0	A Discussion on Circumcision I don't intend to come off as a brick wall. I'm really trying to get it. The problem right now is that my experience is causing me to be unable to see the difference in anything other than appearance. That is why I can't understand why someone might want this part of their body back. I get why people would be mad about losing a part of their body, but I know personally, I have more that I'd like to change about my body that was caused by genetics than circumcision. It's not the "unnecessarily cu…	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 04:46 AM
0	A Discussion on Circumcision The reason I don't understand the consent issue is that I don't understand why someone would be upset about being circumcised. Keep in mind I have never had any problems with my penis. I can't even conceive of anything different except for the look. People are up in arms about how it's irreversible, but as someone that's never even heard of someone being unhappy with having a penis that's been circumcised, I don't understand how it's a problem. The only think I can think to compare it to is wisd…	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 04:29 AM
1	A Discussion on Circumcision I appreciate the sentiment, but people actually are saying I should be mad. Someone tried to tell me I should get checked out by a psychiatrist. I certainly don't feel mad that it was done. In sitting here responding to the comments people have left, I had a brief talk with my dad about it and it was his understanding that it was more sanitary to be circumcised. Whether he's actually right or not, he acted in what he believed was my best interest. People seem annoyed, if not angered by my ignora…	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 03:55 AM
1	A Discussion on Circumcision Honestly, I would argue that I could be if certain conditions were in place. I'm not too far gone, just apparently ignorant of the plight that I've been saddled with.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 03:33 AM
1	A Discussion on Circumcision I used the term legal rights because children that are getting circumcised as infants do not have the ability to think for themselves. If you were old enough to think for yourself and research for yourself, I would think that parents denying an informed rejection to circumcision would be acting unethically. My thought is that if the parents are acting in what they believe are the child's best interests when they have him circumcised as an infant are acting ethically. They are trying to do what i…	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 03:24 AM
1	A Discussion on Circumcision I have no psychiatric issues like that that I need to discuss with anyone thank you. I suppose that at the point I'm at in my life, if my parents did something before I had the ability to even posses cognition, I might as well live with it. I can resent them for it and possibly destroy the relationship with them, or I can live with it like I have. I've never experienced any problems as a circumcised male. If my parents had tattooed me at the same point that I was circumcised and there were no co…	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 03:13 AM
1	A Discussion on Circumcision First of all, I'm not a troll. At this point I would say that I'm ignorant, which is why I asked in the first place. I would imagine there is pain involved in circumcision, but having been circumcised myself I don't remember experiencing any pain. I'm still young enough that I don't know much about the birth process, but I'd imagine that there are other parts that could be painful. In response to your earlobe question, I suppose the reason it matters, in my mind, is that not having my foreskin i…	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 03:04 AM
0	A Discussion on Circumcision Well, seeing as I am now an adult and fully legally responsible for myself, I would not be happy that my parents had made such a decision. If it was something that they had decided while I was still under their legal guardianship, I would be upset with the lack of earlobes based on the fact that this is something that is not so easy to cover up. Perhaps I don't understand the fact that I apparently only retain partial functionality of my penis because I have no memory of having a foreskin. Havin…	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:54 AM
-1	A Discussion on Circumcision I suppose that, if it were in a place that it could be hidden and did not cause excessive pain to the child, it would not be that big of a deal. Many people already have asked me about cutting off earlobes. While this does seem similar to me, missing earlobes would be much more noticeable to the general public than a missing foreskin. Having never gotten a tattoo, I can't speak to the level of pain. However, if there were a completely painless way to tattoo a spot that would not be revealed to t…	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:38 AM
1	A Discussion on Circumcision Unfortunately, that still doesn't quite tell me enough. Though, upon my brief glance, it didn't appear similar enough for me to make a comparison.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:32 AM
-1	A Discussion on Circumcision I don't think that it's my place to decide what to do with your son.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:30 AM
-1	A Discussion on Circumcision I understand the loss of nerve endings, but unless the loss of these nerve endings causes an inability to experience sexual stimulation, I don't see it as a big deal.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:29 AM
1	A Discussion on Circumcision I'm not familiar with that procedure, so I can't properly answer your question.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:26 AM
1	A Discussion on Circumcision I understand that nerve endings are removed, but as long as there are still enough left for sexual stimulation, it doesn't seem that crazy to me. I have never had an issue with such a thing so perhaps I just don't understand.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:26 AM
-1	A Discussion on Circumcision I suppose I consider this much different than your earlobes question because it's not a social norm for nearly everyone to see your foreskin. Piercings would close up, so while that does seem irresponsible, if I'm understanding correctly it would heal. I'm not ignorant of the fact that hair and fingernails grow back, that was simply a poor argument on my part. My main point is that, provided that circumcision does not deprive the man of the ability to have sex and urinate, I don't understand how…	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:23 AM
-1	A Discussion on Circumcision Can you explain your thoughts to me then?	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:13 AM
1	A Discussion on Circumcision This statement sounds rather silly to me, because I've never heard of anyone with a circumcised penis being unable to enjoy intercourse. However, if this is a normal phenomenon then I suppose I would consider myself lucky.	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:12 AM
-1	A Discussion on Circumcision "It should certainly irk you that your parents felt it right to rob you of a part of your own anatomy, without your permission, for no reason other than their own vanity." But then by this logic, shouldn't I also be upset that my parents cut my hair and trimmed my fingernails as a child? Should parents, the legal guardians of children, not be allowed to give permission for other surgeries without the child's permission?	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:11 AM
-1	A Discussion on Circumcision Does that mean that I am a lesser person than someone with an uncircumcised penis? Does mine not operate properly?	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:05 AM
1	A Discussion on Circumcision Well I don't think that it radically alters the penis. It certainly doesn't deprive any male of it's use. A circumcised penis seems no less perfect to me than an uncircumcised one. How do you feel these definitions apply?	/r/MensRights	05/01/13 02:03 AM
1	Women’s Duty To Men -- there are a great many duties that men feel they have towards women, but virtually none (bar those imposed by law) that modern women feel they have towards men As a young man just beginning to entertain the idea of starting a family some time soon, this was a demoralizing, if not slightly frightening read. Still being young, I don't have a lot of experience with the marital world or even with a long term relationship, so I'm not sure if there is exaggeration here, but if there is not then the road ahead looks perilous.	/r/MensRights	31/12/12 09:48 PM
