I do agree this is frustrating, although I do think it's mostly fandom as a whole that has a double standard and not individual fans (i.e. I think most fans are either pro-sexualization for men and women, or they're anti-sexualization for men and women -- but are more vocal about the gender that gets sexualized too little/much for their tastes). When you add up all the individual voices, you get a fanbase that seems to have very inconsistent views.

That said, I'm sure there are individuals with double standards. Some of that might be just a consequence of how most creators of media are male, and there's a bit of a difference between a male creator throwing in gratuitous lesbian fanservice in a way that alienates female fans vs. a male creator making an interesting male/male dynamic and female fans enjoying it on whatever level they like. But some of it is just completely different standards of judging other people vs. judging oneself (i.e. "when YOU do it, it's creepy/problematic; when I do it, it's empowering"), and that's frustrating.
