    Yeah, men aren’t allowed to talk about it. If we do, we’re questioning doctors, so we look stupid, and we’re questioning women, who all (in my experience) say they aesthetically prefer it, so we look sexist. We’re never going to win with that opposition. That’s why it’s not even a topic of discussion. It’s been decided for us, and we didn’t get a vote.

    That why they do it to us as babies, so we can’t fight it. If they waited, we’d NEVER do it.

      Circumcision being medical is almost entirely an excuse by religious people. Cases where it is needed are rare (although additionally there are cases where it is not needed but is one of the possible solutions) and most of these cases are later in life where the person can provide informed consent.

      What the fuck? How is that sexist? Just because Amerikkkan women who are used to it prefer it because it’s what they see as normal (In saner countries where infant genital mutilation is rarer women tend to prefer uncut because it’s what’s normal there) doesn’t mean that it should be done. Your body your choice. That’s equivalent to saying that women refusing to try to try to sexually appeal to men as much as possible is misandry.
