I'm ok with sexual predators and rapist getting their balls removed. A person's life can still be ruined even if he physically didn't hurt her. What if it happened to your daughter?

And what does your example have anything to do with it?

First, not all sexual predators are male. You seem to imply that they are all male ("balls removed"). Last time I checked, female predators don't have balls. What part of their body would you suggest removing?

Second, answer his/her question. If the genders were reversed, would you support a similar retaliatory tactic? Just answer the question to the point instead of hemming and hawing. C'mon, we're waiting to hear your answer.

I'm certainly open to the idea of a convicted sexual offender who can't been rehabilitated via behavioral therapy being subject to chemical castration.

I'm not open to the idea of an angry individual permanently maiming someone for allegedly publicly shaming them. It most likely was the guy who put the video up online, but what if it was a friend who found it and did it for the lulz? I remember in college, a couple friends went onto one of our other friends' computer after he left it open and posted a video he had made of him and his gf having sex. It caused a massive rift in his relationship with his girlfriend, humiliated him quite badly, and it was generally an awful thing. What if she had gone and thrown acid on him for that, and he was f'ed up for the rest of his life because two of our friends decided to have a Beavis and Butt-Head moment?

I'd be pissed, for sure, but even if the guy did something repugnant that betrayed her trust like this, she had consensual sex with the guy - he didn't rape her, he didn't beat her, he didn't maim her. If he laid a hand on her, I'd beat the hell out of him. If something like this happened, I'd either encourage her to take him to court for defamation, or I'd get back at him by obliterating his reputation socially - an equal, measured response. I wouldn't go dump acid on his junk - that is just plain psychotic.

Because you are evidently stating that you find it okay for an individual who believes that someone has wronged them to take the law into their own hand and permanently disfigure them, I am curious as to whether you find it acceptable when an angry man who believes (or, for that matter, knows) that his wife cheated on him throws acid on her and causes her indefinite pain and disfigurement. Do you find this acceptable?

Exactly.

All this stuff sucks, but can be repaired or replaced, like your sense of shame over being publicly humiliated. How many days, weeks, or months until you get over yoyr ex's douchery and move on? The dude is never getting his dick back, no matter how much he changes, regrets, or atones fornhis actions... if you really think this is an appropriate or acceptable response to what he did, then you are a pretty twisted person, plain and simple.

I've been cheated on, lied to, humiliated, and betrayed by women I've trusted in the past; it never dawned on me to do something that would destroy them for the rest of 5yeir lives, nor would I ever want that to happen.

No, I think he should have been punished. Two wrongs do not make a right.

BTW I am a female and a feminist, but mutilating another person is just wrong.

Well... it's always advised that when you feel a burning sensation from your pee-pee, you should see a doctor.

You are probably correct but I have a hard time feeling sorry for him.

I thought more Assault...it isn't even Attempted Manslaughter.
It is similar to chopping off a hand, isn't it...mutilation?
What would it be called legally?

I really don't see why most women need to get involved with any guy. Most are scum like this one.
Flip that around and I can make a case for that as well.

Just as many women do men wrong so don't go there. You all can be just as bad in many ways.

I have the life experience to say that I experienced it.
