Female logic

From The Daily Mail:

The millionaire co-founder of MoneySupermarket.com who discovered the three boys he raised were not his own has offered a £5,000 reward to find their real father's identity and will drop hints in an upcoming book, it was revealed today...

After initial denials, his now ex-wife Kate admitted an on-off affair with a colleague during their 20-year marriage, but refused to name him and said they always used contraception.


We can summarise her logic thusly: "Even though you are certified infertile, they must be yours - I always used contraception when I was sleeping around."

Closer to home, my ex-wife once said: "He must be yours - he looks a lot like his brother."

Sickening, cruelly selfish. I've read of a woman doing something similar and then persuading her husband to have the snip, prior to his finding out about the paternity and divorcing him, presumably so he wouldn't complicate the finances by raising a new brood.

She stole £4million from him - surely she should go to prison?

LF, I am not sure what the legalities are of wives stealing from husbands and vice versa, however that does seem to be another type of dodgy logic, much favoured by left-wing types, "they don't really need the money, so it's OK for me to help myself".

Associating the two words 'female' and 'logic' is your basic error. To qualify that I know a lot of ladies who in their professional lives (no, not THAT 'professional' life) are very capable of logical thinking. But give them a choice of frocks or in a dispute with the male partner - forget logic.

S, aargh!

LF, B, I think the worst that could happen is that she is done for perjury (lying to the court) but even then, the prosecutor would have to be able to prove that she knew she was lying (i.e. knew the kids weren't his) and knew that it was relevant to the outcome of the case.

L, agreed.

Its very indicative in these sort of cases that unless the man does absolutely nothing, any steps he takes in retribution will always attract heavy criticism - 'He should let bygones be bygones' etc, especially from other women. Yet if a man were to perpetrate a similar long term deceit on a woman (say pretend to be very ill and make her support him financially for decades) no one, especially women would criticise her for any form her retribution might take.
