Under the folder for tropes that are sexist against men, would it be a good idea to add the trope AManIsNotAVirgin to the list. The double-standard there is that a woman who is a virgin is considered to have done something good while if a man is a virgin he is often viewed as inferior or having some kind of problem.

On a side note this discussion section appears to display a double-standard; so many comments lined up to console women about the double-standards against them, but any mention of the gender-based discrimination men have faced is met with scorn. That should not be.

I agree with Stoogebie. While the sexism-based double standards have been addressed I must say I somewhat agree with the other point he raised. There is an anti-religious bias on this site among some tropers and (judging by how certain comments is allowed to remain) among some of the moderators as well (to what degree is unknown). Stoogebie you\'re spot on about how those militant atheists indulge in the NoTrueScotsman fallacy, yet were a religious person such as myself to do so, they would be in an uproar.
