I still don't see anyone offering actual evidence that infidelity is on the rise. Ok someone quoted the Time article, but as I said before, who was taking statistics on such a thing in the past in order to make this comparison? People did it in the past but it was hushed. What about the Kinsey reports? I believe they pointed to a much different picture than one of total fidelity everywhere by everyone.
Also, what about presidents and politicians? They used to ALL have affairs and whores, but no one talked about it and truly, the American people didn't want to know. They were literally "allowed" this infidelity at no cost to themselves, because they felt (and other agreed they were) entitled. Reporters used to know the politicians were up to this stuff, but there was always a gentleman's agreement not to report any of it.
Then there are these days, it is no longer unsavory to report things like this. In fact, it makes great dramatic head line news so it is sniffed out at every turn. More and more, they are falling like flies as these politicians get caught in the act and are then shamed out of office.
The same men, 40 years ago, would have been protected by the journalists!
So...I still don't see anyone offering evidence that its actually on the rise. I think it is just out in the open more.
