5	Man circumcised in the streets, blood everywhere (NSFW) where the fuck is the UN on this??? It's very common in that region. The UN is very pro-circumcision. As long as it's done to a male.	/r/MensRights	13/10/17 12:16 PM
2	They banned me for posting a link to r/MGTOW in the comments. Offmychest has a list of taboo subs you're not allowed to post or comment to. I didn't know you could also be banned for linking to subs. It's usually a bot ban, but most cases of trying to have the ban listed are met with ridicule from mods. It's a dick move on Offmychest's part, especially because people can post constructive comments, like your link. If you helped the guy out even a little, being banned from OMC is an insignificant price to pay. (Those interested in OMC, but not the pettiness…	/r/MGTOW	15/09/17 10:02 PM
1	The downfall of Rick and Morty, thanks to female writers There wasn't any reason for R&M to be cleansed. I'm really hoping this is the last (and worst) of this weirdly politicized/cleaned up version of the show. I enjoyed it because it was dark and unapologetic. Not caring because it didn't matter is one of the damn points of the show. :(	/r/MGTOW	14/08/17 08:55 PM
3	The downfall of Rick and Morty, thanks to female writers If the writing were stronger, the quips about safe space could have been funny, ironic jokes. But the jokes fell flat here, and I'm not entirely sure these lines were meant to be ironic. I had one chuckle at the end, with the twist involving the solution to Rick's game, but that was it. I don't understand at all how people in the R&M sub are calling this episode the best ever. It resembles the story structure of early R&M, but that's it. It didn't add much to the story. The episode wasn't funny.…	/r/MGTOW	14/08/17 01:43 PM
2	"To The People Freaking Out Over Male Circumcision: Get Over It"- Feminist blogger Mary Malcolm I wouldn't be able to keep up with a full-on discussion right now. If one were to be started on this topic, I would recommend presenting the situation with facts related to the uses of human foreskin and the trade/sale of human foreskin. Opening up the topic without presenting background invites the ignorant and trolls to claim the entire idea of cutting up baby dick for profit is ridiculous and accuse others of lying.	/r/MensRights	09/08/17 06:42 PM
5	"To The People Freaking Out Over Male Circumcision: Get Over It"- Feminist blogger Mary Malcolm It's possible that those who were cut as infants had their foreskin sold to biotech companies for skin grafts, making them organ donors before they could consent. My dad had some comments about his bodily autonomy and how it's wrong he can't donate his organs to who he wants (no idea why he was talking about that at the time.). I told him off, telling him he violated my bodily autonomy and forced me to donate part of myself to someone without my consent. He doesn't bring up his qualms about orga…	/r/MensRights	09/08/17 12:13 PM
1	I was downvoted for being against circumcision. Things like this really make me lose faith in humanity. I saw your post (and upvoted it). I think when it comes to male genital cutting in a very specific location (and its sub), you're going to find many locals supporting their local norms. Unless the topic of discussion is a very specific story, casual readers aren't going to look into a topic and will be misinformed (knowing only their norms). You're arguing with locals about local customs. It's an uphill battle. Good on you for trying to engage them.	/r/MensRights	31/07/17 12:43 PM
1	Incident at the clinic today As a note, in the USA, if you go to the doctor, the doctor cannot call your house and discuss your results over the phone, let alone discuss why you went to the office. If you're saying a receptionist called you and discussed confidential medical information of another patient, that alone deserves to he reported. If that happened, that also sounds incredibly fishy and I would call bullshit. I find it incredibly difficult to believe a legitimate medical office would betray a very basic tenant of …	/r/MensRights	24/07/17 11:49 AM
9	"OPEN YOUR WALLET, WHITE MAN!" After the third or fourth kid (if not before), people like this should really be put on semi-permanent contraceptives until they can get their shit together enough to pay for their damn spawn, if they want to collect benefits. If people want a dozen kids and can afford them, that's their business. People want a litter of welfare checks, that's everyone else's problem.	/r/MGTOW	04/07/17 12:49 PM
6	The Anti-Circumcision Crowd Takes a Queer Turn Am a gay cut man in the USA. Can confirm. Straight guys who can't even look at another penis, let alone touch one that isn't theirs, won't understand how much better an intact penis works. There's a gliding softness over a highly sensitive organ when a man is intact. I've been restoring for years and have been with a few intact men--that gliding, protective action makes a world of difference in regards to pleasure.	/r/MensRights	21/06/17 12:32 PM
2	Ahahaha -- this poor asshole Aren't states now considering whether or not contraceptive deception counts as rape (taking off a condom mid-sex/lying about taking birth control)? I'm not saying she's lying. Her story is very convenient is all. So, the bf in the linked story made it clear he didn't want kids. Gf wants unprotected sex. She happens to make a video stating condoms aren't 100% effective, and would indeed get an abortion if she became pregnant due to her request for no condoms. Lo and behold! Preggo. She hopes they…	/r/MGTOW	01/06/17 02:35 AM
16	Female genital mutilation case sparks circumcision protest in Detroit I assume this article is referencing this article from the Atlantic. The author concluded female circumcision is brutal, outdated form of mutilation perpetuated by society. She also casually mentioned how she had her son's genitals cut shortly after birth. The comments section became a shitstorm of people calling out her hypocrisy and people defending her, trying to suggest male genital cutting had nothing to do with a paper on female circumcision...even though the author brought it up first. Co…	/r/MensRights	17/04/17 06:56 PM
4	An 11-year-old Michigan boy hanged himself after his 13-year-old girlfriend faked her own suicide as part of a “manipulative” social media prank, his mother told The Post. Depending on the deception, the girlfriend and her friends might have made it seem as though she killed herself because of him. If he thought it was his fault his gf committed suicide, that would explain why he didn't seek help--he felt guilty and trapped. Killing himself would be a way out of the guilt, and fear of being in trouble. The gf had already given him the idea that killing yourself is a way out. This story is completely fucked up and deeply sad.	/r/MGTOW	07/04/17 12:51 PM
11	Menstrual leave I've worked with women for years. Almost always, when they were menstruating, they worked and were only slightly less agreeable. Whatever, people are entitled to bad days. Where I work now, the secretary claims to feel exceptionally unwell during her time of the month and often takes off/goes home early. Making things worse, she can be downright wicked at these times. She's snapped at me for doing her job when she came in late one day, with our male supervisor right beside us. I think I understa…	/r/MGTOW	31/03/17 04:01 PM

