    WHAT ANALOGIES NEGLECTS TO MENTION IS THAT SHE DESPISES MEN

    and that only SHE matters.

    My jibe about lopping off breasts was meant to make a point, not to be medically equivalent. If I had said every woman's clitoral hood should be chopped instead because it solves the problem of finding the clitoris in the first place, thus getting a man to get the girl off, so all marriages become more satisfying, I am sure she would suddenly agree it is a good thing.

    or NOT.

    The following ignorant comment speaks for itself.

    Also, just be clear, to equate the removal of a small relativly unused bit of skin to the radical removal of a physical feature shows a man unduly obsessed with his own genetalia.

    This is someone too narcissistic to ever love the opposite sex, preferring to think of men as disposable toys.

    It is amazing that so many women are eager to deface, mutilate, and deform men for their own amusement.

    I pity her and any woman so despicable to want to mutilate men. But nobody demands these women do not breed.
