[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2726916, member: 425"] Easily explainable if you consider the contextual/situational differences. My post about ingroup vs. outgroup processes is a great place to start, and it's references the exact context you mention. This example (the frat/basketball comparison, nor the "smash a woman's face" example) doesn't demonstrate a double standard. Working forward from the ingroup vs. outgroup perspective...in many cultures, it's acceptable to call each other "******"; however, if you aren't a member of that culture, and using the word in the correct cultural context, it isn't acceptable. This is true in all cultures and subcultures around the world, and is also observed in many non-human animal species. If you are part of the group, some things literally have a different meaning than if you are not part of the group. [/QUOTE]
