Genital mutilation under the guise of “easier to clean” is stupid. Cutting off your legs also makes them easier to clean.

What's even funnier to me is how people will full on rage when someone brings up female genital mutilation while in the same breath saying circumcision is fine

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (3 children)

The main problem is that people tend to intuitively think of the least invasive form of male circumcision and the most horrific form of female genital mutilation.

For both genders, all kinds of forms exist

I've seen people lose their shit over babies with pierced ears and young children getting tattoos. There's all sorts of dental work you go through as a kid that you have functionally no control over.

Even had someone chew me out because a foster kid I was taking care of got a haircut (three years old and she'd literally never had one before).

At some point, it is the parent's duty to take care of the child, and that extends to medical decisions with profound long-term consequences. I get wanting to change the culture, but the degree to which people exaggerate the harm of circumcision struggles to eclipse the degree to which it is defended.

Cutting off your legs also makes them easier to clean.

There is some substantive utility to legs that doesn't extend to the bit of flesh around the tip of your dick.

Honestly, can you elaborate on what would be a justified reason to do it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (8 children)

I mentioned in another comment how circumcision dramatically reduces the rate of spread of STDs. That is, at least from my perspective, the primary (and original) incentive to circumcise. Significantly less of an issue now, because you can just get a condom. But in areas where access to a consumer profilactic isn't readily available or one in which STD infection is high, it would make a great deal of sense to perform the surgery as a preventative measure.

Same as giving your kid vaccine shots or putting them in the NICU for the first few weeks of their life or demanding that they wash their hands regularly.

Yeah but as a dad, i don’t like legs. I want my kid to look like me. I was amputated voluntarily. Legs get dirty anyway.

Actually, why not just cut off the penis and replace it with a tube? That’s a lot cleaner and still functional!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (4 children)

If this is /s its verry funny and asys somthing interesting, im frustrated that the thread has fallen into a false dichotomy,

Its not 'not okay' in the same way its 'not okay' to cut off someones leg because thats unamniguiosly being crippled. (Good spoof though!) its amniguiosly immoral.

Are you confident you understand what gentials are?

What about your understanding of consent?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Its when you're not jewish.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Yes, you are correct. Only jewish people have genitals. Thank you for playing.

Only jewish people have genitals.

I'm sorry, what's up bro?

I don't really care. My dick works great, I wouldn't do this to my kids but my parents trusted the doctor. I still love my parents anyway.

E: also, this illustrated girl looks really weird, and this is a really weird conversation. Real women do not look like this, and I wouldn't get naked in front of a girl who looked like this. Eeesh.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

oh, the parents? for the most part unknowing, the doctor on the other hand? ya, hate him

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

Supposedly is super safe and has health benefits, I once compared it to female genital mutilation and ooh boy was I corrected.

Edit: the above is far from an endorsement. Some of yall could use some practice critical reading.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (24 children)

If you were uncircumcised now, would you choose to have it done at your current age? No. Then, why do it to a baby without their consent? It’s a bodily autonomy issue.

There's health benefits to removing the appendix and tonsils too - so why isn't it done wholesale on every kid born?

Because it's fucking barbaric chopping bits of you up without necessity.

On top of that as science has progressed - guess what? They think both the tonsils and appendix have a purpose. They're important for immunity.

But there was never a fucking doubt that the foreskin has a purpose in human beings. So the removal of it for "health benefits" really is scraping the fucking barrel.

As an American who’s uncut… there’s a scar?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What's fucked is I had no idea that was a scar until I was well into adulthood.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

This is something I do not wish to google. Is it noticeable? I would assume a small surgical cut that occurs at infancy leaves no significant scar

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Not to be crude but this pretty much is what I'm talking about. It's almost like having a two toned penis...

NSFW btw... Although it is just a drawing

Ok wait the rest of this is important but sidebar, my peehole is called a MEATUS??

Wow the frenulum gets removed as well sometimes? What an outdated and ridiculous thing to be doing to children for absolutely no good reason. Yeah sure, some studies show it improves hygiene I've been told. To me that's about as proportionate as removing all your healthy teeth so you don't get cavities in the future...

It is the number one cause of Two-Tone-Malone.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Let's just say there is a definitive line where what once was my foreskin now just is a smooth piece of skin connected by another. I wouldn't call it a scar because like I said I had no idea it was not normal. There's definitely a noticeable difference between the top part and the rest of it. I'm not sure how else to put this delicately. Honestly, I would just google it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Unacceptable. Upload a pic of the tip of your dick pls.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean if you really want it I'll do it. It's just anatomy. Plus I have a wide angle lens...

I mean I’ve seen lots of porn and never noticed anything that looked like a scar, but then again I don’t typically focus on the dick.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

As a rampant homosexual who's done lots of dick-focused study - there's a scar and it has different levels of noticability. Some are faint, some jagged, some with mismatched colours, some bright red, etc.

Like any scar it can be very variable.

The Only Thing They Fear is Foreskin

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Not sure how badly you want it back, but it is possible to restore. Non-sugically. Basically skin under tension causes Mitosis (skin cells dividing to make more skin) - think putting on weight, gaining muscle, getting pregnant, or ear gauges. You tug the skin long enough and eventually have your hoodie back. The results are surprisingly impressive. r/restoring_foreskin has a bunch of info

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's not gonna restore the nervous system bits associated.

bruh. I don't necessarily want it back and was just angry about the fact that it was taken from without my consent in the first place. But thanks for the info anyway, tho not sure what I'm gonna do with it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Hmmm, perhaps we can play tug of war with foreskins lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

My mother used to hate it when people would get baby girls' ears pierced. Called it child abuse and mutilation.

I'm circumcised.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Damn. That's pretty fucking shit.
