Oh, For Christ's Sake ...

I was flicking through the channels just now and saw an article on Inside Edition about cheating wives. Nothing's on, so what the hell, right?

At the end of the article they bring on a marriage counselor who says to the husbands out there watching, if you pay attention to your wife she's likely not to cheat.

Stop. Rewind. Read that another way and she said, if your wife cheats on you, you weren't paying attention to her.

Can you imagine the uproar it would have caused if the article had been about cheating husbands? "Ladies, pay attention to your man or he'll sleep around." No way, not happening. If a man cheats it's because he's a cad.

But if a woman cheats it's because hubby was inattentive. Man cheats, man's fault. Woman cheats, man's fault. What the fuck?
