Those of you with delicate constitutions, please don't read this post.

I used to say that -- if every time a man raped a woman, he had his balls cut off -- the incidence of rape would go way down.

I'm a strong advocate of fighting back, and fighting hard.

I wish that were the remedy, Meredith, but I'm afraid Anne is right.

It's too bad the sweet talking, con artists are believed before
the truth-telling public is. I know evildoers who lie easier
than most of us breathe. And the sad thing is, law enforment
believe their lies. What a crock of crackers that is!

Divine, I like your solution! LOl...

Don't you just love the name "Bobbitt" in association with
the act itself!!!

Least we forget ladies, most law enforcement officers are MEN so why would we expect anything better from some of them.

I saw Lorena Bobbit and assh/le Bobbit, her ex, on a late show not too long ago and they shook hands and both apologized to one another, but you could see by her body language she hates this guy still today. GOOOOOOOO Lorena!

I don't know; this is definitely making me uncomfortable. I know this thread started out about domestic violence but now it seems to be about rape and revenge. I understand these feelings but it's not like women don't dish out a great deal of abuse themselves. Child abuse is the one crime where women match men blow for blow. What's our punishment for the women who beat, maim, and kill their own children? What body part shall we cut off? If abuse is always a choice we have no excuses for the things some of us do, either.

Just recently, I think I read somewhere, where child sexual
abuse perps are mostly men. There are a lot of sicko women out
there too, but generally they are victims, as well. IMO we
are only kidding around on this thread. Many of us have been
divorced or abused by some joker, and so we take out our toxic
attitudes with words, only. Don't take us too seriously Ellemm.
Chatty, Ed3 and some of the rest of us are only goofing off!

Yes, I know that rape is about power, not sex -- but when women fight back in very un-pretty ways, the balance of power gets shifted. Men abuse their power because they can, and they get away with it. If men think there's high odds they'll get Bobbitized -- they'll learn that force is not in their best interests.

Unfortunately, children often have no way of fighting back. Abuse is unforgivable in all circumstances, and should be punished with a lot more than a slap on the wrist.

Divine,
I agree that the punishment for abuse, abuse of any kind, should be metered out to the full extent of the law. Some abusers are getting too light of a sentence. Then they get out of jail and do the same thing to another innocent victim. They ought to be hung in town square, in fact; oops, just kiddin'!

Goofing off my aunt fannie. I mean every word of what I said. And in what Universe is someone saying men and women as abusers are equal??????????????????????????? That is absurb, ridiculous and better check your facts, I have! That is so far off its scary. The facts are that for every 2 women who abuse a child, there are 160 men that are far worse. I personally believe that those two women should be punished as severly as any man, no excuses. Anyone, man or woman, who abuses a child or animal that can't fight back better hope their punishment isn't decided by ME!

Chatty,
Love post 185749! And the same holds true for elder abuse. If put on a jury deciding punishment for any type of abuse to a living creature who can't fight back, God help the guilty party! And I didn't really mean my Aunt Fannie was goofing off, either! Just appeasing the critics! LOL... The way you feel is the way I feel.
