I see what you're saying, Ron, but, to reframe it, I believe that historically speaking, the man with no balls thing does intend to convey the message that the man is "emasculated" which means his manliness is taken away, and because we only recognize two genders, that means he is feminized. I mean, it isn't too big a stretch when you consider that the biggest insults to men are always those insults that portray them as womanly, feminine, etc. Sexism intersecting with heterosexism. <sigh> What a great world we live in. <rolls eyes>. -Yael
