What appears to be happening is a two-fold attack on men. One, obviously, is as you describe. The other is an effort to disempower men by destroying both the visible symbol of manhood, and denying the man sexual pleasure.

Feminists have not urged women to restrain themselves from mutilating men. The most I’ve seen was Molly Ivins, in the wake of the Bobbitt affair, saying that feminists had not urged penisectomy, and that the crude violence was exercised by ordinary, non-feminist women. This, if anything, makes it worse. It is silent assent to female violence.

It is also a way of saying that it’s men’s fault. Male violence provoked by female acts is, however, always going to be condemned.
