Tess: 本期节目探讨了洛丽娜·鲍比特案，旨在揭示事件背后隐藏的家庭暴力和性侵犯问题。洛丽娜遭受了长期的虐待和强奸，公众和媒体对她的谴责是不公正的。90年代美国社会对家庭暴力的认识有限，对女性的权益保护不足，导致洛丽娜的遭遇被忽视和曲解。本案也反映了当时社会对性侵犯的定义狭隘，以及对受害者的偏见和误解。 Claire: 洛丽娜·鲍比特切下丈夫生殖器的行为，在当时被媒体和公众过度解读，而忽略了其背后的深层原因。洛丽娜的行为是长期遭受家庭暴力和性侵犯后的极端反应，是其在绝望中的自卫行为。本案也反映了90年代美国社会对女性的刻板印象和偏见，以及对家庭暴力问题的漠视。 Tess: 90年代的美国社会对家庭暴力和性侵犯的认识存在严重偏差。许多人认为家庭暴力只存在于极端的身体暴力中，而忽略了言语、情感和经济上的虐待。同时，婚姻强奸在当时不被视为犯罪，这使得许多女性在婚姻中遭受性侵犯却无法得到法律保护。洛丽娜的案子，正是这种社会现状的悲剧性体现。 Claire: 洛丽娜的案子中，媒体的报道和公众的反应都存在严重偏见。媒体将事件的焦点放在了洛丽娜的行为上，而忽略了其遭受的虐待和强奸。公众的反应也充满了对洛丽娜的指责和嘲笑，而对施暴者约翰·鲍比特却相对宽容。这反映了当时社会对女性受害者的不理解和不尊重。

Shownotes Transcript

In our last episode of "Cults, Crimes, and Conspiracies Month" we examine the case of Lorena and John Bobbitt, the infamous trial of the "mad woman" who cut off her husband's penis. We dissect why Lorena was torn apart by the public and press, when in reality she was the victim of abuse and rape, and we go into the political climate in America in the 90s, and why our ideas around domestic violence were so limited and minimized women.

TG: this episode contains many discussions around sexual assault, rape, and domestic violence. For more information on domestic violence, please visit this link, Sexual Violence Resources, for support groups, legal help, hot lines, and more.
