How come the show doesn’t hold men accountable

I could pull up so many tapes to show that Eric actively pursued Brooke, however she is to blame. No one ever called Eric the $lut from the hills. He’s been with Donna the mother and Brooke. However no one has said he slept his way through the Logan gene pool. Ridge has been with all the Logan women and all of his brothers wives, however his children thinks he’s the perfect guy except for they think he’s flawed because he dared to love Brooke. Thorne chose to be with Brooke. They had been friends for years. Ridge broke them up by manipulating Brooke’s feeling for him. Then there’s Bill. No one has ever ever treated him as nastily as they have Brooke after he slept with his son’s wife. Look at Liam. He’s trying to be a good husband now, but he pit two women against each other for years. He always has a woman waiting when he’s dumped by another. We know Thomases story and the fact we know that according to the dialogue which apparently no longer matters that Ridge had to get Thomas out of trouble in Europe. We also know that his problematic pattern of behavior always involved women. Thomas never went to jail for things that could’ve sent him to jail. So this is why I have a problem with this show. These men have repeated patterns of behavior that are overlooked by the writers and many fans but women don’t get to have sexual prowess. If they do they are called craven. I will never ever deny that Brooke having sex with Deacon was a new low. I just think that everyone should face real consequences for their behavior. The show shouldn’t lay everyone’s issues at Brooke’s feet.

It's like the writers are stuck in 1950. Brooke is put down, but with the men, it is attaboy. None of the other women's past are brought up on the show like Brookes. Stephanie put Brooke down at the beginning of the show calling her names. Yet, Stephanie got pregnant at 17 and had as shotgun wedding to someone else's boyfriend and didn't even know for sure who the baby daddy was. At least Brooke was out of college and working when she got pregnant. Steffy brings up Brooke's past when she has a checkered past of her own. Taylor throws Brooke's past in her face when Taylor shot a man and left him for dead which is worse than Brooke has ever done. Ridge acts like Brooke can't be trusted, but he regularly cheat on her with other women. They need some female writers on the show to get some things from a woman's perspective.
