I always thought, emancipation is the better word
Still, etymological it's about young Roman (men) reaching adulthood
Why don't fucking take over the word?
At least, I think, being emancipated, means to be able to stand for oneself
Not sure what emasculate even means - especially as another user posted it was meant for castration.
But maybe I'm missing the point/topic and I'm not sure, if I'm "allowed" to post in this community anyway, so I gonna shut the fuck up ;-)
