Man Knocked Unconscious by Wife; Scenario Made Into Joke

	posted by Scott on Monday March 05, @06:37PM from the domestic-violence dept.
	This also belongs under the "inequality/double standards" dept....according to this story from Ananova News, a man who mistakenly sent a gift intended for his mistress to his wife was knocked unconscious by an ashtray she threw at him as he tried to flee. The incident occurred in Romania, and has been made into a joke here in the U.S. If a man had knocked a woman unconscious in the same way, even if he had found out she was unfaithful to him, we would disparage him as a jealous, dominating husband. The words "domestic violence" would be used to describe the incident. But not, for some reason, when the person being attacked is male.

How about chopping penises? (Score:1) by BusterB on Tuesday March 06, @03:01PM EST (#1) (User #94 Info) http://themenscenter.com/busterb/ Here in Canada, a woman in Vancouver chopped off her husband's penis (à la Lorena Bobbit) and flushed it down the toilet. His crime? He was sleeping around on her. She was convicted of aggravated assault, but spared jail time because she had a large number of children "to care for". Would any man have been let off because he had a large number of children "to provide for"? I don't think so. Of course, this resulted in a lot of jokes and witty threats from the bitches at work. Women, for some reason, think it's hilarious when a man gets his penis whacked off. Let a man even slap his wife, though, and suddenly it's not so funny.
