Bruce Norris's unDomesticated: adulterer knows female compassion: is "like a Nazi asking sympathy from a roomful of Jews."

 In   Domesticated,  his take  on  the all too familiar story  of   adulterous  politicians,   Pulitzer Prize winning playwright    Bruce Norris  has   the   libidinous  politician  he  invented  justify  his  years  of  cheating on  his  wife   by declaring  the  male species  to  be  naturally inclined to  resist  domestication--  in short,  monogamy.   While   initially  silently repentant,   Jeff Goldblum as  the  disgraced Pol   rips  into his   defense .  However,  he realizes  that  neither his wife or  the female characters  all around him are likely to  sympathize  with his  viewpoint.  He sums this up with, you guessed it,  a  simile. . .

 "For a man to want compassion from women is like a Nazi asking sympathy from a roomful of Jews."
