Why are men so afraid?

This is a good intelligent film which portrays the angst and confusion people feel in relationships. Michelle Williams' character Margot suffers a lot for her decisions and is clearly unhappy. Her "cheating" is not superficial or shallow but is part of her complex, confused personality, which ends up with her feeling lost and that she is just repeating her pattern with another man. The men here who talk about feminist male-bashing or double standards are just idiots who miss all the depth in this movie. Why can't men (like me) accept this challenge and grow up?

Her "cheating" is not superficial or shallow coz she didn't cheat for fun? what was the reason she cheated for then?!
she did that for the fun she had with Daniel, that is how cheating usually works
a woman with a stranger laughing and smiling and allowing him to talk to her like that saying what he is going to do with her body
that is cheating and how it works, she had the power to say no and not get involved from the beginning to the end but she didn't so that is a huge mistake and admitting that is good for those who won't allow it to happen in the first place and they deserve respect for not allowing it by us admitting that was a huge mistake.
