Man sleeps with four women and gets his parts Krazy Glued!
Full story pasted here.
----
http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/08/cops-wife-three-other-women-torture-husband.html

STOCKBRIDGE, Wis. -- Three women who had affairs with a married man are accused of luring him to a motel where, joined by the man's wife, they tied him up and applied Krazy Glue to his private parts.

Therese Ziemann invited the man to a motel on Thursday, tied him up, promised a massage and then sent text messages to the other women, according to Calumet County prosecutors.
Once all the women were there, they confronted him about his infidelity, police say. Ziemann punched him in the face and glued his penis to his stomach with Krazy Glue, according to the criminal complaint.

The women fled the motel when the man started screaming, officials said.

Charged with false imprisonment are Ziemann, 48, of Menasha, Wis.; Michelle Belliveau, 43, of Neenah, Wis.; Wendy L. Sewell, 43, of Kaukauna; and the man's wife. The Associated Press was not naming the wife to protect the man's identity.

Authorities say Ziemann punched the man in the face and glued his penis to his stomach.

The women are free on $200 cash bails.

Maybe not.

4. Men controlling women's vaginas is such a common occurrence,
Edited on Tue Aug-04-09 02:12 AM by pnwmom
it's lost its shock value. Unlike what the woman did to the man.

And what they did -- not that I'm justifying it -- can be fixed a lot more easily than, say, removing the clitoris and fusing the labia together with thorns and catgut.

And yes, I realize that it is other women who generally perform this action -- but they do it because women are considered worthless as wives to men if they are intact.

109. So what is your point?
You say that you dont justify what the women did, but seem to think its no big deal because it is easier to repair that damage than it is to a woman? Men gluing a womans vagina is NOT a common occurrence. You should be outraged that four women CONSPIRED to kidnap a man and then (sexually) assaulted him. Had 4 men done this to a woman, what would have been your response?

which you have now picked up on -- including the potential flames to start a gender war.

As far as being outraged, there is so much to be outraged about in the world. Based on the few facts known we know at this point, I'm not ready to spend energy being outraged about this particular case.

1. women being violent toward men is CUTE and FUNNY!

2. men being violent toward women is abhorrent

3. the people who believe 1. and 2. also believe men and women are totally equal in every way!

124. Why would you argue from this point of view
no one is comparing the abuse or saying that violence against women is funny or something to joke about. Why do you justify this as being jokable by claiming that women suffer under men?

I just do not get some of the backward nonsense in here.

228. Reread what I wrote
in this thread in addressing other posters. It isn't about who posted it. Whether male or female, original poster or responders, this is about hypocrisy in the "liberal" community and their bias against men and it is passe to mock, trivialize and in this case laugh about a man's suffering. I have never argued that this man is not worthy of criticism, but more to point out how if suffering it attributed to someone you do not like, it is funny.

As liberals we would be outraged if a suspected terrorist had his penis and balls crazy glued.

As I have said in a previous post, I feel sorry for the men who post supporting such violence.

"Whether male or female, original poster or responders, this is about hypocrisy in the "liberal" community and their bias against men and it is passe to mock, trivialize and in this case laugh about a man's suffering."

AFAIK, there is no "liberal community and their bias against men......" except in the propaganda of Rush Limbaugh and his clones.

154. Humor depends on surprise. These women
"turned the tables" on the man, as it were -- resulting in surprise to the reader -- resulting in humor. Not subtle humor, or smart humor, or dry or witty humor -- plain old slapstick humor, which is often nasty, by the way.

Now, in the opposite situation, there is no turning of the tables, no surprise, nothing humorous at all. Just tragedy repeated through the centuries and across many cultures. But this is precisely why the other situation is funny to many people -- it is the opposite of the expected, therefore it's humorous.

230. Interesting take
and I see your point. I, myself, think this is an ironic turn of events for this man, but I do not relish it like I see from both male and female posters. Your angle is a good one, but I am just responding to what seems like a common trend in DU. The bigger picture is that it is considered fine to mock, denigrate and in this case, laugh at a tortuous act on men. As the father of two sons, a liberal with plans on teaching my boys well, to raise him in a community that thinks so little of him would be a shame.

