Surely circumcision for adults who have it for medical reasons shouldn’t be banned, right? Do you mean just for babies who can’t consent to it?
When is female circumcision needed for medical reasons? More like WHERE is female circumcision medicalized... In parts of Asia doctors do the same thing to baby girls and boys just like we do to boys here in the USA, the doctors claim the same health benefits and STD prevention.
I meant male circumcision, obviously.
I know. There is no reason for either think about it. Take all the time you need think equality. Think about how men are being pressured into it by doctors and how people are forced by their peers into having their genitals cut to avoid being thrown out of the tribe.
I used to work in the urology department of a hospital where they regularly performed circumcisions for a number of perfectly reasonable medical reasons such as painful erections and repeat infections. No one was pressured into having one. They were just offered it
Once again no reason for circumcision there’s a little plastic device on the Internet that fixes all those problems. Any other issue can be fixed with anabiotic’s. If you know anything about medicine you should be able to grasp what I’m saying.
I grasp it. It just doesn’t work for everyone and plenty of people choose circumcision as a definitive option. Why would you want to take that choice away from people?
Listen lady I was mutilated as an infant and during puberty I had such tight erections my dick would bleed and I couldn’t even take a shower sometimes because the wounds on my shaft would sting so bad, now at 25 I have sensitivity issues from the cut and am having to restore.
And that’s why doing that to infants is totally wrong. I agree with you there. I just know that, performed on adults with full knowledge and consent, it works well to fix certain issues. Banning it would remove that choice from men and I don’t think that’s fair
I want to ban infant circumcision. Adult men and women can mutilate their genitals all to hell. Keep in mind 99.6% of all circumcisions are genital mutilations of non-consenting children.
I can totally understand why people would want to ban it on infants but it’s not ‘mutilation’ on men when it’s essential surgery to help them comfortably get an erection or prevent painful repeat infections
That is insane. Circumcised men have chronically painful erections. Amputation is not a treatment for balantitis or UTIs. Circumcision us genital mutilation by definition. To damage or make imperfect by destruction of part or parts. Boys aren't born defective.
Keyword forced. If an adult wants to get it done by his own free will, fine. If there's a legitimate medical need, not the phony phimosis in children (it's fused to the glans, protecting the penis from contamination and dissolves overtime) then fine but ppl have right to refuse