3	A quick word on MGM like getting a mole removed Others have commented on other points. I want to add, we get moles removed for cosmetic reasons or because they've grown and/or present a health risk for cancer, a medical necessity/prevention based on observable symptoms of a possible illness. We don't routinely alter another person's body by cutting parts of it off for the hell of it. It's reprehensible to cut off parts of someone else's body for aesthetics.	/r/MensRights	29/03/17 01:53 PM
2	Bookstore hides all books written by men authors, Buzzfeed feminists celebrate As a former Lit major (way back when), I found Buzzfeed's treatment of this stunt to be as quintessentially melodramatic as most of its op-ed articles, and more than a little annoying. I do think women fought against (and likely do fight against) bias as authors, but the world of literature has become more fair and open the past few generations (speaking as someone from the USA). A better use of store space and time could have been a writer's workshop for girls and women as part of Women's Histo…	/r/MensRights	14/03/17 01:23 PM
2	Father suicides from continual abuse by courts and ex-wife This is why reading terms and conditions is important. Since I haven't read through them on FB, I don't know (and that is rather stupid of me). That's why I wouldn't post a deeply involved work online without serious forethought. IIRC people were pissed with FB a few years ago when they realized they were giving FB permission to use any picture they posted. I don't remember if this was a permission or copyright issue. still, I wouldn't want FB sharing something personal unless I was okay with it…	/r/MensRights	30/12/16 04:47 PM

Copyright for written word is your life +70 years, regardless of where you write something and on what (unless you give up copyrights, such as Facebook posts we no longer exclusively own and maybe Reddit. I admit to being terrible about reading terms and conditions.). Exceptions sort of include artistic, multimedia pieces. Initially, copyrights protected an author's financial interests. It's pretty interesting/cool that copyrights now cover your points about privacy because we participate i…	/r/MensRights	30/12/16 01:07 PM
9	'You caused your son great harm by insisting on raising him as a girl': Boy, seven, is sent to live with father after his mother raised him as her daughter People should be free to be who they want to be. I can't see kids having a solid grasp of gender identity though. That's something they grow into accepting. If a kid had nonheteronormative leanings, that's who a kid is. But this kid was declared to be a girl by his mom when he was three or four (?). He's seven now, and his mother's influence had been felt for years. I accept everyone is different, I do, because I don't give a crap who you want to be as long as you're a decent person. How the act…	/r/MensRights	21/10/16 04:04 PM

