My dear friend, Gay, touts a simple solution to many of the world’s problems: universal male castration.
Her thinking goes party as follows:
Naturally produced sperm is no longer necessary for the manufacture of new people, and who needs it by the bucket-load anyway?
Ridding the world of the testosterone-ladened can only reduce violence, and have the added advantage of allowing men to do more thinking with their big heads, rather than be ruled by their little ones.
Testicles are hardly the most attractive of male features.
Being a huge fan of male danglies myself, I find her proposal a bit drastic, but must admit to an attraction to the thought, nonetheless.
An article from the BBC today does go far toward illustrating Gay’s point.
One in four South African men questioned in a survey said they had raped someone, and nearly half of them admitted more than one attack.
With a recent report quoted as saying ” … a child was being raped in South Africa every three minutes … “, the suggestion of ball removal does have appeal.
Given that today happens to be the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the whole testosterone-driven, conquer-the-world-and-kill-a-whole-bunch-of-people-while-you’re-at-it thing resonates more than a bit.
Would the world be a better place, and would men be happier creatures, if the juice that drives so much of the machine lost its compelling oomph? Would male bonding have more positive impact if they didn’t each carry their best friend around in their pants?
Feel free to discuss, and if you’d like to put Gay in charge, I’ll pass along the message.

I'm in this one, too ...

Sorry Gay but no thanks. I like all my parts just where they are and think if I’m not out there over breeding or raping then perhaps the problem is more social but that’s just my opinion.
I’m still reeling from the BBC quote.
I don’t need testicles to want to kill people like that.
tell to your friend that she’s a sex-phobic; I HATE THIS STUPID THOUGHTS! testosterone is much more than this, is vitality. I’m proud to be male, homosex and alive, with all my need to have sex. women as you friend give sense to the misoginy-feeling, and I can understand ‘couse someone can hate a woman. if women should better understand men, the world should go better.but the women are lazy, think always for herselves.is so BORING for you to love a man, with his sex and need of it?
this culture is the major cause of violence.
or better…this no-culture.
all frustration in the world let it born violence, not testosterone.
male appetite is life. frustration and castration is death.
I hate, I hate, I hate, and i’m tired about this kind of things!
sorry for my english.
a little add:
frustration and stupidity are responsable for violence. a world of women shoul be the same. even much more psychological violence, adding to it.
the only way against violence is more culture, not to castrate vitality.
Pathetic times for men, just the fact that this whole discussion is about castrating them either as boys or men, and either just the criminals or all of us. We have really messed up to even be put in the position of this being a discussion. We guys have to get our act together fast or we are in big trouble for the entire future. Unfortunately I don’t place much hope in us as a group fixing things, most of us are still such frigging cavemen with blinders on about our faults. So if we don’t fix things ourselves, we are probably going to get “fixed”, literally or figuratively or both, either by women one on one or by the coming society run by women. There is the strong possibility that a US female president and Congress of 51% women (maybe by mid-century?) could legislate ANYTHING they want to control rapists and other male problems. Did you know that there was actually a special tax on being male almost put up for vote in Sweden (for real- not kidding)? And the women run that country already.
With all the rape and violence against women that goes on, I’m surprised you women havent had us all neutered a long time ago.
One reason women have been subjugated for so long, I suspect.
So if (and when) women take over, we’re pretty much screwed then?
In my opinion, castrating all men is a more immoral proposition than rape.
In rape, the man (or woman) who commits the act is no doubt at fault.
However, castrating all men puts society at fault. A miniscule proportion of men rape women. Commiting this crime to all men is to deprive every man of what nature says he’s entitled to. Testosterone is what gives them motivation and drive.
Now, if a man rapes a woman, then I say, castrate him! We don’t want him to do it again! However, all men should be given a chance before they are raped by castration.
Sometimes, I wonder how people can even consider these types of things.
This would bring back the same type of oppression to men of what us women had. We, as a society, need to remember that all sexes are created equal. One sex is not inherently entitled to dominate or dictate the other.
Thhank you for this
