double standard

Read a random definition: direct and proximate cause

A quick definition of double standard:

A double standard is when one group of people is treated better or given more chances than another group, usually because of things like their gender or race. This is not fair and is called discrimination. Discrimination is when someone is treated differently because of things like their age, sex, race, religion, or disability. Discrimination is wrong and against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

A double standard is when one group of people is given more opportunities or treated more leniently than another group, usually based on factors like gender or race. This is a form of discrimination, which is when someone is treated unfairly because of their age, sex, nationality, religion, or disability.

For example, if a company only hires men for high-paying jobs and women for lower-paying jobs, that is a double standard based on gender. Another example is if a school punishes students of color more harshly than white students for the same behavior, that is a double standard based on race.

Double standards are unfair and can lead to unequal treatment and opportunities for different groups of people.
