A double standard is a guideline or rule that is unjustifiably applied in various ways to different individuals or groups. A double standard is a strategy that favors one group or individual over another.

Standards are methods of assessing somebody, and a double standard is favoring one over another. It can be likened to having a standard that applies to certain individuals in one way and another way to other people. 

Double standards are unfair, and there are those of us who have no choice but to face the situation of this double standard. It is a double standard to advise people to open up and then call them weak when they do.

A double standard is when men are compensated more than women for doing the same work. Government officials making rules they can't keep is a double standard.

Employers fixing a time and not keeping to it is a double standard. Whenever some are held to a higher standard than others, there's a double standard since everybody isn't being treated the same way. 

Some people feel that having people under them automatically gives them the right to be biased, but that is not right. And this is what the Reddit community has trashed in this article.
