Is this grammatically correct? What does it mean? Any possible rephrasing? I genuinely want someone to educate me on why it is considered okay for men to cheat, but not women. When a man cheats, it’s often excused or overlooked, but when a woman does, i
Yes, the text is grammatically correct.
The meaning of the passage is that the speaker is seeking clarification on the perceived double standard regarding infidelity: men are often forgiven or their cheating is minimized, while women face severe judgment for the same behavior. The speaker is expressing frustration with the common justification for this double standard, specifically the idea that men are inherently polygamous.
Here’s a possible rephrasing:
"I genuinely want to understand why society seems to accept cheating by men but not by women. When a man cheats, people often excuse it or ignore it, whereas a woman’s infidelity is viewed as completely unacceptable.
Please don’t respond with the idea that 'men are naturally polygamous.'"
