William Taylor, from a Washington, D.C. suburb, cheated on his wife. How do I know that? Because he held a sign near Tyson's Corner Mall that read: "I cheated and this is my punishment." He stayed out on the corner for most of the morning commute, creating quite a commotion. He and his wife brokered the deal. He figured he had to do what she asked in order to make things right.When Fox TV interviewed women, they all loved the idea. The print version of the story appeared on

and it was followed by a series of reader comments. Some of the responses suggested that castration was the best punishment for infidelity. One (obviously male) writer pointed out that women seem to enjoy publicly humiliating men, but would not tolerate the reverse for exactly the same situation.That is true. Feminism's perspective is that no matter what a woman does, it is the man's fault, and whatever a man does is the man's fault. Hypothetical example: a man and woman rob a bank. He's a bad guy, and she is duped, clouded by love, or dominated by his will. She's a sad victim, instead of a co-conspirator. Another example: a married man has an affair which lasts two weeks. He comes guilt-ridden to his wife and confesses. He tells her he's been so emotionally and sexually ignored by her for ten years, that he just absolutely needed some feminine attention and affection. She ignores everything that comes after the confession and spends her time punishing him and whining to all who will listen.Women rarely take responsibility for any negative relationship issues, and that's largely because of the feminist brainwashing which has made them see all men as Darth Vader. Here's another point: in the development of our country, being humiliated in the public square was a standard form of punishment -- remember "stocks" and "pillories" from American history class? There is something positive to be said about this concept of punishment - for men or women. When we lived in small communities, the power of
shame
was potent, and probably dissuaded many from inappropriate behavior of all sorts. The thought of being embarrassed in public is horrendous to most people, since our reputations are everything in interpersonal relationships.I bet that a lot of spouses, seeing this fellow out there, will remember him when they consider straying. Consider it a kind of prophylactic for infidelity.
