And, the men? NOT held accountable?
Here's a thought.....obey the vows you took before God. How 'bout that?
They should both be held accountable. Rabbi Boteach's point is a single woman who takes a husband as a lover isn't exactly an innocent party. Its not fashionable to point this out in an age where non-judgmentalism on matters sexual is the order of the day.
Exactly. The woman (in this case, Monica) did NOT swear an oath before God and witnesses, as the man (BJ Bill) did. The onus is entirely on HIM to keep his word, to keep his vows.
Monica is no saint, and certainly doesn't deserve to be given celebrity status, or even a modicum of respect because of her willingness to be party to an adulterous affair. Nevertheless, when you're talking about a single person and a married person having an affair together, it is the MARRIED person (whether it's a man or a woman) who is entirely responsible for saying "no." I have always been disgusted and amused by women who, when they find out that their husband has been cheating on them, go after the other woman, and blame her for "stealing" her husband. They don't seem to realize (or perhaps are incapable of understanding) that their husband could only be "stolen" if he CHOSE to let it happen.
Monica doesn't owe any apology to Hillary, Bill does.
