Alt-right: Gun Control as Castration by Michael Enoch Comments
The author is using "castration" figuratively. Gun owning men are generally psychologically healthy; they are not making up for a sexual inadequacy, as women and sheep in general like to claim; rather they are following the masculine impulse to defend themselves and their families and their own. Men who perceive that they are called to be warriors will of course seek adequate means to enable them to be such. The author of this piece as well is not subscribing to the view that a gun is a surrogate for sexual potency. Can we say that instead the imagery is a projection by those who oppose gun ownership? Misandrists, especially, like to belittle men by attributing a small size to their penises and so on. Those who vehemently fear the power of men cannot but reduce masculinity to the male sexual organ .
