\\\"Obviously a form of Double Standard. A man carrying someone is considered omnipresent, since men excel in the physical department.\\\"

Not to complain, but a gender norm doesn\\\'t automatically mean a DoubleStandard. Scientific proof dictates that, on average, men tend to have more upper-body strength than women. The term now seems synonymous with \\\"any separate set of expected gender roles\\\". It is starting to become almost as [[YouKeepUsingThatWord overused (and perhaps even misused)]] as UnfortunateImplications.

It is starting to become almost as [[YouKeepUsingThatWord overused (and perhaps even misused)]] as UnfortunateImplications. I don\\\'t consider this an \\\"obvious\\\" double standard, since this trope is simply subverting common gender expectations and not, for instance, insinuating that a woman who demonstrates [[EffortlessAmazonianLift this trope]] is some kind of BrawnHilda that [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon no guy wants]].
