LOL, what "could not be clearer" from our exchange is that in response to my post that unambiguously said non therapeutic infant #circumcision is wrong b/c I always objected (& nothing about supposed parental rights), you said "it is your right."

And when I then asked you about the violation of that right, all you could come up with "shit happens and life ain't fair." Not "it was your parent's right to cut you." I get why you've got poster's remorse about that though, now that you've thought through the implications.

2/3: "The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it. And though there be a greater number and weight of instances to be found on the other side,

3/3: yet these it either neglects and despises, or else by some distinction sets aside and rejects, in order that by this great and pernicious predetermination the authority of its former conclusions may remain inviolate."

The shorthand for what Bacon is describing there is "confirmation bias," and it clouds the judgment of every single person who supports non therapeutic infant
#circumcision. When you look only for what will support your pre-determined position, guess what you find?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Okay dude, think you got me on a technicality, but if I’m explaining my position and you don’t want to listen? It’s on you. Look in the mirror when you speak of “confirmation bias”. Much research u provided goes against your own claims. Trolololol

You've tweeted much, but not "explained" a single thing. You've ignored numerous requests to state your position on forcing Type IV
#FGM on girls. You've failed to explain why the bioethical standards that apply to all other anatomy shouldn't apply to foreskin b/c you can't.#i21 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I’ve answered both but I’ll say it again - all FGM is torture because it poses not a single benefit nor is based in any religion as a benefit for women. Infancy is the BEST time to get the procedure done on every front there is to consider, so as a practice it’s best done then

An act is "torture because it poses not a single benefit"? No one in their right mind would agree with that definition of "torture." Type IV
#FGM is a pinprick that doesn't remove healthy tissue. If you think that's torture, then you must admit male#circumcision is too.#i21 reply 0 retweets 1 like
I'm not saying it's right, but the fact is many different forms of #FGM are considered to be a religious rite of passage by many who follow the Islamic faith. Infancy is decidedly NOT "the BEST time" to get either #FGM or #MGM. #i2
