So if SRK sleeps with PC then PC is the home wrecker.She is the on who destroyed the home of Gauri and is making the two kids suffer.
Same goes for Rekha and Sridevi..They are homewrecker,cheap,characterless and s**t.
But Chitrangada Singh is reported to be seen around Akshay then she is a cheap lady who is betraying her husband.

When a woman has sex with a married man she is said to be the home wrecker.
When a man has sex with a married woman then the woman is a cheater.
So why is always the woman termed as home wrecker?
If a woman i termed as a home wrecker for having relations with a married then why is not a man termed as home wrecker when he sleeps with a married woman?
And what about the married people?Do they have no responsibility to save their home from being wrecked?

Objective analysis

1) The use of word "home" here implies a marriage
2) The reason PC is homewrecker is because she is wrecking a home i.e. SRK's marriage
3) If PC was married and lets say she had affair with a bachelor "Mr. Z" then that "Mr.Z" would be the homewrecker
4) If PC was married and had affair with SRK who is married then both PC and SRK would be homewreckers
5) Homewreckers can be of any gender. For example if SRK has an affair with KaJo (K Johar) then KaJo will be a homewrecker.
6) I agree that SRK should be equally blamed for wrecking his own home and it should not be that non-married party (or even married part as mentioned in 4) is the problem. Same can be applied to PC and Mr. Z. lol
Reality:
I do agree that above is not often the case. The reason women are blamed is because of this mindset that we expect women to be better and when you expect someone to be better then their such actions are seen as taboo and one gets more fascinated, surprised and in case of bollywood its more newsworthy. If you analyze objectively and technically then yes this should work both ways equally.
Note:
I dont think it is appropriate to take names as these are gossips and nothing concrete. In bollywood the number of relationships/affairs = number of movies you are working in. With every movie one hears the hero and heroine are having affair in real life. I had to use above names to explain. I dont believe that there is any affairs going on.

I don't give a shit about who sleeps with who, you know? Unless it breaks my home. The person who shows infidelity in a marriage wrecks it. The one who helps them to by means of extra marital wreck moral. Simple as that.

Sorry for quoting u...u have just pinpoint the truth...Yes it s frm the old ages that accusations r hurled upon on the woman...whenever any woman mingled with a man out of wedlock...It can't be helped prejudice and hypocrisy will not let it go...

I'd say both are faulty...who more than the other is not the issue. And in any case, much as I dislike infidelity, I frankly won't butt inside the matters of someone else, unless it affects me personally.

I don't like the term home wrecker to be honest.

Following is my POV.

It's not wrong to fall in love with a married man/woman. It is wrong however for the married man/woman to start a relationship with the new person without ending their marriage.

So does that make the lover a home wrecker? NO!! The home, which in fact is the marriage, was wrecked already since the married man/woman decided to start an affair.. this could have been because he/she was already unhappy in the relationship. Now whose fault was that.. only the married couple will know. No one but the couple will know what happened in their marriage.. and no one outside, including family and friends, have any right to judge why the marriage ended and who was at fault.

So does that mean the lover is not at fault. I didn't say that. The people who have the affair are equally to blame if they agreed to have the affair while the married man/woman was still with their spouse. But the blame should not be for wrecking the marriage, but for the infidelity - having an affair while still being married.

Now you asked why are women blamed. Unfortunately that's how society works. And sadly, women are the first ones to accuse other women!

There is a kannada actor who got into a public brawl with his wife. She pressed charges against him, and he went to jail. She had taken some ugly beating beatings, and accused him of trying to tear off her earlobes and burned her with cigarette.

The producers tried to persuade the wife to withdraw her case, but she ordered them to get rid of a co-star who was rumored to having an affair with him. So the film association banned her from Kannada industry for three years. The wife withdrew the case saying she fell on the bathroom floor. After public outcry, and media slandering, they withdrew the case with a half baked apology. That actress continued to challenge concrete evidence of their affair, apart from media gossips.

So, a man beat his wife, but people punished other woman, who may or may not be his mistress. What did the actor do? He complained a series of illnesses, and spent his jail term in hospital. Finally he was released on bail. Now he is back to acting in movies, with blind fans supporting him. Sadly, a man always get away, with others supporting in his favor. 🥱

Both, the married man and his gf should be blamed equally. It takes two hands to clap.So the guy too is equally responsible, in fact more responsible than the girl because he is breaking his home with his own hands.
But our patriarchal society loves to blame the woman rather than the man even today. In olden days,kings used to marry more than one woman. The Ramayana and Mahabharata are examples of polygamous marriages. So it has become a general notion that a man can never be happy /satisfied with one woman. It's his nature since olden days to have many women in his life.So if a man commits adultery,our society calls it his nature and blames the woman saying that she must have 'trapped' him.
This mindset of society needs to change asap.

In my opinion both the cheater and his lover are equally at fault for wrecking a home and both should be termed as a home wrecker, but unfortunately in some societies men are put in a high pedestal and it doesn't matter that he was wrong as well the women will always be blamed that bit more. In fact when a husband cheats on the wife, people and hear this most of these people will be women themselves will blame the wife for her husbands infidelity saying "She must have done something to drive him away" "she probably didn't satisfy his needs" and all that bullshit, and honestly how can we expect people not to always blame the women when women themselves blame other women? As much as we talk about equality the truth of the matter is that whenever something goes wrong in a marriage the women will be blamed, be it if the women cheats on the husband or the husband cheats on the women.

It's a very sad truth.
