Question by Hold your horses: Why do women in America refuse to forgive Tiger Woods as if they’re the ones Tiger Woods cheated on?
“Women will never forgive Tiger Woods”, they say. As if it really matters to Tiger Woods anyway.
Disclaimer: I’m not saying cheating is okay, but I’m just shocked at American women’s collective reaction to this. Are they somehow thinking/feeling they’ve also been cheated on by Tiger Woods because his wife is female (obviously)? Did they somehow feel victimized by Tiger Woods because he cheated on his wife? What do these American women think their position is in Tiger’s life anyway?

Personally, I don’t care how Tiger Woods chooses to live. His wife is a free agent, she can forgive him, or she can divorce him. Up to her.

It’s funny…because Chris Brown can beat up a female and be not only forgiven, but embraced. Tiger however….that’s another story,.
It’s because he’s black. Seriously, would anyone care if a white golfer did this? No.
I’ve never understood why anyone gives a damn what happens in celebrities lives.
On the other hand, I was pretty disappointed in Morgan Freeman when I heard about his activities. I had a lot of respect for him. That said, celebrities are people, just like everyone else, and they f*ck up. I think Tiger Woods was put on a pedestal. He was more respected than most athletes because he was supposedly such a good guy, with an amazing record and a seemingly perfect life. Everyone looked up to him. It’s a big disappointment, and very shocking, not to mention disgusting that someone who was so looked up to by so many young men could shamelessly display such disrespect for his family and marriage in general.
It’s not my place to forgive him. He hasn’t done anything to me that would make me presume I had any business feeling aggrieved or judging him.
I think he behaved in a silly, stupid manner. people do that. (And note: I didn’t single out men.) I also think the media coverage is asinine. If I were to presume to judge anything, it would be that by consuming the coverage, we are perpetuating it and his kids are having to grow up with all the crap out there.
And for that circumstance, there’s plenty of blame to go around.
Personally, I do not care how Tiger Woods chooses to live his personal life. His wife has her own free will, where she can either forgive him or she can choose to divorce him. It matters not what anyone else thinks she should do what she feels she must. It is not my place or desire to judge him or forgive him, that is his cross that he must bear. =P
I’m American and I won’t read any of that trash. I don’t give a flying fck what Tiger Woods does nor did I ever. You’re just as bad as “American” women who you criticize for being so caught up in all that pointless bullsht
“What do these American (foreign) women think their position is in Tiger’s (American women’s) life anyway?”
No one here gives a sht what you think
What bothers the hell out of me is that his wife _assaulted_ him with a _weapon_ and caused him to crash his car, yet everyone on the planet seems to think she’s totally within her rights. If the gender roles were reversed, no one would give a rat’s a** how much cheating she’d done, he would be the villain.
This is obnoxious because it reinforces the notion that women are controlled by emotion and not accountable for their actions; women who commit violent crimes should be treated exactly the same as men who commit violent crimes.
As for the person above who said it has to do with Woods’ being black? Anyone with his record and skills, on top of his charisma, is going to be famous, regardless of his skin color (which isn’t all that black anyway). And America loves to watch its celebrities fall.
I see you are wone of those ignnrant foreigners who think all Americans are the same some way. 2GWS points.
I could care less who Tiger does, or anyone else for that matter. I’m not really interested in other people’s sex lives, and since I don’t care about marriage, I could care less who “cheats” or not. I”m a feminist, and we’re not quite as predictable as “all” American women, but I don’t think tons of American women really care what Tiger does either.
On the contrary, I’m pleased the way he’s trying to own up to his mistake. Lots of celebrities do things everyday and they never seem to correct their mistakes. Although I don’t condone cheating, there are plenty of people who wouldn’t even think about what they did was wrong.
Also he doesn’t need my forgiveness, I am not his wife. He didn’t cheat on me, deceive me about his marriage, nor did he drag my name through the mud: no harm done.