1	Why is circumcision defended so much? Why is routine infant circumcision defended so much? (more accurate?) If a man wants to get it done, or if it has to be done to a male during his life, those are different matters. To clarify, I am against routine infant circumcision--that is mutilation. If someone wants it done, for whatever reason, that's a body mod or medically necessary procedure. If a young male needs it done for a medically necessary procedure, it is a medically necessary procedure.	/r/MensRights	17/10/16 06:08 PM
5	Women attack male human rights activist who fights against female genital mutilation. They hire assailants to physically attack him and his family — and now he's in hiding. The women cling to their tradition of female circumcision, and consider it women's business only. I remember when this article came out. The comments section immediately lit up with comments calling out the author's hypocrisy and comments accusing those who brought up the hypocrisy of trying to steer a conversation about FMG to MGM. The comments were so heated, and I suspect too much for the author (who did not respond as far as I remember), the comment section was quickly shut down. The Atlantic eventually released a follow up article (written by someone else) to explore the valid complaint…	/r/MensRights	17/10/16 12:07 PM
2	Inside the loud, bloody anti-circumcision movement Fair point about title. I could never come up with a title to save my life. I agree, this is a surprisingly good article. When intactivism is mentioned in editorials or quasi-articles, it's almost always with a negative lean.	/r/MensRights	22/08/16 10:55 PM
9	Inside the loud, bloody anti-circumcision movement I'm not fond of the title, "Inside the anti-circumcision movement: These blood-soaked activists want you to cut them some slack." Puns like that tend to turn an argument playful and insincere. This article is fair, pointing out heartfelt arguments against routine infant circumcision (though RIC should be stressed as the reason people are protesting). I'm slightly baffled by the author's criticisms of blood imagery. That's part of genital cutting--trying to say it's not makes it seem as though th…	/r/MensRights	22/08/16 08:40 PM
1	I got yelled at for describing a Bris as a "Ritualistic genital mutilation" by my friend. You didn't say anything incorrect. Your former friend is decidedly wrong (morally) for throwing down the antisemitic card. You could have clarified by saying it's ritualistic mutilation when performed on a child (if done on an adult, you may have felt differently), but that was implied, given the circumstances.	/r/MensRights	22/08/16 02:10 PM

1	Update post on my situation for followers of my last post. Seriously relieved for your son (and you). It could have gone so much worse. And now the school's administrators should be on notice not to threaten kids (or imply veiled threats) without real f'ing evidence of misconduct. You are 100% right to tell your son not to stick his dick in crazy. That's at least a lesson every person could appreciate learning before it's too late.	/r/MensRights	16/05/16 10:47 PM
5	Beware of this trick by "circumcision" supporters: they want "better information" and "regulation", but not a legal ban so they can slip their genital mutilation through this gap. See comments. The education mentality was promoted as a solution NYC in regards to metzitzah b’peh, uncommon Jewish bris ceremony (and I am going to be crude in saying this because I do judge the sick bastards who support it) during which the baby's dick is sucked (suck blood off penis) after the foreskin has been cut off. Babies have contracted herpes and died because of this. Not long ago, detailed consent forms explained this possibility to parents.

1	The six eye-watering reasons why you should NEVER allow your son to be circumcised. Buried in the initially published data is a note saying circumcision reduces absolute HIV rates by some small percent, which happens to be 60% smaller than HIV rates among intact men. I don't have that exact figure handy (arclaw says absolute is 1.6% http://www.arclaw.org/sites/default/files/arc-ncfm-open-letter-bill-melinda-gates-foundation-circumcision-hiv-aids-prevention-2015-05-13.pdf). The findings were quickly sensationalized and the actual quote forgotten in popular literature.	/r/MensRights	02/03/16 09:39 PM
3	Israeli pediatric association calls for end to circumcision-related rite Someone has to at this point, no? Babies are dying and/or contracting herpes. Since the mayor of NYC ended a proposal to force parents to learn the possible outcomes of this ritual, it's been popping up in the news every few months. It's terrible press for the Jewish culture. I would suspect it's hurting its image.	/r/MensRights	02/03/16 09:31 PM
2	New York professor insists there is no parity between categories 1 and 2 FGA and male circumcision This was a matter of time, assuming it's not meant to be sarcastic or serve a greater point. Genital modifications performed on infants for cultural reasons are going to become more common as long as people support any one form of it. The ethics behind one supports the ethics of all. That being said, is this really serious? It can't be sincere, right?	/r/MensRights	23/02/16 04:59 PM
2	Circumcision is white male privilege and should only be discussed through patriarchy (says feminist) The overall arguments about male circumcision being an issue of dominance and privilege come off as kind of crazy. But the author does argue against routine infant circumcision as a bodily autonomy issue (among other reasons). It's just a lot of crazy to get around. Whoever commented (under article) about the author going through mental gymnastics to write it is absolutely accurate. At least the author wants to support men? Still...wow...all the crazy.	/r/MensRights	05/02/16 01:44 PM
1	Sex Wars - Circumcised vs. Uncircumcised This video mixes messages. Is it about penis preference or routine infant circumcision (because it does both)? There are major differences between the two (not to mention instances when circumcision is medically necessary). Talking about all these cases at once muddies the water for clear discussion. This particular video just seems like an excuse for people to talk about dicks.	/r/MensRights	03/02/16 02:18 PM
2	Circumcision "Intactists" don't want you (or your kids) to get snipped. I feel foolish for overlooking this point. -.- I just saw the inclusion of celebs as a way for the author to ignore moral (and medical) arguments against routine infant circumcision by sensationalizing the story to distract readers.	/r/MensRights	26/01/16 07:20 PM
2	Circumcision "Intactists" don't want you (or your kids) to get snipped. I liked your idea to contact, but judging from the author's lack of journalistic integrity or objectivity, I'm assuming she'll likely see emails related to this article and delete them without reading, chalking up (valid) criticisms to intactivist crazies. I did think about it all day. This write up is that offensive to me. Instead, I wrote a letter to the editor in support of intactivism.

