Actually, they're not - that is a false comparison.
None of this discussion is about your penis, Dearth. It's about routine neonatal circumcision, but you have just told me your reason for arguing - you take discussion about the practice so personally you'd rather promote abuse of infants than admit it's unnecessary.
-
-
yes. because i am all about infant abuse. you found me out. i am a patriarchal abusive male with no morals!
-
Actually, it's more like you're personalizing to yourself a kind of invalidation from the discussion, and desperately need the procedure to have some benefit that justifies continued practice of it on infants in order to not be psychologically affected in reference to being cut.
-
It's an issue I've run into before; cut men and women both, when confronted with factual information that contraindicates the procedure in the course of advocacy to discontinue the practice, take the conclusion that the practice is without merit personally.
-
Afterward, I always see the same things cited - stuff I've researched and found to be discredited years ago. And I always get to watch the individual taking the information personally do the same thing... bury their heads, toss logic fallacies like salad, & eventually bounce.
-
nah, its just i do not really care enough about your opinion to try and persuade you otherwise. we are both going to go our separate ways believing what we want to believe regardless of who has the better facts.
-
That's yet another step I see from pro-circ advocates. After trying and failing to find a trump card, using fallacious logic & often ridiculous guilt-tripping, turning to sarcasm & snark, and getting called on those - after all of that effort - they usually claim not to care.
-
And you're half-right. You're going to maintain your outlook regardless of who has better facts. I didn't make up my mind on this subject until I'd fully looked into the research and found that claims about its supposed benefits were lacking in merit.
