It should, but it won’t because every time someone tries to outlaw circumcision Jews will kvetch about it and call them a nazi

Damn. I’m not even an atheist and I agree with OP. Your take is just antisemitic.

We should take this a step further though. Any kind of genital mutilation should be illegal, including bottom surgery.

Damn I should tell my surgeon he mutilated me. And my other surgeon, who took out my tonsils, also mutilated me. My dental surgeon, the wisdom teeth removal - believe it or not, also mutilation. Don’t even get me started on my dad’s heart surgeon, that butcher.

Moron.

I’m sorry but yes, you should consider bottom surgery mutilation. There’s a difference between the other things but I’m sure you’re missing it.

It should be noted that some adults decide to receive bottom surgery and that’s respectable. It’s clear some people here don’t get the nuance.

Bottom surgery should only be illegal if it’s done nonconsensually. Adults should be able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn’t pose a significant risk to their health.

Fixed that for you. Don’t give conservatives ammo to legislate my right to tattoos away.

It’s not my take on it, it actually happened in Germany where both Muslims and Jews cried out that depriving them of their right to snip baby dicks is nazi persecution

It’s also happened in a few places in the US. Cities or states tried to outlaw the practice and religious communities screeched about not being allowed to carve up babies’ bodies.

Why does any kind of bottom surgery have to be illegal? Why not just limit it to consenting people above the age of majority?

Grouping bottom surgery with genital mutilation makes you sound like an alt-right troll, and it bugs me that this is well received on this website.

Edit: “I’m not even an atheist” means absolutely nothing. You’re just teaming up with an atheist in an online argument to bash Jews.

Whether you personally like it that way is irrelevant. It’s cosmetic surgery performed on people who cannot consent. You should oppose it for that reason alone.

How do you know you’re happy with it compared to not being circumcised?

Wouldn’t it be amazing if the head of your dick had some sensitivity?

permalink

I’m circumcised and I have plenty of sensitivity in the head of my dick. How would someone who isn’t circumcised know how much or how little sensitivity a circumcised dick has? And if uncut dudes are even more sensitive than cut, do you all have problems with premature ejaculation? I can’t imagine being any more sensitive. I’d be creaming just from wearing underwear and moving my body.

I’m not pro circumcision or anything, I’ve just always felt that the sensitivity thing is such a stupid, weak argument because in my experience of both being circumcised and also being pansexual and spending plenty of time around other dicks both cut and uncut, it’s bullshit.

Man idunno, I don’t have a problem with my dick (small as it may be), but it kinda bothers me that some doctor cut a piece of it off when I was a baby.

People aren’t against the option for adults to choose to get circumcised.

It is not antisemitism to think a single practice choice of a religion is bad.

A friend of mine has had lifelong complications from this unnecessary medical intervention on infants.

Agreed. I was being polite. There are a few very small number of times foreskin medically need removing but like any other ectamy there is chance of complications, so should only be done when absolutly needed.

As I said my mate was mutilated by it so bad he is unable to have full sex, which has both physical and mental scars on his life.

It doesn’t matter if people who believe in fake shit think it is an important part of their religion, it’s genital mutilation and it’s done to babies who do not consent.

It’s barbaric, disgusting and should be illegal.

Same. A lot of people throwing stones in here. Instead of being sympathetic for people who didnt have a choice in the matter they just are harsh and judgmental about it. I dont think they realize how it makes people who are circumcised feel. Whenever I read people making fun of it or throwing some harsh words about it, I do feel kind of shitty because it obviously wasnt my choice and I dont defend it. But they treat everyone who is circumcised instantly with judgment like we did this to ourselves and will defend the concept of it.

No one is blaming the babies that have been mutilated. If you had (part of) your penis chopped off against your will, no one is holding it against you. I’m sorry your parents were brainwashed into mutilating you. No one blames you. Don’t subject your sons to it and no one here has a problem with you.

Absolutely no reasonable person is blaming babies who didn’t have a choice.

Not at all. We’re judging the parents of everyone who is circumcised.
