I think this song is about her, as much as it is about a cheating guy. She's sleeping with a bloke who's married, and she hates that he's doing this to his wife, while at the same time realising that she's just as bad; she's doing to this woman what her father and his lover did to her mother.
The Freudian fate thing, I think, is brilliant; she's just doing the same thing her father did because she's screwed up...
It's like the guy said in the intro to the deluxe edition of Frank, she could just as easily be singing "What it is about me" rather than "What it is about men", she'd just rather not blame herself; she'd have to hate herself then.
