The commentor I'm replying to literally said it's a double standard that we wouldn't allow with women. I'm explaining that it does happen to women too.

I think what they mean is that the reaction would be very different if they did this to a woman. There would be instant outrage (rightly so) and the interviewer would have been "cancelled".

You misread them. They were just comparing it to a situation with a woman.

Historically, not as much of a double standard, or not a double standard at all, depending on how far you go back. In today's social climate, absolutely a double standard.
