    A close one to this would be - especially with relations to doing this to a male protagonist - Neuter. "I **neutered** him by expertly destroying his faulty logic". Commented Mar 26, 2017 at 2:54

    Actually, "to castrate" can also mean "to remove the ovaries" e.g. my female cat is castrated, so it's not only applicable to male villains. Commented Mar 26, 2017 at 8:24

    @Sumyrda, I see dictionary.com concurs that castrate can mean "to remove the ovaries of" as well as "remove the testes of". Your comment was the first instance I encountered for the alternate meaning; before this I'd only heard "spayed" used for the removal of an animal's ovaries. Commented Mar 26, 2017 at 15:16
  • @Sumyrda I guess the next logic step would be Spayed... but I don't think I spayed her by expertly destroying her faulty logic has the right ring to it... Commented Mar 26, 2017 at 17:07
  • Also along these lines: "cut his balls off". But only if you want to be crude. Commented Mar 27, 2017 at 17:12
