Tiger Woods is in hot water with feminists for cheating on his wife. In fact, it’s so bad they think he should be physically beaten for it, preferably with a Taylor-Made graphite 3 wood.

Listen to these bizarre statements from anti-domestic violence activists:

From Mika Brzezinskiof MSNBC’s Morning Joe:

I totally understand [Tiger's wife, Elin] using a golf club to go after him. Totally.

Right Mika, and the next time a man reacts violently to his wife’s infidelity you’ll be sure to defend that.

Here’s Jessica Ashley of Shine.Com (emphasis added):

I am not going to opine about whether Elin should or should not stick with her husband (although early reports are saying she’s planning to stand by him, after a revision of the prenup). Instead, I say that she should do whatever it is she has to do. If that is taking the tool of her husband’s trade to smash the window of his Cadillac Escalade, so be it.I think we should stand by Elin…. And if she needs a friend to go at the rest of the windows, pass the golf clubs, Elin. I’ve got your back.

Did Ms. Ashley intend the phrase “taking the tool” to be a metaphor? If so, she’s a naughty girl and deserves to be spanked.

(Remember how feminists defended Lorena Bobbit  when she sliced off her hubby’s member in retaliation for his infidelity?)

Pulitzer Prize winning Washington Post Columnist Eugene Robinson paraphrased his wife’s reaction to Woods’ infidelity:

Erin should have used a driver instead of a wedge, better club-head speed.

Eugene is one of those male feminists we often hear about but rarely encounter in real life. He agrees with his wife, but in the same breath doesn’t think Tiger will lose any endorsement revenue or popular support because of the cheating accusations.

And Real Clear Politics has more (emphasis added):

The Daily Beast website ran a piece by culture correspondent Rebecca Dana under the title “The Year of Women Fighting Back,” asserting that if Elin Nordegren did attack her cheating husband with a golf club, she belongs in the company of other scorned or betrayed women who have stood up to their no-good men.

On Slate.com and its soon-too-fold female-oriented offshoot, DoubleX, journalist Hannah Rosin does not go quite so far as to cheer an alleged perpetrator. However, she speculates that Woods may have lied about the incident to spare his wife the arrest she would have faced under gender-neutral domestic violence laws – God forbid that “the glamorous Elin would be led out of their mansion in handcuffs” – and then proceeds to decry the absurdity of the gender-neutral approach.

Rosin readily concedes that if the roles were reversed and the rumors were about Woods assaulting his wife, even over a possible infidelity, “we would be a lot less ambivalent and complacent” – and if his wife had tried to cover up for him, we would appalled. But, in her view, “all of these gender-dependent reactions make some instinctive sense.”

We hear you roar, Rebecca and Hannah.

The Bridges of Madison County Paradox

I’ll bet every one of these gals required multiple Kleenex when Meryl Streep returned to her cuckolded husband instead of running off with the outlaw Josey Wales in the movie The Bridges of Madison County.

The girl I was dating at the time said something to the effect that it was sad that Streep’s character had been “forced” to sacrifice so much for her family and that she deserved a little happiness. That happiness, of course, turned out to be a little somethin’, somethin’ on the side while hubby and the beloved kiddies were away.

If Bridges were about a wife and children who left the house for a weekend and a husband who had jumped in the sack with the first woman who knocked on the door, feminists would have charged the movie theaters armed with pitching wedges.

For now on when feminists talk about the horrors of marital infidelity I will assume they mean this: When a man cheats, it’s pig-lust and he deserves to be castrated for it. When a woman cheats, it’s well-deserved payment for leading a life of sacrifice and she should be applauded for it.
