- /////// Do not BLAME the MAN. Were His needs MET ?//////////////////////
I think we can all agree - that when one person CHEATS, there is a reason behind it. Some one is not meeting their marital obligations.
Men too have a right to have their needs met. Look around the freeways, men early in the AM, do they look happy , fullfilled, loved ? No.
This man decided enough was enough.
Similarly, on the TV Jon took off, but here we could see, or get an idea that she was a total Biotch, and there is understanding. Look, all I am saying, as a Professor of Woman's Study, that the BLAME theory is too superficial, often leads one to the victim and what we therefore need is DIALOGUE and UNDERSTANDING, not blaming and condemning.
Enough is enough. - Reply to this comment

Typical Republican nonsense. They are the first ones to pound the bible, scream about the evil gays and wave the family value flags. Yet time and time again they get caught with their pants down. As soon as they get caught they start running to God and Jesus for salvation.

The Democrats are so quick to judge others, yet here is their own Hall of Shame:

Just what kind of drugs are you on? Of course women are punished in the bible, even when they did nothing wrong except exist:
1. Women are blamed not only for what they thought of or do but for what men do--(text book scapegoat/copout)
2. Lot: wife was turned to salt--he tried to throw his daughters to a crowd to be raped--because he wanted to save some angels who the men wanted to boink in Sodom.
3. Bathsheba--lost her hubby, was forced to marry David..then her kids by David ended up dead--from...
A. One of them (Ammon) raped his own sister and she told their older brother..who then killed Ammon
B. Then Ammon's friends and servants killed the older brother
C. Then the girl was left (but was sullied and despite the fact it was raped--was considered--no good) I believe she committed suicide
So no kids after all that lying and adultery and killing on David's part.
David, incidentally is who Sanford likens himself to. LOL
Hagar--forced to sleep with Abraham by Sarah to bear him a son--but when she finds out she can have kids herself --Sarah kicks Hagar and the child into the desert--after all--nothing like forcing a slave to screwwww your hubby then leaving her with no hubby, a son forced on her and a nice hot desert to roam..........
You might want to actually READ the bible instead of requoting what you saw watching "Joseph, and the Technicolor dreamcoat"
==========================
Excellent questions. Perhaps you could read the Bible some more yourself.
Please provide examples of 1. and 2. that resulted in a woman being punished by God. As for 2., remember that Lot's daughters later seduced him while he was drunk. Sounds like they didn't hold a grudge. And Lot's wife turning to a pillar of salt was one of the FEW times a woman was punished by God. But that was during the destruction of Soddom and Gomorrah, a pretty major event.
3. is an example of a woman suffering a shared punishment. King David broke the majority of the ten commandments when he seduced her and murdered her husband. The child that died was the one that resulted from their adultery.
David and Bathsheba later had another son, named SOLOMON, the wise king.
And the child of Hagar and Abraham was Ishmael, the ORIGIN OF ISLAM. The Jews, Christians, and Muslims ALL believe that this ill-conceived and cast away child became the origin of all Arab peoples.
Yes, the Bible makes for intersting reading indeed. - Reply to this comment

I am a busy Professor of Women's study. My major center of work however has drifted toward the elimination of traditional "blame" theory.
-----------------
That's exactly what the Bible teaches over and over.
From the beginning God told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.
What is "knowledge of good and evil?" JUDGING! Deciding you KNOW who or what is GOOD or EVIL. Judging, condemning, blaming. God said if we do these things we will surely die.
Look how many in the world have died because somebody decided they were evil, and they started a war.
Look how much misery we suffer every day from people judging and condemning each other - you see it here on these boards every day.
Jesus told us "Judge not." He said "Do not point out the speck in someone's eye while you have a log in your own eye."
Marriages have ended because of women incessantlly judging and blaming their husbands.
Yes, you should study the Bible to get more ideas on this "stop blaming" idea.
I'm totally for it. - Reply to this comment
