Why's it okay for him to cheat?

Society isn't as accepting or forgiving of women who commit adultery. What's the difference?

I am not the “moral police”. I'm not condoning or advocating cheating nor am I judging anyone. We are responsible for our actions and the consequences which follow. We constantly watch the unraveling of celebrity cheaters, and peg it down to the world they live in, full of glitz, glamour and shenanigans.
 When a man cheats, we nail it down to him “being a man”,  might shock us, but then the clichés start, “men are men” or “men are dogs” and we associate the adultery to them being born that way. What would happen if women behaved the same way?
  
When we hear of a woman cheating; we assume she’s in a bad marriage, or being abused or cannot escape, hence it’s more emotional – love, romance and finding someone who will treat you right; discreetly. There are some women who don’t want the emotional attachment and simply want sex, or to satisfy their carnal desires?
We normally tend to support the person, who was cheated on?  So when you hear about a man having sex with random strangers in dirty bathrooms; high priced escorts or employees. Is it because they can, they blame it on sex addiction or high testosterone or simply because we are more accepting that Monogamy and Men don’t gel!

Do we differentiate between MALE and FEMALE infidelity. ...
