So I read celebrity news. And while I don't consider Jon and Kate a celebrity couple, they are on tv, so they make it on the entertainment new sites. I find it very interesting that Jon has been given flak for going out with women who are not his wife. And while he may be having an affair, he may not be. But that leads me to my next thought, have I been out with guy friends? Yes, some of them have been BDR's friends first, some I have worked with. But not for once has BDR worried about me or accused me of being unfaithful. What makes my situation different than Jon's? Why is he not trusted? Why am I trusted? Not just that, but why is being accused when there are plenty of real celebrities that have gone out with friends of the opposite sex and not been accused
And what if you are gay? Does that mean you can only hang out with people of the opposite sex?
See, these social expectation are flawed. And it seems as though it says more about individual relationships than relationships in general.
Dude, I'm tired, so if it doesn't make sense, sorry.
What makes you different is that you aren't earning your living by selling out and putting your family in the public eye, thus inviting public critique of your behavior. Kate may not care but some reporter decided that "Jon has an affair" would make a terrific story and they ran with it and so did everyone else. There are also other issues with the marriage, I'm sure. Personally, I get a kick out of telling people that RF is going on a date with Loosey to see their reactions. I know it's not a REAL date but it makes me laugh so I keep telling people that :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I need to point out that I'm not and never have been a Jon and Kate fan. I couldn't care less about them or their lives or if he is cheating or they are getting a divorce. I do feel bad for the kids but other than that, I kind of wish they would get it over with so I don't have to hear about them every day. I want gossip about REAL celebs, thank you very much LOL
I forgot to mention that I have never watched the show.
ReplyDeleteAfter talking to BDR last night, I told him I would make a post. HE says that men are different than women. I guess I don't understand since I don't have a penis.
