Newguest, I have NO idea what this passage means. Your interpretation is what the sentence says, but what it exactly means to say "common standards have a fixed meaning" is anyone's guess. Maybe it made more sense in context.

Hi
Here's more context: Even when men and women receive comparable evaluations of their competence, those evaluations can have different meanings on a so called common standard that forces people to use the same judgment standard for both sexes. Because common standards have a fixed meaning, they readily reveal group stereotypes.
--- Is it clearer now?

Not really. Unless you're talking about being evaluated on the abilty to lift weights or how tall you are, I don't konw what sort of evaluations should NOT use the same jdugement standard for both sexes.
To the contrary, I'd say having standards that vary by *** would be more likely to show stereotypes than having a common stanard, fixed for both sexes!
