You're a Packers Fan, Son ... Got It?

You tacitly endorse not only a position which posits the inferiority of the wife and mother to the husband and father, and that this inferiority is ingrained in women, but that this said inferiority should be violently impressed upon women. The notion of a woman standing up to her husband seems to really enrage you, hey? You have some problems I think you really need to address.

You couldn't be less correct if you tried, but meh, that's your problem. My mom was beaten almost to death by my "father" when I was a child. I saw him 3 times in my life and two of which involved him beating and/or strangling her with an iron cord, so, no I do not advocate violence of any kind towards women nor do I find them inferior or express such an opinion. Thankfully, this woman is not ALL women.

On topic: the kid was laughing. The wife obviously wanted a way out of the marriage and didn't have the guts to step up and ask for a divorce. Maybe she knew that she wouldn't get custody of her children and when this "opportunity" arose, she took pictures knowing full well that the photos could very easily be taken in a context which would favor her. (Of course, I admit, that is all conjecture on my part, but you get the idea.)

Furthermore, if the man is "violent" as suggested by your view of him, then she would have noticed this about him a long time ago: these things don't just appear out of nowhere. In fact, they usually start with verbal assaults of some type, yet, there is no history of any such event occurring, though the article doesn't offer much via background information.

Therefore, the wife would have been well aware that, (again, in your estimation of the husband) the husband could be capable of such an event, if not of doing something far worse.

That said, I fully admit that my comment regarding her clit removal was a bit much, but I cannot take it back, so... C'est la vie.

Prilj, now being just over a year later your view on this case has turned out to be correct (at least in large part). Rebecca Kowald did lie to the police. She did attempt to set Mr. Kowald up on a fake child abuse charge. She had previously lost placement of her children when trying to leave before. The battle for placement and the most important issue for her of child support is still raging. The biggest difference this time unlike the previous times she tried to screw him over is that when she loses the war I doubt she will be able to screw her way back into his house where the kids will be.
