Male Brutalization and Double Standards

You are bound to have heard these two stories lately. A California woman named Catherine Becker became enraged at her husband’s request for a divorce, so she cut off his penis and tossed it into the garbage disposal. In Russia, a woman allegedly Koed a robber, then kept him as a sex slave for three days. While there is dispute as to the truth of the latter, it does not matter for this discussion. What I want to talk about is the reaction from women and the double standard it demonstrates.

Both incidents, the former more than the latter, granted, have been cheered by woman as a sign of girl power. The women on The View, who have replaced Oprah as the source of feminist groupthink, lead the cherring section. Guest Sharon Osbourne sparked off peals of laughter among the audience by claiming Mr. Becker’s mutilation was funny because flaccid penises are small, floppy, and look funny while shredding in a garbage disposal. I suspect the appalling reaction to a man’s castration is motivated by the feminist “victory” in some small way over the patriarchy.

What if the roles were reversed? What if a woman wanted a divorce, so her enraged husband cut off her breasts or mutilated her genitals? How about if a man had overpowered a woman attempting to rob him, then held her prisoner for three days to forcibly rape her in revenge? There would be outrage, and rightly so. We are a callous society busting our rear ends to recreate the time of noah when every man did what was right in his own eyes, but we still have standards.

Now compound the hypothetical--can you imagine Howard Stern or Adam Carolla, comedians who routinely cross the line of good taste, mocked the wife’s brutal disfigurement as striking a blow for masculinity? After all, she is probably going to get half her husband’s stuff in the divorce even if she is found to be at fault in the marriage break up. How about if the two cheered on the forced rape? Rape is about power, not sex. The guy is just showing the woman who tried to rob him who is the boss, right?

There would be outrage on both counts. The outrage would be inarguably appropriate. But why is the reverse not the case? Why is it if a maim is maimed is such a manner or sexually violated, it is considered a notch in the win column for women and fine to laugh at/? There is enough of a prevailing notion male victimization is acceptable that the opportunity to put a counter argument in the public’s mind has passed by with nary a notice.

I should clarify the double standard applies only to straight men. If a gay man had his penis cut off or was held prisoner and raped for three days, there would be a national awareness campaign begun in there honor. Tracy Morgan and any other comedians mocking homosexuals would be torched in a large bonfire. Sam Kinison’s corpse might be dug up and reduced to ashes just for good measure.

I take the double standard which elevates women and gat men over straight men is evidence of the progressive origins of the mindset. Straight white men control everything, darn it. Including the Democratic Part, but who is counting? They must be punished! Poor progressive beta males go right along with being properly dominated by their ice queen feminist wives until they pop and wind up conning 22 year old interns into oral sex, sending photos of their penis on Twitter, or making rape jokes about Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. If you want to know the evil consequences of the feminist joy in robbing men of their masculinity, look at the behavior of the progressive men to whom they have done it.

A victim of crime is a victim of crime regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Inserting politics or the alleged battle of the sexes into it is disgusting. It is also ironic that the people most responsible for cheering on the violation of men are the outspoken advocates of hate crime legislation. If you want to know if the thought police calculable damage, look no further.
