Added to it[edit]

They appeared on Family Guy so why not add it to the Legacy and depiction in popular culture section. CarverSindile (talk) 03:26, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Switch the name order[edit]

Lorena is the more known personality, and the active participant in the affair. I know sexist conventions say to put his name first, but we should be better than this. 2601:200:4401:4100:2752:D6:8E97:E6B8 (talk) 19:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

True that. Besides he’s not even a man anymore if you know what I mean. 71.176.76.206 (talk) 01:27, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you care about the order of the names, just list them in alphabetical order. That said...
"I know sexist conventions say to put his name first, but we should be better than this."
"True that. Besides he’s not even a man anymore if you know what I mean."
If the genders were reversed, you people would scream blood and murder. You may not realize but saying things like this is even a worse form of a sexual convention, namely; "You are only a man if you have male genitals." You probably think, "Don't take it too seriously, it's just a joke..'. If so, you fail to realize you also give permission to males making jokes about females missing genitals. If you disagree and say men can't joke about that, then you say that you can make jokes about men all you like, just not women. This would also be deeply sexist. This is really a slippery slope. Don't make this about politics, keep your own bias to yourself. This is Wikipedia, not Reddit or Twitter. 89.205.129.228 (talk) 15:39, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reportedly around April 2001 there was an incident like this one, but it got less media attention than the John Wayne Bobbitt and Lorena Gallo Bobbitt case. The man actually died from blood loss, but the case was, curiously, prosecuted as a battery incident causing substantial bodily harm rather than a homicide case. The names were apparently also withheld for privacy reasons.

Wrongly prosecuted

Few basic things that are ignored in the article and in the process that ware in case of John and Lorena Bobbitt is that women cannot be raped by her husband while being married to that same husband. Also man cannot be raped by wife while being married to that same wife. There can be a case of abuse but the act of fucking is part of a marriage agreement part of marriage obligations. The person can be charged for domestic violence if is beating a wife but not for rape. And that woman should be charged with assault with deadly weapon with intention to carry out serious injury or cause death. Those things if there ware ever a new court-hearing for that case and re-examination should be specifically counted for.