245. Then do him a favor, teach hiim about male privilege and prevent the disease of thinking that every
thing is always about him and his gender.

"...but I am just responding to what seems like a common trend in DU. The bigger picture is that it is considered fine to mock, denigrate and in this case, laugh at a tortuous act on men."

That is completely absurd. Take a look at the real big picture and develop some perspective. Please.

which is all about other people getting hurt.

On the other hand, I understand that it is a natural human reaction to laugh when the tables are turned -- especially in a way that doesn't really seem that gruesome (even krazy glue can be removed).

20. Agreed.
Treating any attack such as this as a prank is a serious miscarriage of justice. False imprisonment is a crime. Beating a person who you've tied up is a crime. Super gluing the genitals of a person is a crime.

199. Exactly.
And this is just one out of countless examples where its ok and funny to see a man abused or assaulted, but, outrageous if the same thing were to occur against a woman.

You can see small examples of this double standard all the time in the movies and television. A woman slaps a man because for whatever reason she felt offended. This scene is played out countless times in countless scenarios with the context of it being behavior which is acceptable enough. Teaching our culture that a man is suppose to take it if a woman slaps him, and, that if a man is slapped by a woman he deserves it.

Movies have been made about cheating women with the crux of it being "she wasn't being satisfied in her marriage". In other words: Her husband wasn't enough for her, ergo, her affairs weren't a bad thing. She was only looking to have her needs fulfilled, etc. Again, not only promoting a double standard, but, also, dumping on the victim because he's the man and its always the man's fault.

i wasnt really understanding where you men were coming from. but this is spelled out much better to understand the anger here in this thread. and you are absolutely correct. i have never thought it ok to slap a guy. never liked it in movies. it was more my generation 60's and 70's where it was an acceptable norm and it really offended me. my brother had a girlfriend that would slap and i told him slap back. i dont buy it.

261. Yup. What many fail to see is the sexism in that.
Edited on Tue Aug-04-09 10:55 PM by TahitiNut
If one says it's sexist, far too many claim that "reverse sexism" just doesn't exist because women are, by far, the more abused, both individually and socially, all over the world.

But the interesting thing is it's actually sexist against women to assume they're less responsible for their own behavior, are more 'emotionally needy,' and must be treated more forgivingly .... like children.

It fascinates me that so many, who're quick to rise to the defense of women (against sexism real or imagined) are so fucking blind to the perpetuation of these very memes. Maybe it's "feminine intuition"? (I notice that the batshit insane sociopath "Ignored" has been attracted to this thread ... like a dung beetle to a pile of manure ... and "Ignored" is a great example of one incapable of seeing the sexist idiocy of their own Krusader position.)

... and go to divorce court if you want to see "equality" in action. In most states, the woman has all the rights and the man is assumed a priori to be a deadbeat.

Women can get off their high horse about "equality" until they really mean it.

this post.

cause though i agree with what you are saying in the courts, something i have seen, that i think is totally unfair and fight against, when it is in my personal realm, more so than the actual males in my life fight, to argue as you do is just as wrong.

i am told by the males here, all we want is understanding, a fairness and yes, we will be there for women when the shit is on the other foot, being the progressive male. i havent seen much on this site. and this is the very type of post, that the male should challenge if they are serious. even with your very valid point of female privilege with court and family matters.

164. "Just a cheating cheater"...
who may or may not have cheated with a number of other women, some of whom may or may not have STDs or even HIV/AIDS.

If he wants to expose himself to such things, that's his choice.

But he has NO right whatsoever to expose his unknowing sexual partners to it.

All he got for being a total fucking pig was a beating and a gluing. His sexual partners might in the future have to deal with a whole lot more as a result of his sexual treachery.

And...what makes this so deliciously funny to me is that he appears to be the type of man who is PROUD of sleeping with (let's tell it like it is here, though...we're all adults...he's FUCKING them) a whole harem of women. Big man. Me Tarzan. Player and proud of it...

