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.
That's great it did, I'm surprised there no accusations of paedophilia and such though, 'why are you so concerned with little kids genitals' etc, even when you're against anything being done to them x_x
Good luck with the responses mate
Thanks. I'll share the tweet here if it starts getting attention. Going to post it from my public profile.
Sounds good
I'm going to post my infant circumcision awareness tweet in this channel. Just a heads up, it contains a video of one being performed. You can't see much of anything unless you click on it though.
If you have a Twitter, do sure to be supporting the efforts here! ^^^^
Possibly, it will still catch on.
I hope so. Don't pin your hopes on it getting as much as one about FGM though, we can't be at that point yet. But every thing like this helps to spread more awareness and conversation about MGM
@Carter This is a good idea. We need to confront people the way that people protesting animal abuse do.
But except not be seen as conspiracy theorists or crazies buying into liberal propaganda. We need to create logically sound but emotional signs for protesting. No screaming. We need to seem logical and not crazy @Men Are Human
Too true. We have to be better than the opposition, though that's not too hard. Lol. @coocoodog123
**Andrew Yang, a 2020 US presidential candidate, just declared he was against routine infant circumcision!**
Here is a post I created on the mens rights subreddit announcing this if you want to comment and upvote - https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/b0rcgx/2020_us_presidential_candidate_andrew_yang_just/
@Carter I haven't heard much about them before, but then I'm not up to speed about the next US election. Is he an independant? Is he likely to garner support?
He is a frontrunner democrat offering Universal Basic Income (UBI) of $1000/month as his main campaign promise.
Very popular among millennials and below
Lol literally trying to buy the election
