Replying to @LLW90210
have you listened to the Dollop episode the cereal men? I had no idea circumcision in the US was so heavily linked to the anti-onanist policies of the 7th day adventist movement. sorry to reference a comedy podcast but that's the only way I can learn about history

Historical reasons for circumcision are dumb but that doesn’t mean the procedure is comparable to being raped

It's at the very least sexual violence. Isn't that what rape is, too?

this argument is destined for a big brawl in the ugly pit of semantics. talk to individuals who were circumcised as infants about their experience, and then talk to rape survivors about theirs. the world is not built on dictionary definitions.

Talk to individuals who were raped as infants about their experience, and then talk to forced circumcision survivors about theirs. False equivalence. And before you say it, yes, there are men being forcefully circumcised against their will.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2715741/A-dozen-men-ambushed-stripped-naked-forced-undergo-circumcisions-Kenya-wives-complained-not-good-bed-circumcised-men.html …

dudes, I've already stated that I disagree with circumcision practices. I am well aware about the violent horrors perpetrated around the world. I am not defending genital mutilation. the concept of young bodies being altered without consent makes me queasy. like, totally with you

Replying to @aprphrl @LyraSAndPan and
but you must understand that there is a very common practise of male circumcision for infants of millions of families that clearly has not had the same psychological effect that being raped might have had on a child, adolescent, adult, whatever.

infants and children experience truama as a result of circumcision and trauma is known to cause long term psychological issues even before we can remember.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1595204/ …