He got what he deserved. I'd go so far as to wish some particularly nasty STD on him, but that would mean his victims would probably suffer as well, so I can't. Maybe from now on he'll think twice before being a faithless pig.

In the OP, was this guy's wife adequately fulfilling his needs? Just wondering because:

When women cheat its justified, romanticized and considered an indictment against the man for not being adequate in fulfilling his wife's needs.

215. I like your posts seabeyond.
"i think there is an equality on both gender excusing their behavior."

Exactly... And if I may elaborate. Gender based topics need to drop the stereotype/bigoted notions about men and woman. For example: I know a few women who are as big a dog as any guy I know, and, I know a couple of co-worker guys who have wives about as affectionate or sexually stimulating as a block of ice.

Maybe the death penalty should be imposed for cheating cheaters. Every stroke could be considered an assault with a deadly weapon.

You know, his girlfriends were adults, too. They were old enough to know about STDs and take responsibility for their actions. HIs wife is another matter, but as a friend of mine did (for a year after her divorce) she can be tested. She should be tested! I did not exonerate the cheater. I just don't like cruelty. And I dislike how easy we(I mean all human beings) gain satisfaction, even in a vicarious way, at the expense of another person's suffering.

But it is okay to glory in this chump's pain, because he is beneath us, right? We can save our liberal hearts for people who deserve it, like four adult women who should have counted to ten and walked away with at least their humanity intact.

Guess she's a pig too. She's the one who did the gluing, and it seems she was pissed because she had paid for the room at their motel sordide for months and had given him money besides.

7. These ladies must have been fans
of Reservoir Dogs

Well, whoever she was, Elois
looked like her. So one night I
walk into the club, and no Elois.
Now the bartender was a wetback,
he was a friend of mine, his name
was Carlos.
So I asked him "Hey, Carlos,
where's Lady E tonight?" Well
apparently Lady E was married to
this real piece of dog shit. I
mean a real animal. And
apparently he would so things to
her.

FREDDY

Do things? What would he do? You
mean like beat her up?

EDDIE
Nobody knows for sure what he did.
We just know he did something.
Anyway, Elois plays it real cool.
And waits for the next time this
bag of shit gets drunk. So one
night the guy gets drunk and
passes out on the couch. So while
the guy's
inebriated, she strips him naked.
Then she takes some crazy glue and
glues his dick to his belly.

When a man lies to you in order to have sex with you, when you find out you feel as though you have been sexually assaulted.

My Mr Zola, whom is far from being a feminist, believes that there should be no legal charges against these women.

If you've never experienced it, you'd be surprised how some males act if they know a woman doesn't have a husband/boyfriend/father,etc., that will hold them accountable for shitty behavior.

29. Yep. Rape is a very serious topic. Oh, wait ... prison rape? Let the laughs begin!
When it's reported that more men than women are raped, there's no outrage. It's minimized. It's ignored. It's ridiculed. It's rationalized (well, some of those men are rapists themselves). That's wrong, of course. The rapists in prison are likely rapists outside of prison, too.

33. Yes. It is a horrible double standard.
I have a very close friend who was sent to prison on a marijuana charge. There was a domestic dispute called in at his apartment complex, and the cops knocked on his door instead of the correct door down the hall. He opened the door up wide enough for them to see his stash on his coffee table, and the rest is history.

Based on his behavior during certain situations pre and post prison, I would bet the farm that he was raped. I've tried to get him to open up about his time in prison, but he is suffering in silence. The thread you are referencing really shook my faith in humanity. Cruelty not only rationalized, but embraced. It was sickening.

45. Indeed. It's the inmates who are the least threats to the public who get raped.
All those non violent criminals we ship away for drug offenses or property crimes are the rape victims. The rapists are the criminals who should never see the free world again.

You'd think those groups would be separated, but our sadistic penal systems enjoy making prison rape and abuse part of the "punishment."

