John, I'm almost positive I read this here yesterday.

From the "If it feels good, do it." culture.

And what hurts betrayed women more is discovering their husband's lover didn't look as good as they do. What is it with men and dowdy mistresses is something most of us will never understand although its probably an unconscious punishment for cheating. For men adultery occurs in the absence of physical satisfaction from their partners; for women it stems from being lonely and emotionally unfufilled. Rabbi Boteach is correct that adultery is the most devastating experience people encounter in life next to divorce and death. It is not a consummation devoutly to be wished.

Single women who have affairs with married men should be held accountable

And, the men? NOT held accountable?

Here's a thought.....obey the vows you took before God. How 'bout that?

I remember a Laurel and Hardy short, where Ollie's wife threatens to sue Stan for "Alienation of Affection."

Good grief. Yet another World Net Daily biased rant. There's so many threads from that site it makes one wonder if this is no longer a Freeper site but a Netty site.

I try to avoid WND threads but this one is too much. WND has once again gone off the deep end. No, Monica doesn't owe Shrillary anything. She had no alliance with her. Bubba is the only one who owes her (as a spouse) and the nation (as it's president) an apology.

Why indeed in the sad Clinton-Lewinsky scandal was all the opprobrium heaped on Bill and almost none on Monica?

The author must have been out of towm or under a rock during the clinton presidency. This was all blamed on lewinsky for "seducing" clinton.

Sorry, but, I am a man and I am married. If I ever decided to have an affair (which I wouldn't because I love my wife dearly) why would I not be the one blamed. If I lied, tricked, deceived and pursued a single woman into bed with me, with my marital status unbeknownst to her, why is she to blame?

See that's the problem, people are so quick to go after the woman. That's what I don't understand. If it is rape, the strategy is to discredit the woman, if it is an affair as stated above, it is the woman's fault. You know that is the one thing that made my blood boil with the whole Clinton/Lewinsky fling...the press attacked her. Granted she is no innocent, but the insults, slurs and harrassment that she suffered as a result, while Clinton basically had no backlash was unbelievable. Anyone remember the 'portly pepperpot' descriptiuon added to her name in just about every news article? did anyone, anyone ever ask Clinton ...Hey you were married, why did you pursue this young intern? Why couldn't you keep it in your pants? He even talks about it in his book, like it was no big deal. he had to sleep on the couch for awhile...big deal.

Speaking as a father of a young girl, I truly think the world would be a better place if a greater percentage of the men in this world kept "it" in their pants.

If Monica Lewinsky were to have stolen Hillary Clinton's watch .............



At least she would have had something worth a damn.

[ccmay]

there can be no doubt that the deep marital dissatisfaction among ignored and neglected wives has led to a startling explosion of women who believe that indulging their right to feel sexy in another man's arms is an acceptable solution to an unsatisfying relationship.

Let me point out that there are a number of women who don't seem to WANT to feel sexy in their husbands' arms, much less anyone else's. Women are fools if they think they can cut their men off from sexual intimacy for months at a time, and not run the risk of them looking elsewhere. You can say anything you want about what men SHOULD do in such a case, but it's like spitting in the wind, given the power of the male sexual drive.

Ridiculous. It's the man who signed the covenant, not the girl.

[Mr. Bird]

I found it outrageous and immoral when so many people asserted that Hillary Clinton experienced no anguish in the Monica Lewinsky scandal because she and Bill "had an understanding." Here was a case of a wife being robbed not only of her husband, but of her legitimate right to experience pain. I have never been a great fan of Hillary Clinton's politics, but dehumanizing her through speculation as to her reptilian nature and her inability to feel aggrieved by a philandering husband was downright criminal, especially when many who were making the allegations claimed to be defenders of the institution of marriage.

Oh please. Hillary's "reptilian nature" is hardly speculative; she accepted ongoing philandering in exchange for power. The only legitimate pain she experienced at the time was that of despot who feels his power slipping away; not that of a woman scorned.

I understand the good Rabbi's point, but the Clinton's are hardly an appropriate example of the pain of infidelity.

[wildwood]

WHAT ABOUT APOLOGIZING FOR RUINING LINDA TRIPP"S LIFE??? GEEZ! the arrogance! the misdirection of a shallow and vain and vacuous life!!! tripp has a so-called friend tell her all kinds of ILLEGALITIES and then makes her swear, complete with veiled threats, not to tell THE TRUTH in court!!!! WHAT ABOUT HER?

[Right Wing Professor]

Married men who are unfaithful lack gratitude, display obscene selfishness, and offend the Creator – who in His infinite kindness provided them with a lifelong companion to mitigate their loneliness and provide erotic excitement

So if lifelong companion doesn't provide same, it's OK to have an affair then?

[jimt]

In the olden days when adultery was taken seriously, a participant in adultery could be sued for "alienation of affection".

Why not today ?

[Melas]

It's obvious: We need a constitutional amendment against adultery.
