It's really dehumanizing to say women "cannot" have an affair for purely physical reasons. Women are people just like men and their motivations are just as complex and diverse as men's.

As a woman I hard disagree. Women absolutely forms emotional attachments, sex is not physical on the level it is for men. If it was there would be massive industries dedicated to satiating their physical needs like for men.

We are built differently and its not dehumanizing to be a woman because we are more emotional.

You said women categorically cannot have an affair for purely physical reasons. Do you really think out of the billions of women that have lived on earth that exactly zero had an affair for physical reasons?
“Women are people, just like men are people.” - yes, obviously.

“Women are people, who are just like men.” - Noooop!

Wow I never said women are just like men, did I?
"Women are people just like men"

What you did say is known as equivocation. That's what I'm pointing out.