43. i only saw males joke about this in two threads. i only saw males condone the rape in prison
i have not heard one female condone rape of male prisoners, as a matter of fact, they are generally as vocal or more than males.

on that specific thread, it is was the dismissal of women with subtitle and the inaccurate number they used in comparison of male/female rape.

i have also had threads of date rape, justification of 12 yr old strippers and rape simulation games of little girls with men "joking" or boojahing that behavior too. but then i also didnt see the male outrage at that behavior, as i do on these male threads

abuse, dehumanizing, degradation, of either gender is just that, abuse, dehumanization and degradation.

Edited on Tue Aug-04-09 10:07 AM by seabeyond
i also saw females angry that they took female rape and compared to male. and the numbers they accrued for male rape was different from the figure given to female rape.

i saw a lot of people purposely not understanding or listening to what females were saying. why they were angry. i didnt want to play in the battle because i really dont feel we need to be competitive on which gender is being more abused.

a simple

it is wrong, ... suffices.

on this thread, why is it the one woman that kinda condoned, though clearly does not, got questioned. and the men still just keep on coming on to joke and no one is going after them

it is once again making into a gender battle instead of addressing the issue. which that rape thread became, and i dont need to be a part of that.

63. You are right in the sense that
the gender battle outweighed the salient point the OP was making. So I won't rehash that aspect of it here, since it would likely result in a flurry of deleted posts and pissing contests. I would be happy to continue this train of thought via PM if you are so inclined, though. But you make a good point about the male behavior in the thread and it sounds as if we are not that far apart. :pals:

the act of rape....

i dont get it. i dont get why it would be a foreign concept to anyone. a lot of male children are raped. there are lots of "antics" and i say with disgust, in the locker room showers providing sexual humiliation.

i have not considered this to be to "get women to like them". maybe the self hating makes sense

but then also, as there are women that do the stupid, thinking it will get male to like them, i can see this. (how i do it some times, the more i post in thought, the more i can get it). i guess a man jumping on and yelling ya.... they rape, let them be rape, can be construed as support for women, by some males.

thanks for the insight

they do it so other like-minded males will like them? Maybe it would be seen as feminine (and therefore bad) to say anything was wrong with such behavior?

219. Yep
Men are not the enemy as often depicted in DU (without any real moderating). I find many of the men on here will sacrifice their gender to please women. I am against all violence against women and men and anyone.

Again the reverse scenario. A woman cheats on her husband with other men. They find out and crazy glue her labia together. Regardless of how heinous of a person she man have been the act of torture on her is not warranted. That is the hypocrisy.

If that was reported on DU as such a story, I doubt anyone would find that as a justified. So why is it that it is funny if it is a man? I think it stems for legitimate anger about what was done to many women on here by men. But it is so often fueled by rage and victimization (legitimate) projected in an illegitmate fashion.

So I ask why is this a jokable situation?

If in Guantanmo Bay, this was done to a prisoner, most DUers would be outraged.

223. seeing how i consistently stand up for either gender in abuse, or humiliation
you are singing to the choir.

i have seen plenty of threads where women are the victim and the males came in with joke after joke. or the stupid... worthless without the picture. one of the most disgusting threads was the mp that took pictures of female soldiers in shower. no males admonished the males making asses out of themselves and most all of that thread was male jokes. if it was truly as you say, men would have equally been offended. didnt happen

girl has boyfriend take her nude pictures, boyfriend shows friends as a trophy, what a man, humiliates her and what do we get on du.... the ever present and adolescent (from grown men) worthless without picture....

so i find it to be hypocritical this outrage too.

229. And I would not defend
the actions of the men who did what you describe above. I would speak out as vehemently and you would.

The sad thing that I see is that in the absolute acknowledgement of patriarchy and all of it's extremely damaging affects upon women, it seems to be ok for the reverse to be true in here. I understand that alot of people have been victimized, but if we are ever going to move forward it is not at the expense of one gender or the other.

