I don't remember much of it except that it shows a graphic physical abuse scene (I think the husband smashes his wife's head into a mirror or something). And the ending is a happy ending, even though I heard that in real life the woman ended up serving time in jail for what she did.

Yes! I was too young to watch it when it came out but I'm sure it woke everyone up to domestic violence. The book is even better.

And the ending is a happy ending, even though I heard that in real life the woman ended up serving time in jail for what she did.Perhaps this wasn't necessary, but she did do an extreme act\deed, regardless of her husband being an abusive scumbag. Murder is still serious, and other options would have been available and open to her, regardless of what feminists and SJW's may tell us. What options? She couldn't have had him arrested because the law in Michigan at the time stated that a cop had to witness the abuse personally for an arrest to be made. Or in other words, it was perfectly legal for a man to assault his wife.

Her situation is what helped change police policies regarding domestic violence. Police were called to the home, they left because unless he hit her in front of them, they could do absolutely nothing. There was no restraining orders available either.

Yet she performed the ultimate act of domestic violence and she gets championed for it? Well she wasn't championed for it. What it showed was something had to be done in the domestic violence policies to prevent someone resorting to what she did. It's nothing like today where there are options-not that any of it helps in all situations). It basically was kill or be killed.

It's nothing like today where there are options-not that any of it helps in all situations). It basically was kill or be killed. She got biased and misguided pity. This was an extreme case, and involved extreme behaviors from both sides within the domestic situation. Things would have changed regardless, without her burning a bed with her husband in it. Why she got with that loser in the first place, only endorses how shortsighted and naive many women can be regarding men. This was on her own onus. Your sig line is pretty humorous considering your responses here--sounds more like your heart is made of wood as well as your head. You clearly know nothing of the situations in which women become involved with abusive men (who generally don't behave in such an extreme manner early in the relationship; it's only after the woman is effectively entrapped that the abuser feels safe in giving full vent to his behaviour). Why not try reading up a bit on this topic, or, better yet, go do some hands-on volunteer work with women's shelters before you speak with the level of authority you do here? It's neither humane nor well-advised.

It's neither humane nor well-advised. Spoken like a true victim. Other peoples shortsighted relationship issues and choices are neither my care nor concern. Spoken like a true case of psychopathy which knows no connection with normal human traits such as empathy. Here's hoping you're involved in no relationships--if so, I have pity for your partner. I won't say I harbor no 'care or concern' for your state, as psychopaths are perforce the care and concern of everyone around them, if only for the damage wrought by their mental short circuiting, be that damage inadvertent or otherwise.

I think what you perhaps need look at, is you own level of projection, phony sense of concern and narcissism. I really get that you care. Having been through an abusive relationship, I'd suggest you'd better know I care. And speaking of narcissism: that's a quality more properly associated with psychopathy, and since you've pointed out--in fact boasted of--your complete lack of empathy, a classic trait of the psychopathic personality, it would appear the 'narcissist' label can be more properly claimed by yourself in this exchange. No one can cure you of smug stupidity, but perhaps you can at least be prompted to enough self-awareness to know that you're apt to be shot down for it when you insist upon putting it up for public display .

You appear to have passive aggressive, self-entitled and self-centered tendencies. Your care just radiates from your every post and pore. More from your misfired shots. I wonder who was the abusive one in the relationship. Oh that's right, it's always the man's fault. A double dose of Your last quote is classic, spoken just like a true abuser (no doubt, in your little world, you're always the victim of teh evil wimmins). As I said above, if you have a partner, they have my sympathy, and I hope they get away from you in time. More likely you don't, as your utter lack of human feeling probably repels one and all before they make the mistake of getting too close. Let's hope you don't own any pets, either.

I guess better luck next time in your relationship choices, and perhaps next time, you might learn how to treat a man nicely. Is it worth holding my breath though?`
Since you aren't a man, obviously not.

She should have just cut off the fucker's penis while he was sleeping.

Sometimes, kids being told that they are special, when they're not, leads to feeling entitled when they grow up. That is if they haven't grown up. You mean like what evidently happened to you in your ongoing childhood, Toastie? Abusers often do have the fallback of childhood experiences to drag out as their first line of defense...

I am not the one playing victim and feeling entitled to have others agree with me, when they don't like what they are hearing. Take responsibility for your own choices and stop being so aloof and passive aggressive because you think that somebody should be on your side, because of whatever experiences you have endured. I don't give approval, nor do I play the pity game because of somebody else's shortsightedness and naivety regarding the dropkick men they choose to get with. Chalk it up to experience sweetheart and move on! You arrived on this thread boasting about your complete lack of empathy for others. You got a response. You didn't like the response. You've decided to back-and-forth with me about the response ever since. Looks like you get your own panties a bit bunched whenever you meet up with disagreement yourself. Ah well. Deal with it. And if you're the best character witness for the male gender the defense can come up with, the defense best give it up and throw itself on the mercy of the court. Fortunately, I don't consider an immature twunt such as yourself to be any sort of spokesman for the male gender, and I suspect the preponderance of males would agree with me on that .

Strawman example. There have always been psychos, male and female, who perpetrated heinous physical attacks on their SO over jealousy and 'honor'. There always will be. The woman in this instance wasn't an abuse victim (as most of the males who commit these types of attacks weren't, either), and she has been jailed for life. Try to pick an example a little more pertinent to the topic at hand, if you think you can get over your female-hatred sufficiently to manage it.

Actually, Lorena did the loser something of a favor by her act, insofar as said loser got his fifteen minutes of unearned fame and probably a hefty amount of payola for displaying himself as the freak show du jour for the brief amount of time the public cared who he was. Lorena has maintained a low profile ever since the incident, and certainly never appeared to profit from it or exploit it for personal gain the way her lowlife ex did. John BobbittAfter the incident, John attempted to generate money from his renown by forming a band, The Severed Parts, to pay his mounting medical and legal bills, although the band was unsuccessful and failed to generate enough money. In September 1994, he appeared in the adult film John Wayne Bobbitt: Uncut, in another attempt to make money.In 1996, he appeared in another adult film, Frankenpenis (also known as John Wayne Bobbitt's Frankenpenis).In 1994, he was charged with striking Kristina Elliott, a 21-year-old former exotic dancer he met while in Las Vegas on a publicity tour. On August 31, 1994, he was convicted of battery and sentenced to 15 days in jail (75 percent of the original 60-day sentence was suspended). "I firmly believe you have an attitude problem," Justice of the Peace William Jansen told Bobbitt. "Your attitude problem is caused by your drinking."On August 10, 1998,he appeared on the World Wrestling Federation's Monday Night Raw television program, where he was featured with Val Venis.Not long after, he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he worked as a bartender, limo driver, mover, pizza delivery driver, and tow-truck operator. He also had a stint serving at a wedding chapel as a minister of a Universal Life Church there.In 1999, Bobbitt received probation for his role in a theft at a store in Nevada. In 2003, he was sentenced to prison for violating his probation for the 1999 theft, after he was arrested on battery charges involving his then-wife, Joanna Ferrell. He was again twice arrested on charges of battery against Ferrell in 2004, and that same year, he filed for divorce under the name John W. Ferrell, which he had been using during his marriage with Ferrell.In 2014, he was severely injured when he broke his neck in a vehicular accident in Buffalo, New York.Keep championing those proven winners, Toastie.
