I don’t know about “meanie,” but she is a mutilator.
Love Brother K, I have protested with him a couple of times.
Kind of a weird thing to decide to become
no type of circumcision is good.
I bet that hurts a lot
It's like a sick fetish
What type of mutilation will i give my son?
Well tbh guy I think a oit of parents, especially before the 90s, did it primarily as a religious thing
I know its still an bad thing but many people in abusive marriages used the same reasoning to stay together. Their church was against divorce.
I'm not trying to excuse it I'm just saying they probably didn't have any sinister intentions.
the vast majority of circumcision in the US has been for non-religious reasons going back over 100 years
its never been the majority in the US
I haven't seen numbers but I would bet serious money its never been more than 20%
and today hovers below 10%
I think you're wrong
well Judaism accounts for less than 3% of the US population
isn't Judaism is the only religion that advocates circumcision for religious reasons?
Circumcision is a social norm in the US
Islam does as well, kind of, but my personal research seems to say it's not actually mandated as such, just recommended, and Muhammad was circumcised
I'm trying to find some numbers on 'reasons' for circumcision, but I guess they don't even ask?
found some stats that circumcision is in decline in the US, which is nice
but still about 50% of newborns are being circumcised according to the CDC
0.7% Reduction of UTI risk in boys, from 1.8% to 1.1%. The UTI risk in girls in 6.6%
Protection from Penile Cancer, which occurs at a rate of .0014% Each year
Help protect women from HPV, which with Gardasil is now irrelevant
Phimosis, Balanitis and balanoposthitis are numbers I do not know
But even with a complication rate of circumcision on the extreme conservative side of 2% I do not see this being a net positive like doctors claim.
It prevents those because they are conditions that can't exist without a foreskin afaik, but generally we don't tend to remove functioning parts of the human body if they dont act exactly as intended, we treat them
Edit: just to be clear for anyone reading I was refereeing to the phimosis and ballentitis part of the list
Obviously I'm going to agree with you being where we are, most of these conditions do not even require any antibiotics, just TLC and careful washing to resolve.
Phimosis occurs in .6% of boys by their 15th birthday
To me the 100% of boys who go through an invasive, painful surgery needs some clear HIGH numbers to justify it's continued practice. None of these afflictions are life-threatening in any way to warrant going under the knife.
especially at such a young age with no consent and zero symptoms
Somehow when you present people with this evidence though, they become violent and irrational
Either they don't have a penis, or don't want to believe they've been diminished in any way.
I can see how it would be an upsetting thing, it would be to anyone which is why I'm so against it being done so people can avoid that pain and damage as well as the loss of sensitivity and pain as a baby and later psychological damage. But people need to know that they are not defined *as a person* by what someone else chose to do to them
How's this meme I made?
👍 nice job mate
