Did you hear this news story?

Four men lured a woman to a motel room under false pretenses and proceeded to tie her up. One of the men punched her in the face and poured glue on her genitalia as punishment for alleged sexual infidelity.





Oh, no wait, that was Four women lured a man, etc.

My own reaction to this story has weirded me out.

I thought I had crazy exes...

In all seriousness, that's really weird and messed up. Still, my first thought was, if the genders were reversed, it would've been more violent, and wouldn't have been deemed very newsworthy.

I think a four-on-one kidnapping and attack is always considered newsworthy -- assuming it happens in the US. Other countries, the US media is not so concerned about.

On first read, I found the story almost cute. And then I was immediately grossed out by myself. Why in the world would I find these women's anger cute?
