Tiger Woods, Kobe Briant, John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Silvio Berlusconi, Rafiq Husseini, and now N.D. Tiwari. These names sound familiar? Yes of course they all have cheated on their wives or received sexual favors using their influence or fame. What I continue to be amazed by is how little their behavior phases us anymore. Sure they wind up in the news for a while, but as I recall from the Tiger hype, the topic was presented as more of a laughing matter than anything else. "Well of course he was cheating on his wife"....as if being faithful would have been more noteworthy news. What I'm wondering is why we are letting these figures off the hook! I'm tired of this assumption that it is normal to cheat on your spouse, a mentality that only goes to further trivialize the institution of marriage, objectify women, and affirm male promiscuity. I'm wondering what it's really going to take for this behavior to stop being so disgustingly common that it's acceptable.
The Popular and Prominent continue their womanizing.... will it ever end?!!
