If perception is that you are belonging to a group that is targeted and harmed, regardless of your true state of being
Though we now know they werent a witch, the perception of the time was that they were of witches. By the bonfire standard, they were equally likely to harmed as if they truly were a witch.

Get the bonfire standardmug. The time zone of reference for all activities at Microsoft Corporation. Sometimes colloquially referred to as Pacific standard time or PST.
A coworker asked, “What is the time zone for our 9 AM meeting?” The manager responded, “Redmond standard time, Bill”.

Get the Redmond standard timemug. So common and ordinary normal that you assume there must be some international standard that specifies the thing.

Get the ISO Standardmug. 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.
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.

Get the Double Standardmug. When you exaggerate the most minuscule things. One example can be the tinpot club Arsenal who beat a farmers' league team Benfica in Europa league which also can be a synonym for losers' league, and called it one of the greatest european nights for the team. Mfers are down bad.

Get the Extremely Low Standardsmug. 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.
