I do see nothing inherently offensive about the panels though. Yes, Yamara, because two wrongs make a right, because permanent and lifelong removal of the genitals is the equivalent of rape.

It has always annoyed me how many of my female contemporaries think castration is funny, then complain that feminists are unfairly tarred with the misandry brush.

Pretty much the only thing that could top this would be a collection of famous rapists waving bowie knives and riding lightning bolts.

But until then, there's an awful lot of castration to go before we realize equality.

Art like this showing the perpetrators breathing fire, and possessed of righteous fury might be seen as a little offensive to the other gender but since men are the victims here its obviously ok.
