Life isn’t always fair, no matter how much we wish it could be. Sure, there are times when justice prevails and good triumphs, but far too often, the scales seem hopelessly tipped.

It’s the kind of realization that can really make your blood boil. And it certainly did for these Redditors, who didn’t hold back as they shared some of society’s biggest double standards in a recent thread.

Scroll down to read their thoughts, and don’t forget to share your own in the comments!

I would rather we just actually enforce the separation of church and state. Religious institutions should not be involved in politics. And the government should not pass laws that are particular to one religious view point (like making abortion illegal).

Vilifying an entire race and gender. You can be racist to white people, especially white men. But it cannot be the opposite. 

CNN can release a news article called “There’s Nothing Scarier Than Angry White Men”. If you replaced “white men” with “black people”, there would be public outrage and much consequence. 
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/11/20/us/angry-white-men-trials-blake-cec

Black people can openly say “I don’t like white people” and it’s acceptable. A white person cannot say that about their own race without termination from their job, being deplatformed and deemed a racist. I think both of these attitudes towards one another are disgusting. I don’t feel that way about a race. It’s bothersome that someone would judge me just because of my skin color too. 

Progress on race issues begins when everyone has the same social behaviors and mutual respect. Not when one gets a special license to be hateful and the other is supposed to put up with it. Most things deemed “racist” are not about race anyway, it’s tribalism. A very natural thing for all of us. 

People with cultural similarities will always predominately flock together. Race is the first and most obvious commonality that make make a group of people flock together. In a diverse room, Christian’s will naturally flock together, blacks will flock together, gays will flock together and so on. 

Everyone, without exception or even admission, is most comfortable with people that are most like them from physical appearance to politics, interests, and beliefs. There’s countless studies on it. Instead of understanding and respecting the human condition, we normalize blaming and vilifying white people because they are the majority in the proverbial room.  .

The basic premise of this point is utter nonsense. It's just not true that "You can be racist to white people, especially white men.." Nor is it the case that "Black people can openly say “I don’t like white people” and it’s acceptable". It's also false that "we normalize blaming and vilifying white people because they are the majority in the proverbial room" This is nothing but fantastical far-right culture-war conspiracy-mongering invented by some sick-minded troublemaker. By the way, I'm a white man. I've never had anyone be racist to me because I'm white.

When you are the demographic in power (not just white but largely white men) in America for instance and everyone else is treated differently as a result, you have to live with the consequences. Pretending people resenting mistreatment are the same as those mistreating them in the first place is first-class hypocrisy right up there with the "war on Christianity."

I feel that one, if not THE one, worst word in the English language is the "N" word when referring to African-American's. If a white person says that word, it is extremely raciest. But I hear it all the time from African-American's mouths and their music. I am so offended by this I want to scream: "Don't you have ANY respect for yourself?" I just don't understand how this acceptable. Can someone please explain this to me?

Look at it like this: there's this horrible word used to insult, demean, belittle you and everyone like you, a word used to excuse all manner of awfulness up to and including murder. You'd like a world where that word didn't have that power. So, you and your group - the ones attacked by the word - end up using that word in an attempt to rob it of its power. Of course "they" have self-respect. It's kind of the point. (By the way, I consider myself one of "them". Despite being a white man, I'm also a human being - how are we different under the skin? Only, you won't find me using the "n" word because - umm - I hope that I get it?)

So...how are the Christians identifying each other as they "naturally flock together"? Does everyone wear a cross? And if you're a lesbian, does everyone make sure the carabineer holding their keys is prominent? Of course I'm being facetious, and I take your points and agree with some of them but would argue that in a diverse room you aren't going to only see groups of white people or black people or gay people. There will be mixes because people identify themselves by more than just the colour of their skin, who they voted for and who they sleep with.

I’m not American, but I know in the USA you can’t drink or buy tobacco until you’re 21. Yet you can join the army and be sent to foreign countries to fight, buy a gun, or vote at the age of 18.

Imagine joining the army at 18. Then get deployed, seeing combat, losing friends. Return home with your soul shattered. And then get a hard NO when you try to buy some booze to numb the pain. Thank you for your service indeed

Elon musk openly smoked weed on camera and talks about taking other illegal d***s on the Joe Rogan podcast, yet he still launches rockets and has just been brought into the president elects cabinet and entrusted to run a department in the federal government but a regular citizen wouldn’t pass a security clearance/background investigation and interview to work for a government entity if they smoked weed.

I learned this the hard way. My ex-husband attacked me, and I defended myself. He admitted to the police that he hit me first, but because he sustained an injury that required stitches, I was held liable to pay his Dr bill.

The government can fail financial audits to the tune of billions missing with no accountability or consequences. But I have to explain deposits over $600. Totally ridiculous.

In the US, justice for the rich/celebrities/politicians vs the rest of the population. A prime example that comes to mind is how Tyreek Hill was given a speeding ticket for going 90 in a 30. The he has the audacity to demand the cop be fired. A regular person in that situation would have been arrested for reckless endangerment and their car impounded.

40 Of The Biggest Double Standards In Society, According To People Online How some groups think it is fine that they can do what they like, but "others" need to be told by them to what to do. Some groups go, let's make a law governing how others behave, but woe betide anyone who tries to make laws governing how those groups behave.

Nobody should hit anybody. There is often a huge difference in power though. If my husband would punch me I'd probably go k.o. If I would punch my husband he'd probably wonder what mosquito bit him :')
