Why? Believe me, I like a foreskin and all. Not religious. But what’s the point of a mass movement banning circumcision?
Because infant circumcision is genital mutilation and violates the universal human right to physical integrity, the same right that is RUTHLESSLY enforced with regards to ANY intervention on a girls genitals.pic.twitter.com/C3DQIRkQqC
Technically. Ever wonder why it became a religious practice to circumcise? It’s hot in the Middle East and so circumcision would reduce the chance of urinary tract infection, so more children would survive. The practice just became a tradition so even the morons would do it.
There is no actual evidence that circumcision ever provided any real health benefit, at any point in history ever. Even if it did, the harm of unnecessary surgery before a time of modern sterilization and antibiotics would have claimed FAR more lives than it ever saved.
THIS. There is literally ZERO anthropological evidence for circumcision EVER starting for "hygiene". Which would have been insane in a stone age world without antibiotics. If anything, it started in prehistory as a proxy for castration rituals or human sacrifice.
Conversations like this are fun and educational, I’m enjoying this. So I have a few questions: 1. Do you disagree with circumcision in general or only as a religious practice? 2. Where’s the evidence for your theory about removing pleasure? My theory is backed up by 2 med papers.
1. Circumcision of infants is wrong regardless of motivation 2. It removes the most sensitive part, determined by esthesiometer: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17378847 Surveys report lost sensitivity https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23374102 And dysfunction https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21672947 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17155977
Sorry, I think I may have mis-worded the second question. I mean the historical reasons for individual cultures circumcising, not actual responses to circumcision. But the first question’s response- what if you suffer from phimosis? Do I just let it fall off once you’re 14?
