Oh Tiger!

It is my task this week to find males who take on female traits and, more or less, get slapped for it. This is a task which I shall, nay must, take up to expose the misogyny of this cruel world! So lets get to it boys and girls.

Firstly, I want to give an example of a man being to total man and getting away Scot-free. Enter Tony Blair, the former PM of the UK who lied to the world and started an illegal war. So war, that's really mannish; also, lying is top-notch man behavior, not to mention being the leader of the British Empire (we still have the Falklands). And when he was put on the stand to defend why he claimed Iraq had WMDs, he dodged the questions, blamed everyone else with a pulse and denied the whole lot of charges. He stuck to his guns, didn't back down, and sauntered out of there feeling groovy.


Now we come to Tiger. The ultimate "manly man," no? I mean come on, he was a pro-golfer earning millions upon millions and he had all the women he wanted (or could pay for). Okay so he got caught and a cataclysm was unleashed! What would Tony (the man) do? Deny it all.
"Wait, a prostitute? No way, all lies, I'm suing for libel."
So instead we have Tiger apologizing to the mothers, daughters and sons of America, taking full responsibility and showing his sensitive side. How did the media react? It was a slaughter. It made Verdun (WW1 battle) look like a relaxing day on the back nine. He took the "feminine" route by showing his emotions, getting a bit teary-eyed and claiming "look I'm sorry, I messed up." No Tiger, when will you learn. In this world you fight fire with fire. When you sell yourself as the ultimate man and then you go on TV and show your sensitive side, even though you of course have one, do you think the media and everyone else will buy your story? Gatorade quickly dropped Tiger as a sponsor after the apology. Now why is this? They could have done it long ago when the mayhem was unleashed. No, they waited to see what Tiger would do. He apologized and they slapped him. He was mocked even more! It seems like he should have followed Tony Blair's example. What a weird world this is!

So what should he do to make up for it. Well he should cancel his Oprah appearance if he planned one. Basically, he should act in a masculine fashion by forgetting the drama and getting back to the only thing he does well, golf.
