"Who Is to Blame When a Man Cheats? According to a Revenge Website, Only the Woman He Cheats With."

Came across this piece from Amanda Marcotte today at Slate. Here's a brief excerpt:

Look, I'm not going to defend a woman who makes the crappy choice of sleeping with a married man, but this retrograde belief that men can't control themselves in the face of a woman who tempts them makes it clear the work of feminism is far from done.

This is the same Amanda Marcotte who likes the talk about victim-blaming. It seems to me, though, that the argument that Marcotte's making in the Slate article above is the exact same one that she opposes when speaking of cases wherein two drunk individuals wind up having sex. The conclusion that seems worth drawing here is not that its clear that the work of feminism is far from being done but rather that Amanda Marcotte is far from consistent.

(In the case of the specific situation above, it seems to me that there's at least two reasons why its the women's names that would be getting posted on this website rather than the man's. First, it tends to allow the woman making the post a greater degree of anonymity. Secondly, if the posting woman, as in one case in the article, decides to continue the relationship with the man in question, posting his vulnerabilities might destabilize the future of their relationship and make it open to others who might want to get involved with him).
