That is not true. I worked as a hospital based birth Doula for 18 years we are opposed to a surgery that is not needed without benefits that can harm new born babies. Circumcision also impacts breastfeeding and most the world does not do it.

Look, we all have our own professional opinions. I preferred not to circumcise my son, but I left the decision up to his Dad and my husband felt it would be socially advantageous. You have to fight the battles you need to win.

How would society change if everyone just continued doing it bc it was 'socially advantageous'? I mean... You're just leaving it up to "it's the cultural norm so let's remove bits of our baby." FGM was excused the same way. It's not good enough for girls; why is it for boys?

At what point is that fight worth fighting? At what point is cosmetic surgery on babies worth objecting to with something resembling conviction? I mean FFS circumcision was popularized as an anti-masturbatory aid -- same as female circumcision -- way back by Kellog.

When abortion rights, paid maternity leave and equal pay are on the table, I'm afraid the whole "foreskin fiasco" is WAY down the list! It's just not feminism's fight. It's a man's issue, not ours. We've got limited resources and we have to fight the battles we can win.

Here we have a pro-mutilation advocate. They would likely agree that men's rights activism should have been demonised in it's early years thus making it impossible for men to make any arguments for their own rights. Men almost had a new BC option but it was shot down for

I'm not "pro" anything. I simply couldn't care less about this issue. I don't have to care. You just hate your mother and you seized the foreskin BS as a way to vent your misogyny. Go see a shrink who cares. I owe you nothing.

If you didn't care you wouldn't be arguing so vehemently that everyone focus on anything other than this issue. People care about what they care about. If it upsets you that some people care about stopping genital cutting of babies then I suggest you reconsider your position.

I care that you morons are diverting energy from feminist causes for this bullshit! Your "cause" is a red herring planted by Russian Trolls to get women off their game. We're fighting for half the population of the world and you're fighting for 12 Incels that hate their mothers!

Male circumcision is a bogus issue touted by self-pitying attention whores. Men already have it made by dint of gender; admit it and then man up to do the right things for your partners’ sakes.

cutting the most sensitive part of the penis, without consent, a practice which NO secular medical organization outside the U.S. recommends is NOT a bogus issue. We are not trolls. We are focused on creating true equality of the sexes. Her Body Her Rights. HIS BODY HIS RIGHTS
