And why are women so quick to hold a grudge against another woman, a woman she may not even know, and yet forgive the man who is supposed to love and honor her???.


look at it this way....if you clawed out the eyes of the other woman, would that make things better between you and your husband? Of course not. Because the problem is not the other woman--the problem is your husband.
He will just find someone else to cheat with.

Men are not stupid, nor are they defenseless against the wiles of an attractive, seductive woman. I think some men would like women to think this, because it takes away their accountability, and puts all the fault on the evil temptresses....women. If a man cheats, he is doing it because he has chosen to do so. Plain and simple.

fyi, this does not mean I think women should go out and have affairs with married men. I would never recommend that because it is a waste of time, and very rarely do such relationships lead to committed, stable relationships. The woman usually gets hurt and feels used, and the man is not available to be with her when she might really need him to help through a tough time, etc. AND a man who will cheat on his wife will later cheat on his mistress. Rule of thumb: Once a cheater, always a cheater.

You know, just as an interesting side note, women throughout history have repeatedly taken the blame for a man's succumbing to temptation. Eve is pretty much blamed for gettting herself and Adam thrown out of Eden.

In Islamic cultures, women are told to cover up to various degrees (from a headscarf to a burkah), and if they happen to be raped while not appropriately covered, the blame is on the woman! Because, of course, men cannot control themselves at the sight of an uncovered woman.

And in literature, Ulysses heard the call of the Sirens. Any man who heard them was positively unable to resist.

The idea that women tempt men and men are unable to control themselves has been perpetuated throughout human history. But I don't buy it. These ideas pit women against other women as rivals (not a good thing) and make men less accountable.

Tiger Woods to take 'indefinite' leave from golf - Yahoo! News

Looks like Tiger is taking a break. I hate that. I will miss watching him play. But, I hope he works out his marriage. Looks like both of their hearts are in the right place. I hope the media can chill out and give them some peace.

eh....I'm tired of hearing about Tiger Woods. Lousy husband, lousy role model, good golfer. I wish the media would stay out of the lives of celebrities when stuff like this goes down. Sometimes they need to learn when to back off and let families take care of their problems in private.

Not a Tiger seems like a Cheetah because he's been Lion.

I really feel for his wife. The kids are too young now to even know what's happening, but one day they will hear about it. She has not been the average showboat celebrity wife, by keeping more of a private lifestyle and not blasted in the media everyday. I have admired her for that. She seems to be a beautiful person. He's now shown us that he's a fool. I guess since his father passed he thinks he doesn't have to play by rules anymore. What a jackazz!!! The main thing it's not anyone's business and the media are ho's too. Their phony concern makes me sick. He and his wife have to deal with this problem. Not the media and nor fans.

Me personally...I would have hit him with a golf club, seriously, but not to do any serious damage, for my kids sake. They will need their father.
