"Should I give him another chance" indicates to me an impression that the perceived M-F power balance in the writer's mind is tipped in their direction: 3 strikes and you are out, or is it one, or two? The writer gets to decide. Men are simply performers for her favor.
Weird. If I search for Relationships with "chance" in the title, I find a whole bunch from male posters using the same terminology. It looks like you're being disingenuous and cherry-picking threads to make some kind of point.

Irony.
So tell me, is English your second language? You dodged the question the last time. You completely misuse and misunderstand words regularly. Here, you show a complete misunderstanding of the word "irony".
So, is English your second language? Just wondering as people would be a lot more understanding or flexible with you if it was.
So you are saying that women give or grant guys opportunities?
Basically, yes. I see where you're going with this, and while it's basically (and unfortunately) true, I don't see that much can be done about it other than to complain.
Perhaps because men don't use the same terminology, phrasing, wording, etc. for what is, practically speaking, synonymous.
Yes, and no.
Imagine the exact phrasing reversed. The post would suddenly take on a stronger tone of conceit. It's not a world-ender, obviously, but obviously strikes a nerve with some.

Irony is misused on here all the time and is only seconded by the misuse of the poetic phrase " tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" in reference to matters of romantic love.
No matter how many times the misuse is explained it continues unabated.
Are yo bothered by those post ? Woman stick with one man and if they go wild woman will try to give a second chance but if a man wanna give a second chance he has to give it for whole village that is why you don't find any threads. but I do agree with JustJulia.
"Giving a chance" to someone isn't just a phrase used by people... Both men and women. I wouldn't read too much into it like there is some "deeper meaning" to it all. And you can find examples of how the same phase is used by men as well as women (when referring to themselves). I did a search of thread titles as well.
Threads started by men about giving women "a chance" or even giving themselves "a chance"
Single mothers, do men refuse to give you a chance?
Should take the chance to date this classly hot girl if the date is going be quite expensive?
Does EVERYONE regret giving the ex a 2nd chance ?
Second chance after being stood up?
Average Joe's have a chance at a model looking girl?
Should I give a final chance or ignore and move on?
I would say there are more threads by women give the idea of "second chances" more thought in threads. But when you read all of these threads about second chances, it's not really about giving the "relationship" a chance... not necessarily that they think they are doing the guy (or in the case of the men the girl) some great favor. They just want to salvage things.
