Imagine finding out that the person that claims to love you is cheating on you with someone else and you were not aware. Sucks right?
Now picture them justifying their actions by claiming "it's a man thing." That's frustrating, isn't it? Loyalty should apply to everyone, regardless of gender.
How can men demand loyalty from women while also expecting the freedom to cheat?
Before you come for me, let's clarify that cheating isn't exclusive to men; women cheat too. However, it's concerning that society often finds excuses to condone men's infidelity. This isn't about a cheating competition; it's about condemning deceitful behavior stemming from irresponsibility, dishonesty, and basic decency.
The common excuse used to justify such bad behavior is the difference between men and women. While I agree that there are differences between genders, values should not be gender-specific. Values aren't meant to be followed by one gender while another one takes the piss at these values because they have a pair of balls and an elephant's trunk as a sex organ.
No one should disregard values simply because of their gender traits. Recently, I engaged in a conversation with an individual (whom I'll keep anonymous) about this issue. This person, a married man, has openly endorsed cheating and disrespect towards women on social media, which didn't surprise me given their perspective on infidelity.
It's alarming to see how certain behaviors are excused under the guise of "It's a man's world" and the supposed inherent differences between men and women. This is precisely why some feminists vehemently oppose patriarchy because, in essence, that's what it perpetuates. How can anyone expect faithfulness from their partner when they are not willing to reciprocate? Why is it difficult to accept what you readily serve just because you're a man?
Honestly, it's frightening how some use Isaiah 4 vs 1 to justify cheating. Loyalty can't be taught; it's about values and respect. Thinking being a man exempts you from faithfulness shows a lack of principles, respect and just bad behavior.
It shows you don't respect yourself enough and it indicates a lack of self-respect and disrespect for your partner. Failing to control impulses and justifying it with scripture or masculinity normalizes distasteful behavior. If we're taking inspiration from that verse, why not surpass Solomon and have more wives than he did? Men don't possess one-tenth of Solomon's wisdom but desire his wandering eye, wandering dick and promiscuity. Might as well start a harem while you're at it, no?
It sickens me to know men, both directly and indirectly, with such repugnant behavior, but sadly, it reflects the reality of a male-dominated society. Do you ever consider your partner's feelings when they discover they've been with a cheater? Betraying trust for fleeting pleasure? Some naively believe they'll stop cheating after marriage, as if a wedding band magically curbs promiscuity. It's naïve and foolish to think a ring stops infidelity. Y'all are just wild.
But anyway, just find your true essence always in being unapologetically unfaithful…loool
