Women are still lagging behind men in at least one area ... rule-breaking. According to recent studies, men have lower moral standards than women, especially when they have to defend their manhood, Scientific American reports.
Studies show that men are more likely than women to minimize the consequences of moral misconduct; to adopt ethically questionable tactics in strategic endeavors; and to engage in greater deceit, Scientific American reports. In other words, whether you're engaging in a business deal or choosing a life partner, you might be better off trusting a woman.
Guys are especially likely to be "immoral" in when success means proving their masculinity -- and yes, the workplace and the playing field both come to mind. But we have to wonder: Are guys more likely to engage in this sort of behavior because they're still more likely to be competing in these arenas than women? Or are men intrinsically more immoral? What do you think?

But I'm guessing most people are reading the word "moral" here and giving it a sexual connotation. I'm here to tell you that women are NO different than men in that area...they're just much more careful. They have to be because our jacked up society is so much more judgmental (unfairly) of women than it is of men. I'm not trying to put women down here either...I'm just saying that women are not the pictures of chastity and nest-building that our society expects them to be.
Edit: Hmmmm...after thinking about it for a minute. I think I'd like to say that men are more aggressive than women which may cause us to cross the line more often and get busted for it. But it's probably true to say that the female gender has just as much potential for immorality as the male gender.
Or in denial?
Though when I remember the original desperate house wife. Potiphar's wife from Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors. Woman are guilty too. Especially if they married because of money, looks and fame. Or they have not had any attention, sexual or otherwise. Though relying on just sex is not formula for a successful relationship.
Men, on the other hand, tend to have more problems with sexual immorality (pedophilia, homosexuality, adultery, & being promiscuous). They also have a tendency toward bitterness, anger, greed & power.
Women are catching up with men in the sexual immorality, but they are well behind them in violent crimes & pedophilia. So, I pretty much consider it a draw between men & women, making us all very "human".

So-called sex trafficking is another big propaganda beat up. It may happen in some countries but it's mainly claimed in western countries by prostitutes caught working without work permits, few investigations ever supporting the claims. Also, UN research shows that the trafficking and financial enslavement of men for their labour is a much bigger issue.
Men will always commit more sexual crimes than women because of biological factors (but that's not to diminish offenders' responsibility for their behaviour). Morality isn't just about sex and violence. Western women initiate about 80% of relationship break-ups, failing to honour their marital vows in search of more personal happiness, thereby depriving their children of the security and identity of their biological family unit . Women mostly think it's ok that the partner they ditched after using him to make children is then enslaved by the state to continue to pay for her upkeep through so-called 'child support' that is often much more than children need cost to run. Women will often see themselves as entitled to plunder their ex-partners' assets earned well before ever meeting them, but when women have more wealth than a prospective partner they are more likely to demand a strong prenuptual agreement to ensure a separating partner gets nothing of theirs. Women often steal from their employers, shoplift and commit fraud offences. Women often use false allegations in family courts to increase their chances of getting what they want. All these things show poor morality.
Women's crime rates in many categories traditionally dominated by men have been rising rapidly towards the male levels since the age of feminism. This suggests that personal morality regarding those crimes was not the main constraint on women.
