The sexual double standard today is

• A. Is still around today in the same form
• B. Is non-existent today in any form
• C. Is more subtle today, but a person's sex can still influence people's evaluation of his or her sexual experiences
• D. Is more subtle today, but gender influences evaluation equally

Answer: (A)

The question is about whether the sexual double standard persists in today’s attitudes. The best answer reflects that the basic pattern remains: gender still influences how people judge someone’s sexual experiences. In modern life, men’s sexual activity is often viewed more positively, while women’s sexual activity can still be judged negatively or more harshly. Even though these judgments have become more nuanced and context-dependent, the underlying bias is still present in many settings—dating norms, media portrayals, and everyday conversations. That’s why this option captures the continuing influence of the double standard.

The other possibilities aren’t as accurate because the standard isn’t completely gone, nor is it truly equal in how it affects evaluations of men and women. It’s also not accurate to say it’s entirely non-existent in any form.
