For example workplace harrasment by women towards males like touching or groping being ignored because the victim is male but if it where to happen to a woman by a male the male would be fired

In dating or marriage: If a female partner criticizes on her male’s choice of outfit, it’s totally normal. If a male criticizes the choice of outfit of his female partner… a fight is imminent.

Insane expectations being placed on women around beauty and appearance, and the resulting insecurities that creates, play a big role in this

Sounds like an unhealthy relationship to me instead of a double standard but whatever.

The whole question of double standards is in a sense, asking about common unhealthy traits

Both are very common, so it's easy to confuse them.

I see this all the time and my wife can give to hoots what I wear so I have no realtionship issue, but I see it all the time. Honestly it is a realtionship thing. Anyone can criticize a males outfit without to much blowback. If asked an not in a realtionship with a women a man can criticize a womens outfit minorly. If in a relationship they have to have an especially easy going significant other. Like my wife.
