Sounds like a S&M fantasy gone wrong (if those chicks were any hotter...)

From a slap to throwing stuff to this (which is pretty clearly sexual assault). Even if you're not serious, the fact that people respond like that just normalizes the practice.

Well put.

It's not about justifying the violent act the women are committing, it is about what the violent act itself may represent. It is a perverse way for women to take some of the power that they traditionally have been denied. If a man cheats on a woman who has no way of supporting herself on her own (she had to quit her job to raise the kids, or never had a job in the first place), she may think she just has to sit there and take it. But evetually she may reach a point where she can't take it, and sees violence as her only recourse.


This is such a reach it almost doesn't justify a reply. Almost.

Do you really think these women thought "this guy, and guys like him, have been repressing us for far too long, and we must show that we'll no longer accept the oppression created by the patriarchal nature of our society"? I'm betting no. More likely they were angry and hurt and just sociopathic enough to think their behavior was somehow justified by his infidelity. They committed a sex crime, and they should pay the price just as any man who did something similar.

It's bizarre to me that our society can condemn things like female circumcision (and rightfully so), yet when a man experiences something similar we're treated to an attempt at portraying what they've done as some defense of women's rights.

These specific women? Probably not. At least not consciously. Your analysis could be spot on.

I think the reactions by some people to the OP bear some of my original observations out - not necessarily the motivation of the attackers, but the greater observation. If the responses in this thread (save yours and I think a couple of others) were an indication of men in society, they imply that perhaps the only way to get some men to keep it in their pants is to get violent, because they respond well to that. It's a weird reinforcement, and I think to a degree is the concern JD expressed.

On the other hand - perhaps the posters who reacted with "man, don't cheat" just post that because they feel the need to respond positively to violence, because real men settle things with violence. That's not surprising to me - gender stereotypes and roles can screw with men too.

I re-read my original comment and can see how it reads like I'm defending the actions of the women. I'm not. I'm just commenting on a state of affairs where women (consciously or not) think violence is the way to get their point across, and men seem to apparently, to a degree, agree. The way my mind works - I want to understand WHY that is, 'cause I think that's how it gets addressed. YMMV.
