This was an interesting reminder of what of kind of a sexist world we live in. Last Thursday, the radio station 104.7 KISS FM, broadcasting out of Phoenix, was annoucing a night out for "naughty moms" at a local bar and restaurant. They wanted female listeners to call in and tell them why or how they are "naughty moms". The listeners who called in would then get a pass to the "naughty moms" party or drink tickets or whatever!
Quite a few ladies called in to say how or why they were naughty moms: one was sleeping with her husband's best friend; another was having simultaneous affairs with her husband's friend and her husband's cousin; yet another slept (separately, at different times) with her husband's brother and her husband on his birthday, conceived a child and now did not know if the father of the child was her husband or his brother. She said that even a DNA test could not tell who the father is because the two guys in question are brothers! Apparently, for these ladies, being a "naughty mom" meant cheating on the dad. And the way they called in to talk about their cheating episodes... it was almost as if they were proud of it!
But the interesting part of this whole exercize is that, the radio station was throwing a party for these moms, because they cheated. These ladies were appreciated because they cheated. It was a celebration of cheating women! And later in the evening, when the party was on, the RJ's urged listeners to drop in at the party because things were "getting wild". So, not only do these cheating women have a party thrown for them, but they even have a radio station sending more meat to their party so that they can cheat some more!
Amazing! I mean, can you imagine something like this being done for cheating guys? A party for "player dads", perhaps? How many ladies would attend that party? How many people would even find the idea of such a party acceptable? Something like that would never happen.
Damn! And women think they don't have it good, and guys get to enjoy everything in the sexist world!

I don't know.. I kind of think cheating men throw themselves a party..they don't need others to do it.
ReplyDeleteevery night at the bar they spend soliciting women is a night of 'party', and just as there are lecherous/cheating men, there are women too, so yeah, some women WOULD attend such parties, me thinks.
Hey..read both your posts regards this. The concept of harassment is varied by region. The aspect of women having a party or men having a party is not acceptable in some places but in others it is kind of cool and hip. The only reason why women harassment gets in all the spot light is because they are more powerless compared to men. As said, I don't think there is anything related to power and sex urge in almost all cases unless it is a well planned revenge case.
ReplyDeleteI think I disagree with you on this. Psychologists have concluded hat rape and sexual harrasment is more about power than anything else.
