Castration

As a women Doctor, I feel so enraged at the stupidity of those who advocate castration of all rapists. Chemical castration may have a part to play , but surgical castration is lunacy. Many years ago , while working in a South American Hospital, I had firsthand experience of this barbarity. A number of girls had been raped in a rural area. One night, two teenage boys were brought in. The had been thrown out of a van at the Hospital door. The were covered in blood. When their shorts were removed, I saw to my horror, that that both boys had been castrated. They had lost a lot of blood and we were lucky to save their lives. I recoiled at the thought of the agony they must have endured when they were being emasculated. To put it bluntly, they were castrated in the same way as one would castrate a hog, a cut at each side of the scrotum and the testicles taken out. It later transpired that both boys were innocent, with the rapist later being apprehended. They said afterwards that they had been abducted by a mob of women from the area where the rapes had been carried out. They were taken to a shack in the hills and stripped naked. They were subjected to brutal sexual assaults by these " good women" for two days. They were then tied down to a table and castrated by a woman , who declared herself most suitable for the task because of her experience of " cutting pigs " .
