I never understood why anyone would have their member voluntarily mutilated.
Stop all infant genital mutilation.
Not just circumcision but also de-intersex-ification.
When a baby is born with both types of genitals what usually happens is that the male ones are immediately removed and the person is raised as a woman. This is unethical. The infant cannot consent to being mutilated, it is an infant. Ban this barbaric practice.
Best we can do is punishing adults doing stuff consentually. Its the consent that makes it unethical.
religion is a poison
And culture to a point. My family is from India and places more importance on social standing and "what others think" than personal freedom or happiness. That's why I never have plans to tell my parents I'm gay. I see my uncles and aunts refuse to accept that their kids married non-Indians. I can only imagine how my parents would react to being a gay man.

oh hi vanta 👋 :)
Good to see these young heros fighting the good fight
This is exactly what I mean by the anti-circumcision movement might have a point in theory, but in reality it's a bunch of dudes who think they wouldn't have tiny dicks if not for the surgeon.
I know it's a "joke," but I also know damn well that these men actually believe this bullshit deep down.
It will forever be impossible for anyone who isn't deeply reddit-brained to take this cause seriously, at all. And it's a trojan horse to conservatism anyway.
Please let this bullshit stay on reddit.
how does Lemmy still somehow manage to infight over something as basic as saying child mutation is bad lol
Americans and their love for fondling with baby's dicks, I fucking swear. You don't even doing it because god loves foreskins, you do it because a rich fraud in the middle of the last century had repressed feelings about sex
I couldn't care less about the topic, personally. Do it or don't; you'll certainly never hear me out here pushing for it. But none of these losers were victims of some great tragedy. This is MRA messaging bullshit and I'm constantly sick of ostensibly left people falling in line with it.
I'm not saying circumcision is right, I'm saying on the list of issues that actually matter in the world and are worth the effort of "solving," circumcision is like #431253124324 on the list at best.
I've never understood it, even for religious reasons. It's not medically necessary, and it weakens your sex organ's ability to do the thing it is supposed to do.
It actually is medically necessary if the foreskin is too tight (phimosis). I had it done on the doctor's recommendation and my sex life life greatly improved. But this was as an adult, so not really the same thing.
Yeah, but that' super rare. Only around 0.6% of boys experience it before they're 15. Even if you're born with true pathological phimosis, circumcision is usually a last resort because topical steroids are safer and have a pretty high success rate.
"The incidence of pathological phimosis is 0.4 per 1000 boys per year or 0.6% of boys are affected by their 15th birthday."

Calling unnecessary circumcision of boys "genital mutilation" sounds frivolous because it makes it sound like you're placing it alongside FGM in terms of its effects and severity. But it is nevertheless genital mutilation, by just about any definition you care to put forward. The men living in the non-circumcision-crazed countries of the world aren't constantly having their blackened rotten cocks drop off from all the dick disease they're allegedly exposed to by having an intact penis, so I don't understand why you would feel the need to do this to your kid without a specific medical reason (of which there are very few that require surgical removal of the skin).
"But if you don't wash it, it gets dickcheese!" and the solution to that is slicing the fucking skin off of it? The clue is in the warning: wash it. Teach your sons to care for their wilberts. Telling them to lather up their bellend in the shower is hardly something that needs prompting anyway.
Personal/intimate hygiene should be part of regular schooling. Not even as part of sex ex, just "how to care for your vessel" kinda shit. Don't drink to excess, walk and move at least 10 minutes a day, stay away from illegal drugs, be careful with prescription drugs, and wash your bastard stinksausage.
“But if you don’t wash it, it gets dickcheese!”
did you know that when you don't wash your hands you get lot of dirt stuck behind your fingernails? i got an idea! maybe we should take a pair of pliers and take those off as well. does that sound reasonable? no? that's exactly how this "argument" makes me feel. when you don't wash it then it gets dirty so we'd better cut it off is some really dumb stuff...
As an American who wasn't circumcised, this country is so fucking weird about it. Like I got teased for it occasionally. People talk about hygiene, but from what I hear you're unlikely to find a guy who cleans his asshole but not his foreskin. Like, do what you want with your body, get circumcised if you want, bifurcate the thing if you want, I don't even have a dick anymore, but circumcising babies is taking that freedom away from them for reasons that always sound ludicrous to me.
And for the attractiveness thing, I've had exes who think foreskin is really hot, and personally I think dicks look super weird without it.

It's interesting that the pro circumcision crowd who rant about hygiene don't support girls having their labia cut off to prevent grime from accumulating between the folds. Circumcision should be reserved for actual medical reasons, like phimosis, and if possible at age of consent.
The "hygiene" argument just shows me how backwards Americans are
Have the stupid cunts not heard of soap?
As a young child I didn’t know I had to wash between my toes, and I got athletes foot.
If only a kind doctor had cut all my toes off when I was born.

stay away from illegal drugs
No, just be careful and make sure that you understand what you're doing.
6 inches forward, 5 inches back. I lost an angry inch.
I feel like I missed about 10 layers of context here… and I’m not sure I want them 😭
Americans still routinely mutilate baby boys, because they're stupid
