Im of course referring to the tendency of middle eastern men in particular

To clarify, those men are specifically first-generation or second-generation immigrants who buy into a hypermasculine traditionalist culture. You'd see the same behaviour from an American evangelical, or a Chinese Confucianist. Be careful not to miss the forest for the trees.

Lmfao such bigotry of low expectations. As if “well it’s their culture” would ever be an expectable excuse for the same behavior from an American evangelical.

You appear to be confusing a reason with an excuse. Explaining why something happens doesn't excuse why it happened.

I don't know what you're pretending such absurd "whataboutism" in that post was, if not an excuse.

Because it explains the reason of the behavior, they did not say the explanation justifies the behavior or makes it okay in anyway.
