Man mutilates woman and some people think it is hilarious. Depressing.

horrendous domestic abuse newspaper story

I don't think I've ever posted in this section before, but I saw this and felt the need. The story itself is horrible but actually what has shocked me even more is that I stumbled across it on facebook where there are about a thousand comments beneath the link and the vast majority of them are from people saying how hilarious it is. And most of the people laughing at it are women. I've got a good sense of humour, sometimes even a dark sense of humour, but no matter how black my humour, I just can't see anything even vaguely amusing about a woman being mutilated.

lazocuter I think that's bollocks. You know it's bollocks, too. Because you aren't that stupid are you?

I have never in my life laughed at a man being physically assaulted or abused, lazocuter. And I've been a radical feminist for over 30 years.

...

Fucking liar

Only people who tend to laugh at men in pain, are other men. Like you.

This is why I just cannot support feminism or take anyone who calls herself a feminist seriously.

Domestic violence should be unacceptable regardless of gender, but whenever a female is violent towards a male feminists all find it fucking hilarious.

Well, this conversation is going to get us places, isn't it? If we say we don't think violence against men is funny you'll say we're fucking liars. If we say it is funny you'll do... what? Abuse us even more?

Why exactly are you wasting your time on here? Are you drunk?

Sharon Osbourne a radical feminist?! Oh, that is hilarious

I guessed that the new posts would be from you lazocuter

Let's deal with your posts in order.

No. 1 no not true. I can't recall ever encountering what you describe. If anything I think many women judge violent women more harshly than they judge men.

1. Do they say this? I assume you mean "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned (what you have written makes no sense).

The full quote is "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned". I often disagree with the regular posters here but I've never heard any of them say this.

1. I am stuck with this one as it makes no sense at all.

Sharon Osbourne is a radical feminist?

pahahahahahahaha.

hahahahahahaha.

Now you're just being stupid.

You are correct I know, but the law of averages suggest that you had to get something correct that DV and assaults are unacceptable. No one on this thread has disputed that. Oh, except you, who seems to think that mocking a woman who has been the victim of a sexually aggravated attack is someone you need to be giggling about. So yeah, the only people who tend to laugh at people in pain are men. Like you.

This is why I just cannot support feminism or take anyone who calls herself a feminist seriously.

And? Who cares?

Domestic violence should be unacceptable regardless of gender, but whenever a female is violent towards a male feminists all find it fucking hilarious.

No, still wrong. And looking increasingly stupid.

*This is why I just cannot support feminism or take anyone who calls herself a feminist seriously.

Domestic violence should be unacceptable regardless of gender, but whenever a female is violent towards a male feminists all find it fucking hilarious.*

OK, let's give this one last try. Can't you see that you're stuck in a self-perpetuating belief cycle? You have here self-identified feminists who believe that domestic violence is unacceptable regardless of gender. But rather than re-examine your belief that all feminists find violence to men fucking hilarious, you prefer to call us liars. What evidence would convince you that all feminists do not find violence against men funny, I wonder?

Love all my pretty asterisks!

It was my on my feed too and the headline was "woman abused by husband", except I don't know why, I feel"abuse" isn't a strong enough word for this, it should be "sexually assaulted" or "sexually attacked" "sexually mutilated"....the fact it was played down by the media with soft wording annoys me.

Poor woman . If anyone finds this funny they need their head read.

They totally rock

So yeah, the only people who tend to laugh at people in pain are men. Like you

Puffins , not entirely true as there appear from what other posters have said that there were women too who found it funny.

I think correctly you should have said "are witless idiots lacking any shred of decency or sympathy. Like you "

Lazo, a screen shot from 2007?

Every day rape threats, genital mutilation threats, home addresses etc are posted on twitter to women, and lots of men LOL in support.

You wouldn't like me to make a generalisation about all men from that, I assume?

Btw, that's not from the feminist board. HTH.

This is why I just cannot support feminism or take anyone who calls herself a feminist seriously.

No. You don't take feminism seriously for some ridiculous hang up of your own and have decided to use this nonsense argument as some kind of justification.

Pretty feeble effort.

It's odd actually, I can't find any of those posts on an AS. Any of them. So... either it's a figment of this idiot's imagination orrrrrr was taken from Chat 7.5 years ago and has been used as an example of the bad mummies being mean about men.

I reckon the second. However, none of those posters posts or (from the same AS) have posted on the Feminism boards. So, probably not feminists, and not representing feminist views.

You really do have a loose grip on reality, don't you Laz, old fruit.

Don't start on the fruit again, Puffins

lazocuter is a troll... yes?

This story is horrendous. OH read it out to me and we were both absolutely horrified.

I told my husband about it and first of all he thought I was describing a movie plot and when he realised it was true said " that is a very dangerous man who should be locked up for a long time "

I am fairly certain my husband isn't a radical feminist although he is a decent man or even a decent person

Lazocuter I'm going to assume that you haven't met every feminist on the planet, and can therefore not comment that "all the feminists" find male victims of domestic abuse hilarious. What a stupid comment!

I am a feminist. I have been a victim of domestic violence. I also have male friends who had been victims of domestic violence. I find neither situation amusing in the slightest, and highly resent the implication that I would based on my feminist views.

Have a word eh?
