sexual assault and power vs chemical castration

[JaChelle Sugar]

Since assault and rape are about power, not sex, would chemical castration actually be a fitting or effective consequence (to use a favorite fundy word) for the rapist?

I'm not convinced chemical castration or even actual castration particularly works.

A rapist who was castrated while awaiting trial in Arkansas in the 80s (long, torturous story with people saying he did it to himself or the sheriff did it or who knows who did it) was paroled and sent to another state--which ended up being Missouri, where he was convicted of killing one woman and raping/molesting her. and was suspected of at least one other murder in the KC area.

The longer story involves Huckabee as well as Clinton, in one way or another.

Rape is a power trip. You don't need genitalia to get the mental thrill rapists seek.

qft, a working penis isn't needed. not all male rapists even get erect during the act, so they use objects.

and of course, not all rapists are male.

Sadly, for the longest time, if a penis didn't go into a vagina, if it went anywhere else or nowhere, then the charge would be a lesser charge of assault since the definition of rape was forcing a penis into the vagina of a woman who was actively fighting. This meant women legally couldn't rape men, men couldn't rape men, women wouldn't rape women, forcing anal sex on a woman wasn't rape, a woman physically incapable of fighting couldn't be raped, a woman who stayed still because a gun was pointed at her head wasn't rapes...all of it a lesser assault charge.

A while back there was an uproar when a quadriplegic woman was raped, but it wasn't considered rape because she didn't fight. She literally couldn't move, so was basically fair game.

Boy was I unclear. I should have said, considering the facts about rape, castration actually probably wouldn't do a ton to prevent future attacks.
