Neither, I just don't find it that relevant. In any case, if you want a closer example, 1 in 3 women in the US does an hysterectomy, the vast majority including removal of the ovaries.

By the way, we're in agreement in that castration is an unnecessarily invasive procedure; I'm just less shocked by it than you.
