Applying different sets of rules to the same principals especially when they are both equally as bad
1- The word "fuck" is edited out from the daily newspaper, however the word "shit" and stories of a sexual nature are published without censorship and question even though all of these principals are taboo.
2 - The police can mace an aggressive criminal and get a "well done" yet a member of the public who even uses spray deoderant to fight off an attacker is placed under arrest even though the law permits people to use "such forces as they deem necessary" to defend oneself/home/property. THIS IS CONSIDERED AN ACT OF HIGH TREASON BY WAY OF THE GOVERNMENT LEVYING WAR UPON THERE OWN PEOPLE.
3 - Marijuana, a relatively harmless herb is outlawed yet tobacco which is highly addictive and kills 10x more people than road accidents a year is, why? BECAUSE BIG NAME TOBACCO PAY THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP POT ILLEGAL FOR FEAR IT WILL RUIN THEIR PRECIOUS TOBACCO CROP
all of these are a double standard

A double standard is a code or policy that favors one group or person over another. For example, a guy who is skinny is considered weak, while a girl who is skinny is considered beautiful. Double standards exist everywhere, but usually go unnoticed since people take the side of whoever the double standard is helping.
A rapist will get several years in jail while a false rape claim only gets a few months. This is a double standard.

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?"

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.
