I am not pro-censorship, but I feel that a book with this title should not be sold by a bookstore that also sells books to our young children.

By selling a book with this title, the bookstores are helping the consumers slide down a slippery slope to a form of "gender based animosity� and "sexual mutilation."

If the book merchants thoughtlessly continue to sell a product such as this, in the future, we may see book titles appropriately named, "How to Remove a Woman's Clitoris: A Joke Book.� "How to Hang a *beep* A Joke Book.� and "How to Abort a Toddler: A Joke Book."

Yes, the above listed imaginary titles are quite insensitive and mortifying.

So do we as consumers stop at only castration?

I do not think that we should.
