I once worked with an autistic client who was receiving the chemical castration shots. He got a shot of Depo-Provera once a month. It reduces the sex drive but desn’t completely eliminate it. Since it’s basically a hormone shot, it also causes men to grow breasts and lose facial hair. Other than that, it doesn’t seem to cause much discomfort.
I don’t have a problem with this, but it should probably be pointed out for the record that it won’t necessarily stop a perpetrator from re-offending (even physical castration can’t guarantee that), and if the subject misses a shot or two, the sex drive comes right back. It’s not like it’s fullproof. If one of these guys lams it or somehow avoids getting the shots, he’s right back to normal.
I sure agree it’s a great step forward. I hope that they will soon amputate the hands of thieves too. And, it is to be hoped, the stoning of adulterers should come next.
Brownmiller? :dubious: I’m willing to be educated, but isn’t that a bit like taking the word of an Austrian housepainter on why everything is the fault of the Jews?
The study has definitely been criticized. But what I haven’t seen is another study with credible alternative evidence. I wasn’t being snarky when I asked Der Trihs for a cite - I was genuinely interested.
This is no joke, Big Trousers is one of the most insidious industries around. If you’re going to be a lobbyist, by all moral sense you should distance yourself from them.
To save your dignity, you must immediately drop Trou.
You do realize that consent cannot be given by a person who’s consumed alcohol, right? Yes, that means if you buy a girl a beer, and then sleep with her, you’ve committed sexual battery.
And now, she can send you off for a little choppy choppy. Good plan.
