{{quote|[[[Mafia]] member Vinny shoots a policewoman while fellow mobster Louie watches]
'''Louie''': Jesus, Vinny. You just iced a woman, you know that?
'''Vinny''': You know what you are, Louie? You're a fuckin' male chauvinist pig.
'''Louie''': What do you mean, I'm a male chauvinist pig? You just shot a broad.
'''Vinny''': A cop. I just shot a cop. They wanna be equal? I made her equal.|''[[Ghost Dog|Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai]]''}}
{{quote|''Maybe it wouldn't bother me so much, dear Mary Sue, if it weren't for the double standard. If a young man were to punch you because he found you 'annoying', you would be horrified. Quite rightly. But the idea that anyone might be rightly horrified at YOU punching a man for annoying you appears to be so revolutionary it's hardly worth countenancing. No, it's utterly okay for a girl to punch a guy. It's cool. It, you suggest, can even be funny. But if a guy punches a girl, that's abuse.
One question, Mary Sue: ''Where's the difference?''
If it's abuse when a man hits a woman, it's still abuse when a woman's doing the hitting.''|[http://community.livejournal.com/fanficrants/3496750.html Double Standards: Don't You Just Love 'Em?]}}
{{quote|''I remember an artistic and eager lady asking me in her grand green drawing-room whether I believed in comradeship between the sexes, and why not. I was driven back on offering the obvious and sincere answer "Because if I were to treat you for two minutes like a comrade you would turn me out of the house."''|''What's Wrong With The World'' by [[G. K. Chesterton]]}}
{{quote|'''Amanda''': All I'm trying to say is that there are lots of things that a man can do and in society's eyes, it's all hunky-dory. A woman does the same thing--the same, mind you--and she's an outcast.
'''Adam''': Finished?
'''Amanda''': No. Now I'm not blaming you personally, Adam, because this is so.
'''Adam''': Well, that's awfully large of you.
'''Amanda''': No, no, it's not your fault. All I'm saying is, why let this deplorable system seep into our courts of law, where women are supposed to be equal?
'''Adam''': Mostly, I think females get advantages.
'''Amanda''': We don't want advantages! And we don't want prejudices!|''[[Adams Rib|Adam's Rib]]''}}

{{quote|''"Notice all the melon jokes, the bald jokes? I make '''one''' nose joke, it's OOOOOOOOHH!"''|'''Colin Mochrie''', after being booed for making a joke about Ryan Stiles' nose, even though he himself gets skewered for being bald and/or Canadian all the time, ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'' (American edition)}}
{{quote|'''Bobby:''' I just wanted to say you don't have to worry about me, 'cause I'm never gonna have sex.
'''Hank:''' Whoa, Bobby, now don't say that!
'''Bobby:''' I thought that's what you wanted.
'''Hank:''' Well, yes, if you were my daughter, but you're my son.
'''Bobby:''' Why is it not okay for girls, but it's okay for boys?
'''Hank:''' It's called the [[Double Standard]], Bobby. Don't knock it, we got the long end of the stick on that one.|[[King of the Hill]]}}
