      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.

      Hi again. I was going to drop this, but since you are still tweeting about it 😉 I just want to leave this right here. This page does a good job of summing of some of the anatomical point intactivists make regarding physical benefits of keeping foreskin:https://www.foregen.org/human_foreskin

      https://circumcisionmovie.com  does an excellent job pointing flaws in medical studies w respect to sensitivity, and it’s not wrong to see this as a human rights issue

          Little basis in fact? I was circumcised at 13 years old and the level of sensation was decreased in a dramatic and irreparable way from before being circumcised. At least I had the ability to consent to the the medically necessary procedure (in my case), unlike infants.

          that flies in the face of several studies that were done comparing circumcised and uncircumcised men that found no differences in sensation

          no just anecdotal.

          True, however there is room for error in any procedure, why open oneself up to error when something isnt a necessity. That is my point. Sure circumcision has no negative consequences for many people, but for many there are consequences, both severe and minor.

          Many people don't think there are negative consequences. However it strains reality to think that there are no negative consequences to an entirely unnecessary surgery on a child's genitals. Barring actual medical need, an intact body is a human right.

          The United States is an outlier when it comes to how widespread the practice is, how strongly the medical community supports it, but even AAP stops short of recommending routine circumcisions for all male newborns

          The right to decide which body parts you keep is propaganda to you? Good to know

          You seem to be the one pushing propaganda. Somehow mutilating penises is fine because "it's not that bad"... How about drop being a sexist bigot?

          You haven't watched it, have you? If by "slate article" you mean the (LA Times) article headed "It was good enough for Jesus" well, so was crucifixion. That 2012 article has no science either. This is not about science but human rights.

          Slate? That's your idea of "actual science"? Maybe try an actual journalhttps://academic.oup.com/ije/article/40/5/1367/658163 …
