Ouch! Woman arrested for yanking, tearing man's genitals

[a kennedy]

By Nolan Rosenkrans

A Winona woman was arrested Friday after she grabbed a man by his genitals and yanked hard enough for him to need stitches, police said.

Sheila Mae Baker, 54, was referred to the Winona County Attorney's Office for possible charges of domestic assault, third-degree assault and interfering with a 911 call.

She denied grabbing the man, telling officers he cut himself, Deputy Police Chief Tom Williams said.

Baker bailed herself out of jail Saturday. When contacted by the Winona Daily News on Monday, she reiterated that she didn't grab the man, but said she hit him in his genitals in self defense.

"I did not grab him by his testicle," Baker said. "I kneed (him)."

Police were called at 10:01 p.m. Friday to a residence in the 850 block of East Fifth Street for a report of a domestic disturbance. When they arrived, officers spoke to a man who was wearing a T-shirt and underwear, Williams said. The man pulled down his underwear and showed them a large tear on his genitals.

The man said Baker and he had been arguing that evening, and he had been trying to stay out of her way, Williams said. He was in the kitchen when she came in, grabbed him by the genitals, pulled and jerked. The man was transported to Winona Health, where he received stitches for the tear, Williams said.

3. Good reason to make it a rule to wear baggy pants when around genital grabbers.

Makes it much harder for them to score a direct hit on the family jewels.

8. I really wish I'd stopped reading when I got to "yanking"

Poor guy - no matter how it happened I hope he's all right...

9. Many women feel they have the right to hurt a man anyway they can...

...including physical injury, property damage and even summary eviction if the woman feels (rightly or wrongly) she has been wronged by him in some personal way. They don't. Granted most of the examples I have seen practicing criminal or divorce law or watching my disfunctional family don't rise to serious injury.

While I agree with most things that can be called "feminist" including the rights of domestic violence victims; those things do not include this. I doubt many here would argue with that. Nevertheless, there is a gut feeling many women have and many men accept that allows a kind of person vengence. "Kick him to the curb!" Really? Based on what? Let's see a writ with a judge's signature first. If he hit her that's different. I saw a sign awhile ago outside a used CD store. "Instant cash for HIS CDs!" RSP anyone? Just as men have to understand they cannot enforce their will or settle disputes with violence, women have to realize that personal insults and even adultry are not license for lawlessness.

Sorry, I know this is posted in the Lounge, but the subject is really too serious for that. If the woman was on the receiving end of the injury, there would be nothing funny about it and there isn't in this case.

11. apparently it's still smiled upon in this society

ball jabbing, kneeing etc. seems to be a big humor element in the movies, considered on the level of a fart joke

still thinking of tiger but i'm still amazed that the woman who chases him out of his own house w. a golf club is the one who gets to leave the country with the kids

sure adultery is naughty but beating people is not naughty, it's criminal, there IS a difference

10. Didn't the exact same thing just happen in England

a couple of weeks ago?
