''Congratulations! You emasculated your son and disempowered your daughter.''
Since Thanksgiving, news of the Tiger Woods infidelity scandal has continued to shock us. The mistress count of this once-squeaky-clean superstar increments daily. The last tally was 14, but I gave up after he was linked to Jessica Simpson. Tiger’s behavior is reprehensible; his sponsors — and wife — were right to leave him.
There are a few facets of this sordid story, though, that aren’t surprising. First, Elin Nordegren, Tiger’s scorned wife, inflicted domestic violence on her cheating husband — with impunity. No matter how angry or jealous or wronged a woman feels, she has no right to hit a man. Yet, our society condones and trivializes female-on-male violence. Barry Williams (aka Greg Brady) most likely will see his dangerous fiancee get a slap on the wrist for her violence.
Had Tiger caught Elin with other men, then proceeded to beat and scratch her face, chase her with a golf club, and smash her car windows, he’d be in jail or anger management. America’s gynocracy, however, has a double standard: a cheating husband is worse than an animal — while a cheating wife is merely a helpless, troubled victim.
Second, it has been reported that Elin will move her children to Sweden, without Tiger’s permission. As I’ve written before: women own children; men rent them. Can you imagine any judge allowing a man to move his children far away from a cheating wife? No, you can’t.
Third, it’s not too surprising, and is perhaps ironic, that Tiger was unfaithful to Elin: father Earl was unfaithful to Tiger’s mother. Products of cheating, alcoholic, violent, or distant parents often bury their feelings about painful childhood experiences, harden their hearts, and then repeat those same behaviors in adulthood.
Finally, Elin could have predicted her husband’s philandering. According to various sources, her gut told her to not to get involved with Tiger, but she ignored her gut — always a bad idea. Let’s examine the red flags... http://www.newswithviews.com/Rudov/marc134.htm
