“A eunuch is a castrated man.
A gelding is a castrated stallion.
A steer is a castrated bull.
A wether is a castrated ram (sheep) or buck (goat).

I don’t know why you’d think the term for a horse is more appropriate than the term for a human in this context.”

A barrow is a castrated boar (pig).

So Trump is an alpha male with a healthy sexual appetite.

It comes as news to the pajama boys of the Left and the nation’s newsrooms.

Wow!

Wow, so it is. I didn’t know that, and I didn’t know, until I looked it up earlier, that “wether” is used for goats as well as sheep. I wonder why: the other terms aren’t the same: ram, ewe, lamb (for sheep); buck, doe, kid (for goats).

It pays to increase your word power!
