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.

Examples of double standards:
(About a male boss): "I love his take-charge attitude!"
(About a female boss): "She's such a bitch! She's probably on her period."
(About a man who has sex): "What an awesome stud/legend/boss he is!"
(About a woman who has sex): "What a disgusting slut/whore/skank she is!"

Double Standard. A concept that permits and excuses certain behaviors and actions from one group or person but violently opposes the same actions from another.
by hypocritical actions April 16, 2013
Being unfair with others yet enabling certain people to do what you didn't let the others do.
For example, you have a bowl of chips that everyone can eat from but you don't allow certain people at the party to have the chips.
Double Standards can also apply to genders. Like, it's not weird to see a woman wearing men's clothing but it's very odd to see a man wearing women's clothing. So double standards come in different circumstances.

(both men notice a shy girl)
Man 1: What's the matter with her?
Man 2: Oh, she's just shy.
Man 1: That's hot!
(the girls see Man 2)
Girl 1: What's his problem?
Girl 2: He isn't very social
Girl 1: What a creep!
Man 1: This is a Double Standard, my friends.

When someone is allowed to get away with something others arent. when a particular standard is applied to a certain group but not another. this doesn't necessarily apply to gender but everything.
Politicians complaining about pet projects and pork spending as a problem but still pushing their own through because theirs is obviously more okay is a great example of double standards.
The smaller pay black soldiers receive was also a double standard

From banning white people from saying a word, to men not being able to express themselves, thank you double standards for ruining the world.
