> Your poll needs the option “Our society is incredibly sexist against men.” That’s the only takeaway here, simply by the fact that such a thing is considered even quasi-acceptable and little more than a punchline. Yet can you imagine the _outrage_ if we were talking about mutilating the genitals of a _woman_ who cheated?

Eh. Way more men kill their wives/girlfriends every single year for cheating than women have ever mutilated men for cheating since the dawn of time.

> I mean seriously, though, I don’t get why women give this kind of stuff a free pass, while decrying domestic violence. It honestly seems pretty inconsistent. Or wait, is pointing out female inconsistency ALSO in violation of the feminist-lite zeitgeist? CRAP. Now what? Hmm…

Well, uh, I’m a woman, and I don’t give cutting off guys’ private parts a “free pass”. And it would be pretty weird, wouldn’t it, if “female inconsistency” didn’t exist, given that 51% of the world population has two X chromosomes and doesn’t agree on every topic with a hive mind consistency.

Using something like this as an argument of why all feminism is flawed is like using the guy who comments on every HuffPo article with some sort of incomprehensible screed about the power of healing crystals and the evils of vaccination as proof of how the Democratic Party is ruining America. The Internet has a tendency to amplify The Crazy, no matter how small a minority that Crazy is; I can assure you most women you interact with every day, given the chance, wouldn’t take a knife to your ding-dong.

Elbows wants to change the subject to DV against women, people. It’s more important.

Maybe we should hook up the woman in the op link with this guy:

He put the curling iron where you’re guessing he did.

If she wants sex before she knows what kind of car, job, or body you have, she’s crazy.

It was, she had burns and injuries. To add to the insanity she is in a wheelchair and apparently incapable of resisting, and it was all over a claim she cheated 50 years in the past.

This all reminds me of a little story.

Some ago I worked with, we’ll call them Jerk, Whore, and Victim. Jerk and Victim were married with two children when Whore took a liking to Jerk and set out to get him. Whore had a lot of practice getting men, she had 6 kids by 5 different men by the time she was 23, and she was well known for going after whatever she wanted.  
She was tall, thin and blonde and was rumored to have been with most of the men in the warehouse.  
Jerk wasn’t much better, he had a reputation for infidelity. He was fugly but obviously had something going for him.

I wasn’t working there when Whore finally captured Jerk. The story is that she claimed her van broke down one night and she asked if Jerk could come help her. It’s said that when he got there she was laying naked, spread eagle in the back of the van.

So Jerk left Victim, and his two kids, to move in with Whore.

Victim was crushed by this - although everybody thought she was better off - but she was still crushed. She also hurt for her kids because Jerk cut them off as well and moved right in as a step-father to the Whore’s kids.

Jerk and Whore were not content enough with this though. They had to plunge the knife in and give it a few twists as well. Whore made sure the Victim always saw the hickeys on her neck and Jerk and Whore were always allover each other as well  
Then they started, every night when they saw Victim pulling into the parking lot, Whore would jump up on one of the tables near the door, wrap her legs around Jerk, pull his crotch up against hers and they would engage in a deep tongue kiss as Victim came in the door. As she got in they would break off the kiss, turn around and smirk at her.

It hurt, and it was meant to hurt, and it was just plain out pure nastiness. They enjoyed it and when they saw Victim turn away, head down and shoulders slumped they would look at each other and giggle.

One night they did it right in front of me and I told them they were so goddamned lucky I was not Victim, because if they pulled that shit in front of me at least one, if not both, of them would be carted out of there in a body bag.  
They are two of the most low-life disgusting human beings I have ever met.  
After that they kind of stayed away from me.

Anyway, Victim was a nice person, but this was destroying her. She did kind of start to go crazy but more in an internal way than external. She started having tremors and you could see her losing it. Eventually she had to quit. However, had she ever snapped and hurt them I would have been one of the first to her defense. I think most everybody would have taken up for her.

Sometimes crazy people don’t start off that way. There are people out there who love to hurt, who love to push buttons, who lie and play games, who love to poke, poke, poke. They are the ones who won’t leave it alone. They always have to give the knife one final twist.  
Sooner or later they poke one time too many, or they poke the wrong person.  
I don’t feel sorry for them in the least.

So anyway, to conclude. Victim and Jerk got divorced and the Jerk married the Whore and they went on to have two kids together. Jerk hasn’t changed, last time I saw him he was still trying to pick up every new young woman who came to work. Several times when the Whore came in and would see him trying to pick up the new hires she’d get upset. He’d actually yell at her to get away from him, couldn’t she see he was talking to somebody else. By now the tall thin blonde was skeletal, almost bald, and she looked liked she had aged 20 years just in the few years she was with him.  
She’d jump up on one of the tables, hug her knees to her chest and the tears would start. We’d all look at her, shrug our shoulders, and go back to whatever we were doing. No sympathy from any of us, she wanted him so badly, she got him, deal with it.  
It wasn’t so funny for her now.

He’d always go over and tell her oh baby don’t cry, you know I love you, she is nothing to me. Then he’d look up and smirk, and go back to the sweet talk.  
He knew exactly what he was doing. One day he’ll play with the wrong woman.

Well Mr. Bobbitt got his wang reattached and later enlarged and got to star in two pornos where he banged a bunch of hot woman so I think it worked out for him ok. I recall from the case that Lorena basically said he was selfish in bed and didn’t care if she got her rocks off.
