Double standard

A different standard for one person or group than another.
The double standard put a lot of red tape around what guys could and couldn't do to females, but little to no red tape around what females could and coudln't do to guys.

The Chair Standard

Approximately 15 minutes per dozen chairs. Krispy Kreme donuts, by comparison, take 1 hour per dozen before all are gone.

selective double standard

A double standard based more on somebody's personal negative feelings than on fairness.
Lindsay the supervisor would order people she hated to do more work than everyone else (move the goalposts on them) and was quicker to try and get them fired if she hated them (a negative feeling towards them she would always deny having or say someone else felt that way if asked simply, plainly, and directly) whether they did their jobs as well as everyone else or not. She lived by the same kind of selective double standard she would always try and poke fun at others for having.

Double standard

A standard that works one way for one person or group, and another for a different person or group.
The reckless and careless girl that got in several severe accidents while driving intoxicated on ambien and alchohol or just drunk (and also got her dog hospitalized due to negligence) was the one posting public service announcements on all the electronic signs on a roadway about how people should drive safely or go to jail, drive drunk and lose their license, or to stay hydrated and not drive drowsy or sleepy, or preaching against cruelty to animals while asking for donations on TV ads. That's a lot like a mayor being on crack and having people arrested for smoking weed or any other drugs for that matter. Some people can poke fun at the double standard of another human and judge them, but don't want to get judged in return, they tell you don't judge me when they judge as much as everybody else.

Double Standard

When someone treats someone well but treats another poorly, even though it's the same exact thing.
He raped me (female speaking) OMG CALL THE POLICE HE NEEDS TO BE SENT TO JAIL
She raped me (male speaking) OMG WHAT A PUSSY, HOW COULD YOU BE RAPED BY A GIRL, WHAT A LOSER.
That is a double standard.
