Why does it seem that it is almost acceptable, even rather comical when women inflict such actions upon men, yet if men were to do such things they would be angrily condemned by the female of the species?

Who says it is almost acceptable?

It's not.
AOG

\\\\Why does it seem that it is almost acceptable, even rather comical when women inflict such actions upon men,\\\\

Yes, i know what you mean, women do tend to be more "excitable" in the response to ...infidelity and yes the usual response is, from the female, society that "Good, he got what he deserved." Whereas the response of a male to female "infidelity" is perhaps.........more measured.

I suppose it is in the female genes, somewhere.
Errrrm....I think men are just a vengeful! A scorned person is a scorned person and both can act in a equally vengeful manner.
Do I get a prize for being the first person to hum "Great Balls of Fire" ?


[ but no, it's not acceptable or indeed comical - she should be behind bars for some considerable time ]
It isn't acceptable and I'm unsure where you've got that impression from.

As far as comical goes, I confess to a childish smirk when I saw the shape the flames took.
It is simply due to prejudice.
My ex heated up a mixture of dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, sugar, vinegar...and other stuff...and tipped it in my face while I was sleeping.

My crime was not wanting to get back with him.

He wasn't violent and it was completely out of character....but like I said...a person scorned...
aog, i find myself agreeing with you - the article gives the impression that what she did is in some way comical. Maybe that is down to poor journalism though, as the comments at the bottom certainly don't give the impression that other people thing it's funny
I agree, it's the reporter giving a comical slant to the story, which certainly isn't funny.
EcclesCake, would you have given that same "childish smirk" if that had been done to a woman? I guess not!

and that is why aog, suggests that it is "almost acceptable" people often find it funny when it is a man, not so funny if it was a woman. And if this video was of a Woman getting her genitals set on fire it most likely would have never been aired!
Ratter, I was amused by the shape the flames formed, nothing more.

It was a cruel and despicable act.

There's something fishy here ....... (yeah OK)

Nail polish remover is icy cold to the touch, as it evaporates at a low temperature.
Must we seriously believe this man was so out of it that he didn't feel his particles being kinda frozen? a chilly thingy?
Or heaven forfend could it be yet another attention-seeking setup to add to the legions of same on t'interweb.
One need not be on this Earth long before realising the female of the species gets more sympathy/leniency. Surely AOG you noticed this pre-school or primary at latest ? I think part of it is the idea that the male has to be tough and take it all without being a wimp, whilst the female are seen as the gentle weaker sex and in need of protection/understanding, regardless of reality. This converts to treating each differently by the majority of society.
I'm not sure which is the more horrible aspect of this story - the fact that this woman behaved like this, or the fact that she filmed it, or the fact that the film has been picked up and spread around the internet, or the fact that a 'respectable' national paper felt the need to report it, or that fact that the reporter from the 'respectable' national paper thought it was something to snigger about in print.

The whole thing is indicative about how our society approaches subjects for social media, reflected by the paper's attitude that this is really rather amusing, when patently it is not.
There was the guy who superglued his wife's genitalia in South Africa earlier this year for cheating.

Usually, men hit back with burning clothes or revenge porn from what I've read.
i saw this earlier and couldn't watch then, its horrific. i hope the woman was arrested and has been charged
If a man had done exactly the same to a woman in the same circumstances I am pretty sure he would have ended up in jail for GBH with intent!. I hope the woman has been charged as well.
Revenge is sick, nasty and pointless from anyone - have never found it comical and definitely not acceptable.
Indeed.

I think that the Editor of the Mail, which positions itself as a 'family paper' should be thoroughly ashamed of himself for stooping to the sub-Red Top lads-together sniggering, it is a disgrace.

I think you have summed matters up pretty well OG.

But how is it that it is always the female of the species who demands equality?
