nourishing obscurity

The issue with Joslyn James is not that she’s an opportunistic gold digger nor that she hired a key “victimhood” lawyer to defend her and then held a press conference to officially demand an apology from Woods for his mistreatment of her and his breach of promise.  The real issue is partly in the quote below:

Since when do women hire lawyers to represent them because a man said he loved her and lied?  Gloria Allred and Joslyn James are making a mockery out of the legal system by holding these absurd press conferences for the sole purpose of demanding an apology.

Er no, not the sole reason.  Keep your eye on the money. What of this?

What a disgrace!!! I have lost all respect for Gloria Allred. I thought that she was a true victim’s advocate, but not anymore.

Lost all respect? What respect? For crying out loud, she’s a feminist victimhood lawyer – whatever did you expect? That she had the interests of women at heart? Money is all it ever was – good settlements. As for the porn “star” [and we'll get back to this phenomenon later], why can she not feel feelings of betrayal at the hands of a man who lied to her? I’d say she feels quite betrayed, as does Uchitel and that’s how she fell into the hands of Allred so easily. Never mind that her profession is one of aiding and abetting betrayal – that doesn’t mean she still can’t feel it.

Which brings me back to monogamy or at the very least – one man/one woman which this blog has been arguing for ad nauseam.  So, out of this, we get many things:

1. What a slimeball Woods really is;

2. Yet another betrayal of those falsely lauded by a deluded section of society by someone as grubby as the next person [Allred];

3. Another marriage on the trashheap of people worldwide who’ve lost their moral bearings, that being a direct result of three decades of falling away from the code embedded in the traditional mindset which once knew moderation, limits and two or three absolute truths – the type of mindset which allowed a society to hang together and progress.

Now, in this piranhaic, parasitic, dog-eat-dog, nothing-means-anything society of ours where falling away and betrayal is held up for pity and where fidelity is laughed at or passed over, the central issue – betrayal – is always going to come up, it’s going to come up with increased frequency and vehemence, each incident more grotesque than the last and that, in itself throws up point 4;

4. Both men and women but particularly women, have this astounding mindset of forgiving the betrayer. Women are especially susceptible to this because they operate, at once, both more emotionally yet in a calculating fashion. Therefore we have the woman bashed or betrayed or whatever and what does she do when the police get there? Yep, she refuses to press charges.

Why? Why?

It’s because, on an emotional, animal level, that man moved her and it’s very hard to shake a woman’s fierce loyalty to someone she once gave her soul to, even when she herself has openly rejected him and doesn’t want a bar of him. If there was ever an argument for fidelity, this is it. Woods has over a dozen women feeling betrayed. Not coming in for a quick bang and see ya later, oh no. The women’s idea at the start was curiosity and kudos but after sexual relations and one or two other triggers, it was always going to mean more than that.

Woods, arch-cynic like so many men, needed only tell the prostitute she was special to him and hey presto – instant loyalty. It is so ludicrously easy with a woman who has reasons to want to be with you and if you have your “genuineness” and your spiel down pat, down she falls.

Why does a man [and these days, many a woman] do this?  What’s happened to self-esteem that it has to be measured by notches on the belt?  Sure – make friends with a dozen women but only give it to one woman, twelve different ways,  It’s more satisfying, gets a better result and is easier on the coffers in the end.

If your humble blogger were to accidentally meet Jamie Jungers and if she were to acquiesce in sleeping with him, he wouldn’t do it – who knows where she’s been or what she’s carrying?  What would Tiger Woods now be carrying to pass on to his dear Elin?

Seriously, society’s f—ed and apologies for my swearing.  Standards are slipping.

Another angle.