289. that is the frustrating part of du. you said you would vehemently speak out against... and we hear
that in threads like this, when male is actually asking for equality, but we do not see it when the time comes. ever.

there are a couple men that come on and will make posts, but none that will challenge fellow male

another point is how conveniently you shift male poor behavior to female. they do it to look good in front of female. it almost becomes womens fault excusing the weak male. we get that way too much.

and yes, women are almost continually experiencing patriarchy. when my boys say, but i have never been a racist, i stand up with blacks, gays, women with the threat to my own body, why are they angry, racist back at me. i am not part of the problem. i explain to them there are reasons, valid reasons why and behooves them to understand. whether like it or not, it is there, and it is there through the creation of their gender

and lastly, damn straight there is a perceived female privilege that i equally dont like and fight. the most recent one (and no, it was not the prison rape thread) was do you tell father you are preg or is it ok not to tell him. i was so offended the one sided ness of a lot of the womens posts.

Edited on Wed Aug-05-09 07:57 AM by seabeyond
i also stand up for blacks, gays, children and oh MEN when there are injustices. does that mean i do it only cause i have been hurt as a black, gay, child or man? hell no. i do it cause those are injustices and i have a responsibility and obligation to speak out

you used the "weak, emotional little lady" that doesn't have a brain, only emotion, bullshit

300. Extremely badly, thanks for reminding me. Really. It feels really good.
Why did you say that to me? Do you think that I've been unfair in this thread?

I don't even know how to respond... but reading that response, coming from someone who claims only to want fairness... I'm tempted to call it 'telling'.

There is a poster in this thread, a man, who said something ugly about 'most' women... no men chastised him, even after he himself admitted the ugly comment was fueled by past experiences. The women who commented were kind and understanding... but you... you so rudely said that to me. You don't care... you just want to score some kind of point... even if it's completely unfounded. Fucking pathetic.

I hope you're happy with yourself. Thanks once again for bringing all those memories back up.

I didn't deserve that. It is not what this is all about, and I don't understand why you said that.

303. I am familiar with your threads of the past
and you have rarely been fair to men. I find that there is a percentage of women in DU, who have been victimized by men in the past, and then use that as a justification for denigrating men as a gender. You point to a rare incident where you read a post by a man, who didn't get responded to by men, but I can tell you that the opposite is more often true. It is en vogue to mock men and that which is masculine in DU and when you call women, and some men, on it they fall back into victimization as the last refuge, like you just did. Then if I pursue this further, I look like the bad guy because I called you on it. That is what is really pathetic.

And you are right, I don't really care about you. I only know you by your posts and from what I have read, there is not much to like, quite honestly, so I am not considering your feelings. I tire of the self righteous, vindictive women who think that they can say anything about men and it should be tolerated. They often take a highly aggressive, hostile stance and, God forbid if they are confronted, play the victim.

Back up your claims.


While you're at it, back up your claim that in most cases, men do call other men out on that shit, "I can tell you that the opposite is more often true"... just telling me is meaningless, prove it.

103. I saw exactly what you did.
Plenty of women (and some men too) justifying prison rape, because heck, some of those people getting raped just might be rapists themselves. It was one of the most disgusting threads I had ever read on the DU and the apologists for the people downplaying the significance or even condoning prison rape made me absolutely sick.

286. Yes, that's exactly what happened.
Why such posters are allowed to spew their gender based hatred without any repercussions is a mystery.

Look at this thread. Some posters have made one vile comment after another, and it's obvious they don't have the least worry about spouting their neverending gender based hatred. Their comments remain, as emblems that many who claim to embrace equality don't live it at all.

Equality means women are held to the standard as men when it comes to crimes, particularly domestic violence and sexual assault. Using the "King's X" approach, allowing gender based hatred when it is directed at men, is not progressive and never has been.

291. when a poster totally ignores the points of said offensive poster, then
your perspective of what should be allowed and not is skewed.

to, you are missing the point of that poster for agenda or cause of anger. so you are not going ot be satisfied or feel validated if you refuse to look at is in the bigger picture, as poster stated. when microing it, it is so clear, you are missing the macro perspective adn the anger on the other side. that is never productive. i dont know if it is your passion on this subject or if you are willingly not acknowledging.

