Should you happen to be someone who actually reads my blog, you may have been offended by Friday’s post, “I Suffer for Tiger Woods”.
If so, I am sorry, but I cannot take back any part of my comments regarding the Tiger Woods tragedy. The tragedy was the publicity, of course.
My little sister, now 79, who still lives in the Bible Belt in Kansas strongly disagreed with my sympathy for Tiger Woods. She, like so many other people, now sees this once famous American as slime because, after all his successes, he defensively made plans to protect himself emotionally even though it involved deceiving his wife. That was very poor judgement on his part. But is it a cardinal sin? Is it unforgivable? Not in my book.
There is no question that men have, have had, and may always have certain advantages over women. It’s a physical world and they’re bigger and stronger than we are, physically. So be it.
It’s just that in striving to compete with those male advantages, we may be losing sight of our own powers. We are woman. Woman lures man. She is not usually forced into illicit behavior but usually goes there by choice. Having made that choice I think she should admit responsibility, that’s all.
