Like the title asks, do you have a double standard for certain things? An example of a double standard is if you're a guy and another guy hits you for no reason, you have the right to hit him back. However, if a girl hits you for no reason, you shouldn't do anything about it. In other words, you have two different set of rules for things that are essentially the same.

Honestly, I have a double standard for many things. Gender, race, age, you name it.

Yes, I feel I do. I guess it's pretty normal.

I think it's a natural thing we all have.

I definitely have one. I cannot think of what it is at this moment in time, but haha, unfortunately, I have my own double standards, which fails because I absolutely despise them in society ;/

I guess I could say I have that double standard you used as an example, however it only applies to my siblings. If my brother hits me, I'm allowed to retaliate, however if anyone outside of my family hits, me I do nothing but seek retaliation from authorities. (I never hit girls, period. they usually tend to hit back harder)

Yes, I have some double-standards, especially when it goes down to gender. I could punch another guy in the face, but if a girl did that to me, I wouldn't know what to do.

I can't think of one right now, but I have no doubt I have one XD;

I have some double standards, but more like... if I hit a guy and he hit me back, I'd be a bit shocked since I'm a girl and stuff. Is there a word for that? But yeah. It usually applies to age and gender. SOMETIMES race.

No such standards exist in me.

I'm so full of double standards, I'd explode. :x For me, it usually applies to age and gender, never race, religion, etc. Honestly, for age and gender, it depends on the situation.

Yep, I have double standards. Especially when it comes down to gender. A girl always hits me, but I don't hit her back, so she hits me like mad and I bear the pain xD. Mainly in gender and age.

I suppose my only "double standard" would be hitting guys back but not hitting girls back. I would never lay my hand on a girl in that manner, I think the word is.. dignity. Not sure lol, not good with words most the time. Anyways, I can't think of anything else.