MOST ALL the women on this thread is saying the super glue was too far. but they are not compassionate with the guy that cheated.

that isnt enough for some on the board, and they call them man haters (which is lame) insisting this man needs to be seen as the innocent. there is a difference from seeing him as innocent, and seeing him as victim, not particularly innocent.

There were some men who took the same position, but most were hit-and-run. The people who really dug in and kept pushing that revolting line were, as I recall, women.

I'm not accusing you of anything, btw. There are two or three names I remember from those threads who consistenly argued a point that I found particularly repulsive, and they claimed to be women. But they weren't you.

297. i didnt have a vested interest. i cam to the thread late. i do not have to justify or excuse
or lessen prison rape. i dont feel a need to be competitive with male female rape. it is simple for me

it is wrong.

one of the first subthreads i encountered was male posters i really like saying how women approve. was a huge wtf to me.... cause the ones that oked the rape as i read down thread were male. i posted on that thread, totally backing the male perspective on prison rape wrong. joking about prison rape is wrong. i did not understand why female were getting the blame from their posts. further down the thread i saw the problem. a different perspective. i had not taken op in the manner of the women, cause i was simply seeing rape wrong. when i read what they said, i understood what they were saying. i also understood what the men were saying. and i saw that there was a refusal to listen, so i didnt post and stayed out of the thread

the perspective that women were oking rape was due to women trying to explain the imbalance in the op. and that was not the agenda of the post. wasnt receptive to understanding

298. There were some making that point, IIRC-- and I
completely understood where they were coming from. The thread's title could be interpreted to be suggesting that rape of women was less of a problem, and there were a lot of people responding to that. And rightly so-- I would expect nothing less.

There were really only two or three people who continually pushed an argument I found repulsive. You weren't one of them, and I hope you don't think I'm accusing you of such. Those same few names I mentioned do seem to pop up and push the same line whenever this kind of subject is raised. At least that's the way I perceive it.

284. no. it isnt sick. there was purposeful obtuseness with what women were saying
in that thread. whether wanting to address their argument or not, they were making a valid argument, as you men were. but you men refused to recognize what was being said or acknowledge it for agenda purpose.

i wasnt in it. so though i am in this post, and people like to say i am a "man hater", i am not fitting that mode. but we wont address that, or the reasons either. too complex. much easier to reduce it to what you guys are reducing it too

now

on the other hand

i much better understand where you all are coming from. has been insightful and useful to me. raising two boys it is a good thing. but i will also be using the area that you are purposely being obtuse not to understand, learn, grow and heal with my boys

what about all the men on the thread and other threads that immediately say, yea gang rape. adn is almost always men using the prison rape humor. why am i not seeing you go after your fellow male.

if a male cheats on his wife he is doing it cause he

cant help himself
his dna
biological
spreading his seed
boys will be boy

he is applauded and patted on back and called a "man"

i guess it depends on if we want to validate bad behavior or not. and if there is a need for validation, one might ask why it is needed

it is much simpler to just give onus to the responsible party, equally

or if you're a gal and get your fingers stuck together while trying to superglue/crazyglue something, nail polish remover will get it off. It doesn't work easily and quickly, the way it does when you're taking off nail polish, but continued application and rubbing and it does come off.

312. Lol, I was being sarcastic.

Some story breaks in the news, then as it unfolds pics appear. Not so much here, but elsewhere you get the inevitable comments along the lines of "Well, just LOOK at him/her/them. It's no WONDER." Or "That person LOOKS batshit crazy. Figures." That kind of thing. Truth is though, all kinds of people commit crimes. These ladies are not physically attractive, but Lorena Bobbit was. Paul Bernardo didn't "look" as though he needed to rape anybody.

Hope you can sneak a nap. :)

If he's cheating ... it's HIS fault.

If she's cheating ... it's HIS fault.

If they attack him ... it's HIS fault.

We shouldn't have to go over this. Anything bad that happens is the man's fault, and anything the woman does, well, he made her do it by being insensitive and unsupportive.

48. Would you be able to feel sorry for a woman whose vagina was super glued by her husband?
Does a cheating wife deserve to have her vagina super glued?

