"Whore" is thrown around too much these days, sometimes by me. I will modify the blog, because my integrity is more important than the integrity of the entry. <br /><br />Also, of course Tiger is a whore, and a sad excuse for a husband. <br /><br />These women have questionable morals, and sleep with Tiger because he's famous, or to advance their careers...I will concede that these women are not necessarily whores, but they definitely are not nanny material!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889154201662500046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777464.post-48257028257792064842010-03-22T10:00:35.094-04:002010-03-22T10:00:35.094-04:00a) Being a porn star (or being a guest on the Howa...a) Being a porn star (or being a guest on the Howard Stern show) is different from being a whore, and you know that. I'm all about precision in language. Also, at least one of them was a cocktail waitress, which is definitely different from being a whore.<br /><br />b) I am far from arguing that they are of unquestionable virtue. But "whore" (and other terms like it which are bandied about pretty much for the purpose of punishing women for having sex) is a pretty loaded word.<br /><br />c) Wanting your 15 minutes in the spotlight, particularly for this, does say something about a person, (and where we are culturally, I'd argue). But being a woman who has had sex and then told a bunch of people about it doesn't make you a whore. It might, in this case, make you a media whore; the addition of that modifier makes a huge difference here.<br /><br />c) Then you need to come up with a term that is 15x as offensive as "whore" for Tiger.

While I haven't really followed the story, I know that they weren't all prostitutes. And even if they were, that would be a better term to use. It's pejorative, demeaning to the women, and serves to sensationalize the story, which is the exact thing you're arguing against.<br /><br />Also, I think "we", as a culture, are also a lot more concerned with what the guy at the country club and the local garbageman are up to in their private lives than we used to be. But that's a different story.SKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04174394383903225314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777464.post-12665066821075641002010-02-19T21:11:47.094-05:002010-02-19T21:11:47.094-05:00You captured the apathy that a lot of us are feeli...You captured the apathy that a lot of us are feeling in the wake of such great excitement and high hopes.

Anyway, I'm proud to be half of the impetus behind your getting back into bloggin', and am not at all mad about you borrowing my footnote technique. Of course, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and that flattery will get you nowhere, so if you put the two together it's quite obvious that you'll get flattitation.
