I like to think of it as a pie chart. The only way the smaller percentages can increase is to either nibble away at the other small areas....or the biggest one. Since the other small areas are also, effectively, minorities, it is far easier to take it from the bigger piece. As such, anything that is capable of doing that is deemed ok but whenever the bigger piece does the same things back, it's considered bad form or greedy.
Possibly a silly notion but I just thought it was an easy way to visualise it *shrugs*

What is institutional sexism?
Institutional sexism is the discrimination against one gender (usually women) by means of actual rules, such as a rule stating that a particular job can only be filled by a man.

Why do women get labeled sluts'' and men get labeled studs for doing the same thing?
The simple answer is sexism. The term 'sl*t' is like the term 'wh*re', like telling women they'll get a bad reputation for wearing certain clothing, blaming rape victims for acting sexual, or telling women that their vagina will become 'loose' from having sex. It's all about controlling women's behavior to keep women subservient to men. Another possibility besides sexism against women, when explaining the above reactions, could be sexism against men. Some may think that men are naturally wired this way and are perhaps inferior to women, while women have to stoop to get to that level. So that isn't so much a matter of oppressing women as it is condemning women who they see as degrading themselves to the level of men.
