      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 …

      It’s circumcision season in Central Kenya and the new wave is to send your child away for two weeks at a Church owned camp CAN NEVER BE ME I will to take care of my own child post-op

      It is amusing to read your take on circumcision, having taken care of boys 'transitioning' into men in my family. Because that's what happens. Paying people to take care of your folk for 2 weeks reads like rich people problems. But of course everything is #ThePatriarchy lol

      Dude, the first sign that you and I come from different contexts is that you said 2 weeks. In my community two weeks are for healing. Seclusion lasts almost two months. also your son is taken care of by young men appointed by his clan not the nearest male relative.

      The family does not see him at all until he comes out so as to create psychological distance in their minds between the boy they sent in and the man who will come out. Wanatuma tu pesa. Contextualize your "rich peopel problems" condescension.

      Patriachy is 1. To offer circumcision to their daughter's son becuase she has no right to membership in the clan. 2. The sexual abuse in the name of rite of passage that goes on. 3. Boys who do this"2 weeks unasema are not considered men in my community.

      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.
