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’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
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.
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.
oh i see the casual ever present, repeated, antisemitism has found it’s way over from reddit. great. just great.
I’m continually surprised at the list of things that are “antisemitic” now.
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.
No comment on gential mutilation, but that picture just put the uncomfortable phase of “meat straw” into my head. Thank you for that gift.
My wife is European Jewish but not religious. I’m Hispanic. The number of her relatives who asked us about or had an opinion about our baby’s penis was infuriating and alarming. I got a bit harsh with my replies after a while and they clued in and shut up about it.
Broke the cycle with my son. It was insane the amount of people who didn’t even belong to a religion that this is a symptom of, who were pushy about me having it performed. If my son wants to be cut, he can make that decision for himself later in life. All of the atheists I know, were the ones that were anti-mutilation.
I’m from muslim family but atheist and have nothing against it. Like, it is just operation that become too popular at some point. Or was forced on people to prevent an epidemy of some sort. It is still recommended across many surgeons at least as far as i know. It is just easier to recover from when you are younger. Similar to recovering from smallpox.
I am surprised by amount of negativity on this sub. Like it is almost impossible to have a decent conversation. People just go nuts about operation which is about hygiene. Good luck, guys. I just don’t see myself here
If my son wants to be cut
Why the hell would he want to? If there’s no medical reason, there’s no reason at all.
At that point, he would be an adult making a decision. It doesn’t matter why for us in regards to his choice. Maybe he becomes religious or succumbs to social pressure. He could get a Prince Albert, too, or those weird beads.
As a parent it’s their job to protect him from harmful societal norms and religious indoctrination until he becomes an adult. Hopefully the education sticks long enough for him to deeply understand and respect his body, to seek out more helpful mentorship when needed, and pass along that education and protection to his future potential children.
It’s not that I disagree, I just can’t imagine anyone who’s not broken in the brain to want this.
Tell that to the chick who turned herself into Barbie or those twins that did… whatever it was to themselves and thought it looked anything but horrifying.
Yes, I’m straight up saying they’re objectively ugly af. Don’t even care if that’s some kind of discrimination. They’re just dumb, they made a stupid mistake, and I don’t even think they’ve admitted it to themselves yet.
They had every right to do it though. It was just a bad idea in every single humanly possible way.
