Why are we so obsessed with making women pay for the poor choices in partners? MemandMs
have also been called to comment on things they did not do. When Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars earlier this year, people couldn't understand why Jada didn't speak out, until she eventually addressed the incident on her Facebook Watch talk show,, saying: “My deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have the opportunity to heal, talk this out, and reconcile.” And, well, the actions of Melania's husband for which she was hounded need no explanation.
Whether still together or broken up, women are often the collateral damage when prominent men in their lives do or say outrageous things. Even when the women themselves are direct victims of the hurtful act, they’re still expected to put a brave face on for the media and in some cases, to absolve the men of guilt.
Yes, we should expect adults to surround themselves with people whose values reflect their own. But we must also understand that nobody is responsible for the words or actions of another. In a world that holds women tothan men, women who date men face more of a challenge in finding a partner that is equally yoked, morally speaking.
We need to progress past hounding women like Kim Kardashian for the mistakes of the men they associate with, for the sake of us all. Having these expectations of women not only leads to disingenuous statements and apologies but it also shifts accountability and attention away from the men who are actually at fault.
