Quote from Saved By The Bell - interesting double standard here, might amuse...

...some people? (Zack and Slater have destroyed a car and no one knows it was them except Jessie and Kelly)

Jessie: Slater, why don't you be a man and confess?
Slater: Jessie, why don't you be a woman and cook?

Is this the ultimate example of how men still have gender roles thrown at them but the reverse is considered utterly sexist? Phrases like "man up" and "be a man" (meaning "put up with it" rather than complain about injustices) are common in every day speech, if you used any such phrase with regard to women you'd likely be cast out by civilization.

Why is this and how can we change it?
