Where do you see the DoubleStandard? Korra does show trauma after that encounter (immediately afterward and she\\\'s shown to be rattled whenever she hears his voice on the radio), and Tahno- you know, male-is shown to be even more so traumatized (actually,it kind of plays like a symbolic RapeAsRedemption) so it\\\'s not like the show plays up the debending of a female character and downplays that of a male character.
Bloodbending didn\\\'t really get a \\\"rape metaphor\\\" in the original series, regardless of who was doing it and the gender of their victim(s). It was basically presented as BlackMagic/a magical form of torture that was not ok for anyone to use.
Edit- Granted, depending wasn\\\'t presented as rape when Amon did it to those male gangsters (and was going to do it to Bolin); it was more like a public execution metaphor.
