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?

do you think there are women who wish they could be a Lewinsky?

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.

What kool-aid you drinkin', baby?

Can you give an example? Cause I have no idea what you're talking about.

I believe she is talking about people like the Tiger Woods mistresses and the Eliot Spitzer callgirl.

oh. I guess I don't pay attention.

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. 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..

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"

Sadly there is no magical pussy.

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!
