Why is it acceptable that men cheat? People even say that
it's "normal", that it's part of a relationship. When did it become a
given—an established fact? If a man does
it, he's a player, but when a woman does it, she's a dirty slut. An
irresponsible wife/mom/human being. She's treated like trash, the lowest of the
low, and she'll live with the shame the rest of her life, no matter how much
she's repented for it. Men, on the other hand, get to have bragging rights. How
seriously messed up is that?

When men cheat, it is the women's responsibility to
"forgive and forget" and give a second chance. In fact, it seems as
if we’re REQUIRED to do so. If we don’t, we’re heartless, or worse, we get told
that if we can't forgive, then we’re not worth it. Like, seriously? We deserve getting cheated on, because we can’t forgive
cheating?
It’s very rarely that a man forgives the woman or try to win
her back. If she sleeps with someone else, it’s automatic eviction from the Big
Brother house. We can’t blame the man, either, coz if he takes the girl back, other
men would diss him for being weak, a pushover, for not satisfying his woman
enough that she had to look for it from
another man. Ego is everything for most men, and they can just as easily find a
replacement anyway, so why bother playing the martyr, right?
Why do men get a free pass, but women gets prosecuted for
it? Cheating is cheating, no matter which gender does it. #whatswrongwithsociety
