That indeed would be a funny title if it was found on newspapers. Those of you the keep up with your news update may have undoubtedly heard Shane Warne has so called “cheated” on his wife (Simone Callahan) again. Now, honestly I really don’t give a crap whether or not Shane Warne has cheated on his wife. News article these days has basically stoop to a new low, I mean when did news articles started to cover bitchy articles about whom cheated on whom? What’s worse the article was broadcast during the news as if its important and the nation should care about it. I mean how about giving us an update on how the war in Iraq is going? Or even give us an update on the search for Madeline hell they can even do an update on the search for the Chinese dude that killed his wife and stuffed her in the boot then took their daughter to Melbourne left her there and then flew to LA. News about how Shane Warne cheated (or found new love and has escape from the clutches of his wife) should be left in the womens magazine and stay there.

However, this blog is not about how depressing our news is these days. What really shits me is this article by Anita Quigley that was posted on news.com.au two days later. The title of the article was Why do married men stray? Something is wrong with the title to start of with… married men followed by stray. I mean come on now, when would society cease its beating on men? As a member of the male species I do admit that most of the time when we cheat is lust and after million years of evolution we men have yet to gain the skill to think think with our head-head when being seduced. However, in todays society when men do cheat the fact is we do it for the same reason as women;

  • Lack of attention
  • Lack of satisfaction
  • The thrill and excitement

The fact that I know these reasons is not because I’ve cheated on my girlfriend but I have witness and know people who is seeing someone else behind their loved ones. I don’t support it but at the same time I don’t judge them as well because there are issues within their relationship that only they know about and it is not up to me to point fingers and criticise their actions.

I mean men aren’t the only people that cheat on their loved ones; the fact is women do it as well. Women aren’t exactly angels. We have to keep in mind women cheats as well, on 5th of January, 2000. The BBC published an article that 64% of women has cheated on their loved ones. Women in todays society enjoy very much the same freedom and privileges as men do, yet when a man finds new love with another woman he is branded as cheater, at the same time if a woman cheats on her loved one she is hailed as a hero, breaking away from the clutches of her evil boyfriend, fiance or husband. It seems whenever women cheats, their reason is always legitimate and acceptable, yet when men cheats their reason always render back to the point of lust.

Let use Shane Warnes incident as an example. How do we know that the reason why Shane Warne cheated on Simone Callahan was not Simones fault? May be Shane Warne was not getting enough attention from Simone, may be he doesn’t feel love by Simone or may be he just simply not satisfy by Simone. So far the only criticism for Simone Callahan is the fact that she was dumb enough for giving him another chance. Yet we don’t know that, we don’t know if it is Simone’s fault, or is Shane Warne just being an ass and was dumb enough to send text message intended for another woman to his missus phone.

On the point of political incorrectness, lets not forget the Violence Against Women – Australia says No campaign where the government spends millions of dollars showing advertisements of (female) victims and (male) offenders of; rape, domestic violence and assault and then like all good campaign they sent out booklets to individual homes for more information. My questions is then does that mean Violence Against Men – Australia says Yes? The fact is the same shit also happens to men as well, men are victims as well. I do have to admit though, it would be funny if they start broadcasting advertisements where men are saying things like “Well she showed me her tits and force me to perform cunnilingus on her, when I refused I was threatened to be terminated because of insubordination“. The fact is violence against anyone or anything Australia says NO.

The point I’m trying to make is the fact that there are groups and organisations that has spent decades fighting for equal rights for women in society and ironically the same left wing womens group turn around and are being biased in support of women who is committing the very same crimes no different if it was committed by a man. Equality is important and I’m a firm supporter of it, but is this really equality and justice? May be we should really sit down and re-evaluate our position and define equality and justice.

What’s even more sad is the fact that news are more like commercial commodities these days. Rather than reporting the truth and relevant news that effects society, they are more concerned about headlines, surely if my title was used as the headline no one would even bother to read it or give a shit about it. It is no wonder teenagers and young adults are more concerned about who is sleeping with who, who is breaking up with who, using people such as Paris Hilton, Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan as role models but thats another rant for another time.

In the end I would like to offer you a final word… This government is against same sex marriages, but any man can tell you that after getting married; the sex is always the same.
