Sort of like when you said there were five billion years between two wars - no one thought you meant a literal period of five billion years. Lighten up.

I am sure any layperson can identify with not wanting their nuts or penis to be chopped off to make international news. I am not denying the event did not. It did.
But to what degree and for how long? Even if someone knows about Lizzie Borden, what are the odds that the most who would know about her are historians and not much further than that?
You know about Lorena Bobbit because of your age.
I didn’t claim that people who recognize the name were experts on the case, ffs, just that they’d know why she was famous. You asked a really, REALLY easy question that I happened to know the answer to. Not sure why you’re in such a twist over this.
But I’m glad you brought up Lizzie Borden. Kind of proves my point.
Yes, I know about Lorena Bobbitt largely because I was an adult when she made the news, but I don’t think that’s all that important. I know a shocking amount about the Roman Republic, which has nothing to do with my age.
You’re getting weirder and weirder as time goes on.
