Revenge Website ShesAHomewrecker.com Shames Accused Mistresses But Not Cheating Husbands

If hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, the social media age has invented a whole new way to fan the flames.

A website called ShesAHomewrecker.com provides an open forum for women to anonymously shame their husband's or boyfriend's alleged mistresses. Consider it 2013's answer to "The Scarlet Letter." Without revealing their own identities, vengeful wives and girlfriends can post rants, with photos, to publicly flog "the other woman" for sleeping with their significant others.

But many of those "other women" who do, and then find themselves humiliated online afterwards, say the damage can be long-lasting.

Dana Scott, 29, said she found her name and location plastered on ShesAHomewrecker.com after she had ended an affair with a married man three years ago. Since the post about the affair appeared on the site a few months ago, Scott said she has been bombarded with insulting comments, derogatory names, even death wishes, online.

and just leave it to Jerry Springer where they can at least face off on each other.

One thing that fascinates me, though, is how often the "other woman" takes the heat and you would think the guy had no part in it.

A website is not obliged to be everything somebody else wants it to be.

It's a fricking website.

OMG!! Democratic Underground praises Democrats but not republicans.

Anyone outraged is free to start their own site to shame husbands. Go for it.

Otherwise, start your own site condemning men who cheat.
