Woman in France gets 18 month sentence for torturing boyfriend

[loinburger]

Grammar (spelling? vocabulary? whatever) nazi to the rescue: it's actually "bated breath," from "abate." "Baited breath" would imply that your breath smells like cheese and you're trying to get mice to crawl into your mouth or something along those lines, and that's kind of gross.

My bait is also bated then.

[rah]

I've made that mistake before. Thanks for the background, you nazi.

She didn't let him use the bathroom.

And still, what is your point? A woman did bad things... and got convicted of it. So?

If you are trying to make out that all woman are bad... Amnesty International has revealed that in France a women is killed by domestic violence at least every 4 days, and that 1 out of 10 women in France is a victim of domestic violence at some point in their lives. So men are far worse.

Either he's whining about half of the prison sentence getting suspended or this is just an opportunity to complain about women.

[rah]

Based on history I'd say the latter.

Since you admit to your bigotry I will not comment at length. But the fact that you think I'm inferior to women explains why you think this is about me saying all women are horrible.

The point is the slap on the wrist that she received.

Hmm, I wonder what that is in the US, I would have expected higher.

[Dauphin]

French men are clearly pansies. In the UK it is 2 deaths a week and 1 in 4 in their life. According to the stats. Which I am not sure I trust.

[loinburger]

You're inferior to the vast majority of people, male and female alike

[rah]

It always depends on the definitions. I worked on a survey for the government where they so broadened the definition of Sex Harassment that they were able to claim that almost everybody has been sexually harassed. But since their existence was created to handle the problem it would have been funny if the research said there wasn't really a problem.

Let me guess:
You have actually been living in France and this story is actually about you.

The court heard how Medkour stole Gaget's identity papers and credit cards, forced him to sleep on the floor near the front door and prevented him from accessing the toilet.

For over a year he suffered beatings, insults, she burned him with cigarettes or a white-hot knife, threw salt into his eyes and blocked his contact with the outside world.

Medkour told him that if he rebelled, she would accuse him of paedophilia.

18 months seems a little light.
