      Tricky one, tricky. It’s very doubtful but maybe it’s possible for them to do that when they are busy raping little girls…?

    I mean I’m all for ending circumcision, but being a fellow acetaminophen-american, I can certainly say it does not appear to be a factor for me being that I’m not cut.

    It seems very strange that lacking foreskin would have a relationship to executive functioning in the brain, but I’m not an expert like they claim to be.

        There’s conclusive evidence that male Trump supporters think stunted thoughts, so draw your own conlcusions from that.

    If this is a round about way to banning genital mutilation except for doctors reasons then I guess they can have this one.

      I know a lot of folks are against circumcision, but my old boss was 78 and had to be circumcized cuz the sheath lost its elasticity and he couldn’t pee and yea that’s an old person issue but man. I’m just glad they did it when I was too young to remember. He was not a happy camper

        Sure, but the same can be said about pretty much anything. If I were to get bone cancer in my left arm, I’d rather have had it amputated when I was a baby than today. Recovery always sucks.

        As far as I know, people are against forced circumcision. It boils down to mutilating someone, usually a kid, preemptively for… reasons. I don’t think anyone care about medically mandated procedure.

    Ngl I thought this was a stroke headline. These are a whole bunch of unrelated topics strung together in a sentence with Elmer’s glue.

          Well…

          nsfw

          My wife and I have definitely very much enjoyed the process of me acquiring the intimate familiarity I have with the matching area of her anatomy, but if I started calling that a foreskin my access pass would likely be revoked faster than you can say “and you can kiss goodbye to… wait, no, you canNOT kiss goodbye”

        female genital mutilation was practiced in the USA, and thankfully banned, for the same reasons male genital mutilation should be.

          If I had boys, there’s no way I would agree to them being circumcised at all, but you need to know that FGM is much, much worse than circumcision. Most circumcised men can perform happily sexually, but need lube to masturbate. Not so women who have endured FGM.

          There are 4 main types of FGM:

          type 1 (clitoridectomy) – removing part or all of the clitoris

          This is the equivalent of removing the glans or dickhead. Its purpose is to remove pleasure from sex.

          type 2 (excision) – removing part or all of the clitoris and the inner labia (the lips that surround the vagina), with or without removal of the labia majora (the larger outer lips)

          Includes 1

          type 3 (infibulation) – narrowing the vaginal opening by creating a seal, formed by cutting and repositioning the labia

          This makes sex very painful. There isn’t a deliberate equivalent for men, but men with severe phimosis also experience pain. Phimosis is usually treatable without surgery, and even after surgery (circumcision) sex is pleasurable. Paraphimosis is an urgent medical emergency where the foreskin is trapped behind the glans, cutting off blood supply, but no one is doing phimosis or paraphimosis to people deliberately.

          other harmful procedures to the female genitals, including pricking, piercing, cutting, scraping or burning the area

          I.e. botched, deliberately or accidentally.

          So…

          The normal outcome of circumcision, “I wish wanking were easier” isn’t the same as the normal outcome of FGM, “I wish sex wasn’t traumatisingly painful”.

          Pretending that circumcision is as bad as, or equivalent to FGM, or even that they’re bad for the same reason, REALLY undermines your case to the point of making you look heartless or ill-informed.

            I had actually researched both types of genital mutilation and “corrective” mutilation of intersex folks; and totally agree with what you’re saying. I didn’t mean to justify FGM in any capacity. I can’t speak to the effects of MGM or FGM exactly, but I find the idea of mutilating the genitals of someone unable to consent for aesthetic or “religious” reasons absolutely vile. I wasn’t trying to pick favorites here. I would not want FGM to be legal, even if MGM remained legal; or vise-versa.

    That’s a clever way of bringing it back to the Jews. Good job. Pro move. It’s always antisemitism, even when you didn’t think they could find a way.
