In an exclusive report shared with CHQ, SAVE – Stop Abusive and Violent Environments – the 501(c)3 organization working to assure due process, fairness, and equal opportunities for men documented the tragic story of Colette Collins of Bluffton, SC, married to Sam Collins, who began to flirt with her customers to get better tips. Before long, the flirtations escalated into a sexual relationship, eventually leading to a tragic outcome (1).
SAVE notes Colette Collins’ infidelity reveals a troubling new trend in the American marital landscape. Since the 2010s, women have become more likely cheat on their husbands, while male infidelity rates have fallen.
The General Social Survey reveals that among adults ages 25 to 54 years old, in 2021-2022 only 11% of married husbands had been involved in an extramarital affair. In contrast, 14% of wives reported having sex with someone other than their husband.
The GSS (2) also spotlights that among persons in low, lower-middle, or upper middle occupational prestige positions, wives are more likely than husbands to cheat:
- Low prestige: 13% men; 21% women
- Lower-middle prestige: 11% men; 14% women
- Upper-middle prestige: 7% men; 11% women
But an August 25 report by the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) gives the opposite impression (3). Authored by Wendy Wang, the flawed IFS report utilizes a variety of devices to convince the reader to not be concerned about women who cheat.
Of greatest concern, the article bears the misleading title, “Men With Prestigious Jobs Are More Likely to Cheat.” The headline is accompanied by a photograph of an attractive woman smiling seductively at a married man.
Other missteps serve to further deceive the reader:
- The article’s Highlights omits all mention of the fact that wives are more likely to cheat.
- The Subject line in the IFS email is titled, “Cheating men,” with no mention of “cheating women.”
To date, no response has been received from the Institute.
“Men With Prestigious Jobs Are More Likely to Cheat” unfairly stereotypes men, and diverts attention away from the females who are most likely to cheat. The Institute for Family Studies should remove this dishonest and defamatory article from its website and apologize to its readers.
