The Secret Lives of Wives

I just read an interesting (and very disturbing) article explaining that affairs by married women are on the rise. The feminists seem happy that "women have suddenly begun to give themselves the same permission to step over the boundary the way that men have." An example is given of a woman who falls in love with a handsome stay-at-home dad she meets at a playground. "The affair doesn’t last but it gives her the impetus she needs to leave her husband, a weaselly man with a fetish for the underpants of a swinger he met online." Okay . . . the problem I have with this is that it implies that two wrongs make a right. It suggests that if someone else acts wrongly, it gives you the liberty to act badly as well. And then it incorrectly implies that, once you’ve made that decision, all is wonderful in the world.

The article went on to say that one reason women have affairs is that they are overworked and their husbands are "inattentive." And pray tell me, why are feminists "happy" that women are having more affairs if having an affair is the result of being exhausted and in a bad marriage?!! Now, I understand that you people who read my blog are intelligent enough to figure out that feminists absolutely do not look out for the best interests of women. I just pity those who do. Wake up!
