That's why I said they usually cheat because they feel emotionally neglected (which I should note isn't the same thing as being emotionally neglected), just as men usually cheat for physical reasons. Of course there are plenty of exceptions, but my point is that the idea that women are sluts who are leaving their beta husbands for chads just isn't back by any actual data. I do, however, recognise that I might have been a bit overly reductive.
Indeed I did miss the word *feel*, and that completely changes the meaning, and with that message I'd wholeheartedly agree with you in a majority of cases.
While I still think making sweeping statements on this stuff isn't terribly productive, (I'm going to defend one of them right now

)- [re: data on chads/betas]- simple, fathering vs mothering rates. Something like 85% of women at mothering age cutoff have children, whereas for men it's like 66%. That's a HUGE discrepency, less than 1 outta five women versus 1 out of three guys. Progressives will hear this and immediately jump to "that's because men are cads and would rather fuck around than settle down!", but that really doesn't jibe with my interactions speaking with other guys, the vast majority ultimately WANT to settle down, I'd wager those who "permanently aspire to be a fuckboi" are probably less than 1 in 10.
Having said that, the "Zack" type characters are pure imagination for sure, often created by those who feel oppressed.
