try to grab and I will smack the shit out of you." Now we aren't boy friend and girl friend but still.... I didn't quite get the justification there :/
To be frank, I think this is a bullshit example. Unless she was trying to make some sort of metaphor about how women are objectified without their consent, she was fucking with you. This isn't a social issue, this is a personal one.

Agreed that isn't a double standard sounds like she was just messing with your head and it worked to great lengths, but women are a mystery honestly I would just say either ask her or drop it, because at the end of the day she's the only one that knows the answer.

This double standard has a very simple explanation. If you have a lock that gets opened by many keys, guess what its a shitty lock. On the other hand if you have a key that can open any door, well that's a master key. I'm sure all of you can deduce what represents what in this situation
Double standards exist because there are norms in our society which must be adhered to. This is a patriarchal society, despite the cries of others vehemently denying this fact. So any achievement by women is applauded as it is not the norm. The same is true of minority groups.
This is one of the sad facts of life, someone will always be better off than someone else

This situation didn't play to generalizations like that very well. The girl grabbed his ass, fine then he grabbed hers and she overreacts as offended and disgusted. To me, that didn't sound like a legitimate reaction that normal people would have and I assumed she was joking around. If this is the way all girls react to this chain of events then I would see your point but it sounds more like friends fooling around.
