THE BEST HOPE FOR CIVIL DISCOURSE ON THE INTERNET…IS ON REDDIT

摘要

I had a view, and my view was this: Serial sexual abusers should submit to castration. Castration, I believed, would sideline the abuser's compulsions and thus keep the world safe from him (or her lol). While castration hasn't been tested on abusers in the Harvey Weinstein style, it's been used with success on child molesters, bringing the recidivism rate, or so I'd read somewhere, from 75 percent to 2 percent. (Another upside: Castration is rumored to forestall male-pattern baldness.) Of course I meant an entirely bloodless course of hormone therapy. Not a hatchet. I'm not some harridan. The abusers would just get shot up with something called an anaphrodi-siac, a brew to suppress androgens and other traces of Aphrodite in the blood.
