The bit of double standard is our lack of imagination when it comes to Vingans as grooms in marriage. The only occasion which has tackled Vingans in sexual relationships following the path of Orlanth has been KoDP's Aroka Quest which has the options for seduction etc. flipped during the Darkness encounters if you enter with a Vingan quester. All the stories and myths I have seen so far have Vinga in the tomboy role, not as a Vingan Niskis worshipper yet...
