Where would you like me to begin? Emasculate: 1. To castrate. 2. To deprive of strength or vigor; weaken. thefreedictionary.com This study (a simulated prison with student participations) , which was to go on for 14 days had to be terminated after six days because of the extreme effects: =============== " Dependency and emasculation - the prisoners were made to be totally dependent on the guards for commonplace functions such as going to the toilet, reading, lighting a cigarette and this emasculated them. The smocks, worn without underwear, lessened their sense of masculinity. This was taken to the extent that when the prisoners were debriefed they suggested that they had been assigned to be prisoners because they were smaller than the guards. In fact there was no difference in average height between the prisoners and guards, and the perceived difference was a response to the prisoners’ perception of themselves and their lack of power." holah.karoo.net
