Hi An opinion - In general and historically I think that women are aware of the greater expectation that they will put up with sexual infidelity more readily than men will...and there is probably some resentment of that double standard. Just a guess based on casual observation, not a scientific conclusion. I think that as women are less economically dependent on men (as a group or on average) than they were 50 years ago, to whatever degree it might have been true that women are more likely to put up with it than men are, it is less true now. Many women can and do walk when this happens. Since Silda Spitzer has a lot of professional skill and experience it may be that women who can identify with her are frustrated that she has not yet left (not that I would be at all shocked if she does in the near future). Or maybe they are concerned that she is doing what many perceived Hillary C. to have done - staying with a philandering husband in order to gain political ground. Trading off marital satisfaction for political gain...ignoring the possibility that fidelity might not be that important to her for whatever hidden (none of our business) reason she might have.
