double standard
Mathematically speaking, the obnoxious idea that it's OK for 56 to insult 82, but it's NOT OK for 82 to insult 56. Of course, 56 and 82 can be replaced with many different races, religions, etc.

Double-Standard Debbie
A girl who preaches that men should look past her looks and see her personality, but harshly judges men based on their appearances.
Deborah: Ugh, I hate men! All men want these days is a barbie doll with huge boobs and a big ass! They only marry the girls who look like strippers! Why can't a guy just accept me for me and love me the way I am?!
Jane: Well, Haiden likes you. Wanna try dating him?
Deborah: Hell no, he's 5'5 and works as a cashier. If a man's not at least 6'0 tall, he don't deserve me.
Jane: You're a Double-Standard Debbie. It's no wonder you're single.
Jane: Well, Haiden likes you. Wanna try dating him?
Deborah: Hell no, he's 5'5 and works as a cashier. If a man's not at least 6'0 tall, he don't deserve me.
Jane: You're a Double-Standard Debbie. It's no wonder you're single.

Double Standard
Being unfair with others yet enabling certain people to do what you didn't let the others do.
For example, you have a bowl of chips that everyone can eat from but you don't allow certain people at the party to have the chips.
Double Standards can also apply to genders. Like, it's not weird to see a woman wearing men's clothing but it's very odd to see a man wearing women's clothing. So double standards come in different circumstances.

(both men notice a shy girl)
Man 1: What's the matter with her?
Man 2: Oh, she's just shy.
Man 1: That's hot!
(the girls see Man 2)
Girl 1: What's his problem?
Girl 2: He isn't very social
Girl 1: What a creep!
Man 1: This is a Double Standard, my friends.

Double Standards
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.
