If you to argue that, I would argue then that it should be used as a last resort 'treatment', never as a prophylactic procedure. I'd like doctors to stop recommending it so quickly. It gives people the impression it's the best way to treat these problems.

It’s not presented like that, they ask you and according to HIPAA they have to give you the pros and cons. Educate the parents, don’t blame the doctors for doing their job. It’s not like they enjoy extra work.

Doctor's jobs are not performing unnecessary surgeries or genital mutilations. And doctors have the ethics education to know what they are doing is wrong.

They don’t just “perform it”, they *have* to ask the parents. Blame them, not the poor doctor who has to listen to the baby wail.

Not historically. And they still bully parents. They fact that they present it as an option ITSELF is loaded. They don't "offer" ANY unnecessary surgeries on female genitals. I thought you claimed to be opposed to "circumcision for no reason" which ARE these cases.

You cant use justification of past instances of an idea and assume the justification is the same now. There is no benefit in female circumcisions, but in males you drastically reduce urethral infection chances. That's enough reason to ask, and the parents are the ones saying yes.

Here's a study where they tried to prove FGM doesn't prevent HIV and accidentally found the opposite. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265824402_Female_Circumcision_and_HIV_Infection_in_Tanzania_for_Better_or_for_Worse … Do I believe it? Hell no! Sometimes bad science happens even despite the best of intentions. Why trust "benefits of male circ" research either?

Because the foreskin provides the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive, and unlike females is not protected by acid.

Your mouth and gut are also perfect environments for bacterias. When are you gonna get a removal of your gut done for that reason? Sorry, boy. Just playing around with your logic.

The stomach is protected by stomach acid and operates at a pH that can denature the proteins in some bacteria. The mouth is protected by mucous layers at the back of the throat. But even then, tonsils can get infected. If that happens a few times it’s recommended you remove them.

Tonsils are removed AFTER there is a problem, after infection. That's what we're talking about, surgery as a last resort, not a preventative measure. If there is a medical issue, other treatments don't work, and circumcision is the only way, go ahead, but that's 1/16000 not the>>

2> 77% of American men, not the 1/3 of all men world wide, and never the two or three day old infant who hasn't had the time to have these issues happen, let alone be diagnosed and other treatments tried.
