Bar behavior and the double standard
Tuesday, May 28, 2002
The Double Standard means one set of rules for you and another for me. It has traditionally been used in regards to the different levels of expectations between men and women but can be used for individuals as well as groups. When someone tells another person they aren't playing by the same rules expected of them, we tend to reply that that's different. That it's not the same thing. And it often isn't.
