Why do women were considered sinners when they cheat?

Some women tend to cheat their boyfriends. When they do, they are marked sinners of all sinners. On the other hand, when men does the cheating, people just accept it believing the fact that men in nature are polygamous. Why do people give that notion to women who cheat?

Not to be a little one sided here, but to illustrate a point of human psychology: When a key can open many locks its considered to be a master key. However, when a lock can be opened by any key, its a bad lock.

I think, because of that key thing, you tend to persuade me that it is true. But I don't want to think that women are locks.:) On the other hand, when the master key opened another lock, can I consider it a bad key?

All I've done was abstracted away from the expected response. There really is no way to constructively criticize a key and lock statement. A master key is created, as intended, to open a large selection of locks. To say that a master key is a bad key for opening another lock is to stray away from the fundamental purpose. However, its not the key that's bad it's the determined use of such a key. If we revert back to the main point, it is as teamrose stated, a double standard. With this in mind you can then say that man is evil based off his intentions.

Don't get mad:) and don't get me wrong. I am just testing your statement. I just want to give my side. You are right, it is really the intention. I just want to have an insights about why women were considered such despite of the fact that men does the same. I am happy that you are really responding on my discussion. :D

The double standard in relationships still stands. Men are allowed a lot more latitude than women because men do not get pregnant. Sure they plant the seed, but it is the woman that ultimately has to decided to bring forth life.
