Standard Sister-in-Law Unit
noun
*| \ ˈsta-ndərd ˈsi-stər-in-ˌlȯ yü-nət *
Abbreviation: SSILU
Symbol: 𝓢 or SIL
Definition:
An unofficial unit of mass equal to 300 pounds (136.08 kilograms), used to simulate high-risk, real-world human load scenarios in mechanical, structural, and transportation systems. The SSILU is commonly applied to test the failure thresholds of furniture, vehicle seats, elevators, bicycles, airline cabins, and public patience.
Etymology:
Originated in post-war American slang, the term is derived from the stereotype of a loud, heavyset female relative—often portrayed as emotionally volatile and structurally compromising—whose presence tests both family dynamics and infrastructure load-bearing capacity. While non-literal, the “sister-in-law” archetype evokes maximum physical and psychological mass concentration in civilian environments.
Technical Classification:
Measurement Type: Anthropomorphic Load Unit
Mass: 300 lbs (≈ 136.08 kg)
Field Use: Structural stress testing, emergency engineering simulation
Design Benchmark: Most consumer goods are not rated past 0.8 SSILU

The world doesnt try to shame females who think their social skills are perfect, the world tries to shame males who are perceived as having no social skills (though a lot of this comes from the same people who claim they're being shamed themselves, not society). The reality is there are no human victims, if theres one species that deserve to suffer, its humans.
Double standards are when one group's behavior is defended, but the same behavior in another group is condemned. So, pretending to suddenly jump to a male's defense when you finally discover oh shit, not all double standards work in a male's favor, or are perpetuated by males, or people other than yourself, and now you want to try and be the solution doesnt work. You are as much the problem as anybody else, you are as much the hypocrite as anybody else.

Nothing he/she did was ever lecherous, but if some else did the same thing as him/her, it was called lechery. No amount of celebration was excessive enough for him/her, and it was never called gloating when he/she did it, but if somebody else did it, it was always called gloating. He/she never did anything by a double standard, but was quick to try and tease or poke fun at the double standards of others.
