This is a very middle-class male view of the matter. Actually churches started doing this in response to a highly classed and highly gendered problem. Circumcision is ridiculously expensive socially and financially.https://twitter.com/MediaMK/status/1060538252942327808 …

In conclusion
#LoudandWrong is a bad look. -
When capitalism convinced people to band into tribes around foreskin that they have no connection to. In simple terms, the family unit is a structure that will always decide what's best for itself; the rich, the poor, the African, the European.

1. Precolonial African societies were not communist in economic order. 2. Tribe is not an invention of capitalism 3. In Africa rigid tribal lines are an invention of colonialism 4. Capitalism centres the individual not the family unit 5. It isn't always about foreskin

foreskin is a very minor element of circumcision. It is the key form but hardly the matter of the rite. 5. In Europe circumcision is very widely considered a from of child abuse. It isn't legislated against because such a legislation would be anti-semitic. so more
#LoudandWrong -
What's this loud and wrong stuff? Circumcision used to be a big deal, now it's largely penile and a choice. I didn't expect an obvious observation to be contentious. 'Child abuse' is almost as tricky a proposition as 'patriarchy' in that at least it exists.

1. She has little to do with circumcision like they have little to do with childbirth. 2. Sexual abuse is wrong. A ginger penis is not however an optimal tool for sex, especially non-consensual I would imagine. 3. When tribal opinions change one's gender I'll start giving a hoot
