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.

When I read the first part of the post I was horrified. Because what stood out for me was the ALLEGED sexual infidelity. I thought it was going to be a story from some foreign country that treats woman as second class citizens. Like that woman that was (i think) killed because her husband wanted a divorce so he accused her of some horrible stuff. Her kids were taken away and everything. I don't remember the whole story but I think she was stoned to death.

Then I read the article. It was extreme! But there was no ALLEGED sexual infidelity, all the girlfriends and wife were there. She should have just gathered all the info and took him to the cleaners. Unless of course he had nothing, in which case gluing his genitals to his stomach is all the satisfaction she will get out of it.

I said "alleged" because it's not proven in a court of law that he cheated. The women could have made up the story -- just like the article you read about a person in another country.

I think the right response to this kind of attack is to be horrified and appalled. But when it was a man attacked by women, I wasn't appalled or horrified, and I am disturbed by that.

None of this is to say that I think it's OK to cheat on your spouse. It's not, and you're absolutely right that a cheating spouse ought to pay heavily in divorce court. But not be kidnapped and punched.

You're right, they could have been making it up, I didn't think of that. Like I said it was extreme what they did. They had to of known they wouldn't get away with it! I was a bit disturbed by it, but the first thing I thought of was at least he wasn't married to a Lorraina Bobbit. I think we have been desensitized to the violence so nothing shocks us now.

Oops, I meant to say "just like in the article" above there. Hope you didn't think I was questioning whether the article was real or not!

Oh, Lorena Bobbitt; I had forgotten about her. She was certainly extreme!

Not at all, it just made me think that, yeah, they could be lying.
Lorena Bobbitt....I remembered I had a little song that might be helpful to the people here who might have forgotten who she was...


THE BALLAD OF THE BOBBIT HILLBILLIES
(sung to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies)

Here's a little story of a man named John
A poor ex-marine (with a little fraction gone)
It seems one night after gettin' with the wife
She lopped off his schlong with a swipe of a knife
(penis, that is)
(rodeoed, fillet-iced)

Well, the next thing you know, there's a Ginsu by his side
And Lorena's in the car takin' willie for a ride
She soon got tired of her purple-headed friend
And tossed him out the window as she rounded a bend
(curve, that is)
(pricker shrubs, weel hubs)

She went to the cops and confessed to the attack
And they called out the hounds just to get his weenie back
They sniffed and they barked, then they pointed "over there"
To John Wayne's Henry that was wavin' in the air
(found, that is)
(by the fence, evidence)

Now Peter and John couldn't stay apart too long
So a dick-dock said, "Hey, I can fix your dong,"
"A needle and a thread is just the thing you're gonna need"
Then the whole world held its breath 'til they heard that he had peed
(whizzed, that is)
(stitched seam, straight stream)

Well he healed and he hardened and he took his case to court
With a cock-eyed lawyer (since his assets came up short)
They cleared her of assault, and acquitted him of rape
And his pecker was the only thing they didn't get on tape
(video, that is)
(unexposed, case closed)

actually, someone did get it on tape. there's a John Wayne Bobbit porno. (And no, it's not called "Forrest Stump"!)
A lot of porn stars were offended by the fact that it was made.

I remember hearing about that. A friend of mine told me about it, she said it was kind of weird and scarred.

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

you couldn't get me to watch that (and how nasty does something have to be to offend porn stars?!)
