Regarding the March 15 Style story about Eliot Spitzer's infidelity ["In One Man's Fall, Bruises for All"]:

Was the accompanying cartoon of a woman slugging a man supposed to be funny? How about the quotes by women in the story predicting what they would do if a spouse were unfaithful: "You would be on the curb so fast" and "A certain body part of his would be missing"?

It appears that The Post thinks it's okay and even humorous for women to threaten violence against adulterous men. Would you take the same cavalier attitude if men were violently threatening women who strayed?
