Mathematically speaking, the obnoxious idea that it's OK for 56 to insult 82, but it's NOT OK for 82 to insult 56. Of course, 56 and 82 can be replaced with many different races, religions, etc.

Get the rust standard mug.A girl who preaches that men should look past her looks and see her personality, but harshly judges men based on their appearances.
Deborah: Ugh, I hate men! All men want these days is a barbie doll with huge boobs and a big ass! They only marry the girls who look like strippers! Why can't a guy just accept me for me and love me the way I am?!
Jane: Well, Haiden likes you. Wanna try dating him?
Deborah: Hell no, he's 5'5 and works as a cashier. If a man's not at least 6'0 tall, he don't deserve me.
Jane: You're a Double-Standard Debbie. It's no wonder you're single.

It's been two years since I've been counting my macros and I still haven't reached the theoretical plate standard; I might need to go on gear.
