This story keeps resurfacing in the media every couple of years.

>> A Russian man who tried to rob a hair salon ended up as the victim when the female shop owner overpowered him, tied him up naked and then used him as a sex slave for three days.

Viktor Jasinski, 32, admitted to police that he had gone to the salon in Meshchovsk, Russia, with the intention of robbing it.
Teaching a lesson: Olga Zajac, 28, allegedly held 32-year-old would-be robber Viktor Jasinski captive for three days in a back room of her hair salon, feeding him Viagra and having sex 'a couple of times'

Teaching a lesson: Olga Zajac, 28, allegedly held 32-year-old would-be robber Viktor Jasinski captive for three days in a back room of her hair salon, feeding him Viagra and having sex 'a couple of times'

But the tables were turned dramatically when he found himself overcome by owner Olga Zajac, 28, who happened to be a black belt in karate.

She allegedly floored the would-be robber with a single kick.

Then, in a scene reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, police say Zajac dragged the semi-conscious Jasinski to a back room of the salon and tied him up with a hair dryer cable.

She allegedly stripped him naked and, for the next three days, used him as a sex slave to 'teach him a lesson' - force feeding him Viagra to keep the lesson going.

The would-be robber was eventually released, with Zajak saying he had learned his lesson.

Jasinski went straight to the police and told them of his back-room ordeal, saying that he had been held hostage, handcuffed naked to a radiator, and fed nothing but Viagra.

Both have now been arrested.

When police arrived to question Zahjac, she said: 'What a bastard. Yes, we had sex a couple of times. But I bought him new jeans, gave him food and even gave him 1,000 roubles when he left." <<


Whenever it resurfaces, albeit with inconsistencies in the details, the story always spreads quickly across the internet. But imagine if the deviant shop keeper in the story had been a man, literally no one would drool over it or make light of it in any way. There is a weird double standard prevalent about perceptions relating to women committing sexually deviant acts. Very few consider it to be comparable to men committing them. Everyone wants to read sensationalist nonsense like this story, but noone would want to read a realistic account of how Victor would be treated by gangs of other men in prison.

So what do you think of this story? Intriguing? Dumb? Repulsive?

its similar to the teacher sex thing, aggression from a man to a woman is seen as worse than from a woman to a man

but that just makes sense based on simple biology. A woman being assaulted by a man is almost certainly at a physical disadvantage compared to the man, so there is more of a sense of victimization, the same as people would consider violence against children by adults worse than violence against adults by children.

it challenges some ideas about gender and sexuality, but I don't see what you want to discuss. did the courts give her a lenient sentence or something?

Don't forget that it is very possible for men to be assaulted by other men too. Whether or not you like to think about it, it would have made a far more realistic story for Victor to have been assaulted by another man.

And the physical disadvantage claptrap is rubbish, I know that I am physically weaker and less of a fighter than many women on the planet.

Surely you must know that male on male rape exists? Hadn't you at least heard about what goes on in prisons?

Everyone would be revolted if the story was about a man making a robber of either gender into his sex slave. But some people seem to think this story is funny or appealing on some other level.

I think that the story is a hoax even though all the tabloids printed it. But the real responses to it show how there is a gender based double standard in perceptions.

no, you are the first person I have ever heard talk about men raping other men in prison or otherwise roll eyes (sarcastic), please enlighten me

why did you make a thread about a woman raping a man if you want to talk about men raping men?

yes, because it challenges conventional ideas about violence and sexuality... it is also titillating in some taboo manner. This is all plainly obvious and really doesn't have a lot of depth for discussion

unless you really want an in-depth investigation into the psychology of gender stereotypes in the media... but this article is hardly a good example of that...
