soapbox

so we were taking a lunch break from housework, flipping through the channels to find something to watch and there is seriously some crappy tv on.  we watched a show called "basketball wives" on vh1 for a few minutes, and the wives are just so catty and trying to create crazy drama!  they were talking about the tiger woods scandal, saying that they find it hard to believe that there is any professional athlete who remains faithful to his wife (these are nba wives saying this - yikes!).  anyway, it reminded me of one of my latest soapbox thoughts: can we please stop making women famous for having sex with married celebrity men (john edwards and tiger woods' mistresses, i mean you)?  i'm sure there are plenty of famous men who are out there propositioning women with no provocation, but sadly i'm also quite sure that there are women who see a guy like tiger woods come into a bar, think, "hmm, he's married ... but he's also famous and if i get with him i could totally sell my story someday and be famous too!" and go for it.  (maybe tiger woods is a bad example here ...)  it is ridiculous, and makes me sad for the state of marriage in our culture.
