Charts of expectations

Since I'm a nerd, I like visual aids. So I threw together a couple charts to show what I think was going on before and after the sexual revolution, in regards to standards of sexual behavior for men and women.

Before: Inequality! People expect a lot more out of women than men!

After: Equality! But unfortunately that's because we drastically lowered expectations.

Ideal After: Equality! Because we raised expectations to be the same for everyone.

Perhaps More Realistic After: Equality! Because the expectations leveled out and met in the middle.

Certainly I've simplified, but what would you say? Do you think I've got the height of these bars wrong anywhere? Should I have added standard deviations or anything? :)
