When someone is allowed to get away with something others arent. when a particular standard is applied to a certain group but not another. this doesn't necessarily apply to gender but everything.
Politicians complaining about pet projects and pork spending as a problem but still pushing their own through because theirs is obviously more okay is a great example of double standards.
The smaller pay black soldiers receive was also a double standard

Get the Double Standardsmug. Anything which is okay for a particular group of humans to engage in but completely unacceptable if another particular group indulges in it.
A group of girls at a party scan the place for hot guys. They comment about their physical attributes, scorecard them and rate them on a scale of 1 to 10. Labeled as ACCEPTABLE and CUTE.
A group of guys at the same party scan the place for hot girls. They comment about their physical attributes, scorecard them and rate them on a scale of 1 to 10. Labeled as MALE CHAUVINIST PIGS WHO OBJECTIFY WOMEN. This is a double standard.
A girl refers to a guy's junk as his 'package' or 'dick'. ACCEPTABLE.
A man refers to a woman's privates as 'boobs', 'tits', 'pussy' etc. UNACCEPTABLE. This is another double standard.
A woman who doesn't want to get married and lives alone. Labeled as STRONG, INDEPENDENT, LEVELHEADED.
A man who doesn't want to get married and lives alone. Labeled as A COMMITMENT-PHOBIC WIMP WHO CAN'T HANDLE A FAMILY.
Double standards suck!

Get the Double standardsmug. A quick-and-dirty method of determining your BAC is to consider one 12-ounce beer (at 4% alcohol-by-volume), one 8-ounce glass of wine (at 12% ABV), or one shot (at 40% ABV) as being the same thing.
The problem with this is that there are all sorts of different beers, of different strengths. Enter the "Standard Beer". One Standard Beer is equivalent to one 12-ounce can of ordinary American or Canadian beer, such as Budweiser or Labatt Blue.
One Standard Beer will increase an ordinary man's BAC by .02% and an ordinary woman's BAC by .03%.

One Standard Beer will increase an ordinary man's BAC by .02% and an ordinary woman's BAC by .03%.
Take, for example, one 24-oz. can of Steel Reserve. At 8.1% ABV, it is twice as strong as a Standard Beer. At 24 ounces, it is also twice as large as a Standard Beer. 2 x 2 = 4. Therefore, one big Steelie is equal to four Standard Beers, and will raise the average man's BAC by .08%.
