famous male adulterers get devalued while the "femme fatale" gets fame

why does it seem that the women who play an equal part in breaking up the marriage of a famous men seem to get elevated "notority," and in some cases "fame," while the men get hammered, denounced and etc.?
why is that the amoral women in many cases get books published, morning show invitations, massive media coverage, magazine centerfold contracts and the like.
shouldn't both be equally devalued? what kind of example is this setting for young teen females?
Live life as though each moment is as precious & beautiful as a rainbow after a spring rain. b positive, creative, kind, productive, resourceful & respectful of humankind, & feel free 2 know that U-R-A star. i can feel it when u shine on me nod

i have no idea what you are talking about. The female adulterer gets called all kinds of names. take a look at the Tiger Woods thread. Yes, they wrote books and all that but I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that wants to be like them.

Honestly I think it's on the man not to cheat.

oh. I guess I don't pay attention. lol

I don't think anyone is glamourizing being the other woman. There's simply a story to sell and if someone's gonna talk they know there will be viewers. shrug Besides, no one is being kind to these women, in the Tiger case anyway.

And while I believe knowingly being the other woman is wrong, it pales in comparison to betraying your spouse, someone you have made a promise to. Let's place the blame firmly where it belongs.

in the cases mentioned here (Tiger, Lewinsky, etc.), the woman has gotten notoriety or fame because she had none before and has now been thrust into the spotlight, whereas the men get chastised because we are already familiar with them through pre-established fame, and the blame gets put on them, because that's the story and they've been put on some pedastal previously..

Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal

The Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal began on March 10, 2008, when The New York Times reported that Democratic New York Governor Eliot Spitzer had patronized a prostitution service called Emperors Club VIP. This ultimately led him to announce his resignation as governor on March 12, effective March 17.






Ashley Alexandra Dupre, a.k.a. "Kristen"




Issue of New York Post containing Ashley Dupré photographsMain article: Ashley Alexandra Dupré
"I just don't want to be thought of as a monster," the 22-year-old Dupré,an aspiring pop recording artist living in Manhattan, told the New York Times, "This has been a very difficult time. It's complicated. Dupré was the subject of intense media coverage in the days after her role in the scandal became public. On March 15, the New York Post published an extensive photo shoot showing Dupré in provocative poses. As of October 22, 2008 (2008 -10-22)[update], Dupré's profile on MySpace.com had received nearly 12 million page views,
Dupré had reportedly been offered $1 million by Hustler to pose nude for the magazine, and has received unofficial offers from Penthouse, among others.

Jim Bakker



James Orsen "Jim" Bakker is an American televangelist, a former Assemblies of God minister, and a former host (with his then-wife Tammy Faye Bakker) of The PTL Club, a popular evangelical Christian television program. A sex scandal led to his divorce from wife Tammy Faye Bakker and his resignation from the ministry. Subject to the scandal: Jessica Hahn.



Jessica Hahn



Hahn burst into the media limelight following Bakker's announcement on March 19, 1987 that he was stepping down as head of PTL and Heritage USA, pending the imminent disclosure of the (alleged) sexual encounter.
Hahn subsequently used the notoriety she had gained by appearing nude in several Playboy magazine pictorials and videos, and appeared in a variety of TV shows, including Married... with Children. She also gained notoriety from her relationship with comedian Sam Kinison, and appeared in his music video for "Wild Thing" in 1988. She often appears in person and as a call-in guest on The Howard Stern Show on Sirius satellite radio.

She lives in Beverly Hills.

there are plenty more examples however space doesn't allow me to post the many oother women of ill gotten fame.

People are always curious as to the nature of the pussy that causes a grown, intelligent, affluent man to risk everything for it, therefore, people will pay good money to the ho to see if there is a secret that can be learned that made the pussy "all dat" hmmm

Sadly there is no magical pussy. disbelief

Men are dicks. With dicks. And then the men are devalued for thinking with their dicks because they really should have known better. However, you really can't bash a ho for being a ho, or for being a clever ho and getting paid! nod
