      Why are y’all giving this drunk driving cheater the benefit of doubt?

        You’re right. In fact, I suspect Jaimee wanting to watch “desperate housewives” was her asking to watch secret footage Woods recorded of his wife Elin Nordegren whenever she was distressed. Utterly depraved.


        Edit: Joking aside, “the benefit of the doubt” implies there’s doubt, but you’re manufacturing the doubt. People in a normal, healthy headspace do not think this way about text messages.

            Are you seriously just going to dodge these accusations of Woods recording his distraught wife for his mistress’ amusement? Is there something you’re not telling us about your own cruel voyeurism?

              What? I’m not the one defending the guy here. I mused that giving a partner the silent treatment until they say the “correct” thing is unhealthy and you jumped down my throat to defend this cruel, drunk driving, cheating asshole.

                No one is defending Tiger. They’re telling you your argument is flawed. Just because someone is a shitty person doesn’t give you blanket license to make every kind of strawman about them.

                That’s terrible logic, and resorting to “Oh, so you’re defending him?!!” any time someone disagrees with you is no more valid.

                For what it’s worth, when I read into these texts I come away with them both being pretty much shitty.

                  That was my read as well.

                  I guess people are allowing their annoyance at me to justify defending shitty people like Tiger fucking Woods.

                  But Lemmy doesn’t have a sexism problem lol

                    So we can make up anything we want about Tiger Woods, and no one can disagree because then they would be defending a cheater?

                    The people of Lemmy would like to believe they have an open mind but when you get down to it, they’re as open minded and progressive as any group of people online. You will get dog-piled here for “wrong-think” just as vehemently as you would on mainstream social media.
