    @ Allene Swienckowski

    Interesting comment about the Oprah show. I never watch it. Were the women who were cheating on their husbands and the women who were being cheated on the exact same group of women?

    As to the woman who hit her husband, he should leave her for hitting him and she should leave him for cheating. They don't sound like a love match to me. :-D

    Also, you said: " . . .force their men out of their homea and into affairs"

    How do they do this? I am trying to picture someone forcing someone to have an affair. You don't feel that men have their own moral agency?
