The Cheating Double Standard Nobody Talks About
Chris Williamson
Cheating judgments 0:00
Americans overwhelmingly call infidelity morally wrong, especially marital cheating. But the survey split the question by sex. Men judged male and female cheating about the same.
Young women stand out 1:00
Women, especially younger women, were less likely to say a woman cheating was always wrong. Older women looked much closer to everyone else. The speakers guessed that experience, shared fate, and power dynamics might shape that view.
Online harm and norms 4:01
They tied this to harassment online and sexual assault talk. Women may see more risk, more unwanted messages, more nudes, and weaker norms, so they have to draw the line themselves.
