You obviously only read what you want to, because I CLEARLY SAID: I don't condone what he did and it's unacceptable. I said he should not be given a second chance. You're just trying to boost your own ego here like the OP.
The Point for those of you who can't effectively read: HE MADE A MISTAKE AND NOW HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU SO MOVE ON, WHY DWELL ON WHAT THIS DOUCHEBAG DID? FORGET HIM AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE. WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH HIM? TO CONVICT HIM IN COURT OF BEING AN A$$HOLE? GET OVER IT
So now he's a douchebag? A few posts back you were stating how everyone makes mistakes and shouldn't be judged on one mistake. So which is it?

To answer the OP's original question ........ um maybe because you were flippant or sarcastic about it ... did you go back to your group of friends and make fun of the person? Did you roll your eyes or make a face of disgust?

In what way is it a mistake as opposed to a deliberate misdeed? What's your definition of the difference between the two?
The long answer: Because no one ever taught them how to lose gracefully and learn from defeat.
I agree about the jerks but what are they really supposed to learn?
A big outcome of the women's movement is that there are a lot of men out there who have done everything they had control over right and have little luck with women. The "movement" has told women for 40 years that they deserve a man who is so much better than themself and this leaves the men who are comperable to them completely out of the loop.
There is a lot of built up resentment when he hears things like:
1) Men are treating women badly. He knows this is because they go after a select minority who know where they stand with women and use this to the max. In contrast, women attribute this behavior to "all" men. Decent men who don't attract women due primarily to superficial things (mainly physical appearance) get no quarter given when women even suspect they may be like that while the good looking guys not only get a free pass but repeated chances to screw up.
2) He is first told he should get married and then shamed for being single. The options he has and is presented with are far below the standards he has set by becoming educated, getting a career, not making a mistake with having children in an unstable relationship, is not neurotic or mentally unstable, has his spending under control and he has reasonable expectations with a future oriented outlook. The women he's expected to jump for are deficient in at least 3 of the above and often have many other problems too.
Posters like Redisca make out that the previous era was worse than today and for some, a small minority, it was. However, these guys who form the bedrock of society had little problem then finding a woman as good as they are and forming long solid marriages. Now this is no longer the case. There are at least 20 single, never married men where I work who fit this profile and I know many more elsewhere.

Why the anger?
