Bobbiting or the act of severing a penis is too triavailsed in todays society, imho. It is an act that can lead to a lot of mental health issues and even suicide of the affected individual. Trivialisation of such a henious act can lead to an almost prevcieved acceptance of the act, and so more people feel it's okay to do. Leading to a higher prevalence of the act, especially among women since the lorena bobbit case. I hate that it is so acceptable. It shouldn't be. If I was severed in that way, I'd probably commit suicide so it shouldn't be a laughing matter, and the victim should be given support, not mocked, but most times, they are especially in the media.

They seem to always support or even applaud the perpetrator and mock and even ridicule the victim. Sometimes they even seem to laugh if the victim losses the limb (I mean in the sense of the way they write the article, i can tell by their language that they find this funny and have little empathy for the victim) this isn't funny in any sense. It can make someone lose their sense of identity and feel worthless.

There are so many cases of people having suicidal thoughts after such an event. Especially if they lose their appendage. Victims of this type of crime are made the butt of a joke, and that can make them feel worthless. I don't care what someone has done. This type of crime should be villainised. People should not feel this is an acceptable way to punish someone who has cheated on them. This line of thought will increase the acceptance of the crime. And will increase the prevalence of victims.

I honestly do not think society cares enough or even understands the weight of this crime. It is evident in the lack of harsh sentencing. This type of act has no female equivalent. So it should be looked at in isolation and be given a sentence not based on other precieved similar things. Because no precieved similar crimes come close to the extent of mental damage this crime does to a person. Nothing.

We need harsher sentencing for this crime to help deter people from doing it. Also, media outlets need to be punished for perpetuating the notion that this crime is acceptable and that the victims deserve it. No one deserves this type of crime unless they are very bad people. If someone cheats once, I'm sorry, but that does not warrant losing their penis. If a woman cheats, she can't lose anything like a penis or that would give her a similar degree of mental turmoil. A cheater can improve themselves. A person who does this likely is not capable of improving themselves if they think cheating warrants this type of crime.

I think many females can not fathom what losing a penis feels like. They don't have an equivalent appendage that can be so easily removed from them, so they can't understand the profound effect this type of crime can have on a man. Some men are also guilty of these sentiments, but I feel to a lesser extent than women. I'm not blaming women for this though, its hard to empathise and have compassion for something you can not understand. But there needs to be more emphasis placed on teaching people why this crime is so debilitating and mentally traumatic. I'm rather blaming society as a whole.

I feel that damaging someone's balls is also trivialised and made the butt of a cheap joke. I feel people don't care about damaging someone's testicles. But you can cause loss of one or both testicles. In some cases, the pain can cause death. It shouldn't be the butt of a joke it's boring, and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of people finding this funny. It isn't funny at all. People also shouldn't feel that hitting someone in that area is appropriate for small misdemeanours like offending someone or cheating. These acts can be addressed in a civil way. It should not be societally acceltable to potentially cause someone to become infertile just because their feelings got hurt. It's not societally acceptable to punch or kick someone in the vagina or boobs (which comparatively are more protected areas that don't have the same pain or degree of consequences if damaged/hit). So why is it acceptable to harm balls?

Apologies if this wasn't articulated in the best way. It has been on my mind for a while, and I wanted to get it off my chest. So, it may sound incoherent.
