I know this is long, and quite ... brutal, but I would really like to hear how women/mothers feel.
I was reading a collection of rather extreme crime cases, and one in particular caused me to think of the above question.
Two men and a woman (all armed) committed a home invasion. At the home were two women, the 7 year old daughter of one of the women, and a 43-year-old man who just so happened to be at the house while conducting a door-to-door survey. He was a total stranger to the women.
All four were stripped naked and tied to chairs.
The criminals then told the man that unless he cut off his own penis, the two male criminals would rape the little girl. The man refused. One of the men began molesting the little girl.
The criminals then told the mother that if she cut off the male captive's penis, they wouldn't rape the little girl. The woman agreed.
She was made to kneel at gunpoint in front of the bound man, and was first told to get him as erect as possible, and then to torture his penis with a cigarette lighter. After several minutes of this, she was given a box cutter, and told to cut off the man's penis, which she did. They retied the woman, and then the three criminals left, taking the man's penis with them. It was never found.
I'm sure this was a very difficult decision for the mother, but do you agree with me that she made the necessary decision in agreeing to cut off the man's penis?
Would you have made the same decision as her?
