Content: This seems to come down to a stigma that men associate with castration because of the portrayal of eunuchs through history. What they forget to mention is that most eunuchs were castrated early in life, before puberty, and then it makes a big difference. Conclusion
I will admit I came at this a bit biased, besides being a girl I somewhat assumed this was another of those slanted health issues. After talking about this with Shaunta Grimes and reading her article I was a bit ready to light into some doctors. Now I want to light into them for a different reason. I now feel like we are doing men a great disservice when it comes to this particular health issue. It has to come down to advanced prostate cancer before castration is even discussed with men. It isn’t clear what the societal standard is that makes this so but it appears to center around sexual performance or manhood. For some reason, women have an easier time still being women after our ovaries are gone whereas men have a much harder time with their testicles gone. Women will discuss the removal of all kinds of girl parts as if it is a natural part of everyday conversation.
