By mentioning sexism, when the parent comment doesn't, you're already assuming only women can be cheats. Please don't be a sexist, it's against the HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I don’t understand this at all. The dude you’re responding to is clearly criticizing sexism rather than reinforcing it. There is absolutely nothing in his comment to suggest that “only women can be cheats.”

+1 to implicit sexism. But why an implicit sexism means that a person assumes only women (and not only men) can be cheats?

I've more often met with a misconception that men cheat more often than women.
