I was going through some statistics about cheating and found that a larger proportion of people see a Married Man cheating as unequivocally morally wrong than a Married Woman and was interested to get opinions on this. Any idea why that is? Acknowledgement of the dynamics of Patriarchy? Infantilization of women? Something else?

Having an affair is morally wrong for a … Married Woman Married Man
Men 53% 61%
Women 56% 70%
Caucasian Women 56% 71%
Black Women 63% 65%
Hispanic Women 53% 73%
Women with high school of less 61% 75%
Women with some college 57% 69%
Women with a college degree 54% 71%
Women with Post-Graduate degree 45% 58%

The complete data for men sees a similar trend but with a narrower gap.
