Gonna hit yall with that controversial subject™ Parents who circumsize their children are fucking sick. And also why is female genital mutilation seen as an awful thing but male genital mutilation isnt? They'lre both absolutely fucking awful things to FORCE onto your children

No. My parents are not sick for having me circumcised. I would have a problem with them if they *didn't* have me circumcised. This is a significant religious custom that you're clearly not familiar with and you're calling it "mutilation." Stay off 4chan.

That & also not being circumcised requires specific knowledge about hygiene that you need to be taught. Usually by your father. So if your father and his father and his father were all circumcised and you're not, if no one goes out of their way to help you infections will abound.

(god this is awkward) Yeah I never even considered this. Coming from a Jewish family, obviously this never even came up. But yeah, it's obviously important to stick with your traditions when it concerns something so private. Blowing it up into a moralistic outrage is absurd.

There was a famous case where a boy wasn't circumcised & he got an infection so the mom took him to get circumcised as a baby & the Dr. botched it and removed his whole penis. They tried to raise him as a girl & just not tell him. Read the book in college https://www.amazon.com/As-Nature-Made-Him-Raised-ebook/dp/B00AXXUB2G …

But the same point applies. Because they didn't know how to deal with the infections it caused problems.

I read about this. Makes me wince that surgeons still manage to occasionally screw up a 5,000 year old procedure that rabbis manage with simple tools. Thankfully plastic surgery has come quite a long way since.

Though I thought the bigger point with this case study was how it demonstrated that sexuality it not, as was foolishly assumed, tied entirely to the presence or absence of a penis (and also a kick in the face to Skinner and others who thought behaviorism was everything).

Yes that was the point of the book in general. But in reference to this topic, it all happened because of a lack of knowledge about uncircumcised boys and also the process of circumcision.
