but I feel like people are turning her into a target for slut-shaming. And while I'm not a fan of Kristen's by any means I feel like she's going to have more to deal with from the fallout then Rupert will. People are already putting most of the blame on her when it should be put equally on both of them.
I usually think of "slut shaming" more in terms of treating girls who sleep around as sluts but not holding men to the same standard, though I suppose it has various meanings.

To me, casually "sleeping around" (presumably while single) is different than "cheating" on a long term partner with a married man.

That said, Rupert is even creepier in my opinion and should be more ashamed and shamed because he's the married one, he has children, he was essentially Kristen's boss, and he is twice her age. He should be the most a/shamed of the bunch.

Kristen is a bigger star, which could explain in part while we'll likely be hearing more about her. But I figure she deserves more or less what she has coming her way.
