Bad guys are tricking good girls into doing bad things that they don't really want to do.
Whereas I think women who cheat on their husbands know exactly what they're doing, and if it wasn't one guy it would be another. I don't think they're victims, and I don't think it's accidents. People don't just trip and fall into bed together.
Or if they do, I'm going to wrong parties.

If I were a woman I'd be deeply offended by these inferences, because it appears as though those espousing these beliefs think that women don't have any agency over their own actions.
That's a very primitive belief.
