So you get to pick and choose the women whose opinions matter here...

No.  I would ask the opinion of all the women on this site, but I don't think there are many.

I don't make him watch a Sarah Silverman video  detailing just how silly that is.

I know this is OT, but I would totally watch that.😃

Generally better at multi-tasking. Generally more attentive and task focused. 

 

These are opposites. Being good at multi tasking means not being really good at one thing, but reasonable at all things. So they can’t necessarily be more attentive and multitask at the same time.

I mean I have to win some points on my wife, right? 😂

I thought what Tiger did was funny, that is my opinion.

I got to have a nice discussion with my wife about what Tiger did. We actually had a long conversation, but here are the highlights. 

Her comment was "You guys are all a bunch of idiots anyway. We have very low expectations for your gender." 

I had to stop and think. "... So, does that mean you find it offensive or not offensive?" 

"I'm sure Tiger wouldn't find it so funny if he had to bleed for 4 or 5 days each month. ... Cuz, let me tell you... It's sucks." 

"So, offensive or not offensive?" 

"We've all heard you guys say things like "Hit it with your purse." or "Does your husband play golf too?""

"Honey, does that mean you find it offensive or not offensive?" 

"I'd go with child-ish and sophomoric. ... Not really offensive." 

So, according to my wife, Tiger is child-ish and sophomoric. 🤷‍♂️

I love this line! My wife had a similar reaction. But she just let it go afterwards.

Mine tried to let it go. But I kept pushing her. "Honey, are you offended or not offended? I need to know."

I explained what happened  to my girlfriend and she said,

‘So Tiger was saying that this JT guy hits like a girl.?’ 
 Yes.

’I get it….but JT can’t be that bad.’

It’s a joke.

’Yeah….but JT probably hits it really far right?’

Lol. Yeah but do you think it’s offensive?

’To JT?’

No, to women.

’You’re kidding right?’

Nevermind.

Now my gf knows nothing about golf (sports) and she’s Indian and isn’t familiar with some of American slang/culture, but still…..yeah.

Your daughter's opinion is her opinion. I have no issue with that. What Tiger did is fundamentally sexist, misogynistic and frat house behavior. It's another blemish on his off- course life.  Speaking of daughters, I wonder what Sam thought of it?

I really love it when someone takes offense at something on behalf of someone else.  This is like when the Redskins had to change their team name despite most Native Americans being fine with the name but white liberals took offense.

I was a little meh about his joke, but I find the whining and complaining about it is freaking hilarious.

I find this kind of generalized insult to men far more offensive than Tiger's joke.

Now.  Now.  Let's not be insulting to men.

You haven't been married long enough to completely understand this.  No, you don't ever have to win, she is always right.

The best advice I ever got when I got married was: "You now have to make a choice. Do you want to be happy, or do you want to be right?" 

I choose happy

The bold is a somewhat important word there.

No.  If you've gotten to the point where someone has to be right and someone has to be wrong you've turned a marriage into a power struggle, and you've both already lost.  IMO.

Not really.  Unless you adhere to the modern notion of the heckler's veto.
