Content: 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. I don’t believe you would ever hear men do the same about guy parts. Perhaps this is a societal thing that we need to work on. That men need to know they are still men with or without their testicles. They need to know that this is a possible option to avoid a life-threatening illness. Just make the conversation more common and comfortable, like women’s.
