Also, I’m not of European descent, but I have many friends who will happily call themselves ‘wogs’, so I use that phrase when we’re joking as well, but would never use the phrase before the person I was talking with if I didn’t know how they viewed it, since it still does hold a bit of sting, especially in the older generation.

I also stand by my point about questioning the motivations behind writing the blog post, especially when the author is someone in the public eye who will obviously attract many readers. Both this one and the “I cheated” article feel geared towards generating sympathy from the readers.

I suppose what irritates me about this piece is that it doesn’t matter if Brendan is being cheated on or the ‘honest’ cheater, in both instances he presents himself as a victim. There are always two sides to any story and I’d love to read an article by his partner about his version of events.

Not a bit reductionist? Bon, ok.
We will have to agree to disagree!
