I heard from the psychoanalyst I've been consulting with, that it's something expected from the human psychê (something about the unsolvable conflict between Id, Ego and Superego, as the psychoanalyst is aligned with the Freudian way of psychoanalysis).
And, then, we look at the Nature we came from and belong to, and... isn't the double standards something inherent to the very predator-prey dynamics? An owl mercilessly hunts and eats a mouse, yet she evolved mechanisms to camouflage herself before the tree bark, so other species don't cause her harm. She avoids being hunted, but she hunts.
Furher zooming out, this can also be observed throughout cosmos somehow. Poetically speaking, when a star collapses in her own gravitational field and develops a singularity, she tries to win the tug-of-war when faced by another singularity. She doesn't want to be pulled and consumed by other matter, but she wants to pull and consume matter.
If we go transcendental, Yaodabaoh is trying to dictate and have a creation submissive to his whims, in this timeless effort not to compromise his Yang pole and submit himself to the Yin pole of Cosmic Mother Goddess (Sophia). Similarly, one (especially one aligned with Demiurge and his archons) could find "double standards" at the fact that She had split from him (Demiurge as Her syzygy) seeking to be independent from him, yet She (IMHO, reasonably) doesn't want him to fulfill his independence through his cosmic creation (because this harms Her own independence).
The very fabric of existence and "non-existence" (the timeless transcendental aka "the pleroma") reek of double standards, so it seems.

Isn’t that jungian, not freudian?

No, at least not when it comes to the id, ego and superego:
(Wikipedia)One of his books in which he formulated the concept is The id and the ego.
Jung, in turn, is more about archetypes ("universal, inherited idea, pattern of thought, or image that is present in the collective unconscious of all human beings" as per Wikipedia's definition), and he better integrates religion/spirituality (an integration with which, personally, I identify more than with the Freudian theory; sadly there seems to be no Jungian psychoanalyst around where I reside so I had to stick with a Freudian one).

You are right, I was thinking about jungian archetypes because I’m playing xenogears again
