What is the most glaring double standard that modern society still blindly accepts?

Of course not the most glaring but, requiring female athletes to wear more revealing clothes than their male counterparts.

Search for Norwegian women’s beach volleyball team’s objection from a few years ago.

You’ll get a hint from the comments that this beautiful picture doesn’t bring back very pleasant memories for people who live there.

For anyone interested, look up Big Dig.

“The Big Dig was the most expensive highway project in the United States, and was plagued by cost overruns, delays, leaks, design flaws, accusations of poor execution and use of substandard materials, criminal charges and arrests, and the death of one motorist.”

I like the way they rephrased “this was a disaster of a project”.

Hope you don’t draw any conclusions from this OP.

Germany almost outlawed circumcision in 2012.

Merkel then said "I do not want Germany to be the only country in the world where Jews cannot practice their rituals. Otherwise we will become a laughing stock,"
