Because I consider that mutilation, not rape. There are too many people right now trying to lump all sorts of actions under the heading of rape, both blurring and diluting its meaning.

In a court of law, where the definition of rape is most relevant, inserting an object into a person's vagina or anus is considered sexual assault, not rape. I would advocate forced to penetrate be added to that definition, but not circumcision.

I am as anti-circumcision as an Intactivist can be. I just don't consider it rape.

If it doesn't matter, why hide the answer?

I haven't. And don't. But I'm pretty sure you're about to tell me my opinion here is irrelevant as the owner of a uterus, because I disagree with you.

No. I'm supportive of your opinion as relevant to your voice, experience, and even genetic marker. Your opinion relevance ends, however, when you womansplain away a man's voice for his own experience and genetic marker.

Didn't say anything about a man's experience. Or his voice. I was talking about the definition of a word. Men can be raped. 'Forced to penetrate/forced envelopment' should be added to the legal definition of rape. More should be done to help male victims of rape.

Circumcision is a human right's violation, mutilation, assault, and should be illegal outside of a therapeutic context, and even then, should be considered an absolute last resort. And I don't consider it rape. I actually think it's worse than rape.

I would rather be raped than circumcised.
