Why Do Married Men Sleep Around And Cast Aspersion On Women Who Do Similar Thing?

I decided to write this article because of a conversation I had the unfortunate privilege to hear. Obviously, these were guys who were having this conversation, and the things that came out of their mouth were shocking even to me to say the least. Shocking or not I had to realize this was the truth as they saw it so instead of remaining shocked about what I was hearing I decided to ask some questions to see if I could gain some insight.

Yes, I got the insight and whole earful of the most disrespectful commentary an ear can hear. They went on about why it was ok for them to cheat, how they manage to get away with cheating and even discussed what they will do to their wives if they ever caught them cheating. So I felt I needed to know why it was kind of okay for a married man to cheat but not right for a married woman to do the same.

Its even shocking, sad, and absolutely ridiculous that men think that it’s fine to not have any self control over their choices and actions but expect women to have better self control.

It is a man’s world so goes that popular saying? Whether you agree with that popular saying or not, what matters is what your view is when it comes to men who sleep around only to turn around and cast aspersion on women who do similar thing?

What is your take on this? Do you think it is ideal for men to bully or accuse women of cheating on their husbands when they are also as guilty as those they are also accusing or passing judgment on?

I hear it, I read it, and see it on television all the time? Women have been driven from their homes because they were caught cheating, but men are acquitted because the society feels it’s a man’s world or what. Well is cheating not cheating?

So my people what makes it right for a married man to cheat but totally unacceptable for a married woman  to do such ?
