Tiger Woods' Statement

Re: Tiger Woods' Statement

  • Personally, I don't see how Tiger's wife could forgive him, especially considering how long the affair went on.  I'd be amazed if their marriage actually survives this. 

  • It's kind of like what they've done with body image. The more people see it, it becomes the norm, not the exception. And then THAT becomes socially acceptable.

    Let's not make cheating socially acceptable.

    [QUOTE]If we stop caring about celebrity daliances, does that then start making it the norm for non-celebrity husbands, etc. to cheat?  If we stop ignoring it, are we then normalizing the behavior and then it's no longer a stigma to cheat on your spouse?

    I don't care about celebrity dalliances because it doesn't affect me. I DO care about dalliances of friends, because the fallout from that does affect me and/or my family. As someone whose first husband cheated, I understand the pain and outrage she is feeling, and empathize. But let her lick her wounds in private, people.

    But, all bets are off if the philanderer is a Bible thumper who preaches "family values" from the pulpit or Senate floor. They need to be outed for the fuckinghypocrites they are.
