This story has been in the news lately: four women ambushed a cheating husband, punched him in the face and glued his private parts to his belly. One of the women was his estranged wife and another was a married woman he had had an affair with.
What bothers me about this story, in addition to the obvious, is how it contrasts with the stereotypical domestic violence situation, which is no laughing matter. If the genders were reversed and four men had glued the genitals of a cheating wife they would not be free on $200 bail right now and 57% of New York Daily News readers polled would not be cheering.
This is news because of the unusual details. What should be news is our reaction to it.

Let this serve as a lesson to men everywhere: if you're not whipped, you'll get glued.
