8. Seriously
I would expect some motive for her actions. They're in the middle of a divorce proceedings, so there must have been provocation of some sort. Women very rarely commit sex crimes like this, so there has to be something which set her off.

And it appears to me that we very rarely hear about such things, at least in the case of a woman attacking a man. It's also telling that it makes such tabloid news when it does happen. I would suggest that for every man assaulted by a woman, there are many, many more assaults on women by men. Statistics and the law of averages show this to be true. If more men were assaulted in such a way, perhaps they would be less inclined to report it because they would be embarrassed. The whole "macho" impression of women being the "weaker" gender is overblown. I'd like to see a man give birth--they would never hold up.

Someone once said that if men menstruated every month, there would be a greater effort to find drugs to help the pain and misery. And if men were able to become pregnant, there would be a better contraceptive on the marker. Let's see who is really the weaker sex!!
