What is a double standard?

Double standards refer to double standards, that is, there are different standards and attitudes towards two or more different things. Double standards are generally used to describe people who agree with actions that are in line with their own interests and values, but reject and oppose things that are not conducive to their own interests.

1. In fact, many behaviors in life can be called double standards. For example, some people dislike that their objects don't like cleanliness and cleaning, which makes the house very messy, but he is such a person himself, so he thinks that he is right to do so, but others are wrong to do so.

2. In love, "double standard" people only ask the other half from their own point of view, but they don't allow the other half to ask the same of themselves.

3. Politically, the concept of "double standards" in the West is rooted in the values of "western centralism", and the system is rooted in the dominant position of liberal democracy in the international community. With the help of democratic export strategies and actions, the "double standards" in the West have been sustained to this day.

For example, in recent China, influenced by the concepts of Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism, such as "keeping justice, destroying human desires" and "starving to death is a small matter, but dishonor is a big one", women were strongly encouraged to keep their virginity. Besides not committing adultery after marriage and not remarrying after the death of their husbands, they should remain virgins before marriage, but men can still have three wives and four concubines. In love and marriage, both sides want to get independent freedom and respect, but they think that men should shoulder most of the responsibilities.

There are many examples of double standards, both in reality and in historical records. For example, the double labeling of young and old: some things that adults often do, such as falling in love and gambling, are forbidden by adults on the grounds that teenagers are "impulsive and lack of judgment". But in fact, many adults are addicted to gambling or commit crimes on impulse, which is not directly related to their age.

not only that, but also, the double standard is used as a network term, which is used to spit out which two or more items or events are measured by different scales, or there are different criteria for judging people. For example, people who approve of value judgments or actions that are in line with their own interests, oppose or restrict value judgments or actions that are not in line with their own interests, and impose their own interests or actions on others are usually called double-label bitches or double-label dogs on the Internet.

In today's online abuse war, Diss opponent's "double-labeled dog" has become a big killing trick. You can almost pick a controversial Weibo at random, and you can see double-labeled words in the comment area. Rational people will have "double standards" more or less. Therefore, the scolded party often falls into an irrefutable desperate situation.
