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

The least responsible person you've ever known, male or female saying someone or something else is not responsible.
The bubbly girl like to poke fun at another person's double standard, but couldn't see her own for what it was. She was too busy trying to get people to take her seriously and respect her by looking/sounding serious and indirectly having other people threaten people for her.

Double standard

Different people held to different standards.
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.

Double standard

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.

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

Double standards dont come from society, they come from people. Therefore any double standard in a female's favor usually come from females.
You could tell it bothered the female quick to point out other people's double standards to point out her own double standards, she still couldnt see how they made her as much of a hypocrite (or a narcissist) as everybody else (even males). A taste of your own medicine and shit isnt always delicious, is it?
