Alright, it was just two husbands involved, and one of them happened to be my partner. There may have been a few too many glasses of white wine and a cocktail or two consumed. Regardless of the level of inebriation, this informal yet surprisingly insightful research is worth discussing and might even be featured in a peer-reviewed online journal. You could be reading it right now.
The husbands in this little experiment were first posed with three simple yes or no questions:
- Was it wrong for a well-known athlete to punish his young child with a switch?
- Should the NFL have taken quicker and stronger action after a notorious domestic violence incident?
- Is it wrong to steal and share private nude images of celebrities?
After a couple of drinks, their answers were a resounding yes to all three questions. The wives conducting the survey felt somewhat satisfied with their husbands’ responses initially. However, things took a turn when they probed deeper.
When asked if their strong opinions would impact their NFL viewership or participation in fantasy football, the husbands responded loudly—perhaps too loudly for the cozy restaurant—“No way!” Researchers were taken aback by the participants’ reactions regarding the scandal involving the theft of personal photos. Every single husband agreed that the women whose images were leaked had been violated. This response was comforting to those conducting the study. Yet, when asked if they had viewed the photos in question, only half initially admitted to doing so. The other half confidently claimed they hadn’t looked, only to backtrack and say, “I tried to but they were taken down already. So, technically, no.”
When pressed further, one of the researchers bluntly stated that even clicking the link to the photos was akin to endorsing the crime—a comment made perhaps too loudly, catching the attention of nearby diners. One participant laughed off the remark, while another remarked, “Hey, you’re getting all the backlash, but I’m the one who got to see the pictures!” This exchange did not bode well for the second subject’s home life.
Researchers were left with a conundrum. The data revealed that even well-meaning men can casually brush off unacceptable behaviors, especially when their fantasy football standings are at stake. But does this imply a troubling moral disconnect in the participants? If so, how does this finding conflict with the solid ethical framework established before they became parents and homeowners? How can a researcher reconcile being married to a generally good man who wouldn’t harm anyone yet seems to excuse the actions of others?
This analysis doesn’t take into account various factors like the current performance of the New England Patriots or opinions on the dance sequences in a popular film. However, researchers remain hopeful that with ongoing discussion—think endless Sunday debates, questions like, “What if that were your sister—not that it should even matter!” and expressions of disappointment—they can guide these husbands toward a more appropriate level of empathy. Or maybe not. Further investigation is certainly warranted.

In summary, our lighthearted yet revealing study illustrates how even well-intentioned individuals can overlook serious issues when personal interests come into play. The ongoing quest for understanding beyond surface-level responses continues, and perhaps with a little more conversation, we can encourage a shift toward greater empathy.
