Why does god want to cut off women's hands?

[John V]

The verse max referenced was:

19 If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him.

How is that not commensurate?

The verse max quoted was:

19 If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him.

This is, indeed, commensurate.

Actually I wasn't referencing that passage I was referring to the passage about cutting off a woman's hand for touching the genitals of an assailant on her husband.

The post speaks for itself. You referenced the verse on disfigurement, and others agree with you.

That is not commensurate in any way, shape or form.

Correct, the case of the woman's hand is not necessarily as commensurate as the general rule. As previously noted, the general rule can't apply between people with different body parts. Depending on the damage done to the man, the woman's punishment could be either more or less than commensurate. If more, than it should certainly serve as a deterrent. You guys act as if women have no control over their actions.
