A concept that permits and excuses certain behaviors and actions from one group but violently opposes the same actions from another.
For example.
A bitchy self serving controlling female who steps all over men and uses them for her own selfish benefits is considered a STRONG WOMAN.
But
A self serving controlling man who steps all over women and uses them for his own selfish benefits is considered a MALE CHAUVINIST PIG.
A black comedian whose entire act is poking fun at the way white people talk, walk, dress, dance, & act is a comic genius who gets rewarded millions a year and is catapulted into fame and stardom.
But
A white comedian who pokes fun at the way black people walk, talk, dress, and act is a racist pig who will get booed off the stage and his career is forever tarnished.

Woman: "I chose not to get married or have kids to pursue a career."
Feminist: "You go girl. So glad to see a fellow sister stand on her own two feet and maintain her independence and individuality and not submit herself to the oppressive patriarchy"
Woman: "Why thank you. I also heard that Eddie also decided not to get married or have kids to pursue his career".
Feminist: "What's wrong with him? Afraid of commitment? Too irresponsible to be a father? So shallow that he puts money and a career above having a family?"
Woman: (Thinking to herself) "Hmm isn't that a double standard?"

Get the double standard mug.A set of principles permitting greater opportunity or liberty to one than to another, especially the granting of greater sexual freedom to men than to women.
If a male has lots of sex, he's looked well upon.
If a female has lots of sex, she is considered a slut.

Get the double standard mug.When two groups are judged against different standards. The most commonly cited example: a promiscuous man is a player/pimp but a promiscuous woman is a slut/ho.
double standards aren't fair sometimes, but think about it...
a key that can open a lot of locks is an AWESOME key, but a lock that can be opened by a lot of keys is just a very shitty lock.

Get the double standard mug.The practice by females of using female sex as a disability instead of doing the right thing and litigating for the responsibility of selective service.
There are more lesbians in the state of Florida litigating for the responsibility of adoptive motherhood than there are women throughout the United States litigating for the responsibility of selective service.
Males cannot challenge the constitutionality of all-male selective service because they cannot specificially request in their lawsuit a particular ruling that changes military policy.
Women will try to use every bullshit argument when confronted with their own selfishness. Some women have the nerve to call selective service an "artifact," saying it was used "as far back as 1973". Archeologists do not look for artifacts from 34 years ago and the penalties for non-compliance with selective service registration will be enforced for the forseeable future.
Women will try to say that women do not owe men anything despite:
1) the fact that mostly male politicians ratified the 19th Amendment,
2) gave women Title IX (which eviscerated men's sports, contrary to what that cunt Donna Lopiano would like you to believe),
3) refused (in 15 states, most notably Illinois) to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment because women balked (again, most notably in Illinois) at losing their free ride during wartime,
4) made sure that women would be paid the same amount of money for doing the same work as a similar man (so a woman who has never been married and has no kids would make as much money as a man who has also never been married and has no kids)
and 5) legalized no-fault divorce, most of which are initiated by women for spurious reasons, leading to men with almost no custody of their children and whorebag, I mean, ex-wife, I mean "child support" payments that the ex-wife can spend on an SUV despite having children who will not get their learner's permits for a decade.
Women's refusal to demand responsibilities is indicative of how immoral feminism is in the United States. There is nothing communist or fascist or unpatriotic about feeling that responsibilities should apply to everybody.

The refusal of women to demand selective service reveals American feminism's double standard of equality between men and women at the top but female superiority at the bottom.

Get the Double Standard mug.Some more examples of double standards:
A musician in any other form of music sings about a problem. Nothing happens. But when a singer in the pop music field sings about a problem, they get dissed, having the disser falsely believe that the star has everything and shouldn't complain.
At my job, there are quite a few male consumers who have female staff. But the number of female consumers having male staff is extremely rare. There are a couple of exceptions to that rule, though.
A woman rapes a boy and marries him because she is pregnant with his child. They appear on the news. A man rapes a girl and the girl is pregnant with his child. Nothing else happens to them.
A woman cries. Nothing more happens to her. A man cries. He gets taunted and teased because he's been told that men don't cry.
Black musicians get the Tv station BET. White musicians don't get anything like that. If they did, they'd be considered racist.
A disabled person gets made fun of because of something they do. The insulter gets away with the taunting. If the disabled person fights back, they get the punishment.

Get the double standard mug.The Double Standard is of the liberal's greatest weapon. For example: Biden can say he will nuke America, they won't care. However when Trump posts something stupid on Twitter, it's "ahhhhhh! HE'S A WHITE SUPREMACIST! AHHHHH".
Reporter: Hey, can I post about how the US agent refused to give evidence of Russia's "attack" on Ukraine to your platform.
Jack Dorsey: Sorry, we don't allow fake news.
Feminist: Uhh! These men were trying to rape me because they kept saying that having kids are good.
Jack Dorsey: Yeah, common White Supremacists probably.
Reporter: Now that sounded suspicious.
Jack Dorsey: Imagine what would happen if I allowed fake news on my platform.
Reporter: f*ck you and your Double Standard!
