Castration should be the first penalty

I enjoyed reading the article, as it exemplified empowerment for many women who can not fight. As a young African woman, I believe African tradition and culture has for a long time accepted violation and abuse of women through various practices e.g. female genital mutilation.

In addition to some African man believing its their God given right to litre their manhood everywhere i believe its a violation against women. Its very interesting that Africans always seem to have negative conotations about woman in the "West" who are perceived to be individualistic and not submissive. However, Ithink woman in the West are aware of their sexual rights and the law is supportive and prosecutes violent behaviour against women.

I totally advocate for emasculation of man especially if the lives of babies and young children are involved. Castration should be the first penalty.
