Castration is a punishment for raping.

That’s not cruel and unusual to me. Seems entirely appropriate.

Because unlike them, we are civilized and don't solve problems with violence.

Or take/do whatever we want.

The death penalty is an unusual outlier--you could see it as a deprivation of all human capacities (thus as a violation of the Constitutional concept of cruel and unusual punishment, which is prohibited), or you could look at it as someone having time and freedom removed in a finite way (and thus as consistent with the Constitution, and therefore allowed).

But the extent to which it is an outlier is also part of why it's been so hotly contested, even in the lifetimes of most of us posting here.

If you're jazzed up by the idea of cutting off limbs or removing organs as punishment for crimes as determined in a court system as deeply flawed as the one we are living with today, you're kind of a pervert yourself. I wouldn't be running around bragging about that, which is probably why you're doing it here as an anon.

Not just anonymously, I’ve done it in my work and written several white papers on this issue.

That tracks. Academics are all in on fighting for and protecting male privilege above all else these days.

If we regulated men's testosterone as much as we regulate women's hormones there might not be as many rapists, school shootings or wars.

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.
