I was watching this PBS Frontline report about terrorist David Headley (he planned the 2009 Mumbai attacks).
I was struck how his wives, after falling out with David, would go to the FBI and other law enforcement to say that he was a terrorist.
They were happy to marry him and to live with him, but when he did not treat them as they wanted, his wives went for the jugular and tried to destroy him.
That’s been my experience with various women. If they feel scorned, they stop at nothing to destroy you.
I don’t know any man who’s tried to destroy the career of a woman who’s broken up with him. I would never act that way and neither would any of my friends. We would never send faxes to an ex’s workplace to try to destroy her. Yet I’ve had that done to male friends of mine by their exes.
Bruria emails: “After watching PBS Frontline report about terrorist David Headley, the only question you came up with is Re: his wives loyalty? This raises some questions in my mind:
You ‘go global’ and generalize ALL women…That is warped and ugly. To add insult to injury, you sheepishly proclaim that you couldn’t “Go for the Jugular” as women do…Really, Luke? You just did! to a whole collective of women.”
