I mean, if this is what it takes to stop the real child mutilations by surgeon... Then, yes Mr president, circumcisions increase autism. Ban circumcisions on children please.

    I hate that most of the discourse on circumcision got hijacked by the right, it's a shame because it's a legitimate thing.

    It's what the right does. Hijack leftist talking points. Remember when eating non-pesticide drenched vegetables was seen as looney leftism?

    Being on the left just means you're a right winger 25 years too early.

    Hell, screw pesticide drenched veggies being looney, they straight up used just eating veggies as a slur. Being called a vegan was legitimately a slur they used. Now they’re on some maha no food dye, no seed oils, mocking the liver king shit. It’s crazy how they can just flip to the other side of a topic and still go so far it scares reasonable people far away.

    I wish the left talked about the issue more tbh

    Fits nicely with bodily autonomy and abortions. Plus it's just a barbaric practice in general.

    I swear to god if rightoids don’t stop blathering about circumcision we’re gonna cut every damn dick off, the whole goddamned thing not just the foreskin. We’re gonna go Maladjusted Right Wing Dad on the issue and say “if you can’t stop obsessing over a little bit of penis we’re taking the entire penis away. Every penis.”

    For a while in my late teens I lived with my gf, her grandma and her grandma's awful new boyfriend. One day the awful new boyfriend's son that i didnt even know about showed up unannounced to confront his dad over having been circumcised. This was a bit before anti circumcision guys were a big thing, and he was born in the early 80s. I can totally get being upset that your dick got sliced when you were a baby, thats fucked up, but driving really far to confront your dad about it 30 years later doesnt seem productive, its not like hes been keeping it.

    Kennedy is probably having memories of growing up in the Apollo era, where everything seemed possible. He probably imagined that the teen males of the future would have 3 times the testosterone of his generation, and yet, here we are at 1/3. We have to do something, anything!!!

    I expected it to end differently than mandatory penis enhancement for every white male on their 16th and 23rd birthdays.

    Honestly if this gets people to stop circumcising babies, that's a positive
