You are correct that feminism is different from misandry, but permitting or practicing male genital mutilation while opposing female genital mutilation is a double-standard that reinforces societal misandry. As a doctor, you should know better.

Regarding the ignorance of US drs, this comes to mind: “It’s difficult to get a man to understanding, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” ~Upton Sinclair For US drs, circumcision is money, money, money. AAP = all about profit

Who is trying to undermine gravity? Those wishing to show circumcision harms, or those who want to show it does?

There is stupidity, and then there is willful stupidity. She can’t have a genuine interest in public health when she has religious, possibly financial convictions to defend the practice.

The convo is the same. Stop segregating, aggrandizing one issue while minimizing, erasing the other.

Don’t feed the trolls. What was that saying... never mud wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it. Need to draw a line and move on. Plenty of other things to do.

Um, circumcision logic is such. It’s circumcision advocates suggesting anything needs to be removed to prevent (insert your favorite disease here) not us. Don’t equivocate.

Public service announcement. THIS is a description of normal penis. Do NOT retract a baby's foreskin! For some reason I saw a mother who was told to do so by MULTIPLE pediatricians and urologists, and a couple told her to circumcise her baby. Glad baby saw me.

You are mistaken on my intentions, but I do think forced genital alteration for social conformity is sad. However I do recognize parents who do it almost always do so with good intentions.

Evolution did not make a mistake with the foreskin: it is there for a reason.

They aren’t “comparable” because they’re IDENTICAL. Anyone denying this hasn’t actually looked. LOOK. We dare you.

Mocking tweet didn’t quite turn out how she wanted it, so she deletes it at best, or merely blocks all dissent at worst. Good thing you saved this. She was obviously being torn apart!

If you chose to mutilate your son it’s because of engrained beliefs. “Medical benefits” are a convenient excuse.

Thank you so much for speaking out. International peers calling out the weird and unethical bias toward newborn circumcision in the American medical establishment is very helpful.

Circumcision rates in the USA are already down close to 50% nationally. Conformity is a sad reason to force genital alteration on a child.

Shaming parents (usually mums) is not a solution: fight the system where change will happen. The end does not justify the means.
