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.

Get the selective double standard mug.
An action that is excusable for white people but unequivocally condemned for non-whites.
The white double standard:
White extremists: "Those are just a few bad apples who probably have mental illness".

Muslim extremists: "All muslims should take responsibility for these attacks and we need to ban all of them from entering the country."

Something that helps one person or group out and not another.
The reptilian boy girl was always listenened to by others when she described who she did feel comfortable around and didn't feel comfortable around, yet nobody else was listened to as to whether they felt comfortable around her. People gave her a benefit of the doubt males wouldn't get because she was female, and she capitalized on it, she played them with it. It was a double standard feminists would never mention, since they don't mention any that don't make themselves look disadvantaged and good at the same time in the public eye.

The one where if a male stands up for a female, he's a soldier, but if he stands up to a female, he's a clown. Meanwhile, if a female stands up to a male, she's a hero, and everybody is on her side. That is one you don't hear about from feminists, since they are more interested in having their own win a bullshit battle of the sexes than having all of humanity triumph.
Females are not a less selfish sex than males, you just don't hear as much about a double standard that doesn't make them look good from feminists.

When someone lives to excess and has nothing but expanding dollar signs/becoming powerful (in real estate or new development, for example) on their mind, but also wants to wrap their tentacles around conservation efforts and humanitarian causes (such as social justice, income equality, sustainable energy, and a bunch of other issues they don't even hold sacred) to cover their tracks (and get credited for positive things) in case anybody questions (or stands up to) them.
The dorky bubbly girl claming to be a humanitarian and conservationist was one of the main reasons a lot of trees were missing, but she was too busy poking fun at other people's double standards to notice her own. She thought that humans were too responsible for global warming because she thought everyone else was trying to dominate or control the world's resources to the extent (excesses) that she was. She was arrogant enough to believe humans caused the last ice age, and that they were the sole reason for global warming, and the worst thing about somebody like her was that she didn't know it, she only saw arrogance in other people, which is the worst kind of arrogance, complete and total narcissism (the kind of narcissism that also only sees narcissism in others). The planet wasn't going to miss her when she was no longer a part of it and it's problems, but she would never see that either, because she had convinced the planet and the people living on it that they somehow needed her.

If a male was try and make a female wear (or not wear) a striped shirt, it would be called sexism, but if a female makes her husband wear the stupid fucking shirt, it's not called anything, they don't even have a name to call it.
People that like to poke fun at a double standard, but don't like anyone noticing their own never made a name to call a female that makes her husband wear a shirt.
