Life term for wife who severed husband's penis

Goodness me. Would she have got life for a hand or an eye I wonder?
I think TBH I have ambivalent feelings about these cases. A voice in my head says that some men deserve no less (I don't know whether this one did or not). The penis is used as a weapon against women in individual crimes, and in war.
But of course this is not the civilised response hmm Two wrongs do not make a right.
Meanwhile back in the UK it is thought that there are large numbers of genital mutilations of girls going on, and not a prosecution in sight.
And if, by some miracle, a doctor got done for fgm, would they get life?

Jess Didn't you know? Nobody hardly anybody actually reads threads!

JessM Sun 30-Jun-13 22:02:16

There I was thinking it was a subject with feminist and ethical issues that were worth exploring. That'll teach me to raise an issue with intellectual challenge.
Did you ever read my soul-searching OP nonu ?

Nonu Sun 30-Jun-13 21:09:24

Okay. Lets do it , who is up for it ????

j08 Sun 30-Jun-13 20:49:16

Nonu - the 'why's and wherefor's' of so doing, perhaps? hmm

Another potentially interesting thread that has degenerated into total rubbish. Seems to be a lot of that recently.

j08 Sun 30-Jun-13 14:47:25

Do we really want to be like the dreadful Grannynet?

Nelliemoser Sun 30-Jun-13 12:30:11

When I saw that tennis ball icon I just thought it was a way of implying that someones previous comments were just a load of balls! Oh dear I am clearly not with it right now.
As if GNHQ would promote that sort of rude response. grin

glammanana Sun 30-Jun-13 12:29:32

I nearly always enjoy reading your posts and most of the time "get" your humour j08 but feel you have let the side down to-day,even though we think these things this is not the place to put in to words,anyway the husband concerned would not be in that position now would he.
