Only if you ignore that the word emasculation originally meant castration, and the modern use is still a metaphor for that. There might not be a female equivalent term because hysterectomy is a more modern procedure and much less common or acceessible.
Good points, and it actually leads us to the words “hysteria” and “hysterical,” which were the words recently used to describe a (sexist and incorrect) emotional distress based on the possession of a uterus. Which would… kind of support, by being the inverse of, what OP is saying.
