I'm certain there's an Sarkeesian and Patriarchy joke waiting to happen in there somewhere...

BlueMooner: There seem to be more and more stories of females who feel justified, for whatever reason, in cutting off their man's penis.
WHAT?

The Patriarchy made her do it.
Wow...that's rough. Altough, xbox 360 games? What a loss... (J/k). :P

Another good remark about this is another reason to go digital and avoiding account sharing. :)

If it happened to me I would be in shock but I would certainly look up if I could take any legal action before doing anything drastic. Also, revenge never goes well when doing it emotionally.

That's why I'm moving to digital.

Ugh... what a horrible story.
The idea of subscribing does not sound so bad now, does it? :-P

Just kidding!
Ouch, that sucks. It is important to have balance in a relationship. If one gets so angry to reach that point when he/she can't control what the other can do, then this relationship might not have been the best. And I doubt that going digital would help too much. Accounts can always be deleted, or at the very least, passwords can be changed.

BlueMooner: mayhem
Now there's a charge you don't see every day. Though I guess it never really does go out of style, does it?

As I said, this isn't an isolated incident. It's not everyday by any means, but it's not unique either. Sexual mutilation is a horrible crime and it's horrible some women think they're justified with this response. Perhaps even worse is women who praise such actions.

The issue at heart IMO with any kind of destruction is about immaturity and self-esteem. There's the view that your partner somehow "got one over" on you, you've lost face, and a destructive response, be it mutilation or destroying game CDs is not only good but necessary. There's a country song that's been popular here for some time, perhaps some of the foreigners may know it also:

Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats

I've always thought this was a horrible song that glorifies overreaction, immaturity, and ignorance. She sings about trashing her man's truck because he MIGHT be cheating on her. Maybe. It's part of the Jerry Springer syndrome: screw communication, diplomacy or understanding, throw something11!!!
I say lawsuit. Or failing that, break something that's valuable to her. Either way, justice is served.
You guys don't know what happened. He said: "I am going to sell all of this to buy an Xbox One." She had no choice.

Hahahaha! Then she did it for his own good to prevent his disappointment down the road! :P
