......... No Fury Like A Woman Scorned

An update on the State of Arizona versus Arias case.

It appears as though America is experiencing another " Lorena Bobbit " moment.  Bobbit and Jodi Arias' violence against men could prove to be pivotal moments in the way that women address their difficulties with the male population.                              Lorena Bobbit's jury rendered an insanity judgement.  If Arias' panel of peers reach a verdict of ANYTHING but guilty and, importantly, the death penalty, then many men in the States will be leary of laying  their hands upon women, or doing anything of a sexual or nonsexual nature that may incur the wrath of a woman scorned.  If Arias, possibly a pathelogical liar and narcissist, can be humanized by her defense team, and a solitary juror empathizes with her, then there is going to hell up in Harlem, to quote a phrase.                          If Travis Alexander, palmed off as being a stand up guy, member of the Mormon church, and apparently, formerly a reliable bread winner, can cause a woman, any woman, to go off, like Arias admittedly did, then there are probably a ton of women who may take anything but Jodi being subjected to perishing at the hand of the state, as a license to kill, or at least to  jack a guy up pretty bad.  In future, if Arias is not put to death, then other gals can cite the  " Jodi Arias " case as precedence.  Who knows?     Maybe, just maybe, some woman out there may see a lifetime in the pokey preferable to continued abuse, or alledged abuse.  HRM
