    Definition of home-wrecker
    : someone who has an affair with a married person and causes that person's marriage to fail

    WIKIPEDIA
    A homewrecker (sometimes styled as home wrecker or home-wrecker) is a person, object or activity that causes or comes close to causing the breakup of a marriage (or similar partnership). The homewrecker is said to have taken one of the spouses away from the marriage, thus "wrecking" the marital home.

    Where do these define such as FEMALE?

    Well maybe you should inform society , not me.as far as I'm concerned, society doesn't know it applies to men since no one ever used it to describe a man.

    By society Nicole means 1977, whcih was the last time I even heard the term on TV. Must be a slow day in Vanillaville wherein she resides. By the way "non one ever'? I would submit your knowledge of life is so limited that the only person you speak for is you.

    Citing dictionary definitions is inane when one is fully aware of the colloquial inferences of the term. Home wrecker is as misogynistic a term as hysteria.

    Historically, where and when "homewrecker" has been used, men have generally made more money and had more power than women; they have been, more so than women, the "head of household." That has given the man the "power" to let another woman come in and "wreck" his "home."

    Does that sound sexist? Oh well. It's the ugly truth, I guess. That is why the term "homewrecker" is more often associated with women.

    I myself don't think the term is exclusive to women. Both women and men are capable of being homewreckers. And I definitely would never presume to say that it is 100% a woman's fault, as it takes two to tango, and it would be both parties' fault.

    I may have stripped through college, and I may still strip a little here and there for extra income while my real career is kicking off, but I do have morals. My legs are closed to married men.

    If society were truly equal women and men would bitch about everything, but men don't.

    The terms etymology is irrelevant. It doesn't negate the term's modern day use.

    I use the term for both men and women. I guess I am socially inept since I was fully unaware that the term was meant only to refer to a woman as such. Damn, Nicole, I bow to your intellect.

    Yeah, they always blame the outside person, the third person.

    Remember this, being a mistress can get you killed:

    Men will never have the lives we deserve until we start taking responsibility for our own actions. If your marriage is not working you need either a marriage counselor or a divorce lawyer. As it is today, you don't find too many of these dancing at strip clubs. But maybe we can put together a fund and start sending some of these girls to school. I had met one locally who was going to school to become a marriage counselor. And there have been lots who would make for good attorneys.

    Nicole, let me ask you something else. Here, a friend is saying that conservative women who do not support feminism are better, more accepting of a man's sex drive. Do you go along with this?

    Here, song on this album, "Evil".

    I think it is a Muddy Water's song. But it makes the outside man into the villain. But it does still portray the unfaithful woman as the evil one.

    I would also submit that the term "homewrecker" was more than likely coined by women, if only because that would be in sympathy with the spurned woman.

    Homewrecker is a pretty outdated term. Maybe it's still used in red States? Lmk.

    My take? Real stories. Female stripper/barmaid who is Married with Children(lets say) or has ring on finger falls love at first sight or looks to have crush look on male patron. She is scared startled etc... or begins to get flirty with male patron. After drinks are ushured and male patron is buzzed up gets tongue kiss action with female in front of other patrons. Male is taken to vip room or lap dance room and if at first glance is tongue kissed again or allured to getting lap dance instead gets BJ.
    Week later Make patron comes back to club or has been called by female via cell phone to stop on by.
    Upon arriving said female approaches male patron but her ring on finger is not on. Quickly she pays out of pocket for lap dance room or hands male patron money and says go give to person in charge of vip room or lap dance room. For next few weeks on same day male patron has recieved x aount of bj;s or mutual 69's. Following week male patron is ushured into room Female has bff or another female stands on guard at entrance of room and she pulls out condom and says I'm gonna put this on you and once ready We will have sex. Some thing happens she's gets startled Female at entrance comes in and says OMG don't do it get out quick etc...
    Next week said male patron returns and some female comes up to male and says do Me a favor and leave now. Don't come back for a bit or at all or I will call you nd let you know when to return . Female you had bj's with or almost had sex is Married with children and got caught orfemales husband is in club wauting to see/find out who male is that is having an affair with His wife.
    Lets say female is married to a bouncer married to some manager or owner of club or to some very popular friendly male when He comes to visit wife at work. Hmmm whose the home wrecker now?

    @Nicole, do you prefer the speculum to be warmed up or lubricated prior to insertion? Or perhaps both?

    Inequality between the sexes is the root of all other inequalities in society. If you can legitimate inequality in the home, the family unit, the very basis of society, you can then project that false justification on any other aspect of society.

    This is why women's rights are so important. A woman's right to her body, to be a full member of society, to not have her biology regulated against her self interests...

    Skibum, well stated!

    So our entire society hinges on this issue Nicole? Wow, thats a tall order. Kinda like drinking out of a firehose. Only a wanna be lawyer would make a claim like the OP.

    The rules about sex are still basically a double standard, one standard for men and one standard for women.
