You can't apply the rules of a club to people who are not members of that club.

You can't apply the rules of a club to people who are not me

Summary

This quote suggests that it is inappropriate to impose rules or expectations designed for a specific group or context onto individuals who do not belong to that particular group. Just as the regulations of a club only pertain to its members, it implies that one should acknowledge the unique characteristics and circumstances of different individuals or groups before making assumptions or setting expectations. In essence, one-size-fits-all approaches are not always applicable, and it is crucial to recognize and respect the diversity and differences among people.
