NICK - 30 Dec 2006 03:05 GMT N.C. Woman Accused of Grabbing Man's 38-Year-Old Genitals During Fight at a Christmas Party December 29, 2006 15:04
LILLINGTON, N.C. -- A woman attacked a man in his genitals during a Christmas party, injuring him badly enough that he needed 50 stitches, authorities said Friday. Rebecca Arnold Dawson, 34, was charged with malicious castration in a fight early Tuesday at a party hosted by the 38-year-old man's girlfriend, police said.
All three were heavily intoxicated, police Chief Frank Powers said.
Dawson is accused of grabbing the man's genitals. Police said a weapon was not used. He declined to elaborate.
"I believe he needed more than 50 stitches to repair the damage, but he is back home at this point," police Cpl. Brad Stevens said. "All we can tell you is that the injury was done with her hands."
Dawson does not have a listed phone number.
State law describes malicious castration as cutting off, maiming or disfiguring a person's genitals with the intent to hurt or render the victim impotent.
Dawson, who was released Wednesday on $50,000 bond, also was charged with offenses including assault causing serious bodily injury.
The castration arrest was the first of its kind in Lillington, a town of about 3,000 roughly 30 miles south of Raleigh, Powers said.

So why do rapists get off on less charges? There is still a double standard in our still mostly male system. Bev

Wait until the dust settles and the case is properly adjudicated in court before raising the double standard claim.
Police and prosecutors typically will charge according to the initial reports and then allow any mitigating or aggravating factors which subsequently become evident to guide the course of the case through the courts.
Not saying that rapists are properly punished in all cases but what would you say of this case if the end result was that Dawson winds up pleading to a lesser offense? Would it be a double standard? Would it make a difference if subsequent investigation made it clear that her "victim" precipitated the assault by attempting to insert a champagne flute up her, ah, er, privates?
Point is, you can't Monday morning quarterback these things until Monday morning - if then! It's only Thursday in this case<g>

Beverley - 02 Jan 2007 01:32 GMT I can tell you of several recent cases in our local newspaper. One was run right before Xmas and the court dismissed charges but for weeks leading up to the court case they made it out that this guy was a monster. The guy was being held for repetitive sexual assault and rape of a minor starting when the girl was 13 which apparently continued for years. Sounds like a really bad guy, right? Now the girl is something like seventeen and pregnant as a result of this continued assault. The guy is 21. That means this started when he was 16 and she was 13. All the young girl wants to do is marry him and somebody in her family decided to put an end to their relationship. Okay I agree they should not have been messing around but I wouldn't call that rape either.
(I also have a 19 yo step-grandson who is about to be a father in Feb. So yes, that will make me a step-great-grandmother and it will make my 32 yo daughter a grandmother LOL but all joking aside his girlfriend, excuse me, his fiancée is only 16. I call that stupidity especially when my daughter took her to get the pill so that she didn't get pregnant when my daughter found out they were "involved" but the kid can't remember to take her pill? How the heck is she going to be a mother?)
(BTW, I was 17 when I met my husband. He was 24. I was working full time, living on my own, and in my first year at a local college. OMG, he was handsome, sexy, intelligent, and he already served his country. He had a tight little a.s, broad shoulders, and the muscles that would make any female swoon. And he could kiss! Okay that's enough information but it's not rape!)
There was a case this past summer of a husband and wife arguing in the street (okay, sane married people do not stand in the street and argue/fight) for quite a while. He threatened her (somehow) and she ripped his balls off. She's been sent away for about 20 years over it.
Yet another guy (in his early 30's) got nailed for indecent liberties and sodomy with two minors (I can't remember the boys ages exactly their ages but I'll say they were 8 & 10 or maybe they were 7 & 8) He got about 12 years.
Then we've got another one that just went through the courts here and he was charged with rape and sexual assault of a minor (she's something like 10) and he's a known predator and they gave him about a 12 yr sentence.
Actually I think Maria Bobbit got shafted big time. Her mistake was she should have run it through the garbage disposal. Time proved her right but the courts destroyed her.
Yes, every case needs to be studied carefully. Most of the time they do plead to a lesser offense. And if you really want to get into it, I can point out lots of inequities that seem to be almost constant. Bev

