double standard

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!
