While cheating is wrong, I think that comparing that with Hitler, who commited genocide and torture thousands of people is out of place.

Now, the article is about that situations where women are basically talking about feminism or just living their lives and a man comes out of nowhere to told us we should change so he likes us better. And that if we don't make amends, we "would die alone"/remain single, etc.

That has nothing to do with cheating. I mean, if we are single, it is impossible to cheat. And if we have a partner and we are talking about house chores (to put a common example), what has to do with cheating? Asking for a partner to wash the dishes or do laundry is unrelated to cheating. To be fair, it could even happen the other way around. A woman might be complaining about cheating husbands and get the same speech about men "needing more sex" and women need to be "forgiving" in order to not die alone.

And the actual point of all this is, sometimes is better to be "alone" than have the wrong partner. And for many feminist, the threat of becoming a spinster is not as terrible as the idea of ending with a man who doesn't respect you and consider you and equal.
