If my husband was unfaithful I would chop off his goolies

[jasper]

Can I just say this is not true but it is something I have heard said by women and seen written down lots of times. It generally goes unchallenged.

This or a variant.

I find it really worrying that it is deemed okay for women to say things like this .Or is it ok? DO others feel really uncomfortable about women using this kind of vocabulary?

Imagine if you were looking through Fathers' Direct and you came across a similar comment by a man. I will leave it to your imagination the exact wording of what a man might do to his unfaithful wife. Would you not be appalled?

its mean't as a metaphore for ending his known universe, its not literal.

like saying " am going to kill you" is a turn of phrase

if it makes your husband feel better, my husband ( on finding out if i ever had an affair) always said he would f*ck up the fella ...first!

now thats not a metaphore it is literal.

whereas i say " chop your Dick off..but leave your arms and legs because honey your going to need to work every hour god sends as i would royally screw you over"

i think you will find my version a mix of both.

i think a lot of fellas from the kinda background we have ( my dh & i) would (if asked) say the same as my husband

i have never in my life heard an equivalent to chop your dck off for a woman. never heard a man say "if she ever...i would cut her clt" its just not the kinda thing that flows out of your mouth in these lovely hypotheticals chop his d*ck off has a flow about it.

Im not bothered about the gender difference aspect this. I just wouldnt waste my energy personally. Id put my efforts into finding a really good solicitor and chop his wallet off instead

Im glad im not alone on this one. Thank you for your posts btw jasper.

Yes, I do find it disturbing and agree that the reciprocal comment by a man would be unacceptable.

However the difference is that (I believe) fewer men would be offended by this than women. After all it is the type of language they use themselves e.g. giving someone a bollocking, whether in fact they have any or not!! You don't hear of many people getting a titting, boobing or fannying....

Well I have said it - many times - jokingly. But DH knows quite well that it means get you where it REALLY hurts - i..e bank account!!

This reminded me of a docu I saw ages ago... where this woman did chop of her unfaithful partners googlywooglies and then blended them!!

On the contrary LOT in Liverpool people are always getting twa... well.. erm... hehe

God no! I've said this to dh many a time (but of course I don't really mean it!)

I feel it let's him know that I would not put up with philandering. I would be gone.

Unfortunaltley men were given willy and a brain but only enough blood to use one at a time

Oh, jasper, was thinking about this the other day when saw someone write it on here. "Er, no you won't". Not sure makes me feel uncomfortable, just makes me think the person who says it is a bit dim.

OOh like it, fastasleep, I lead a sheltered life

northerner, aren't they are in the same place?

I totally agree with you jasper. I know people don't mean it literally, but I too have read these comments and found them to be scarey and violent.

...And another thing, while I'm at it (in for a penny etc) I'm also shocked at the number of women who think men should be forced to have vasectomies as if it's no big deal.

Now I know I'm in trouble.

Great thread title Jasper!

Will now read thread...

Totally agree with you about the vasectomies SM.

I don't think it can be compared to someone saying "If I found my wife in bed with someone I'd throw her out the window/ beat her black and blue/ cut her up into pieces" for the same reason as everyone else has said: men carry out acts like this against women every day. Lorena Bobbit is famous because she was so unusually demented that she cut her husband's penis off. Millions of men commit horrific acts of violence against women and they aren't famous, because it's normal. There's just no contest.

With regard to the leaflet Colditz, maybe it's just in the Lincolnshire police area they were talking about, as opposed to nationally?

Don't find it sacry and violent at all. It's tongue in cheek surely?

How many cases of gooly chopping do you hear of? Apart from the aforementioned unfortunate John Bobbit?

I'd not chop his nuts off, but I'd leave him wishing I had done...

I prefer the phrase "I'll kick your bollocks so high inside you, you'll be spitting them out!"

This probably isn't physically possible, but it has the desired effect and I'm happy to say that he has never cheated!

PMSL at that Rhubarb!

can I just say .. what a fine initial answer to the OP misdee

I had no idea my insomniac ramblings would be of interest to others!

I never for a minute thought that a woman saying " I'd chop his balls off" was planning actually doing it.

WHat I find disturbing that it is ok for a woman to use this vocabulary to express the fact she would be very angry, not the idea she might do it.

It seems very wrong that it is acceptable for a woman to express her anger in terms of hypothetical genital mutilation of her partner.

I don't think it makes it ok just because "women don't actually DO that sort of thing, whereas men might " (in fact that is incredibly insulting to most men.)

When Lorena Bobbit chopped off her unfaithful husband's penis is was thought to be FUNNY by many. Imagine if Mr Bobbit had carved
up her labia and the general whisperings among men was "serves the unfaithful bitch right"

Let's not forget that many men DO suffer physical abuse by female partners.

i think that is pcness gone mad
