What is your definition of a double standard and whom do you find most guilty of using them?

Asked by msh (4270points) September 25th, 2015 from iPhone

A lot of press have used the term: “double standard” a great deal lately. You could say it may be applied as a description of politicians or institutions, were one to use such a term in the US today.
But is it used as a descriptive term, or rather one bandied about as just another reason for effectivly describing the “system” in general? A kind of ” les affairs ” – shrug here- situation?
Are you aware of any double standards, and how they may be used for any specific situations or desired actions?
