Why Are Women Always The Homewreckers?
The other woman.
She's the slut, right?
The homewrecker?
What about the guy who is cheating on his wife with her? I mean, isn't that even worse? He's the one who has made the commitment to his woman. He's the one who is supposed to love her and never hurt her. But when he cheats on her, his wrongdoing is ignored? It is the other woman, she is the slut, she is the temptress.
The other woman didn't make any promises with the wife! She may not even know her! She may have no emotional connection that could be broken by hopping in bed with the man! She never tells this woman "I love you only!"
So why is Angelina Jolie looked down on as the homewrecker while Brad Pitt can go on being Mr. Sexy, Mr Right?

You're right. Hmm. I never thought of it that way. But I mean, technically, they'd both be homewreckers.
I blame both of them. I mostly blame the man though. Like you said, I was to get cheated on, I wouldn't be pissed at the girl (if she knew about me before cheating with my man). But I'd blame the man and kick his fucking ass. She didn't make a promise or commitment to me, he did. He cheated, lied and hurt me. Fuck fighting with her.
xo
Yeah, I'd wanna kick the guy's butt first and foremost.
i blame everyone equally.
Stereotypically, the women are always the 'homewreckers' because the men are expected to provide the home.
One woman is out of a home, among other things like love, support, stability, etc. while another woman gets it. The term 'homewrecker' doesn't only apply to women, but it's generally women that use it, and apply it to other women. If the guy is supposed to provide, then by technicality, he'll always have the 'home' to offer.
I don't necessarily agree with it completely, but then again..
It seems the older I get, the more focused I become on my ability to provide.
because our society is fucked up. and that is why people need to embrace feminism to change the ignorant views of what is considered the "norm."
I'd totally blame them both. Neither party is blameless.
@tiptoplove@xanga - I agree 10000% girl.
I mostly blame Brad Pitt in that whole shitmess they're in. He was an asshole to leave Jen. Now here she is in the best success of her life & he aint doing crap except globetrotting with Angelina. I wouldnt take him back, I dont care if he's one of the sexiest men alive. He lost my favor as a person when he did that mess. Then he LIED about it on top of that.
As for people in general, I dont think it's fair it's only women. I always hated the fact that in marriage vows, they always say "And what God brought together, let no man tear asunder" as if the woman would only cheat....
I think we all think this. Post is unnecessary.
@Simply_Cynical@xanga - Couldn't've said it better myself.
Good question though.
You know what? That's a pretty good question. Why does Brad Pitt get off easier than angelina? Surely she's the one who stole him away, but Brad has to figure out who he is in love with.
Who the fuck cares about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?
Well men dont get to go on as "Mr. Sexy" Normally they are written in my book as the scumbag. I dont think a woman is a homewrecker unless she wife or girlfriend.
Blech, sticky situations like this make me glad I'm not a celebrity so all my personal business isn't out in the open.
@ViciousGrin63@xanga - Agree.
I blame them both. Hell no, the guy is not in the clear. Besides, I don't particularly like either of them.
@MangoWOW@xanga - YES.
this topic has been discussed ad nauseum.
It's a double standard. Let us all thank our sexist culture.
If Angelina was in a relationship with another person and Brad was single, then he'd be the homewrecker. A homewrecker is not a man or a woman. It is the person who was single who snagged someone else's significant other. Doesn't make Brad a better person. There is a saying that all is fair in love and war. Absolutely not true, but people buy into it anyway, and often make the innocent person look like the loser while the unfaithful or unscrupulous get away with it.
i'd be pissed at the man, i mean really? you don't go around kissing and hugging the girl...its all on the boy.
Hey, if a girl is going to get laid out of the deal, it might as well be them, right?
Both parties having the affair are low down dirty db.
On AJ-->B/c she made it her business to break them up.
She's a slut and he's a dirtbag. They belong together.
Karma.
The partner is always the one to blame because they know their commitment and they make a choice to break it. The 3rd party is not to blame even if they come on to a partner because they don't make that choice for them.
My boyfriend and I have been hit on by other people more than once, often times when the other is right there haha. It's a choice you make as a human being. If you have a commitment to someone and you have any moral fiber you won't break it.
I especially don't think the 3rd party is to blame if they don't know about the other persons partner... that's not fair.
It takes two to tango! So both of them should really take the heat
Sometimes people forget to go after the guy, not the girl
