Stop all infant genital mutilation.

Not just circumcision but also de-intersex-ification.

When a baby is born with both types of genitals what usually happens is that the male ones are immediately removed and the person is raised as a woman. This is unethical. The infant cannot consent to being mutilated, it is an infant. Ban this barbaric practice.

Best we can do is punishing adults doing stuff consentually. Its the consent that makes it unethical.

And culture to a point. My family is from India and places more importance on social standing and "what others think" than personal freedom or happiness. That's why I never have plans to tell my parents I'm gay. I see my uncles and aunts refuse to accept that their kids married non-Indians. I can only imagine how my parents would react to being a gay man.

Calling unnecessary circumcision of boys "genital mutilation" sounds frivolous because it makes it sound like you're placing it alongside FGM in terms of its effects and severity. But it is nevertheless genital mutilation, by just about any definition you care to put forward. The men living in the non-circumcision-crazed countries of the world aren't constantly having their blackened rotten cocks drop off from all the dick disease they're allegedly exposed to by having an intact penis, so I don't understand why you would feel the need to do this to your kid without a specific medical reason (of which there are very few that require surgical removal of the skin).

"But if you don't wash it, it gets dickcheese!" and the solution to that is slicing the fucking skin off of it? The clue is in the warning: wash it. Teach your sons to care for their wilberts. Telling them to lather up their bellend in the shower is hardly something that needs prompting anyway.

Personal/intimate hygiene should be part of regular schooling. Not even as part of sex ex, just "how to care for your vessel" kinda shit. Don't drink to excess, walk and move at least 10 minutes a day, stay away from illegal drugs, be careful with prescription drugs, and wash your bastard stinksausage.

“But if you don’t wash it, it gets dickcheese!”

did you know that when you don't wash your hands you get lot of dirt stuck behind your fingernails? i got an idea! maybe we should take a pair of pliers and take those off as well. does that sound reasonable? no? that's exactly how this "argument" makes me feel. when you don't wash it then it gets dirty so we'd better cut it off is some really dumb stuff...

As an American who wasn't circumcised, this country is so fucking weird about it. Like I got teased for it occasionally. People talk about hygiene, but from what I hear you're unlikely to find a guy who cleans his asshole but not his foreskin. Like, do what you want with your body, get circumcised if you want, bifurcate the thing if you want, I don't even have a dick anymore, but circumcising babies is taking that freedom away from them for reasons that always sound ludicrous to me.

And for the attractiveness thing, I've had exes who think foreskin is really hot, and personally I think dicks look super weird without it.

Kinda fucked up how people basically ignore the fact that we do genital mutilation in America.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (11 children)

Really fucked up that if you call it genital mutilation or the sexual assault of a child people will push back against it and defend the act.

Good to see these young heros fighting the good fight

Do you know why UK men are rarely circumcized when it's the norm in the U.S?

At some point the UK government decided that circumcision wouldn't be covered by the national health insurance.

And just like that. It went out of fashion.

I'm sure the greedy U.S insurance companies would be more than happy to stop covering that service.

Fight fire with fire.

Get the insurance companies to stop covering it. And we can finally save boys from being mutilated.

What do you call a discount circumcision?

A ripoff.

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Its like 10 in² removed by circumcision. Not necessarily length or girth from your dick. But 10 in² of incredibly sensitive skin on your sex organ.

I feel like I missed about 10 layers of context here… and I’m not sure I want them 😭

Americans still routinely mutilate baby boys, because they're stupid
