Daymn Woman rips off mans scrotum

Talk about a ball buster.

An Indiana man was rushed to the hospital Wednesday after his scrotum was the victim of a vicious attack by an ex-girlfriend, The Smoking Gun reports.

The victim told police that his former girlfriend, Christina Reber, stormed into his apartment as he was innocently sitting at his computer. Reber, who he had severed ties with a few days earlier, first struck him on the head and then grabbed his scrotum and began “squeezing as hard as she could.” Naturally, he told officers that he “was in incredible pain when [she] grabbed his scrotum and began digging in her fingers.”

You could tell the writer was enjoying himself. I was wondering about her motives though. Nothing like that sense of righteous injury to get you to slide right off the edge.

Compare and contrast with "I have no time for anger" elsewhere today.

I guess because men are seen as the more powerful sex, people take it less seriously when they get hurt or violated.

Put it this way. I'm Black & this is a country set up for Whites.
Yet I don't celebrate when White folks have been unjustly hurt, maimed, or violated.
Despite Black people's history in this country at the hands of White people I don't make jokes when unjust acts happen to them.

There is nothing that warranted this malicious response from this woman.
She did that out of pure hateful spite.
I don't even care if he cheated on her or made babies with another woman while in this relationship.
That happens you cuss him out, at worst give him a slap on the face (also not justifiable).
But you don't do this.

I hope she gets the maximum sentence for pulling a stunt like this.
I have no sympathy for those who think they can mutilate somebody & feel they were justified to do so.
What drove her to it? Pure evil, that's what.
Don't make excuses for her just because she's a woman. That would fly in the face of equality.

You are insinuating that this man was an abuser, and therefore "deserved" getting his scrotum ripped off.

There is absolutely nothing in the story that suggests the man was an abuser. You just assume that he was an abuser, as if that somehow justified her actions.

Could we then apply the same logic to a man who beats up his wife/girlfriend? "I wonder what she did to make him that angry, must have been something"

Of course not, but that doesn't seem to matter.

Also curious why you automatically assume that he must have been abusive. The article states that he had broken off the relationship a few days previous. There are plenty of people - male and female alike - who don't take kindly to being dumped, and turn to violence to gain revenge.

Some people here might remember a story from 20 or so years ago when a man placed a submachine gun in a woman's vagina and pulled the trigger. She survived the attack but was stabbed to death a year or two later . Couldn't find a link because the story is so old, but I remember it being big news.

I doubt we'd see many jokes if that kind of thing happened again.

It's not funny when someone is mutilated like that.
No worse than when acid is poured on a woman's face, when someone cuts off some woman's breast, or when some freak chops off some woman's nose.

There is nothing justifiable about violating someone's body like that.
It's pure evil & malice to want to do something like this.
This could interfere with his ability to have children, to even have a sex life.

It's not cool when it happens to women, it's not cool when it happens to men, it's not cool when it happens to girls, it's not cool when it happens to boys, it's just not cool...PERIOD.
