Topic: Double standard


  
  Double standard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Double standards also violate the principle of justice known as impartiality, which is based on the assumption that the same standards should be applied to all people, without regard to subjective bias or favoritism based on social class, rank, ethnicity, gender or other distinction.
Efforts to defend real or purported double standards usually take the form of denying that a double standard is being applied or attempting to give a good reason for the disparate treatment (in which case it is a double standard but it is a favorable or acceptable double standard).
Proponents of this double standard would say that it is justified by natural law (men naturally cannot help it but women can and are thus supposed to function as the "gatekeepers"), while opponents would say that such an assumption is sexist and based on outmoded views of sexuality.

The "Double Standard" is that all must view favorably the self-styled claims of Islam while dismissing the Jewish claim to the Land of Israel which dates back 4000 years.
"Double Standards" applied against the Jews in the 30s and 40s that spawned the Holocaust have been delineated competently in many, many books.(4) It is merely necessary to note that the simple phrase "Double Standard" was the very foundation operative in causing and actuating the Holocaust.

 FrontPage magazine.com :: How to Oppose Liberal Intolerance by Lawrence Auster
The double standard may well be the most characteristic feature of the leftist cultural order under which we now live.
A particularly revealing instance of the double standard was the media's wall-to-wall obsession with the Abu Ghraib abuses, combined with its refusal to show the tape of the savage beheadings of innocent Americans by Islamist killers.
As the cultural leftists and "liberals" see it, to excuse and celebrate our enemies and blame ourselves for their problems is not to practice a vicious and suicidal double standard; it is merely to seek equality, which is a universal good that enriches the humanity of all of us.

 The Media’s ‘Double Standard’
I’ve often referred to the strategy that is the core of the ‘new’ imperialist agenda, the so-called ‘double standard’ articulated by Robert Cooper, now Blah’s pro-consul in Afghanistan.
I first came across Cooper’s ‘double standard’ thesis in the Observer newspaper, where its unabashed appeal to ‘civilised’ people passed by without a whimper of opposition from the ‘liberals’ that speaks reams not only about our times, but is illustrative of the comfortable symbiosis that exists between the intelligentsia and their corporate paymasters.
But perhaps an even more outrageous application of the double standard approach of the media is in how it deals with the Israeli/Palestinian tragedy.

 THE IRANIAN: Middle East, Farhad Radmehrian
The result comes across as a blatant and often shameless double standard that is obvious to everyone in the world but the American media outlets.
When Saudi Arabia's state television airs a telethon to raise funds for Palestinians who have lost their sole bread winner, and to repair public utilities crushed by Israeli tanks, the US media and government probe the Saudis to know whether or not any of the funds will go to the families of suicide bombers.
When US Secretary of State Colin Powell reaches the troubled region, his meeting with the leader of the Palestinian people is postponed because Arafat is not doing what America has asked him to do in renouncing suicide bombings from his besieged office in Ramallah.

At the same time, and even more striking, according to critics, the memo explicitly proposed a de facto double standard in the war on terror in which the United States would hold others accountable for international laws it said it was not itself obligated to follow.
One former official involved in formulating Bush administration policy on the detainees acknowledged that there was a double standard built into the Justice Department position, which the official said was embraced, if not publicly endorsed, by the White House counsel’s office.
In any case, the general administration position of not applying any international standards to the treatment of detainees was driven by the paramount needs of preventing another terrorist attack.

 Standard Double Strollers: Reviewed and Rated at Baby Gaga (via CobWeb/3.1 planet03.csc.ncsu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
There's good cause to believe that the typically heavy bulky double strollers will slowly go the way of the dodo bird as parents have come to expect lightweight yet durable functionality in the strollers they purchase for their growing families.
In the meantime, you can observe the growing trends in innovative toddler seats added to single strollers, various tandem models lurching through the marketplace, and side-by-side strollers cautiously handling the corners of consumer demands.
Clearly, no parent wants to be grappling with a whale of a double stroller, and hopefully, soon, no one will have to!

 Better Bibles Blog: Bible Bias: a double standard
Rick Mansfield has blogged about a double standard of Bible bias which he has observed in Christian bookstores.
God made males for leadership and women for support; males for the maintenance of standards and women for the nurturing to their fellows.
Most complementarians would distance themselves from saying that women are not for the maintenance of standards, and they would also respect women in leadership in the secular community.

 Sexual Double Standard Still Standard
A new survey of teens shows that girls feel more pressure than boys to have sex in order to keep their relationship afloat.

 Democrats Suggest Double Standard on Leaks
But they questioned whether a double standard exists that lets the White House give reporters secretly declassified information for political purposes.
She has been denounced by critics for leaking classified material; some suggested she had a political motive and noted that she gave $2,000 to Kerry's presidential primary campaign.
Appearing on the same Fox program, Hoekstra said the president has the legal authority to decide "what is classified and what is not," whereas "this person in the CIA thought that they were above the law." As a result, he added, McCarthy put the country at greater risk through her alleged disclosures.

There they filled in missing voter ID numbers on 4,700 Republican Party-printed absentee ballot applications that otherwise would have been scrapped.
"It's obvious that the supervisor of elections has too cozy of a relationship with the Republican Party and has a double standard," Poe says.
"If I wasn't allowed to even take the petition back, but she allowed someone else to come in her office and fill in those numbers, that's worse than a double standard," he says.
