You got that right!

A former British model has been jailed after smashing a wine glass on a student’s face and dragging it along his cheek.

Lisa Kee was drunk when she attacked Liam Sharratt at an upmarket bar in Deansgate in England’s south in 2007, theTelegraph newspaper reports.

Manchester Crown Court heard that Kee approached Mr Sharratt and a group of his friends, where they exchanged in “good humoured banter”.

But when her victim jokingly called her “a slag”, Kee turned violent.

The 29-year-old, who had a “red wine moustache”, demanded: “Who do you think you are?”

She tossed her red wine over Mr Sharratt and, when he laughed, she punched him in the head.

Mr Sharratt laughed again and this time Kee smashed her wine glass against his head before dragging it over his face and ripping his cheek open.

The gash was so deep that when he breathed his cheek flapped open.

He was left scarred for life.

Judge Martin Rudland described the incident as a “vicious and wholly unwarranted attack.”

Kee, who stood sobbing in the dock, was jailed for two-and-a-half years.

Mr Sharratt, a PHD student, was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and had to delay the completion of his studies.

Wanna know how I got these scars? This woman, was a drinker…and a model. And one night, she goes off craaaazier than usual. I don’t seem bothered when she throws a punch at me. She doesn’t like that. Not…one…bit. So, me watching, she takes the wine glass and smashes it on my head, laughing while she does it.

She gets closer to me, and she says, “Why so serious?”. She comes at me with the broken glass, “Why so serious?!”. She sticks the broken glass on my cheek, “Let’s put a smile on that face.” Aaaand, why so serious?

Great job.

Why did MarvelGirl not join the debate until after OG left? That would have been a catfight of epic proportions.

This thread sparked a memory from when I was younger.

I was 8, and taking Judo classes at a local school. My mother decided to also take jujitso classes at the same dojo. My mother has had somewhat of a hard knock life, and took the classes very seriously, applying a good bit of dedication and effort to them under the belief that they would be helpful in the event that she would be mugged or attacked. Or that I or my brother, as children, would be attacked in her presence.

My father, during one of their many verbal confrontations during this period, denigrated the usefulness of these classes, ending the particular bout with the challenge, ‘well if these classes are so useful, lets see what you’ve got! Kick my hand’ and he held up his hand about a foot in front of his chest.

My mom kicked the shit out of his hand.

It was a few days before feeling returned, even though he still had some use of it (which was good- he works as a programmer). I do not believe anything was broken.

My father later remarked that those were the dumbest words he has ever said in his life.

It’s worth pointing out here numerous inconsistencies with the views commonly described in this thread. The violence didn’t escalate. My dad looked at his hand and kinda went 'okay. Point taken.'He did not call the police. My parents are still happily married today(this was about fourteen years ago).

I don’t think this qualifies as spousal abuse- even though my mom’s got a good four inches of height on my dad. It was a specific challenge, met, made and matched bewteen two consenting adults. It was the only moment of physical violence I’ve ever seen between my parents… and I gotta say, my Dad kinda had it coming.

I don’t really know how this or even if this could be properly reversed. If my dad was taking some karate class, and my mom challenged his masculinity, demanding he kick her hand to show her his kunf-fu skilz, and he did and hurt her, that would be inappropriate.

There exists a double standard. That men are held to a higher standard regarding violence to women is definitely true.

Sometimes there are things you have to do, that aren’t fair, that aren’t fun, that don’t make sense, but that sometimes you have to dojust because it’s right. It is inappropriate for men to say ‘women want equality? Well I’ll give them equality…’ and then proceed to lay the same beatdown on an offending female that they would give to a man.

Sometimes men just have to suck it up, suffer the inconsistencies and inequalities, and continue trudging the road to happy destiny. Because we’re men.

A chick slapped me at a party in front of a room full of people and I let it go. Then she did it again, hard, and I slapped the bitch back. Why? Because she was in my face and she deserved it. I’d do it again.

Your dad also asked for it.

How come it’s usually the woman who think they are shit hot slapping dudes.

Any woman i know that has respect for herself and others doesn’t hit men. But those fucking paris hilton types think their pussy in a get out of jail free card. Its just easier to not associate with those people.

… yeah…

What I would like to say is that one of the few advantages or shall I say respect that comes along with being a fit man is that women at least acknowledge men’s strength. And they’re theoretically supposed to respect it.

Then again,with the time of feminism,men are simultaneously bombarded with messages questioning their masculinity or even ridiculed. Decades ago the message was getting through the media starting with more innocent “Wonder Woman” type stuff and gradually progressing to more and more frivolous and very literal female on male ballbusting which is even used in commercials now. As a consequence,many women openly mock and scoff at men’s physical competence,even if they would be crying for a man to help them if they got in trouble.

One reason which is stated as a justification for taking female on male violence less seriously is that he’s supposed to be able to take her. But that does not mean that he won’t receive any trauma prior to submitting her. If a man has a fake nail shoved into his eye or kicked square in the testes,he may well be able to get her back but that does not mean he won’t need to have surgeries which may never completely repair the damages done.

Finally,if women respect or are intimidated by men’s physical prowess and indeed even fearful of men,then they would not be starting shit up,would they? I would wager most women do not but those who do obviously do not fear and respect men’s strength. They can’t have their cake and eat it too; either they seriously think messing with a man is a bad and potentially dangerous idea or they do not.

Although I have to admit, as hypocritical as it is to never hit a woman back if she slaps you first without real provocation…I’d have to say that I wouldn’t slap her back. Especially not in a social setting, the social repercussions of doing said thing would be probably terrible.

I want to hit Bruce Forseith

Well seeing as society as a whole seems to believe that “EVERYONE is equal” I would say the majority of people would say that.

Back in high school I was slapped HARD by a girl I didn’t even know,(Well, she did ask me my name in class once. Hmmm.) after someone else had poured water an her. It was pretty obvious she was high on something though.

It is kind of a lose/lose situation. It’s similar to what one of my friends told me who wrestled in high school. If you have to wrestle a girl, and she beats you, you got beat by a girl and everyone made fun of you. If you wrestle a girl and you beat her, will it’s a girl and you should have beat her, then everyone makes fun of you. It’s similar to the slap. If she slapped you and you did nothing, you got beat by a girl. If she slapped you and you slapped her back, people will remember that you slapped a girl, the fact that she started it may not even be mentioned.

It’s not about strength, it’s about respect.[/quote]

Shut up with this respect thing. I’m so sick of respect and disrespect being an excuse for violence nowadays. A lack of respect isn’t a right to hit someone, even if they slap you to begin with.

The facts are:

  1. It was a gameshow where the girl is trying to get a negative emotional response from the contestants.
  2. She hit him = she was wrong.
  3. His life or physical well-being was not further threatened.
  4. He hit back = he was wrong.
  5. He got beatdown by a mob = they were wrong.

They were ALL wrong! It was NOT okay for him to hit her back, whether she deserved it or not. I honestly don’t get where it’s ok.

I disagree. She slapped him looking for a response. He gave the response, therefore, she utlimately won. If he didn’t respond, or if he smiled and laughed in her face, he would’ve beaten her.