I.P. Freely - 02 Jan 2007 01:55 GMT Man rapes and beats a girl constantly for four years beginning at age 6. Vermont judge gives the rapist 60 days in jail because he doesn't believe in punishing criminals. Vermont backs up the judge. Even after one man made it his personal project to raise hell worldwide, the sentence was extended only to three years, not the slow dismemberment the rapist deserved. Worse yet, a significant minority of our country backs up the judge's point of view.
I.P.
Beverley - 03 Jan 2007 03:08 GMT I'm beginning to think that the significant minority is becoming a rapidly growing majority. And that those who know better refuse to stand up - which is how Hitler gained power. Bev

OMG, he was > handsome, sexy, intelligent, and he already served his country. There's nothing sexier than a man in uniform. My favorite family photo is of Ted's grandpa in his doughboy uniform. He was shipped out to France but thankfully didn't see much more than the Eiffel Tower. [(BTW, there is a hilarious movie starring Eddie Bracken called "Hail the Conquering Hero" (4 1/2 stars) that was made partly as propaganda during WWII. In the movie, the guy is too scrawny and is rejected by the army and he is so ashamed he doesn't want to show his face in society . . . and worst of all he can't get a girl! So in desperation he goes into the attic and dusts off his grandpa's WWI uniform and goes on a date wearing it and the result is ROFL funny)]

I hesitate to say the following because the blue ribbons will complain that I am treating men like so many pieces of meat but there is a serious purpose in it.
The other day I was looking at the website of one of the pca orgs and saw that one of its sponsors is a company called 2(x)ist. They make "cutting edge" underwear for men according to their website (hope they don't mean that literally).
I had found out about this brand because around the time of J's surgery I was in Filene's shopping for undies for him and I came upon these "boxer briefs" and I thought they might work for him. I love regular boxer shorts bec. dear old dad wore them but spouse won't put them on so I thought this was a suitable compromise. He thought they were comfy and they looked really good. They were more expensive than fruit-of-the-loom or hanes but they were of a much better quality.
Anyway, I am just bowled over by the thought that you can support pca research just by wearing underwear!! That brand, of course. I followed the link to the company's website and watched a "fashion show" of their "collection" and I must tell you that I am not into this sort of thing at all but I had never before seen such a display of male pulchritude. Abs, gluts, pecs, lats, biceps, triceps, hamstrings, you name it. My temp. shot up to around 108. And the underwear was great-looking too.
I once read that you can give a man a "heterosexuality test" by placing a Victoria's Secret catalog in front of him and seeing how he reacts. (J. failed miserably; he wouldn't put down the Economist). Anyway if you are a lady and want to test your heterosexuality (or a man who wants to test your homosexuality) take a tour of 2exist.com. You will end up wondering why they call women the fair sex -- I think they got it a-- backwards.
Seriously, I would encourage men to buy 2xist underwear because when you do so you are contributing to the cause. I know I will stock up.
On another topic: Of course there is always a double standard when it comes to women. When Mary and I had a little tiff (once) it was called a "feral" catfight. But IP and SJ lock horns regularly and nobody seems bothered by it. I guess co-kfights are allowed here and maybe we should sell tickets and give the proceeds to charity.
Hugs,
Leah

Thank you so much for the correction. Enjoy the tour! (And ladies, this is your "Victoria's Secret" :-))
> I think it's this one: > > http://www.2xist.com/ > > --charlie Beverley - 03 Jan 2007 03:03 GMT Okay, I just had to check it out. LOL I think I'm getting old. Those boys are younger than my daughters. Which bring to mind the fact that many years ago I had a friend who was having her birthday and several of her friends decided they were taking her "out" and I didn't want to go because this place was the equivalent to a "gentlemen's club" but for the ladies. Of course I get harassed for being a party-pooper, etc, so I give in and say that I'm going. So the night before we are to go I run into another friend's son in the mall. Now this friend is very deeply religious and very active in her church. The kind of person that three children's photos on her refrigerator of children that they have adopted in foreign countries through their church's missionary program. Needless to say her kids were brats - kind of like the normal PK's (preacher's kids). Her oldest son goes off to college and this is the boy, ahem, young man that I ran into in the mall. So I naturally ask him what he's doing these days. He tells me he's dancing at this club. OMG! I've changed this boy's diapers do you think I want to go watch HIM dance????????? Long story short, I went. My friend's son did not dance that night. I thought I'd die the entire night. I swear that two of the guys were gay, the other's didn't look old enough to even be 21 (state law). The guys all had oiled their bodies (I could actually smell the olive oil on the "Italian Stallion" who was about as Italian as Joe Smith) and the flashing lights did nothing but drive me nuts because I can't handle the strobe stuff. And I'm watching a bunch of female friends get all excited about giving dollar bills to these guys so that they would wiggle their covered parts. The drinks are about $10 a piece and half of us have to drive home so I didn't dare drink more than one because I don't want a DUI and who can afford to drink at those prices? And I'm thinking we could have all stayed home and had our husbands give us private shows and gotten a whole lot more out of it and it wouldn't have a cost a penny. I'm a party pooper! Bev (I don't want to see a bunch of kids I want to see a man with a little gray hair. LOL I like that sexy guy that did the cholesterol Rx commercial that belly flopped in the pool - was that you in the commercial IP?)

