Upon first inspection of the pictures of Tiger Woods’ purported after-hours love interests, I found myself thinking, “They all look like [Eliot Spitzer hooker] Ashley Dupre.” Maybe it was the long, overprocessed brown hair, strangely arched eyebrows, hard and tough faces, and orange-hued skin. There was something that made them look like Real Housewives of New Jersey castoffs whose surgical requests to look like Angelina Jolie went horribly wrong…
Which raises interesting questions about the infidelity wrought by these men. Not that cheating with a beautiful and intelligent woman justifies the act, but it makes one wonder why so few of them do (Governor Mark Sanford’s choice of a somewhat age-appropriate, apparently educated and sophisticated professional he called his “soulmate” was almost unheard of). Would today’s screaming headlines on Tiger Woods be different in tone if the Stanford-educated Woods had been caught having an affair with a Harvard neurologist? Most certainly.
The fact is, powerful men like Woods and Spitzer create a script for their lives: “perfect” careers, wives, and families. Would Woods be worth nearly $1 billion today if he had been dogging around as openly as Dennis Rodman? Likely, no. One must wonder how the super-managed male super-celebrities really view their wives and women. In their minds, could it be that “perfect” wives are meant to be unsullied by sexual thoughts and feelings unrelated to procreation?
