Pedophile Priest Hits Close To Home

[Rev. Rye]

Actually, when you brought up “neutered people,” I thought you were thinking about eunuchs. I remembered a scene from The Last Emperor where Puyi banishes the eunuchs from the Forbidden City and they leave carrying a jar containing their severed parts (kept because of a belief that they should be reunited with their severed parts in the afterlife). In my mind, neutered=/=diseased.

OMG..

Thank you for referring to the Enuchs, that made me search, and find this horrible article.

I know about the Ottomans' "neutered slaves" that used to serve the Harem -of course; neutered so they don't shag the Sultan's female slaves-, "آغا" they would call them; but I didn't read about them in details.

And the spread of this vile act until China, predating Christ's birth even; is making me think about the amount of hypocrisy so many display when they talk about how "Muslims are monsters ! damn some African Muslims cut gentiles".

Poor bastards; this was one of the saddest things I ever read..I thought it was an ancient Egyptian habit that some Muslim societies picked up and the Ottomans perfected. But this is global ! and another spot of shame on the history of humanity.

Why are the fucked up humanity is silent about this? fuckin expose those evil corners in your history ! this is disgusting

To be fair, eunuchs aren't terribly common today, and when they were, the castration did yield some privilege to compensate for the lack of genitalia (or the attendant bladder incontinence that ended up as a side effect of it, particularly in China, where they took both the penis and testes), and, except for the hijra of India, people who have their genitalia removed for medical reasons, or those rare non-transgender people who decide to have them removed voluntarily, there isn't much point in illuminating this messed-up portion of human history. It's largely a historical curiosity, except perhaps with India's hijras, and I only learned about them while I was writing this post.

Also, Wyrd, your remark about Jews becoming eunuchs is really off-base, since the quote you took specifically forbids eunuchs from being part of the Sanhedrin, and overall, the Jewish tradition does not condone castration.
