Do you think we should chop off hands for stealing? Behead someone for murder?

I will take "red herring" arguments for 800 please.

I think I could be pro castration for repeat offenders, but reading the Anthony Broadwater case is heartbreaking. That woman made millions ruining an innocent man’s life. Imagine if he had also been castrated.

Maybe for the same reason the death penalty is not permitted in most jurisdictions.

There is always more to the story and mistakes are made.

Are you comparing infidelity to rape? Just so I understand your argument?

Also death penalty IS in most juridictions: States with the death penalty: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming.

What you are saying to women is being raped is not worthy of the worst punishment we have. I'm saying it should be.

Ok, but what about the 12% of all inmates in this country who are in prison for violent sexual offenses? Yes, that one story is sad. But I'm more worried about the thousands of victims being raped in this country.

OP: You do not seem to acknowledge that women can rape others. Years ago, this was a serious problem at a well known all female college.

Are you 100% certain none of them were falsely accused? Anthony Broadwater was imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. He lost his whole life and you want him to also have been castrated?

We are talking about DNA proven cases nowadays.

Castration wouldn’t end rape. It might prevent some forms, certainly not all.

NP. It’s bizarre how blithely unconcerned you are about innocent people potentially getting convicted, executed, or spending life in prison.

You should read the story instead of just making assumptions. There was DNA evidence using a technique that has since been discredited.

DP but I have to respond here. Why are female rapists only being brought up now? I've discussed female rapists (...attempted to discuss, actually) in threads about toxic femininity, only to be shouted down in favor of a fake "girl power/YAS QUEEN!" chorus of female narcissists in denial. And I'm a woman who was sexually abused by other women. And men.

There are countless depictions of toxic femininity in TV and film, all of it either glorified or at least justified. Nobody wants to discuss that.

Yet I find it really weird that all of a sudden woman abusers need to be brought up in a thread about male abusers. Why are you trying to deflect and scapegoat, PP? Why don't you want to acknowledge that it's inherently f***ed up that our society protects penises at all costs, even in the case of rape?

I've been raped by women and hear me well: male rapists deserve castration. The women who raped me deserve to have their cl*ts removed, frankly, and both male and female rapists deserve jail time.

Because rape isn’t about sex, it’s about power and violence.
