Peacock has a series streaming called "I Cut Off His Penis". It starts with the most famous US case (Lorena Bobbit) but goes on to discuss an increasing number of cases worldwide. In the trailer one woman said that everyone wants to talk about what she did to him but not what he did to her. Part of me wants to watch this but I have a feeling it will be one case after another about men abusing women and getting away with it until the women committed an extreme act of self-defense.

I need to think about how much depressing things I want to watch right now.
