    Ash, it's a typical male bonding thing to see a knife as a penis, and thrusting into a woman's parts in some kind of act of sexual finality.
    Trouble is all males have a penis - I assume - so where does the knife fit in?
    Freudian claptrap is where it fits in.
    Do you know what a 'claptrap' is?
    The trouble with blokes like you is you can't make the rare distinction between a sexual act of enjoyment, and a biological process of reproduction.
    This is exactly the same place that the Whitechaple Murderer found himself, and if one is not in a position to make a distinction between distinct process one seeks to either alienate, confuse or even destroy that distinct process... as if one can tinker with the universe by turning penis into knife.
    Wilson would love you. I don't.

      You are of course entitled to your opinion. I consider it both.

      I have read that one victim was stabbed several times in the genital area. It was either in one of my books, or perhaps here at this forum. If I find it again I shall refer you to it

        Your typical profiler will be a white male aged 25-40. He will tend to profile within his own societal and sexual grouping. While the profiles will tend to differ in many respects, individual profilers will often exhibit what we call a "signature" (something unique to that particular profile....apart from essential inaccuracy). Once a profiler has begun his profiling career he will carry on, undeterred by getting it wrong, until he is prevented from profiling either by incarceration or by death.

          Yes Jack I do, your first quote is a perfect example.

          So now you are saying that jtr's mutilations of these women were a sexual act of enjoyment for him. Thats what I'm saying.

          I'm fairly sure you are not saying that jtr's mutilations of these women were biological processes of reproduction. But perhaps you are. Your logic is so confused you might mean anything.

            Here are a few lines from Catherine Eddowes inquest.

            "There was a stab of about an inch on the left groin. This was done by a pointed instrument. Below this was a cut of three inches going through all tissues making a wound of the peritoneum about the same extent."

            So then, one stab wound and another blade injury which could have been a slash or a stab to the vaginal area. Certainly several knife injuries to the vaginal area. The second deep enough to enter the peritoneum.

              Certainly NOT "several" injuries to the vaginal area! We have one stab in the groin and one cut below it. Also, beware of quoting from the dreaded "decontextualised summaries" sometimes found in the press - reading the fuller account of Brown's testimony paints a somewhat different picture:
              "There was a stab of about an inch on the left groin. This was done by a pointed instrument. Below this was a cut of three inches going through all tissues making a wound of the peritoneum about the same extent... An inch below the crease of the thigh was a cut extending from the anterior spine of the ilium obliquely down the inner side of the left thigh and separating the left labium, forming a flap of skin up to the groin... There was a flap of skin formed from the right thigh, attaching the right labium, and extending up to the spine of the ilium. The muscles on the right side inserted into the frontal ligaments were cut through."
              So, rather than a stabbing attack centred on the vagina, what we actually have is the killer carving two flaps of flesh into the thigh, starting at the ilium and heading downwards. The single stab-wound to the left groin might have been a slip of the knife, either preparatory to, or during the "carving" of the flap on the left-hand side.

              Even if this weren't the case, "groin" does not mean "vagina", or even "the genitals" in the broadest sense. It's true that one of the labia majora was cut through, and the other "attached" to the flap cut from the thigh, but any cut wrought in the manner described would have included the labia in its trajectory.

              Furthermore, these wounds were evidently inflicted with a slicing, rather than a stabbing, action of the knife, so any supposed symbolism of penetrative sex goes out of the window. When these thigh-wounds are compared to the rest of Eddowes' mutilations, the idea that the killer was "fixated" on the genital area does not stand up to a moment's scrutiny, either.

                Surely you will agree that two things are a few things, and according to the definition a few things can be several. It follows that two knife injuries can be several injuries.

                No, a fuller account does not paint a different picture, it paints a fuller picture. Certainly all these other injuries were present. It does not detract from what I said. Namely that there were several knife injuries to the vaginal area.

                You have already said above that one injury was a stab wound to the groin. To that I would add that the other may also have been a stab injury. But whether it was a stab, a slash a hack - it was certainly another knife injury to the vaginal area.

                I said the vaginal area, which any one would agree, covers the genitals and groin.

                The doctor at the inquest said there was a stab injury to the groin (vaginal area). How have you managed to arrive at the injury evidently inflicted with a slicing action ? I am sure the doctor knows a stab injury when he sees one.

                No. A stab injury to the vaginal area may have had sexual symbolism for the killer. Many psychologists would agree with that.

                I did not say that I thought jtr was fixated on the victims genital area. I said that there were several stab wounds to the vaginal area, which I later modified to several knife injuries to the vaginal are, as we cannot be certain of the injury caused by the wound which was not described as a stab injury by the doctor. I also said that I thought the mutilations were sexually motivated.

                  With respect - there weren't. I don't care which dictionary you're using, but "one or two" does not equal "several".

                  "Several" are the wounds inflicted on Catherine Eddowes' face, which outnumbered her thigh-wounds by roughly 6 to 1, and which outnumbered her vaginal wounds by roughly 12 to 1 - and, in the latter figure, I include her cut labium, which was entirely incidental to the flap cut into her thigh.

                    There wasn't a stab to the vaginal area - there was a stab to the groin. Given that the groin covers a wide area, this stab might have been nowhere near the vagina at all. If Brown had meant to say "vagina" he'd have said so - he didn't hold back from mentioning the labia, so I doubt that he was euphemising here.
                    Many psychologists would agree with that.
                    ...they might have in the past, when psychology was only a few steps removed from fortune-telling, but not so many would agree with such old-hat Freudian interpretations now.

                      So, in your opinion, my dictionary's definition of the word "several" is nonsense. Or perhaps you think I am dishonest, and that my dictionary says no such thing.

                      If you believe the later, I shall be happy to produce an image of the definition my dictionary gives, and post it for you.

                      I did not say one or two equal several. I said a few equal several, according to my dictionary.

                      It is the best dictionary I have ever seen, and if new today, would possibly be priced above £25.

                        The groin is in the vaginal area - for females. Most people would agree with that.

                        There are probably hundreds of thousand of psychologists in the world. If only 10% of them agreed with me, there would still be many psychologists who agreed with me, which is what I said.

                          Ash, old bean, I was referring to your good self and not the Whitechapel Murderer in the quote you posted. That you might be somewhat confused between a knife and a penis.
                          But anyways pop over and read my thoughts on Pitchfork, where I say that there is no motive, sexual or otherwise, to such crimes as we discuss, but rather provocation.
                          I wish you a merry burning of beards.

                            Actually I have never been remotely confused in identifying either my penis, nor a knife.

                                The groin is that part of the body bounded by the creases of the thighs, according to its proper definition - which is what Dr Brown would have known, and used. That being the case, it's possible that the wound was nearer the hip than the genitals. If the wound was in the vaginal area, Brown would not have held back from saying so - anymore than he'd have felt inclined to substitute "naughty-bits" for "labia".
                                I think that many psychologists would agree that jtr's mutilation of the victims was sexually motivated. You of course, may believe what you wish.
                                Indeed, but speaking as a psychology graduate it's perhaps not so much what I "wish", as what I've "learned".
                                If only 10% of them agreed with me, there would still be many psychologists who agreed with me.
                                And they'd be very much of the old school, or at least as naive as the general populace, for whom "psychology" is something not too far-removed from astrology and cold-reading.
