Double standard

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, even if you dont get that you are.

list of standard acceptables

A set of rigid rules and regulations that dictate how one must behave or act to conform to societal norms and avoid any form of deviation. These guidelines are often created by people in positions of power who seek to control and manipulate the masses to maintain their authority and status quo. While on the surface they may seem harmless, in reality, they stifle creativity, innovation, and individuality, leading to a world where everyone is a mindless robot, blindly following the dictates of those in charge.
Sorry, I can't wear that to work, it doesn't meet the list of standard acceptables set by management.

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.

Standard Grandad

A person who likes their guitars (and everyone else's for that matter) tuned to standard E (Low to high E A D g b e). These people, who despite the name may be of any age, dislike the practice of tuning a guitar or bass to alternate tunings such as dropped D (D A D g b e) and show great disdain for those who do because...

Well, who knows.

These people could be the biggest Thin Lizzy fans in the world but wouldn't tune down just a half-step to E flat to play one of their songs correctly. They will often moan on about how it's not necessary to tune a guitar out of E but, when prompted for a reason why, they will just mutter, trail off and then be quiet again.
Standard Grandad: Oh, I see you're a Led Zeppelin fan, so am I! Favourite band since I saw em in '72, got all the LPs! how's about we jam on Moby Dick?

Drummer: Sure thing. But, uh, you'll have to tune your guitar to drop D, that's how Jimmy Page played it.

Standard Grandad: ...Forget it, I can't stand Led Zeppelin, bloody fiddling about with tunings *throws guitar in trash*
