Its a very complicated situation why we have come into this mess.
I think its because women, never takes the responsibility or the blame, they are seen as a weaker gender, and the "victim, and winning the support of society. This is because women on the past generations are seen as "inferiors", submissive, and acts only as support etc.
As for men, society has a higher standard for us in terms of judgement I mean look at our laws and you'll see how it is very unfavorable for men to commit mistakes vs women (Rape, harassment, domestic violence). society expect men to always do the right thing, or the mature thing.
Yet women wants to be treated equally like men, then they should be treated like men too.
