Jane Says

The Tiger Woods saga continues…what is he up to now, 14 mistresses?? I’d say Tiger is no longer in the petting zoo and sometime in his case it could be considered the heavy petting zoo!  Welcome to the dog house, Tiger.  That’s where you’re at now in the minds of most American women and probably most of Sweden too since that is where your wife is from. 

As for the men of America, I think they’re breathing a sigh of relief to know that Tiger is not as perfect as they once thought.  It’s true, Tiger was once perceived to be the perfect male specimen with his career, endorsements, family life…so we thought. 

The sound of sweat wiping from the brow and the gasping of “Whew!” across the country from American men is loudly heard on the streets, in blogs and male locker rooms.  With the recent unearthed drama, Tiger has proven that he’s not perfect which I sense is giving men the go ahead that cheating is okay.  What do I mean by that, well, my feeling is the men of America now think it’s okay to be unfaithful because if the ‘perfect man’, the epitome of goodness, does it then they can too; it must be all right.  I am hearing from my male collegues that guys didn’t think Tiger was human before all this went down and now that they know he cheats they feel it gives them permission to do it as well.  “Tiger did it and he’s perfect,” they say.  Did I know they felt this way? No. 

Tiger has been totally forgiven in the world of sponsorships and golf, and in the world of red blooded American men.  All this publicly magnified cheating that has gone on over the past 3 months with others like Tiger, including David Letterman and Josh Duhamel, makes it seem fine to step-out on your wife.  Is it really any of our business what happens in the private lives of these celebrities? Does the media have to make the count of Tiger’s mistresses the top story? Can’t we leave infidelity out of the mainstream media so it doesn’t give anyone the idea that cheating is okay? 

Listen nobody is perfect, we all have skeletons in the closet, including me.  But let’s make this a lesson of becoming a better man not creating the belief that cheating is acceptable… because it’s not.
