the N is so distinct and separate from the rest... and the rest is obviously supposed to form a circle

its artistically confusing, yes

and thats an M

Child Genital Mutilation

Oh I can see the gap at the bottom now

Found this on the intactiviem Discord: https://www.reddit.com/r/Parenting/comments/avff24/our_son_is_upset_about_circumcision_and_we_dont

Be nice to them if you go over there.

Looks like there are still quite a few ignorant comments.

I got really tired of the, "There are more important things to worry about," attitude concerning circumcision.

Exactly.

Some great arguments there.

Coming out and saying that may as well be an endorsement of infant MGM. Certainly won't be contributing to their cause.

I would encourage anyone who wants to let them know how harmful this practice is *politely* to please do so

Pretty disgusting. The source is this: https://newsroom.uw.edu/postscript/study-male-circumcision-protects-women-stis-cancer

That is not the correct response to women not getting vaccinations imo.

Yeah.

Extremely disturbing

Ugh

interesting read.

I will never get a circumcision ever again

although I stand with their idea, shouldn't the dude make the decision, not the mother?

Definitely not for my kids if I ever have kids

I understand their position and why they think it should be chosen at birth, but they make it sound like the only time you can have a circumcision is when you came out of the womb an hour ago

That's probably the only time a guy is going to let them is when he's defenseless and just born.

yeah

Do they even do anything to numb it or relieve the pain ?

idk, I don't think so

In some cases they give the baby sugar and clamp it. I think some do full anesthetize, or numb the area, but it's still going to hurt the baby a lot when that wears off - and that's something that most people forget about. Surgery hurts for days or weeks after it is performed.

It's mostly nerve blocks and other analgesics. Up until 97 only 46% of those who did circumcisions used any pain management according to a study given to the NIH.

If you can give me that study for my files that would be really good.

I want to rip the lid off this this thing.

A few video's of girls being circumcised in Somalia were posted to twitter a few weeks ago. They were brutal, but they got huge metrics and generated immense awareness.
Right now, I'm downloading male infant circumcision videos off Youtube and seeing if I can expose the reality through this same avenue.

Oof. I've seen one myself and don't want to watch another. I try to make the argument that people should educate themselves, but there's a massive unwillingness for people to do so.

I hear you. Watching a video is almost a necessary element of the education process though for many individuals to understand it is genital torture and mutilation.

Otherwise, it is simply too abstract

On twitter, although I would have thought differently, many were watching the video's of girls getting circumcised.
