When the rules are different for different groups of people just because of some feeling of the group making the rules.

For example, movies that discuss the sexuality of teenage boys can do all sorts of bad jokes and sexual references and only get an R rating. But when it's girls in a movie doing that same type of behavior, the movie gets a NC-17.

A double standard is when a girl's virginity becomes like a seal of freshness on a jar of pickles whilst a man's virginity is never an issue.

A double standard is being able to make male-bashing jokes in mixed company without consequence.