In real life you couldn't drag me to a place like that. I don't think I've ever been on an "adult" website. You know, I 've read that men are more into the '"visual" stuff.

Maybe he majored in Human Sexuality. I took one of those courses in college and all I remember is them putting a condom on a cucumber. I took that course pass/fail because I was worried that I might flunk.

The guys all had > oiled their bodies (I could actually smell the olive oil on the "Italian > Stallion" who was about as Italian as Joe Smith) I feel for you. You know I went back to the 2xist site bec. I was curious about their connection to pca. I looked a bit more closely. A lot of their models look like they've been dunked in a vat of oil, are anorexic and have a tree trunk stuck in their pants -- I mean in their trunks. So this fashion show is not for everybody. (My husband's pet peeve is seeing calvin klein underwear billboards everywhere; he thinks they're obscene.) And I don't want to encourage men to copy that look. But this company also makes plain-vanilla briefs, 3 for $10, which JJ buys, and I'm happy to support pca-friendly companies.

Beverley - 03 Jan 2007 21:38 GMT That tree trunk look in their briefs is because they often wear cups. Cups smooth out the natural "curves" yet tends to add dimension which provides that huge "lump". It's about the same as a female wearing tape to lift and add cleavage AND they wear tape over their nipples to prevent the little points. (It also hides the difference in color in the more see-thru bras) So obviously someone decided that seeing true anatomical features was not what the public wanted.
Seriously, they are not going to do an underwear shoot of a guy with an erection and somehow that little flaccid curved lump does nothing to show off those briefs in the best possible light. In fact, that natural curve and the normal "wad" that hangs below would play havoc with shadows if they photograph a natural male. So the guys wear cups. They used to be sturdy foam things but I think today some are wearing something a little less concealing. They may have even gone to moleskin which is what many female models used to use for bra shoots.
Damn, I know I just took all the fun out of it. LOL
Oh, and the other thing that has now become to popular is to have the men wax their body of all hair to show off those pecs, abs, etc. Okay, maybe if they are Olympic swimmers and the hair actually slows down their movement through the water they should consider removing it. (Or maybe if they model underwear) But give me a break, aside from a few men that have so much hair that it hangs in little tuffs over their shoulders, covers their back and buttocks in a thick mass, most men have a normal amount of hair. It's part of the natural passage into manhood. Most women appreciate a little hair on their men.

It's daft.
The last (and only) time I shaved was a leg on my wedding day. My bridesmaids needed to get into the bathroom and then it was time for me to leave so I never finished the job.
Do you know? No-one looked at my legs! And nothing shows on the photographs.

