The media circus surrounding
Tiger Woods affairs has continued to spiral as countless women come forward proclaiming that they too slept with the pro golfer. As the list grows, we have to question the audacity of so many women who chose to spit in the face of sisterhood and fornicate with a married man. Tiger Woods is a high-profile celebrity, who is known for his immaculate golf skills, uncompromising family values, and a squeaky clean image as a doting father and husband. The message was broadcast loud and clear: "Stop. This man is the rightful property of Elin Nordegren Woods." Yet scores of women chose to ignore the big red sign and move forward with long term affairs, short term trysts, and one night stands. This situation begs the questions: What happened to sisterhood? What happened to respecting the sanctity of marriage? What happened to respecting ourselves?According to infidelity expert Stephany Alexander of Woman Savers, 45-55% of married women and 50-70% of married men engage in extramarital sex during their relationship. That is more than half of the population cheating on their significant other. Now we know that it takes two to get tangled up in an affair, but isn't it time to step up and take responsibility for the countless families that have been damaged or destroyed because someone chose to play the other woman? Isn't it time to stop accepting that role, start respecting yourself and believe that you are a woman who deserves to be in a great relationship with a man who can commit to just you? You don't have control over the choices of a cheating man, but you do have control over your choices. Would you want another woman hitting on your man, or accepting his sexual advances? NO! So the next time you are approached by an unavailable man, whip out your values, wield your sisterhood like a sword and tell that straying man to keep on walking.
