[b]Does neuter only refer to emasculating men[/b] or does that actually show us more about the way your brain works. You need to argue less and read more.

Yes. Yes, it does. Yes. Even veterinarians use "neuter" in that way. Find me an example where someone refers to "neutering" a female-coded workforce. "You can't neuter the nursing profession and then call for those same skills." "You can't neuter the housecleaning crew and then call for those same skills."[/quote]

Neutering, from the Latin neuter, is the removal of an animal's reproductive organ, either all of it or a considerably large part. [b]"Neutering" is often used incorrectly to refer only to male animals, but the term actually applies to both sexes.[/b] The male-specific term is castration, while spaying is usually reserved for female animals. Colloquially, both terms are often referred to as fixing. In male horses, castrating is referred to as gelding. Modern veterinary practice tends to use the term de-sexing.

Looks like the engineers on the board had it right. Probably that background in Latin.[/quote]
