A lady who knows how to leave her mark on men

It's a funny story (and, yes, it'd be funny if it were a man doing it, too- or at least I'd find it funny) but she's getting off WAY too light.
 
I guarantee, if a man did this to a woman, there'd be outrage. But because the genders are reversed here, he's subjected to all sorts of mockery. There is something VERY wrong with that picture.

You betcha. Double standard, for sure.

I do agree, but with comments like this
"I would still give her one, take my chances..."
It's tempting to say they get what's coming to them

I find that last line disturbing. Do you actually believe that?
 
But when he woke in the morning he found she had carved “Dominique” on his right shoulder.
Never sleep with a nun who fell from grace. :(
 
She's not a bad looker, either. :(

I met a very attractive woman in a bar one evening several years ago who tried to strangle me in a corner. I guess crazy as fuck can be hot looking.

Definitely co-sign that. I can think of one exceedingly attractive girl who was so dependent I had to get a colleague take over her case before she starting really stalking me.

Dominique.... Man, this would have been twice as awesome if her name was "Alicia."

:guffaw: :guffaw:

Hmm, guy's a looker too.

See, people DO dig the scars!
 
hmmmm.... well, lets see.... read the article. it doesnt take a genius to figure it out.:rolleyes:

Um... you specificaly said "you" to me.
The article doesn't say anything about me.

I may find her even hotter.

You'd find a woman hotter if she carved you up like Thanksgiving dinner in your sleep? Dude, you've got problems.

The name, yeah that's a bit weird. Outside that, those aren't near as
bad as people are making them out to be.

bad enough if you were the one carved up.hmmmmm, or maybe you enjoy that sort of thing. well, to each his own.in my earlier post i was simply explaining to you that you wouldnt find her so hot when she carved you up.thats easy to understand, right?;)

I don't believe that someone would be willing to 'still give her one and take my chances' knowing what happened to the last guy. It comes over as somewhat senseless bravado and also diminishes any punishment she received.
 
This is being discussed on my other board. One of the men said:

Hey, scars heal and stitches look tough.
A shag's a shag.


:D

:lol:

Some of the Sun's comments are pretty amusing too:

"Well i've seen worse tattoo's [sic], at least she spelt it right."

"I would still give her one, take my chances..."

"Think yourself lucky bud. It's only because she fell asleep halfway through that you don't have "Woz Here" on the end of Dominique"

Wow. And all these are totally ignoring the fact that being assaulted is going to be a traumatic thing, and mocking him just because it was a female-on-male attack.

I can't believe you didn't notice that these were mostly men mocking themselves, not the victim in particular.

You say that and yet nested in the quote is stuff said that WAS definitely addressing the victim, not simply Sun readers mocking each other.
 
Given the fact that the conviction rate for rape is obscenely low just about everywhere, I could probably find you a dozen cases where rape was thrown out because 'she probably consented really' with the bare minimum of Googling. I don't think it's a good idea to go down the road of pitting 'men who get assaulted are pussies and asking for it' against 'women who are assaulted are sluts and asking for it', and asking who gets the worst of it.

Whilst we're on the subject, I came across this story earlier today. :(

I so hate seeing stuff like that. :(:(:( RIP....I only hope he can.
 
It's not about this guy getting a worse deal than a rape victim; I really don't think that's true.

I would be interested to know how much of taxpayers' money was spent on supporting this man, though.

It's about the horrible ways we blame victims for being attacked.

True, but that's present in this thread - starting with RevdKathy's hopefully unintentional inference that he was planning to drug this woman with Valium.

I'm not completely sure what you're driving at. Are you talking about rape crisis centres? (I don't know how their funded in your neck of the woods. Ours rely heavily on donations to survive.) If you mean that this man (and all victims of assault) should have the option of availing of free counselling should he need it, then I absolutely agree and hope that facility is is available to him. If you mean that too much tax money is spent on support for women who are raped, you're going on the 'pied in the face' list.

Victim-blaming drives me mad. That's why I brought it up.
