Content: It is only commonly used in reference to the removal of testicles. So the question in the title is rarely stated to men in such a cavalier attitude but yet women are offered this suggestion every day as if it is no big deal. Why is this? Definitions
If you look up castration you will see that it refers primarily to men with a small mention of women. Most of the discussion is about how it has been used throughout history, why it is done in animals and the pros and cons of using it as punishment for sex offenders. It is also often referred to as mutilation. There is no mention of men having this done as a preventative measure against cancer or other life-threatening illness. It does not appear that this is common enough for a mention. Even when you do a google search for reasons for castration you will get more results for animals than you will for humans. You have to go down to a very specific search before you can get down to cases where this is done.
