I tend to agree, I think the castration of men by women has become an accepted punchline, and treated with a lot less weight than it should be. Cases where such things have really happened have turned the women involved into folk heroes of feminism, even if they were prosecuted legally.stinkychops said:

Female genital mutilation is a bit of a topic right now, albiet one that doesn't get brought up as much as it should due to it's connection to Islam and the fact that we really failed in liberating women in The Middle East after making a bit of a big deal about it.
Just as I feel "the cutting of the rose" is wrong, I feel castration is wrong, and neither can be justified as some kind of "justified cultural payback" or whatever. If someone used something like this as a "punchline" in a joke, it would probably cause an outcry.

Still, the image of a Robie The Robot attached to a pair of scissors and a game console will now haunt me for all of eternity... thanks ENN. :/