This write up (It can't really be called an article, can it?) is factually wrong (even if people want to argue statistics, the characterization of intactivism is a bold face lie--the movement doesn't advocate for bans, it advocates for choice). That wouldn't be the problem in an op-Ed piece, but there was obviously no desire on the author's part to investigate what she was reporting on. She's furthering an inaccurate dialog on intactivism online to give credit to her opinions. That's the inevita…	/r/MensRights	25/01/16 09:59 PM

The mother changed her mind about having her son cut years after signing a parenting agreement. The father took her to court to force her to give consent. She bolted and hid in a battered women's shelter, later claiming the son had been abused by forcible retraction. The longer this case went on, the more outlandish the accusations and actions of all parties involved became.

Males, directly because of this overuling, because of a drastic increase in Muslim populations, and also females.

Currently, it states (loosely) there are more benefits than not but cannot suggest every boy be cut. Other organizations turn to this policy.

Andy says Jeff mutilated his son. The normal "banter" around MGM, but clearly, progress is being made on male circumcision. Religion is a nasty can of worms. A sincere acceptance of a faith should be a personal choice, too, but that's not really the case in any major religion. I'm not familiar with Islamic education for youths, but Catholicism and Judaism operate under the assumption that you're born into them and educate you in their teachings as soon as possible. In the case of Judaism (and Islam), you're also physically altered if you're a male. But if you argue for personal rights where God is involved, you find …	/r/MensRights	26/08/15 12:11 AM

This is similar to when Jason Biggs' wife, Jenny Mollen, flippantly posted about their son's circumcision on social media and people called her out on it.

This way, you get across the connotation of mutilation without having to say the word.

Whe I confronted both of my parents about their decision as a teen, my dad revealed he had been celebrating at the time it happened but would have left me intact.

1	Male Circumcision am I the only person on here not against it. That's one method. Weights and assorted attaching devices offer constant, gentle tension throughout an extended period of time. There are methods that don't require tools, too. Some men who have minimal to no slack skin on their shafts benefit from stretching by hand and then move up to weights and devices (because those usually grip skin to work their best.).

