Who Deserves A Flog Today?

The Flogging Whip is fired-up and ready to have at it with the constant negative "I told you so" focus on personalities such as Demi Moore who choose to marry and/or date and/or co-habit with men considerably younger than them/they/her/they are/yadda-yadda/themselves. Talk about double standards! I don't need to tell you how many men marry/date younger women, do I? Nor do I feel that I need to remind everyone how men with younger women are only bashed in the media when the woman is considerably younger in what may be considered an almost pedophilia way. But it never fails that both women and men - particularly women, it seems - love to make disparaging remarks toward other women who prefer younger men as their companions. So what if JLo likes her men young and dancing? So what if Madonna wants to hang her many hats on the nubile body parts of guys who don't mind following a Diva around the world for fun and pleasure? The insulting remarks being tossed at Demi Moore for her current physical and apparent woes over the ending of her marriage to Ashton Kutcher are antiquated and completely judgmental. If Demi likes 'em young, then so be it. If she is ailing because it didn't work out it doesn't mean she is living in an Arrested Development mind-set. To me it means she knows what she likes. And at one time she liked the younger Ashton. At one time she also cared-for and married an "age appropriate" Bruce Willis - and that didn't work out, either. Many marriages and relationships of all age comparisons have their troubles. I am tired of the Double Standard, the endless whisperings when women take control of their lives and choose who or what makes them happy. As with any marriage or relationship, when it ends, someone is hurt. Just because Demi is now in treatment for a variety of reasons does not give a free pass to call her "immature" and "she should have known better" in endless interwebs chatter. Are we still living in the 50's? 


Rant over.
