Gauntlet Opinions - Carnal Knowledge: Screaming infidelities: "Type 'infidelity' into a Google search and you will find countless sites devoted to supporting victims of affairs as well as aiding them in discovering their partner's betrayals.
Interestingly, more and more of these sites are dedicated to understanding why women cheat and how their partners can catch them. Throughout history, men's infidelity has often been expected--even the notoriously devoted Napoleon had many lovers other than his beloved Josephine. Such expectations were rarely extended to women, despite the fact that many did keep secret lives, usually because once they were discovered or became pregnant at a suspicious time they faced harsh repercussions.
Recent statistics, however, show a rise in female infidelity. In North America up to 37 per cent of men and 22 per cent of women admit to having affairs. Many experts believe that the percentage of women having affairs should be higher, but remains stunted as many women are unwilling to disclose their dirty little secrets. "
