    No! According to the official definition, only men can be castrated!

    cas·trate [ká stràyt]
    (past and past participle cas·trat·ed, present participle cas·trat·ing, 3rd person present singular cas·trates)
    vt
    1. remove testicles from: to remove the testicles of a man or male animal, making reproduction impossible.
    Animals are sometimes castrated to make them more docile and to prevent disease.
    2. weaken somebody or something: to take away the strength, power, force, or vigor of somebody or something
    The department was castrated through heavy budget cuts.
