Is marriage repressive?

If you have an active e-mail loop, you must have received those Britney Spears photos. You know, the “going commando” (thanks for explaining the term, Polo) pics? When I received the first set of photos, my response to the sender was why is it that when a woman finally ditches her no-good husband, the most common reaction is “magwala”. I don’t know the equivalent word in English…. something like “going wild”.

Makes me wonder how repressive marriage can be for some women that separation serves as an equivalent of freedom. Observe an animal that has spent a long time in captivity. Once the cage is opened, it either shies away from stepping out — as though too scared of too unfamiliar grounds, or it runs or flies so wildly that it often slams against walls, posts, trees… I’ve seen it happen with dogs and birds.

In Britney’s case, is her bizarre behavior some sort of emotional release?

Or is it something peculiar among showbiz folk? You want to make a big comeback so you want people to talk about you, land on the front pages… you know, create the proverbial buzz… so you let the paparazzi catch you without underwear. Hilarious. And sad.

    i think britney just wants to come back with a "bang!" (or without, depends on how you look at it). disgusting gesture but, hey, it worked…

    there was study done and one of the findings was that married women compared to: single men, single women and married men, have the highest stress levels. it was discussed in my courtship and marriage class and i missed the part where my prof gave the citations. i guess better stop daydreaming in class, hehe.

    i know i shouldn't generalize their conclusions in the general public but it gets me thinking sometimes…

    i think that britney is just a silly little girl who wants to do like the big girls are doing. i remember she considered for a while to give birth in africa where angelina jolie gave birth to her child. now she wants to do like paris hilton who's had her coochie inavertently photographed several times, and i believe not intentionally.

    with britney i think it was deliberate because maybe she thought it would be cool. but to think that she just had recently given birth, is probably lactating and doing all of that is really on a downward path to self-destruction. next thing you know she'll be a drunk and an addict.

    Britney's actions are nothing compared with fed-ex sex tryst with at least 3 hookers and almost continuing party ritual at Las Vegas while she was pregnant and then after the second child which finally lead her to find him with a woman in his hotel room. Britney's behavior is a personal issue she had with fed-ex, getting back at him by spending the money and freedom that Kevin had been craving recenty without the cash cow such as Britney, that he sent feelers for reconciliation. Britney is just enjoying the feeling without sexually involved and without infidelity like fed-ex.

    I agree hilarious but not sad.

    Bizarre are people's skewed reactions to cast the woman's freedom as negative while keeping blind of man's infidelity. What a biased reaction of the general public.

    On comeback, I remembered Madonna promised Britney to bankroll her concerts once she is done with fed-ex. And that was said before her 2 pregnancies. The fact is Britney remains bankable with or without flashing which Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan did already.

    karen, really? single women have higher stress levels than married women? wow, that was never true in my case. being single meant being responsible only to ME while being married and a mom means being responsible for people aside from me.

    poppycock, she did look totally wasted in the share-a-stocking photos with Paris Hilton. It was so weird, really. Her boobs were popping out and Paris Hilton lent her a stocking to cover a leg? Weird.

    d0d0ng, re #3. "getting back at him by spending the money and freedom that Kevin had been craving recenty without the cash cow"

    You mean like giving him the finger a thousand times over… hehehe

    #5 britney's admission of getting a little too far without directly saying to fed-ex…. but there is a subtle hint….fed-ex liked his women without * accdg to one report… and britney commented to "thank God for Victoria's Secrets new underwear line"

    right, a finger a thousand times over….

    in your face… fed-ex

    hilarious!

    Is marriage repressive? Depends on who you marry! *LOL*

    For Britney, it is still my impression she called the shots. She had been "caged" by her marriage? Goodness, who will believe this? Not me!

    bayi, you gotta admit — she has strange taste in men. :razz:
