Belinda Stronach Speaks Out on Alleged Domi Affair
Sep, 27 2006 - 3:50 AM
TORONTO - Liberal M.P. Belinda Stronach suggests media reports about her personal life point to a sexist double standard. She isn’t commenting specifically on the nature of the allegations, but says she thinks they wouldn’t be such a big deal if she were male. Stronach says that’s very ``unfortunate for other women in this country that want to seek political office and want to make a contribution.’
Allegations of an affair between Tie Domi and Stronach were in divorce papers filed by Domi’s estranged wife.
Double standard? No, baby, you’re being accused just like Bill Clinton was accused, just like every other person who cheats on a spouse or cheats with a married person is accused. If you can’t take the heat, perhaps you shouldn’t STEAL PEOPLE’S SPOUSES. It’s just that damned simple. By the way, if it makes you feel any better, Tie looks just as badly as you do, if not worse. Oh, and if you want to make a contribution as a politician, how about you keep your pants zipped up? That’s a totally excellent start. Or, hey, you could go back to that nice Peter MacKay guy, he’s SINGLE. Are we clear now? You have lots of choices, but MARRIED MEN aren’t part of that choice, unless you enjoy the bad publicity.
Okay, I think I’m done now. I just couldn’t let that stupid “double standard” statement stand. My gawd, what nerve, to complain that slutty men get treated so much better in the press. So, if you were a dude, it would be okay that you slept with someone else’s spouse? Geeez. There’s no way Belinda Stronach will ever be the Prime Minister with such a victim complex. What a weak argument. “Well, cheating men have it so much easier in society.”

When people are cheating and one is married and the other isn’t, the one who is married should have heavier blame. Because that’s the one who made the promise to the other person. The single person who has an affair with a married person is also making a very unethical or immoral choice. But I hate how women (especially) so often seem to blame the other woman more than their own cheating husband.

I believe there are extenuating circumstances here, so while I blame Tie slightly more, I blame Belinda a whole lot more than some puck bunny trying to pick Tie up at a hotel after a game. For instance, someone like Tia Carrere. In that one, Tie gets 100% of the blame.

Regardless of how you two decide to distribute blame for the affair, Belinda Stronach gets an extra big ol’ black mark by her name because Leanne was not a stranger to her. B was nice to L’s face, friendly with her, pretended to be her friend, but slept with her husband. Betrayal Of A Friend is pretty high up on the list of shitty things to do in Helly’s Book of Morals & Ethics.
P.S. Her initials are BS. She’s a politician. That CAN’T be coincidence.

Helly’s Book of Morals & Ethics is the best guidline I know. Dammit Tie, I REALLY thought you were better than that. Married people should NOT have sex with people they’re not married to, and single people should not have sex with married folk.
‘puck bunny’...love that!

"Puck bunny” ranks right up there with my dad’s disparaging name for racing groupies: pit-puppies.
I love my dad.
