Sexism, discrimination, etc.
Everyone has a different standard in doing things. Every boss, government, parents, teachers have different values they abide by. But what’s most annoying is when they do not apply these standards equally to everyone or in every situation. It seems like the rules can be bent as their heart wishes to as long as it benefits themselves.
As if venting out their frustration, the question ‘What double standard disgusts you?’ has got people sharing all kinds of situations where equality does not exist.

However, not all double standards are baseless. Statistics become a strong foundation when it comes to profound fears or prejudice. For example, men are more likely to cheat compared to women. They are equally wrong, but it is much easier for people to ‘understand’ that it’s the man with an affair in a relationship.
