 Women who Kill Men by Mihau Tonetki


Das ewig weibliche…with 7 out of 10

 

We are used with works where men appear to be chauvinistic, arrogant and even aggressive towards women

Mankind is an example of male decisions- man stands for human and mankind for the whole human race.

We do not say womankind and for 99% of history, women have been treated badly, denied the vote and a voice,

They have been relegated to the cave and then to the kitchen, doing lesser work and often treated as slaves.

Alas, even today women are mistreated in many parts of the world, where their second class status is enshrined in the law of land.

When that law is sharia, or whatever males make out of it, there are all kinds of restrictions and penalties for women.

 

As the title makes plain, in this story women are not the victims and they turn the position of females on its head.

They have had enough and they want revenge.

Two women have taken a man prisoner and want to make him pay for his philandering and improper attitude towards women

As a man, I have mixed feelings and on one hand understand women’s grievances, but on the other I fear that one man cannot pay for all.

This male is waking up from a drinking night only to find that he cannot move, because he is tied up in an unfamiliar place.

The two women talk nicely if sarcastically with their prisoner who has asked for it since he picked up two strangers in a bar-

-          You were hoping for an orgy

-          How could I want such a thing

After the initial kind or at least decent exchange of pleasantries, the man is pouring insults over the kidnappers.

-          You are idiots…and then vampires

Torture methods and final exit are then discussed, with needles and a shot through the heart being promoted as options for death.

This was not bad and the passing from one threat to another strange scene was funny and rewarding, with cherry on top.

The guy stated that he was alone and free as a bird and now that he faces his jailors he is trying to make it look reasonable.

I do not know what to think of the moments when the man is left alone with one and then the other of the kidnappers.

A bond seems to be developing, somewhat like a Stockholm syndrome, but what are the women doing getting close to the man?

Is this confusing and against the course of the story or is it just me thinking that those women are determined to make the man pay?

-          How do you get payback, by warming up to the enemy?

Now I get it- women are so kind, generous, gentle, sociable, forgiving, magnanimous, serene, awesome and much more- that they embrace the enemy…

-          Or don’t they?

Epistolary edited by Gabriel Liiceanu http://realini.blogspot.com/2021/11/50-minutes-with-plesu-and-liiceanu-10.html - 10 out of 10

  Epistolary edited by Gabriel Liiceanu http://realini.blogspot.com/2021/11/50-minutes-with-plesu-and-liiceanu-10.html 10 out of 10     This wonderful book contains letters exchanged between the brightest minds we have in this realm – there is the exception of Eugen Simion, the late president of the Academy here, a rather horrid attack on luminaries that were so much wiser than this fellow, who came to lead a forum that should be only for the crème de la crème, yet, his presence at the top in fact reveals the ‘values’ that have reached what should be the chamber of the nec plus ultra – and as such, much of what is being debated is quite inaccessible   Ergo, the spoiler alert, warning, disclaimer, and maybe the way out of accusations of spam – one of the notes I have posted on Goodreads, Cleo From 5 to 7 http://realini.blogspot.com/2023/07/cleo-from-5-to-7-aka-cleo-de-5-7-by.html has been deleted, because it was considered spam, while the one who is the #...

The Killer by Luc Jacamon 10 out of 10

  The Killer by Luc Jacamon 10 out of 10     Reading about killers, or watching the stupendous The Killer, with fabulous Michael Fassbinder in the leading role may seem like the wrong idea, in a world that has some nasty wars taking place in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Myanmar, and the danger is that they might be expanding, as it is, Iran is attacking the USA, through its proxies Hezbollah, Houthis in Yemen (they have launched missiles) and militias in Iraq and Syria   It all depends on how good the author is, what the adaptation looks like, cast, director, you could have a magnum opus that is a crime story, such as Crime and Punishment http://realini.blogspot.com/2020/06/crime-and-punishment-by-fyodor.html by Fyodor Dostoyevsky - an algorithm has recently looked at various relevant compilations and established the 50 Greatest Novels and the story of Raskolnikov is on it, together with other astounding works, Marcel Proust is at number one The Killer starts...

  The Adventures of Ferdinand, Count Fathom by Tobias Smollett – included on The 1,000 Novels Everyone Must Read List http://poemeglume.blogspot.com/2023/04/1000-novels-everyone-must-read.html 7 out of 10     The Adventures of Ferdinand, Count Fathom was first published in 1753, which might mean that it is not for the tastes of readers from our times, not even middle aged ones, like yours truly (who is actually sixty in a couple of months, but like to adopt the ‘the sixties are the new forties’ slogan) who has abandoned this   Hence, the spoiler alert, warning, disclaimer to avoid being (again) censored for spam – though I did not get the inclusion in that category, a reading of the definition could help, but this being my note, until it is obliterated by the Goodreads staff, and then it will still be available at the new blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/ I say that spam is used for the unrequested messages we receive, meant to make us buy things ...
