Does supporting double standards violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy?

Part of this article must have been removed. The section "politically correct examples of double standards." Why was that removed? Does promoting double standards go against the Neutral Point of View (NPOV) policy?

I cannot find a section named "politically correct examples of double standards." Could you clarify what section you mean? ―Panamitsu (talk) 22:21, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

-There are ways to contribute to this article to enhance its usefulness without engaging in contentious battles. For example, you could discuss the history of the term. The earliest known usage, according to Google Books is 1950. https://books.google.com/books?id=451GAQAAIAAJ&q=%22you+were+applying+double+standards+to+the+people+who+worked+for+you%22&dq=%22you+were+applying+double+standards+to+the+people+who+worked+for+you%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjcw7jrma_SAhUDLSYKHZXsAJcQ6AEIHDAA

-You could also give textbook examples as to what the term is used for. Without taking sides on the issue, you might point out that one of the earliest examples was the idea that women should be chaste and loyal to her significant other, while men were generally considered as "needing" regular sex; therefore, they had the right to seek sex elsewhere if their partners weren't providing it. This double-standard still exists today. Men who sleep around are lauded and considered "studs," while women who sleep around are stigmatized as sluts.

-== Notability ==
-Yes, the term is widely used, but is it really notable in terms of significant coverage? How is this different from "thank you" or "you're welcome"? [[User:Niteshift36|Niteshift36]] ([[User talk:Niteshift36|talk]]) 20:56, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
-:Because long articles have been written about double standards in various places (ex, from google: a whole study about the application of a double standard in a specific situation [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4256532/]), and it is an important argumentative concept (in the same way that, for example, [[Circular reasoning]] is also a rather well known term and is notable because of it's usage and it being an important concept). Here, you are making a [[False analogy]], since the only element shared between the words is that they are widely used - but one is also an academic term which has an importance outside of it's mere meaning. The term also appears in reliable sources used for other articles about argumentative concepts, ex.: [http://www.iep.utm.edu/fallacy/] (scroll down the page) [[Special:Contributions/135.23.202.24|135.23.202.24]] ([[User talk:135.23.202.24|talk]]) 17:14, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
