Why does it exist.

There aren't any decent medical reasons insofar as I'm aware.

And the religious reasons are weirdly not very relevant, unless you're Jewish

Phimosis affects like 1% of people.

And it's usually curable without hacking off your peen

Dude, do we need to cut off your butthole because you don't know how to wash it

That's, to this day, the most irritating excuse I hear.

Let's be real. Any guy is going to notice smegma before anyone else.

How long can you go without fapping.

I am one, so yes.

Sounds like some feminist shit, tbh.

Yeah. Sounds like some female bullshittery.

'Men barely notice anything'

Is this what feminists mean when they say, 'internalized misogyny'

Nigga you got internalized mansogyny

Misandry, I was making a joke.

Like women cite 'internalized misogyny'

He's sounding like he's got internalized misandry.

I think it's real, but over-prescribed.

I've seen men with what could only be described as the opposite.

I'll find an example. I saw one on quora, I think

Well, not quora, but one example:

https://www.datalounge.com/thread/12954009-i-think-i-have-anger-issues-towards-my-parents-for-having-me-circumcised.-

Dude feels some resentment toward parents for circumcision, other guys are telling him he's nuts.

There aren't medical reasons, tho. Unless you have severe phimosis

_real_ severe

Doctors recommend shit all the time they shouldn't.

The American Pediatric Society condones circumcision. That's _obviously_ a retarded recommendation for the general population.

They even hide botch-jobs by calling it 'concealed penis'

It is insane to me that it's still accepted.

And beside the constant barrage of feminist rhetoric in the media it's just downright disgusting.

There are too many fuckin' beta-ass men on the planet.

All catering to the whim of women even when approaching lunacy.

Then disregarding issues pertaining to men.

Which?

Feminism is _all over_ the media. Even in movies.

Subliminally and overtly.

I mean ... yeah maybe it's a small minority, but it's a loud influence online and in media.

Disagree hard.

Bro, have you seen any movie made in the last decade.

That's a weird qualifier.

'Unreasonable degree'

Sure, why not. I'll link a video.

He has other videos about it too.

Feminism _is_ bad. It becomes ideological when it gets to the point that it isn't _humanism_.

Not that _all_ feminists are bad.

Pfflol.

Invoking, 'equality' is a shield. Feminism's misandry is embedded in the movement itself.

Look at feminism in the 1970s.

Andrea ... what's her fuckin' name.

Dworkin.

This is like saying communism is fine because it began with a good idea.

I see the problem.

I disagree. I see what you're doing though. The whole centrism thing.

I believe affiliation with any ideological movement is a betrayal of truth.

You can find the truth in overlapping ideology, but the moment you're a 'feminist' you're adopting a specific -- easily corrupted -- lens.

I prefer a larger multifocal approach and cultivating truth in that way.

I think people that have collective identities are susceptible to evil.

People should improve _themselves_ and fight against evils in their own lives instead of forming collective identities and excusing their own inaction with slacktivism.

Far too much of it.

Niggas caring about the environment and shit without watching the products they buy. Hating on McDonald's, but buying their garbage. Complaining about pollution, but probably aren't composting their waste.

There are people that choose to try to better themselves, tho.

And people that don't (i.e. most, unless you're speaking financially)

People think the only way to 'better' themselves is money and a social media following.

2018 fuckin' sucks.

You're right.

But I believe it's getting worse.

Hedonism is just fuckin' acceptable now. Big companies are to blame for everything, while individuals are to blame for virtually nothing.

Meanwhile, people buying apple products and using google are fueling the mapping of the limbic system -- as Elon Musk eloquently phrased it.

We're living on an island of placated ignorance, sewing our own destruction, while denying we're to blame for any of it.

Even political divide, which is the point I think this other guy was trying to make ...

People are too dumb to see through it. One side assumes the worst of the other, casting aspersions and the other side follows suit.

He's got a point, I just think it's stupid to call yourself two extremes _and_ a centrist.

It's like calling yourself a Republican-Democrat-Centrist.

I revoke any claims to social identity. Even 'Anarchist' comes with connotations I don't agree with since it's been co-opted by leftist faggotry.

Anarchist? One of my tags is Anarchist.

Or wait, you mean on the left?

Oh, he's making the claim he's both feminist and men's rights activist

I'm drawing a parallel to Dem-Repub

Lemon

The ideal scenario is temporarily being able to don lenses, but not being beholden to any of them.

This is where that quote comes from that I'm going to fuck-up: the mark of a smart-boy is to be able to entertain an idea he disagrees with

This is true. Most people aren't even aware they're gazing through a lens.

Do people have ideas, or do ideas have people?

Generally the people that believe that aren't really aware of what religion is supposed to be as opposed to what mainstream religion is.

I used to be a militant atheist. I'm still non-denominational.

Then I learned what metaphor is.

Yeah, I agree with that.

Organized/mainstream religion is insanely gay.

Religion is supposed to be a generational pursuit of truth and it tends to be written in a way that's difficult to decipher due to sheer age and how people conceptualized.

So is science.

Science is highly fallible, yet people claim it _is_ the word of God. Here, we'll change a few things so you understand my perspective.

God is the unalterable forces operating in the universe, the 'truth' of the universe.

Religion also knows its fallibe.

Many religious people say, 'the bible was written by man'