She's having her cake and eating it, too, to use your words.

59. Women are already punished in this fashon
Acid attacks, genital mutilation. It's already happening now. Has for generations. And for much less of an infraction than stepping out on one's partner.

The fact that it has now happened to a man makes it suddenly worse somehow?

How, exactly?

64. Then you WOULD be offended if this was done to a woman by her husband.
So would I, but I don't make excuses for women who commit heinous acts and try to rationalize it because somewhere a man is being equally mean to a woman.

You're rationalizing horrific conduct by these women against this man because other women have been abused by other men.

I reserve "horrific" for murder and dismemberment, and treatment of POWs, which didn't occur here. It was a degrading insult, certainly, but not horrific.

80. Would it be horrific if the husband super glued the wife's labia?
You seem to be unable to treat the violence the same for a male victim as for a female victim.

If you believe neither instance would be that big of a deal, say so. If you think it would be heinous if the victim is the wife, but not if the victim is the husband, say so.

87. No, I don't think it's heinous
and your outrage-o-meter needs serious recalibrating

In either instance, a trip to the ER and the problem is solved. And btw, the stories healthcare personnel could tell about people having "fun" with other people's parts could shock you for decades.

I think equating this with acid attacks and bridal murder is stupid. That is far, far worse. And many times, these girls did nothing more than being born in the wrong place.

This guy had a lot of choices that he decided to make, badly.

96. Agreed.
I don't address the other forms of domestic abuse or mutilation because those are red herring arguments. Certainly, they're worse as a matter of degree, but that kind of arguing is used to diminish a crime by comparing it to a worse crime.

Anyone who can shrug off this criminal conspiracy and action should take a long, hard look at their values.

It's a crime, and should be treated as a crime.

You're minimizing a serious crime, a crime that involved tying up a victim, beating him, and super gluing his genitals.

So if a woman who was having affairs had this done to her by her husband, would she "deserve to made the laughing stock"? Would she be an idiot and a total moron?

Or do you only find men deserving of this kind of criminal abuse?

That would be pathetic. Men are physically stronger, and thus can physically restrain her or run away.

Of course, obviously if she's holding a knife or something, yes. However, there are few circumstances where I feel anybody deserves to be hit, even if they weren't the first to do the hitting.

I just can't feel sorry for this guy. He wasn't a good person. It's horrible what happened to him, but he was not a good person either. Not saying he deserved it, but I just can't give him my sympathy, no matter what the gender.

and taken the high road at the same time had she filed for divorce first then when the court date arrived have the other three women walk in and testify to this guys extra-marital affairs with him.

Wife = slam dunk

Now the four of them are just plain criminals which, IMHO, makes their characters far worse than a cheater.

74. And if they have any children, he'll likely get custody now.
Child custody judges aren't moved by infidelity. They are moved by personal violence against a spouse.

The wife should have kicked the husband out and revealed his infidelities, and all the women should have heaped disdain on him, in the manner women have long heaped such disdain on men who have philandered.

This was simply a criminal conspiracy by some women who are probably not new to criminal actions.

98. That's how most judges view it.
Infidelity is a terrible breach of one's duty to a spouse or significant other. The penalty for infidelity is divorce, separation and/or the ending of the emotional and sexual relationship. That's what it deserves and should get, unless the person cheated on prefers to work it out.

But domestic violence should never be accepted, by any partner in any relationship. That's true of gay, straight, or bi couples. Hitting a partner is not acceptable. Tying up a partner is not acceptable, unless that's their kink.

Family courts abhor personal violence by parents against anyone, as well they should.

Edited on Tue Aug-04-09 12:11 PM by TexasObserver
It's likely that your ex has a bundle of behaviors that reveal you to be the better parent. While his infidelity is certainly one aspect of his lack of parental maturity, he's likely lacking in other ways, too. He probably isn't as nurturing as you, doesn't take parenting as seriously, and fails to commit the time and effort you do. Giving you custody was likely an easy choice.

If you were a drunk, or a druggie, or a violent person with the kids, you wouldn't have custody, even if you were as pious as Henry the VIII's first wife.

