"In Treatment": A drama series actually shows women's infidelity

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2008-02-15 07:32

I don't watch much TV, and only happened across this series at a friend's house. I don't even have cable. Anyway, an HBO series called "In Treatment" is not only really well-acted and -written, but the infidelity of women is shown without flinching. And better yet, you can watch it for free on HBO's web site. Well worth the time.

Ed. note: I can vouch for this endorsement. Great show, one of the few I'll watch myself.

I was at a friend's house and this show called "Cheaters" came on. On this show they bust infidelic spouses, male and female. On the episode I was watching, they busted a wife who was cheating on her husband.

Female infidelity is never treated as a negative thing. It's always justified by the husband/boyfriend being abusive or neglecting her.

The rule is this: If a female cheats on a male, it's because men are assholes. If a male cheats on a female, it's because men are assholes.

Yeah. It goes hand in hand with:

-If a guy dumps a girl, he's an asshole
-If a girl dumps a guy, it's cause he's an asshole

I don't know how the hell people's brains got wired that way. It's illogical, sexist, and infantile to think like that.