Are you a costumer, fashion photographer or maybe's George is a model??
> Oh, and the other thing that has now become to popular is to have the men > wax their body of all hair to show off those pecs, abs, etc. Okay, maybe if > they are Olympic swimmers and the hair actually slows down their movement > through the water they should consider removing it. Bev, that's what we in NY call "metrosexuals". That means men who are basically straight but get facials and have themselves tweezed, waxed and botoxed. And their numbers are growing . .. You know, it's funny but we had a 15-yr. old French student stay with us for a summer and it was amusing to see that he arrived with this little "suitcase" of "L'Oreal for Men" products. Not just shampoo and body lotion, but face creams and all that (and he was straight). It upset me when J. and I were married, I wanted him to try an old BF's cologne, and he said he wasn't going to where any perfume. No way.
One more thing. I have a friend who likes motorcycles and we heard there was going to be an exhibit of Vintage Harley's in Bloomingdales. First, I had never heard of anything like that before in a dep't store, but I was even more surprised when we arrived to see that the display was set up right in the middle of the "fragrances" dep't?? You know, I would have expected it to be in Sports or Men's Underwear.
As it turned out, the collector of the Harleys (name: Kook or something) turned out to be in the perfume business and they were trying to push a line of "men's" fragrances and cosmetics.
But give me a break, aside from a few men that have so much hair that it hangs in little tuffs over their shoulders, covers their back and buttocks in a thick mass, most men have a normal amount of hair. It's part of the natural passage into manhood.
Yes, a smathering of hair on the chest is nice. But I don't care for the "ape" look. (A lot of men, BTW, are getting their unwanted body hair "lasered off".)
Most women appreciate a little hair on their men.
> :-) > Bev I should say so! Especially if it's on their head! J. has hair like a lush tropical rain forest. You could get your fingers lost in there... But that might not be so bad.
And btw, you didn't tell me which drug comm'l that cute, "mature" man was in -- the one flopping into the pool. Bev, there are scores of cholesterol drugs...
best,
leah
Beverley - 05 Jan 2007 05:36 GMT I did, once upon a time, have first hand knowledge of the fashion industry at 5'9", 103 pounds, with 32DD's I was prime for NY until I was told to remove my back molars to create that sunken look. I had modeled for some local stores since I was very little. I was very athletic (swim team, surfer, life guard, ran track for the fun of it and played field hockey and tennis). I was also more interested in getting an education then being on the cover of a magazine. I also decided it was a dog eat dog, back stabbing profession and I really wasn't that interested. Doing local stuff was one thing, doing the big stuff was another thing. I did a few runway shows in Philadelphia as a teen which was sort of fun and a few local Phila commercials. I was a good looking chick back then. LOL Now I look in the mirror and wonder who the old hag is.
Hubby usually smells of Polo, the one in the green bottle.
I don't remember which Rx it was but they also did the one with the skinny female "movie star" that fell on the red carpet and the two twin guys and the one would walk into a wall (or maybe it was a door). They were very popular about 3-5 years ago. Anyway this mature guy would walk out to the pool and ALL the women would drop their sunglasses to get a better look at him. OH YEAH!
JJ didn't go by the name of Hank way back when? I can't even remember Hank's last name but he had that soft thick black hair and a mustache that was smooth as silk. You just wanted to pet his forearms and chest. LOL That's back in the days when we'd sit around with a bottle of Bali hai (cheap wine) that we'd pour into a bowl and add fruit to it. (After we'd all had surfed until we couldn't surf any longer.) So we'd drink and play 21 until some weird hour in the morning.
I remember one summer night I had probably the most famous preacher's god-daughter with me because my mom thought I should be nicer to her and let her get to know my friends because she was lonely. She couldn't surf so she took off with a total stranger and I had to chase her down the beach and drag her back. Then she got ripping drunk and tumbled into bed with a very drunk male friend of mine and I had to go break up that almost fiasco. Nothing like barging in and saying excuse me but you can't have her and then try to figure out how to sober her up so I could deposit her on her doorstep. And why did I get appointed keeper of Linda's virginity when obviously Linda didn't give a damn about it? And I did get in trouble because her parents smelled the booze on her. I didn't pour it down her throat! And Crow, if you are lurking and I hope you are not because that means you've joined this club, email me because we have 36 years to catch up. Bev

But I also wanted to let you know that 2xist also makes "plain vanilla" briefs which my husband buys, 3/$10, and I think it's important to support pca-friendly companies. Every little bit counts.
The 2xist website said that they team up with the Nat'l PC Coalition every year to sponsor "Underwear Day", in which people apparently parade around the streets of NY modeling their "collection". Anyway, they managed to screen 400 men for pc that day and that's what counts! I don't care how they did it.
It also said on the site that the underwear business generates about $3 billion dollars a year.
So do me a favor, y'all and go shopping:-).

Beverley - 03 Jan 2007 11:13 GMT Um, rapists tend to maim and often kill as result of their forced entry. (Their victims bleed to death. If they are lucky they get to live with the physical and emotional scars of what happened to them.) Bev
