So I came upon an article last week that a few of my readers may have also seen/read/heard about. A wife, angry with her husband, cuts off his penis and puts it down the garbage disposal. Cut it off. And Put it down. A garbage disposal.

Now we(and by ‘we’ I mean people who are twenty years or older) are all familiar with the Lorena Bobbit incident of the early 1990’s, in which she cut off half his penis and threw it into a field… Now, that situation was a little bit different, as John Bobbit allegedly abused her physically, emotionally, and verbally, which caused her to ‘snap.’
However, this situation was not that situation. As far as I’m concerned, this situation was another example of a woman crossing that line.
You women know what line I’m talking about. Heck, even some you men know what line I’m talking about. That line when one person in a relationship overreacts(for lack of a better term) to something that the other person did. In this case, the couple were going through a divorce… I guess half of everything just wasn’t enough??
The overreaction finger commonly points toward women(sorry ladies) because out of the two genders they cross that line the most frequently. They are habitual line steppers. broken car windows? a vengeful woman. Keyed up car? A vengeful woman. Arson?Stabbing? Mutilated Genitalia? The list goes on.
Don’t get me wrong, Men aren’t exempt from this kind of activity. I remember one story in particular in which a distraught ex boyfriend decided he would drive his car into the side of his ex girlfriend’s apartment building. Not only did he not get the right building(he was a bit inebriated at the time) he ended up pinning an innocent couple underneath his car after it came through their window. Luckily, they made it out the situation unharmed.
But the underlying question to all of this is WHY? I really would like to know what goes through a person’s mind when they decide that the only way to repair their feelings is to cause harm to the other person’s things/self. They cheated on you? broke your heart? left you for another person? Write an “I hate you” Note, listen to depressing and/or angry music and eat sweets like everybody else until you can get over the ordeal.
I say this to the women especially because 1.) you guys don’t seem to know when to stop and 2) Guys these days are considerable less chivalrous/patient then they were in yesteryear.
All the reckless talk, the “F**k you’s” and “You ain’t S**t” Speeches don’t help your chances of not catching some kind of backlash, verbal or otherwise from all the anger provoking words you spew. Now I’m not saying a woman deserves to get smacked up for getting verbally and/or physically abusive with their man but I am saying that if she expects to just be talked out putting that knife down then she should be expecting wrong.
At the end of the day, this post just goes to further the quote “Communication is key to any healthy relationship.” My whole thing with relationships now is that if what I say to you is interpreted an entirely different way by you then that’s already a sign that we can’t be together, I can’t have you slashing my tires just because of something you thought you heard me say, No No No. I think if couples on a whole just learned to communicate more effectively and honestly, like for example :”Fyi, I will tie you to a bed and slice your penis off if you try me” then maybe we would read less and less stories of things like that actually happening.
