Whenever a popular figure such as Tiger Woods is caught in a public scandal involving alleged marital infidelity, many people (women in particular) are quick to attack the mistresses. They are called “homewreckers,” “whores,” “sluts,” “trash,” and every other name you can think of.
Maybe the women are all of those things or maybe none of them. However, I think it is at the very least disingenuous to attack the mistresses.
The blame for what happened to Tiger Woods belongs to Tiger Woods and no one else, especially not the women he slept with.
It’s laughable when I hear female pundits sanctimoniously declare on national television that they would NEVER do such a thing. They call the mistresses “trash” and feign outrage that these women would knowingly sleep with a married father of two.
It’s easy for highly educated women with careers and fat salaries to make such declarations. If these same women woke up one morning and found themselves in their mid-20’s (or older), a high school diploma on the wall, working as a cocktail waitress — they’d be singing a different tune.
Someone in that situation being given the opportunity to sleep with a billionaire superstar athlete is like hitting the lottery. Opportunities like that are rare and should be seized upon.
Maybe said athlete is only interested in a one night stand and you’ll never see him again. But what if said athlete likes you and wants to have a relationship? What if he puts you in touch with a buddy of his that can help you launch the career you’ve always dreamed of?
Worst case scenario, the relationship becomes public and you sell your story for a $1 million dollars. Either way, you’re not a cocktail waitress anymore making $6 an hour.
The women Tiger slept with should be held least responsible. Tiger made the choice to cheat on his beautiful wife and shame his family. Those women were simply seizing an opportunity that life threw their way.
Two of the women are reportedly getting big payoffs from Tiger, at least two are selling their stories for big $$$, and we don’t know about the others (minus the two porn stars).
That means at least four of the women have dramatically changed the course of their lives for the better due to their decision to sleep with Tiger Woods.
Good for them.

Your diary doesn't belong at RedState.
janis (Diary) Friday, December 11th at 3:19PM EST (link)Perhaps you meant to post it at TMZ or one of the other gossip sites? You list yourself as a conservative, but you apparently have no real idea what that means or you wouldn’t be congratulating women on committing adultery as a smart career move.
Yes, I blame the women who knew he was married and a father when they chose to commit adultery. But I don’t blame them more than I blame him. Mostly I view the adults involved in this sordid tale as inexcusably selfish and undisciplined, not to mention unprincipled. There are two innocent children involved here.
If someone wakes up one morning and doesn’t like the salary they make, it’s up to them to get more education and work harder to have more to offer a legitimate employer or start a business of their own.

Ok folks, 2012 is here. Get involved
I can't believe this diary will stay published at RedState...
Hoosier Economist (Diary) Friday, December 11th at 5:12PM EST (link)I have witnessed the demise of diaries far less appalling than this one at RedState. This is neo-Feminist propaganda, and it’s absurd. It belongs over at The Daily Kos, not here.
You have got to be kidding on this diary. This is garbage.
Danielle Davis (ocleverone) (Diary) Friday, December 11th at 6:58PM EST (link)What a slap in the face to women everywhere. You equate sex with bettering a woman’s life. You obviously have no respect for women. You attempt to condone this behavior and it is disgusting.
First, the adultery part – you think it’s okay to sleep with a married man because it is hitting the jackpot?? Using that logic, prostitutes are just trying to better themselves.
Forget a woman’s dignity, morals or values. Forget holding on to any morality. No no, don’t focus on those. Don’t judge them in fact, don’t even comment on them – they are just hittin’ the jackpot. /snark
By publishing this tripe, you demean accomplishments of women everywhere. You spit in the face of all women who do have values, that do have respect for themselves (and other women) and who every day conduct themselves with respect.
Be gone slimer. You are clueless.
To me, “consensus” seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects … There are still people in my party who believe in “consensus” politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors … I mean it. — Margaret Thatcher
Hey Moe can you ditch this piece of tripe?....
JadedByPolitics (Diary) Friday, December 11th at 7:52PM EST (link)it is absolutely the most ridiculous joke portraying itself as a diary on a Conservative site. This TRASH is truly for the left NOT the right. Those women are as much to blame as Tiger is. They all knew he was married and still they whored themselves out to sleep with a superstar and ANYONE who doesn’t see that a woman who would sleep with someone based entirely on their status knowing full well they are NOT going to be getting that ring to get married is a SLUT.
It is not a career move for those women except perhaps for the actual hookers. I don’t personally have a problem with them earning their living it’s their choice but the others are deluding themselves if they don’t believe they are paid whores too!

I blame Tiger's women...
6eorge Jetson (Diary) Friday, December 11th at 8:29PM EST (link)Now if this diary hadn’t been published, I wouldn’t be blaming them here, now would I?
The point of this diary is crazy but it is true
mom2oneson (Diary) Saturday, December 12th at 8:57AM EST (link)that women are usually blamed “more” than men with extra-marital affairs. The man is never a cheating jerk there is always more blame on the girlfriend. I’ve seen it a lot with friends. I’m sure there are exceptions but from what I’ve seen with men they can be very aggressive trying to cheat. I’ve seen it with nice church going family men not celebrities. I do not believe for a minute that relationships “just happen” what I’ve seen with men is they are very aggressive trying to get your personal information.
