Why is cheating treated differently for each sex?

It's the same action. You can't blame it all on one person. It takes two to tango. You are just as much at fault as the other. You can try to blame it on the other but we all know, you are to blame as well. Unless there were some circumstance where it was out of your control, which is absolutely awful.

Let's get the facts straight. Cheating is cheating. Whether you kissed someone else or had intercourse with another person that wasn't your significant other, it is cheating. I don't care what world you are in. In this world loyalty is everything.

The real problem with our society is how it is looked upon differently between the two sexes. Men are treated more lightly when they are the partner in the relationship cheating. Now when the woman in the relationship is the one who is cheating she is looked down upon. Society believes that women cheating is worse than men cheating. Which is absolutely absurd. It is the same action but just with a different sex. It should be looked down upon all the way around.

Let me give you an example. On Friday Night Lights the television series, Lyla cheats on her boyfriend Jason with his best friend, Tim. Once everyone finds out Lyla experiences really harsh backlash. She gets vicious notes in her locker about how much of a "slut" she was. Her own cheer team started talking crap about her behind her back. She loses a lot of friends and ends up eating lunch alone. People were mean to here for a very long time. While Tim barely gets any backlash at all.

Men and women are equal. We should be treated the same in any situation or scenario.
