No, that’s a Jesus thing. Again, Matthew 19:12. And the women following Jesus’ recommendation are doing it voluntarily. Get a clue.

Matthew 19:12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”

Jesus saying that it's acceptable for those who wish to do it is NOT Him recommending it.

He's basically just not condemning it.

No, He’s recommending it. You might be making the simple mistake of thinking that means I’m saying He’s recommending it for everyone. He wasn’t. But He was recommending it. After all Jesus came to preach the Kingdom of God. He was lauding those who made themselves eunuchs FOR SAKE OF THE Kingdom of Heaven. That’s a recommendation. But it’s a recommendation for those able to receive it.

Jesus would NEVER fail to recommend something that was genuinely for the Kingdom of Heaven since serving the Father in opening the way to Heaven was His whole mission. To say anything else is to fail terribly at understanding Christ and the Word.
