Why Men & Women Are Giving Up On Each Other - Daniel Cox

What was said

"And we found that when it comes to men cheating, there wasn't much of a gender difference. That across the board pretty much people said like yeah, when a man cheats it's morally wrong. When it comes to women women especially younger women were far less likely to take a kind of hard line approach and say it was morally wrong in like all circumstances."

Daniel Cox says his team split a survey sample, asking separate groups to rate whether adultery is morally wrong when committed by a man or a woman. He reports respondents broadly condemned male cheating, while younger women were less likely to say female cheating is always morally wrong and more likely to see it as acceptable in some cases.
