What makes laughing at male genital mutilation acceptable? Do feminists deserve blame?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vq6njtmU7g (if you dint want to watch a video..I'll sum it up below)

So, basically this guy is planning on divorcing his wife...she is upset about this, and cuts his penis off AND tosses it in a garbage disposal....On the talk show "the Talk", Sharon Osbourne jokes about the incident even when confronted about how no one would laugh about a similar situation involving a female victim. The panel plays along and the arguably mostly female audience gets a good laugh out of it too...Now I wanna stress a few things 1) The attacker NEVER suggested that the man was abusive to her...no one in the media has. And, I know feminists will want to act like this has nothing to do with them..but think about it: You constantly imply that "masculinity" as a whole needs some major tweaking..that most males are someone demented in some way. Men are the oppressors of women in nearly every detail of interaction between the genders..whether its having a preference for women who shave their legs, wanting wives to take their last name, or god forbid holding doors open. You demonize a gender so muchsexualityt just the gendr itself...but the sxuality of that gender....men are thought of as rapists, over oppressive segetting, or oppressive for getting visual stimulation from women found to be attractive So of course when a woman does something disgusting and horrific....the first reaction is "he must have done something to deserve that" or....regardless of the specifics of the situation...women view the mutilation of the male sex organ as something that is righteous and justice. Feminists always want to wash their hands of this..but what do you think happens when you demonize males to such an extent? Whether you want toresponsibler not..you are responsbile for making double standards like this possible. You can make all the excuses you want but feminist ideals are obviously the problem

Update:

Olds cool.....so then why is garbage like this acceptable..

Update 2:

Olds Cool..........I didn't make up any statistics...u can disagree with my opinion..but honestly..you think that u can demonize men without any consequences? and don't deny that feminists do...let me ask you is there a problem with masculinity in to days culture? If you admit yes...ur already demon zing men..pure and simple...and i have no doubt you believe that.

    That's what sells prime time slots in the US these days.

    Blatant insensitivity to men's issues and extra-sensitivity to women's issues.

    We all know the hosts on that show are Feminists who have time and time again shown their pro-female bias [Dr. Phil is another candidate.]

    If you shouldn't call that misandry, I'm not sure what it is.

    Feminism has nothing to do with equality, you should never ever believe there lies. they are a hate movement with double standards. They want equality but only equality that suits women and that isn't equality at all. They think its o.k to laugh at men being injured, and they cant see how sexist and hypocritical they are, because they don't want to. if men were laughing about women being mutilated

    feminists would be furious and quick to complain but they shut there minds to there own sexism when it suits them, they are either very stupid or just plain chauvinist hypocrites.remember that some women accuse men of being privileged even though too many women expect men to be chivalrous and crawl after them which is in fact a privilege that favours women only. Women think that sexism against men is acceptable because in there nasty feminist minds women cant possibly be wrong even though the evidence proves they are.

    Society care far more about women than it does men - due to a combination of chivalry, political correctness, and feminism - as a result sexism against men is mostly ignored and encouraged.

    The feminist movement has always find male genital mutilation empowering and even promoted/encouraged it

    So true if a guy were to cut a womens private areas no one would joke about it the feminists have succeeded in ruining and biasing and demasculizing all of society that stuff like this is entirely acceptable to for people especially to the fat and fugly bitter femininists and to olds cool, you are either sadly misinformed or in complete denial of feminists Doing this and if it wasn't feminists then who was it, you can't come up with anything because even you know it was the feminists movement

    I don't know whats wrong with Olds cool, oh wait shes a feminist duh, but i'm pretty sure those feminist women on "the Talk" were laughing. If you mute the sound and have someone else watch them its creepy because they look like they are having a lot of fun, then you tell someone what they were talking about and they would probably be like wtf.

    In that situation it is not acceptable at all. However for the 1st question.

    What makes laughing at male genital mutilation acceptable?

    It's acceptable when it's a man who willingly has a "sex change" operation. I laugh because they think they're women, when they're just men with mutilated genitals.

    No feminists have just actively promoted an atmosphere of bigotry and blind hatred toward an entire gender (and any woman who doesn't go along with them).. but they don't contribute to the undeserved hatred those women feel toward men. None at all.

    Channel3, pay no attention to Old's Cool. She was dismissing it way back when it happened.

    It's not feminists - some women enjoy men's suffering.

    OLD'S COOL: don't attack me for what you said. Be a big girl and own your words.

    Here you are dismissing the violent act:

    Here you are honing a joke:

    And don't be so egotistical - just because I don't agree with you doesn't make me an anti-feminist. Seems like all you man-haters think like that. I'm glad most women aren't like you.
