On circumcision, 'intactivists' are just wrong - latimes http://www.latimes.com/la-oe-allen-anti-circumcision-activists-20120812,0,2269752.story … The notion that circumcision reduces a man's sexual sensitivity has little basis in fact. Obsession with penis is the issue of the men in movement & their sex life.

That is not true. I worked as a hospital based birth Doula for 18 years we are opposed to a surgery that is not needed without benefits that can harm new born babies. Circumcision also impacts breastfeeding and most the world does not do it.
-
Look, we all have our own professional opinions. I preferred not to circumcise my son, but I left the decision up to his Dad and my husband felt it would be socially advantageous. You have to fight the battles you need to win.
-
How would society change if everyone just continued doing it bc it was 'socially advantageous'? I mean... You're just leaving it up to "it's the cultural norm so let's remove bits of our baby." FGM was excused the same way. It's not good enough for girls; why is it for boys?
-
At what point is that fight worth fighting? At what point is cosmetic surgery on babies worth objecting to with something resembling conviction? I mean FFS circumcision was popularized as an anti-masturbatory aid -- same as female circumcision -- way back by Kellog.

The medical benefits show up inconsistently and seem to be most prevalent in regions where regular bathing is nonexistent. That seems like a pretty pathetic benefit to me. Especially when the operation can cause severe damage to and even kill the child.

Please read this thread by a Yale/Oxford grad who specializes in medical ethics and come back later. Also, you being a *legitimate* circumcision fetishist should not be calling us "foreskin fetishists". You look ridiculous.https://twitter.com/briandavidearp/status/1078529309478838272 …

You're inexcusably and willfully wrong. Circumcision isn't required to correct phimosis. Proper cleaning practices prevent the infection issues the Dr. mentioned. Please stop advocating for a gross invasion of the bodily autonomy of ANY infant.

how about this, grow a penis and you can decide how much foreskin it has. otherwise, leave other peoples bodies alone. not your body, not your choice.

My objection to vaccine mandates relates to manufacturers having little liability for their products (NCVIA 1986, reinforced by 2011 SCOTUS case). Considering Big Pharma's track record when they do have responsibility, I can see why parents resist. It isn't ALL about science.
