Many physicians and nurses incorrectly believe you must rip down the fused foreskin (the foreskin is fused to the glans of the penis like your fingernail to your nailbed until it naturally retracts, which means it becomes able to be pulled down, happening usually around puberty but can retract as early as 2-3. The average age the foreskin begins to retract on its own is 10 years old, but can take up until near 18) every time you change a diaper or bathe him. This misconception actually is one of…	/r/MensRights	27/09/15 06:52 PM

Many of the women who get circumcised in regions where it is popular say they like it and it's great and then do it to their daughters! Here and here. "She also challenges some common misconceptions around FGC, like the belief that it is forced on women by men. In fact, elderly women often do the most to perpetuate the custom. I thought African girls were held down and butchered against their will, but some of them voluntarily and joyfully partake in the ritual. I thought commu…	/r/MensRights	27/09/15 06:43 PM

1	Saw this on imgur. A man holding intactivist signs along a street. Wish I had the balls to do more than just complain on the internet. Especially considering that the latest research shows that babies feel pain up to 4 times greater than adults, and often little to NO pain meds are given during infant circumcision, and when they are used they are completely ineffective and provide practically no pain relief.	/r/MensRights	27/09/15 06:12 PM

Tell the hospital you want all testing done in room, and the two tests that need to be done in another room (usually the hearing test and heel prick) you can go with him or your husband can go with. Also make little signs for your 48 hour stay after you give birth that state, "I"m INTACT do NOT retract, only clean what is seen!"

Not even close, it's an open wound in a urine and feces filled environment. An intact penis is the easiest genitalia on an infant to keep clean no matter what, you just wipe like a finger and that is it. A vulva requires much more work to clean between the labia and ensure you are not wiping feces near the vagina and a circumcised penis requires much effort to ensure the wound does not become infected, that adhesions do not form, etc.	/r/MensRights	27/09/15 05:50 PM

1	19 year old boy forced to register as a sex offender even after 14 year old told police and judge she had lied about being 17. That would be a deal breaker for me.

1	Men's bathroom and Women's bathroom in my office. Look, obviously things are the way they are, and when they build another stadium it will most likely house restroom facilities that are 50/50. It's just always something I thought of about public restrooms, men use the restroom more efficiently and rarely have a 20 minute line to piss. It would just make more sense to have more women's restrooms in facilities that have a fairly equal ratio of men and women. Just like, to me, in OP's workplace, having more men's restrooms just makes more sense. A…	/r/MensRights	01/08/15 07:32 PM

Fuck this "blood is blood" attitude. I totally agree with you. I have no qualms cutting someone off/burning bridges with family. Being related to me or my boyfriend doesn't entitle you special rules where you fuck us over and I damn well won't be supporting any family member of mine who so casually puts others' lives in jeopardy like you described above.

2	19 year old boy forced to register as a sex offender even after 14 year old told police and judge she had lied about being 17. The judge is not the real problem here, with his guilty plea, there is nothing the judge could have done even if that judge loved him some and supported casual sex. What we need to do is to change the law. And we, the people, have the power to do that. It's just that it'll probably require money and time, something people on Reddit either don't have to give or refuse to give making all the outrage here essentially worthless circle jerking.

5	19 year old boy forced to register as a sex offender even after 14 year old told police and judge she had lied about being 17. What kind of parents raise a daughter who thinks it's okay to lie to men about their age to have sex? It seems to be a mix of ignorance (the girl in this case seems to have had no clue how much trouble her lie could get him in), arrogance, and entitlement. I mean, I really wasn't looking to have sex at all when I was in high school, I had sex for the first time at almost 19, but not once did it ever cross my mind from pre-teen and up to lie to anyone about my age for any reason but especially no…	/r/MensRights	01/08/15 05:31 PM

Edit: Gosh I guess I'm not allowed to imagine things for the future/how things should be where we make decisions based off of what makes sense rather than arbitrarily trying to make everything 50/50 so as to not hurt any feelings.

I am happy to clarify that sentence as even before I clicked save, I gave it the side-eye because I wasn't sure it expressed what I was thinking like I wanted to. Our society has a large number of human beings, male and female, that believe you cannot rape a man, that if his penis becomes erect that he wants it. There is also a lot of social acceptance and praise for young men/guys to have sex with an older woman to the extent that, as you made a similar comment, they get high fives.

To add to that, me personally, I wouldn't have an issue sharing a bathroom with men. In all my 30 years experience, the women's bathrooms are infinitely more disgusting than the men's.

It was a red light ticket and the officer couldn't care less that I was a woman. I got it taken care of in court because it was a really shitty intersection that throws off perception of where the intersection actually is. But that's beside the point.

I'm 30, so me at 15 compares to 15 year olds these days being more like 10. 2015 18 year olds act like middle schoolers. I have 2 younger sisters who are 20 (almost 21) and 22.

Cognitive dissonance makes it easy for a person to convince themselves something they went through wasn't traumatic.

10	Obama calls for end to female genital mutilation in Africa while US has highest rates of male circumcision It also normally happens while the child is a baby, as opposed to girls and women being subjected to it at all ages, especially when they reach sexual maturity. This is completely untrue, both are done at all ages to both sexes. I believe the ritual where they slice the underside (subincision?) of the penis is done as a "rite of passage" to puberty age boys. Bottom line for me is that genitals are being mutilated and both need to stop.	/r/MensRights	30/07/15 05:20 PM

Imagine the chauvinist-branding backlash phrases such as "no fat-arses", "the thinner the better". Couldn't disagree with a single word you said. The simple fact that people are unwilling to listen to the damn sex workers themselves goes to show they aren't doing anything to "save" anyone, they are pushing their views about sex on everyone else.