231. Funny thing about you Omega is
that you have become that which you hate. I tend to believe humans have both masculine and feminine qualities, true, created by pre and modern culture, but in terms of my interaction with you, you seem to embody the negative masculine.

I find that ironic and funny.

248. "Ironic and funny" is you can't see the "negative masculine" expression is what Post #172 points up
And I don't "hate."

So please, let's talk after you've worked on your Big Picture perspective, what you think the Big Picture really is and how balanced a role and a POV you want to help your son reach.

136. There was a case like this in Florida, too
and my parents knew the guy. He needed extensive plastic surgery on his equipment, and she'd been a little kinder, gluing the separate parts together while he was sleeping.

My parents could never figure it out, said the guy looked and sounded like a half wit pig farmer. He did get girlfriends and those girlfriends did get jealous.

"You seem to be incapable of turning this situation around in your mind and asking how you'd feel if the genders were reversed. Or maybe you're just fine with the double standard."




You seem to be spewing some generic remark and seem to be projecting irrelevantly.

The people making these false accusations are pissing all over the topic, the thread/s, the people who might have a discussion if one was allowed.

All those who want to claim "hypocrisy" or "double standard" in this regard (the humor/barbs/flames that come out before and after they try to strongarm other DUers' replies) had better take a good, hard HONEST look at the things that are said about women (and other marginalized groups) and women's issues on this board EVERY DAY.

In that context/environment, the notion that those sort of posts would be absent because the topic is a male being assaulted? That's not very realistic, is it.

The more that DUers make the board a respectful place for everyone, the less often (some) men will discover how (some) women (and other mariginalized groups) feel when these constant comments are directed at them or at their expense.


And no, that is not another "back atcha" attitude. It's the opposite. Creating a healthy, repsectful sane environment for discussion is in all our interests.

I do admit I find it amusing though... At the same time, I know I would find it more twisted and sick if a man did it to a female... I know it's a double standard and I can't really explain why I feel that way... Similar to when a 25 year woman teacher sleeps with a 15 year old male student, as opposed to vise-versa.

182. Having given the matter some thought...
I would be outraged if it were a man/men doing the same thing to a woman too, even though I find it pretty humorous that the women did it to the man.

Why...

Because men are the ones with most of the power in this world. Except for matriarchal societies, but those are the minority.

Porn, featuring women...perpetrated by men and distributed for the sexual pleasure of other men.

Snuff films...in which people (probably including other men) are tortured and killed...for the sicko viewing pleasure of other men.

Men (more so than women) molesting/sexually abusing little kids

Men measuring their "machismo" by impregnating as many unknowing women as possible.


Most men are good and decent people. I've known many good and decent men in my life.

But some are absolute pigs. And the pig who slept with four women deserved what he got. He thought he could get away with it because he's a MAN. Well I hope he's picking Krazy glue off his willy for a long time to come.

But I see your point in regards to the teacher scenario. I There is a double standard there but I am not talking about a sexual fantasy, I am talking about laughing about what we would consider torture if done to anyone else. This guy sounds like a real prick and I think this is a case of karma, but I do not relish in it or defend it like some have done in here, throwing many straw men (women) arguments to justify this act.

149. So they get angry when he cheats on them but its okay with them that ...
he is cheating on his wife?
They should all do prison time. I think they are probably a threat to society and have some deep social problems.

Now the assumption I'm making is that each of the three knew he was married, which I don't think is too much of a stretch.
His fault, other than cheating on his wife, is being attracted to sociopaths.

If one merely espouses those ideals when the victim is someone with whom they identify, that's not being progressive. That's just being shallow and without any real ideological standards at all.

277. Reminds me of an old Ann Landers radio spot
She used to be right after Arthur Godfrey on CBS. She read a letter from a man (Bewildered in Minneapolis), whose wife had discovered his affair. After confronting the mistress, both women started hanging out together.

"What's cooking?"

"Dear Bewildered: Probably your goose."

Still, Krazy Glue is way over the top. Why not just ream him out verbally? He would surely have gotten the point.
