Unless you are at 100% satisfied, you have a human rights problem. Also, the more men learn about what was taken from them, the more they get angry it was done without their consent. Education rate increases the dissatisfaction rate over time.

One common pro-slavery argument was, 'they're happy to be slaves!' She goes into an anti-slavery group & chants, "black folk are happy to be slaves!" Many women were happy their feet were bound, as it was regarded as lower status if you weren't - like circ in some communities.

As you rightly point out, most men also have no clue of the facts of circumcision. Most don't know they lost 80% of sexual sensation. Most have been told it's a "tiny" flap of "extra" skin - they're always surprised to learn it's ~15 sq inches or so.pic.twitter.com/YJHMpZYGqA

Unless you do the ethical thing and let "everyone" decide for himself when old enough to give informed consent - as we do with all other cosmetic surgery.

It’s not just a cosmetic surgery, and the ethical thing to do is cut in infancy when risk is much lower and the skin has a chance to grow with the cut.

ETHICAL? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/denmarks-29000-doctors-declare-circumcision-of-healthy_b_58753ec1e4b08052400ee6b3 … PLEASE leave the US! This is NOT considered an ethical practice. Most of the world is uncut, shocked and disturbed that the US does. It is Genital Mutilation

Then the rest of the world should stay out of the US. American circ is a good tradition.

Especially not, because it was a response to a statement about norms in US vs elsewhere.

No, your words - "the rest of the world should stay out of the US" - is pure #xenophobia. And ethical rules apply to children everywhere - in the US as well as elsewhere.

Above poster said I should leave the US, when US is home to traditional circ, providing that because much of world disapproves US should too. US is great doesn’t need anyone’s opinion on how to be great. Would love US values everywhere but not a dictator.

«Would love US values everywhere» circumcision isn’t even a traditional american value. It was popularized as a victorisn era anti-masturbation strategy. And didn’t even really catch on until after wwII.....
