Humans are contradictory in nature, so their actions end up that way too.
But there's little contradiction here. Women (and men) don't cheat because
they are sex-starved. Cheating is more about the power and the exhiliration
than physical need. Women enjoy another adding notch to their scorecards
just as much as men, and maybe even more so in modern society, as the
feminine empowerment culture spills over into the cheating arena. Cheating
is just another kind of empowerment, it's about asserting dominance, peer
pressure. Societal bias used to allow or even encourage only men to cheat
(and even brag about it), now the tables are turned. As to whose fault it
is... Maybe it's just that marriage is a concept getting antiquated. The
divorce rates may be an indication that the society is caught between
conflicting demands, that we cannot have our cakes and eat it too.
