What If The Shoe Was On The Other Foot?

So... This week one of the big stories is about the "copycat" crime of the severing of a man's penis. Eighteen years after Lorena Bobbitt's infamous crime of cutting of her husband, John's penis and throwing it out of her car window, a California woman has decided her husband "deserved" the same treatment, but her treatment was a bit more cruel. Catherine Kieu Becker cut off her husband's penis and threw it in the garbage disposal. Now, ladies, I know firsthand how painful it is to have a man cheat on you/do you wrong, however, cutting off, burning, shooting, or super gluing a man's hand to his penis is NOT a good form of  "punishment" or revenge unless you're willing to go to jail for it. I just think severing a man penis is one of the most cruel things you can do to a person. And it is interesting that people (especially women) are outraged when a man hits, is abusive towards or rapes a woman, but many women feel it is funny for a woman to damage a man's genitals. My question is what if the shoe was on the other foot? What if men decided to start cutting up women's vaginas? Would this still be funny or taken as a joke?

  1. If men where to start slicing women up, the media would definately harp on it forever and a day, the guy would be labeled "weak" (demented if you ask me, I would be forced to watch women groups act like all men are animals on fox news, and lastly (after the guy becomes the newest victim of prison love) he may be lucky enough to get the chair. Love the article!
