Need a reminder of the sexist double standards that pervade every aspect of our culture? Here you go! (via Huffington Post):

CougarLife, a dating website for women “looking to catch younger men,” has accused Google of sexism, claiming that the company deemed its web ads “non-family safe,” while condoning as “family-safe” Internet ads for “sugar daddy-type” sites.

According to CougarLife’s founder Claudia Opdenkelder, a Google account manager toldher that promoting liaisons between older women and younger men was “unsafe for family audiences, even if the ads contain no sexually suggestive words or images”–while sites aimed at connecting older men with younger women received no such restrictions.
