I was just reading an article in the
NYT on the Spitzer scandal, and it's specifically about wives wondering if their husband's have cheated, when, to me, it should be about
"spouses" who live with that dread, or have experienced it. And, yea, I have a whole file on the
on the subject, filled with
crazy stories of women doing
the most heinous things to their
dedicated husbands. Or even weirder,
more unsettling, occurrences.
Once someone has been plunged into this aspect of life - especially the legal part - people who haven't had to deal with it appear naive, while those who have been there can seem crazy. I get that. But the truth is (as I see it) we live in
a feminized culture - not in all things but it's there - and to deny that
it can tip too far, one way or the other, does a disservice to the idea of equality that, I think, we all desire.