As long a person makes choices about his penis and is happy, good for him. :)	/r/MensRights	09/06/15 05:41 PM
2	Male Circumcision am I the only person on here not against it. I also agree. People should be supportive of each other as far as personal genitals are concerned (if you like what you have, great. If you hate what you have, we're here to lend an ear. You want to change what you have and don't know where to start, we can be a sounding board.). There is a bigger, global issue here related to the ethics of routine infant circumcision. Strong comments against cutting will be made. But comments shouldn't be used as attacks against individuals.	/r/MensRights	09/06/15 05:04 PM
1	Male Circumcision am I the only person on here not against it. What's messed up is pro-cutters are the first to bring up vaccination, as if those arguing for genital integrity are against vaccination. Genital cutting (doesn't prevent disease) and vaccinations (prevent disease) are two entirely different things.	/r/MensRights	09/06/15 04:46 PM
6	Shaming men for 'Manspreading?' I've seen just as many men give up their seats for women on the train In NYC, people take up more room than they should on trains and buses. When a train or bus gets too crowded, most people will close their legs and move their stuff for others to sit. Guys will occasionally keep their legs spread, even as trains and buses fill--but women do, too. Same goes for bags, boxes, etc. Teens and kids lie across seats and pile on top of each other and people just let them. It's not even close to fair to single out men for "manspreading."	/r/MensRights	03/06/15 08:57 PM
3	Circumcision: Ethics, Female Privilege and Parenting Inconsistencies Your video captures the human arguments often ignored by those who are pro-circumcision. Calling out parents who both accept AAP as law while cherry picking what to follow may get a few people to reevaluate their stance, since pointing out the fallacies of the science behind pro-circumcision policies doesn't seem to go anywhere. I'm afraid you're going to find opposition from those who are offended by the use of mutilation, but you're right to say it. Excellent work explaining your principles.	/r/MensRights	03/06/15 08:48 PM
1	Circumcision, can you explain this? Studies suggest a decrease in HIV transmission by 1.6% in developing countries. Ignoring biases in those studies, that claim doesn't explain why the U.S. had among the largest HIV infection rates in the 80s and 90s, because a vast majority of boys were circumcised before and during that time. Naval studies show no correlation between STD transmission and circumcision http://www.dtic.mil/get-tr-doc/pdf?AD=ADA458066 You're right. If you have unprotected sex, you take your chances.	/r/MensRights	02/06/15 09:58 PM
2	Circumcision, can you explain this? The OP wanted to make a thread to discuss an issue she felt was important. The hostility of responses throughout the day show she was right to be weary while treading some subs. She probably didn't care about the cut or intact status of sexual partners because that should not be one's concern--you are sleeping with someone, an act of love. If a guy is cut he shouldn't be discriminated against in the bedroom. If a guy is intact, he shouldn't be discriminated against in the bedroom. The OP legitim…	/r/MensRights	02/06/15 08:50 PM
1	Circumcision, can you explain this? In America, cutting is often brought up as part of birthing plans or shortly after birth, while mother and child are in the hospital.	/r/MensRights	02/06/15 08:31 PM
1	Circumcision, can you explain this? You can restore functionality by stretching skin you do have (Not sure if people should bank on Foregen.). It's a lot of work, but worth it. This would also improve glans sensitivity. The overall reason to speak against infant genital cutting is because people are better than that. People need to change their perceptions about it, but that won't happen if no one says existing perceptions are wrong. Infant cutting is not okay.	/r/MensRights	02/06/15 08:29 PM
2	Circumcision, can you explain this? That is an argument used by Intactivists. I wholeheartedly agree with the use of mutilation. Unfortunately, your question of why do people defend circumcision comes into play. FGM replaced Female Circumcision to emphasize how destructive it is. And FGM is reprehensibly destructive. In the USA, all forms of FGM (there are several) are legally prohibited. Medical agencies no longer recognize FGM as legitimate medicine anymore here (they did, in varying degrees). MGM is promoted by the American Aca…	/r/MensRights	02/06/15 02:52 PM
6	Circumcision, can you explain this? Your assessment is a sweet one. People should start a humanist movement to support equality and freedoms for everyone they love so we can do away with labels. People use mutilation because that's what non-therapeutic circumcison is in a literal, slightly connotative way (depriving a male use of his foreskin, a piece of his body by amputating it without medical need). But using that word gets defensive responses from those who don't yet recognize the damage needless circumcision inflicts (there a…	/r/MensRights	02/06/15 01:57 PM
4	Circumcision, can you explain this? I wish there was a clear cut answer to why people defend this, but I don't think there is. As others have mentioned, men perpetuate routine infant circumcision (RIC) because it was done to them. To argue against RIC after having gone through it yourself means you accept an important piece of your sexual organ has been taken away without an acceptable reason. That could be a crushing realization. One of my brothers has said he will cut his sons unless he's given scientific reason not to (I've sho…	/r/MensRights	02/06/15 12:48 PM

7	Based Milo supports circumcision and defends it with a plea to female desire. Very disappointing. At least in the USA, male genital cutting was popularized as a deterrent for masturbation. If one makes arguments that include consideration for ancient religious and cultural practices, as Milo seems to be hinting at here, one has to omit sexuality and hygiene. Most Judeo-Christian religions necessarily prohibit oral sex (no intercourse unless for procreation). And hygiene was not a human concern until about the 16th century (or later), when germs were theorized. Genital cutting predates all of…	/r/MensRights	28/05/15 11:01 PM

8	Based Milo supports circumcision and defends it with a plea to female desire. Very disappointing. This article promotes a great deal of misinformation. It's troubling that the author sincerely promotes genital cutting as a cosmetic choice people should force on their children (the author conflates RIC with genital cutting as a consenting adult throughout). From article: "More to the point, I’m not sure it’s consistent with manosphere principles.
