Yeah, metal shears with a nice long handle to make cutting through hardened objects more easily.

And wouldn't you know it but turpentine is an antiseptic and pain reliever...

I still don't get it. My metal shears don't open enough for anything but sheet metal, and they're definitely not suitable for anything hardened. I get the feeling that the reference is about using them on people, but I don't understand how.

The comic is about women’s reproductive rights and how righties want to take that away from them. The woman is suggesting the same be done to men, using the tools she mentions, with turpentine being the disinfectant.

Ok I think I get the idea... But even with me, who is definitely not well endowed, metal shears would take quite the effort. Giving me more of an opportunity to attempt to hinder the impromptu castration.... Wait are we talking taking of the ball sack? Still, box cutters would be more efficient.

You’d need to talk to the creator of the comic for more clarification, I can only present what I see.

You ever heard of the snip? Because that's what I think they're hinting at.
