Default Adultery and Complacency

Hey, Folks.
What the heck goes on with this woman messing around on the man. We have accepted... though not me, that it has been going on. And further more, I do not want to see this...this behavior. Have we no morals these days. And our children, what goes on with.... Them!!!

It's the most natural thing in the world. Female hypergamy unleashed by the pill and politics.

You see, that's why in the bible they stoned the woman to death, it's that horrible, it taught the children it was wrong, they thought twice before doing it, and if she did cheat...............the man wasn't stuck w/ all her crap, she was just....GONE!
Even before, here in America, if a woman cheated she wasn't entitled to crap! Throw her lieing, cheating axx out in the cold and she wouldn't get the kids!! Laws now favor women and nobody cares if she was a cheater or not.
The worse punnishment tho, is she has to look herself in the mirror every single day and she can't STONE herself. LMAO

Agreed. It is about time we rejected these old notions that women are nobler, less likely to cheat. And, the notion that women cheat for reasons other than sex, like emotional connection etc is also BS , IMO.
Women have fierce sex drives and chase orgasms with men they, mistakenly, consider more alpha.

Well it seems to me that men have been messing around since the dawn of time... and who exactly do you think they have been messing around with all these thousands of years... yep... women.

Nothing new under sun.

True. Women and men have been cheating for a long time. But, I think it is more prevalent, now.

In the OT they stoned both men and women for cheating. They law applied regardless of gender.

Yea but in the past the cheating husbands got away with in with impunity. Are you suggesting that it was a good thing that married women were treated harshly for cheating but married men hardly faced any consequences for cheating?
I prefer a world in which there is equal treatment for such things. It’s equally wrong for either spouse to cheat.

Same goes for cheating husbands of course.

I do think it's more prevalent now too. But I think it's more prevalent for both men and women. Our society is just a lot more promiscuous now..

Men used to cheat more with single women. Married women faced some pretty harsh consequences for cheating that men did not face often. So in past generations married women did not cheat as much.

But now married women cheat at almost the same rate as married men do. For some reason the OP seems to think that it’s worse for a woman to cheat than for a man to cheat. That makes no sense.

No argument from me. Members of both genders that cheat deserve equal contempt.
We betrayeds are victims regardless of gender and need to stick together and support each other.

I'm sick to read everyday about cheating stories. Especially these women who open their legs to the OM then come home and start crying pretending they feel guilty.
I seriously feel like vomiting!!!
I have always thought men are more likely to cheat but I'm realizing women are just as likely as men.

The thing is that here on TAM most members seem think that every couple should try and go through MC and R and it has kind of become acceptable.
I hope this mentality doesn't become acceptable to me once my future partner/husband cheats on me.

The new thing might be that (its calimed) that infidelity has tripled since 1997. Coinciding with home computers and cellphones?

Could be that just discovery rate has tripled. Discovering an affair was never so easy as it is now.

I agree. I think people have been cheating for a long time at the same rate. NOw, there is an electronic trail that makes it easier to find things out or to prove them.

For example, when I got the anonymous letter about my husband cheating. I checked his phone. I initially did not find a woman's number because it was listed under his office in texas. I thought it was a business contact, In fact she called once from that number and he used that to explain why she called on saturday. It was business.

I also agree that cheating is abuse and needs to be punished. Both men and women.
