Geez, what a crappy choice of words . . . "emasculate" . . . and dumb too. Because 365gay.com is *guilty* of what it alleges = discrimination! Cripes. Talk about dumb!! But no surprise since 365gay.com isn't too terrific about its news reporting. It's sloppy at best, and here at worst it is discriminatory! YIKES.


Emasculation is the removal of the genitalia of a male, notably the penis and/or the testicles, by surgery, violence, or accident (see castration). . . . By extension, the word has also come to mean “to socially render (a male person) less of a man,” or “to make (a male person) feel himself to be less of a man by subjecting him to humiliation.” This metaphorical usage of the word is much more common than the application of its literal meaning.
