Another Man Maimed By A Woman, Another "Cute" Headline, Another Slap On The Wrist

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2007-07-06 07:09

After blinding her boyfriend by stabbing him in the left eye six years ago, the same woman stabbed him in both eyes earlier this year. The latest pair of attacks damaged his vision in the one eye she spared during the first attack and drew blood from the eye she destroyed six years ago. Story here.

Notice the "cute" headline? Or the fact that the woman only received a 6-month sentence for blinding the man in one eye and reducing his vision 20% in the other in a total of three attacks? Or that the courts chose to ignore a clear pattern of domestic violence resulting in grave injuries over a period of years when passing sentence on the woman?

Yeah, I'm sure that 6-month sentence will send a message - the same message it sends when the media chooses to make the murder, mutilation and maiming of men by their wives and girlfriends a joke. How anyone could expect men to take violence against women any more seriously than women are expected to take violence against men is beyond me.

"The paper said he didn't report the attack six years ago, telling the court his silence was 'a love sacrifice.'"

If there was ever proof of a "battered man syndrome" this is it. Also the reporter who wrote the headline, is a sick person, an abomination, with absolutely no morals or conscience. I would like to meet him, so I can punch him in the face and give him "battered reporter syndrome" (just kidding).

AND PATHETIC!

If the genders were reversed Amnesty International would be calling for a UN investigation of human rights violations in this case and would use it as a prime example of the DV abuse women disproportionately endure.

But since it is a man who suffers it is just a inane "giggle" story used to fill blank space in columns.
