1	Circumcision is rape! So refreshing to hear your voice! The definition of rape has changed through history but now encompasses the US rite of neonatal ritual penectomy as per the Rome Statute: Rape The perpetrator invaded the body of a person by conduct resulting in penetration, however slight, of any part of the body of the victim or of the perpetrator with a sexual organ, or of the anal or genital opening of the victim with any object or any other part of the body. The invasion was committed by force, or by threat …	/r/MensRights	30/04/26 03:16 PM
0	Circumcision is rape! This is what I get when I try the link, it means this comment is no longer. I don't dispute that you may be able to see it but when I log out it is not visible, so only you can see it. This is the trickery of SoMe which if you are effectively against this prehistoric sacrificial rite being forced on children you would know all about! Your argument is based on exactly the same principle of definitions being carved in stone that the feminists you refer to rely on. What exactly do you find abusive …	/r/MensRights	30/04/26 02:50 PM
2	Circumcision is rape! It's not defined by how horrible it is. True, here's the modern definition: Rape The perpetrator invaded the body of a person by conduct resulting in penetration, however slight, of any part of the body of the victim or of the perpetrator with a sexual organ, or of the anal or genital opening of the victim with any object or any other part of the body. The invasion was committed by force, or by threat of force or coercion, such as that caused by fear of violence, duress, detention, psychological…	/r/MensRights	27/04/26 11:40 PM
1	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision Also, circumcision was first practiced by non-Jewish Westerners to stop masturbation, so it definitely does have roots in limiting sexual pleasure as well. This is true however in the history of the rite this is very recent and only in a period before it became established tradition. The period followed the discovery of effective anaesthesia which quickly led to a surgery craze which still lingers even today in US. The excuses for performing the rite always fit the values of the given society ev…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 08:55 PM
1	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision First off I provided you with a link to the definition of "FGM" and to an "FGM" expert explaining that in Indonesia with the largest number of cases by far of any country, it is only superficial. Do you acknowledge that? Obviously not all injuries are debilitating, do you agree? If so then why are you even asking me that question? Thousands of Western women spend large sums choosing to have "FGM" in the form of cosmetic genital surgery eg so-called labiaplasty or genital piercings at a tatoo art…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 08:40 PM
2	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision Both are issues. No, its one issue, the infliction of non medical injuries on childrens' genitals. Making out they are separate issues depending on the sex of the victim to defend Western tradition just perpetuates the tradition to the detriment of billions of children, girls as well as boys. One is tied in religious doctrine and not meant to essentially cripple the victim. False distinction, boys are no more put through this rite for religious reasons than girls are and in neither case is it in…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 07:07 PM
2	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision It was for the UN which is mostly men not women! We're talking about the rite of circumcision, inflicting injuries on a child's genitals. "MGM" is a copycat term to "FGM" ie male circumcision, the title of the chapter I'm referring to. Quote me for saying "a feminist pushing fir it". Its not a book but a report and you obviously have no idea what is in it. I was clearly correct that you have no real interest in being informed.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 11:51 AM
2	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision Its not really available online but here: https://archive.org/details/hoskenreportgeni0000hosk/page/n3/mode/2up I'll send you a copy of the chapter entitled "Male Circumcision: A Comparison" if you provide an email address. Otherwise you'll have to borrow it from your library. Something tells me though that you really don't care for actual research.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 11:32 AM
0	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision Show me where you get your evidence from please. Can you be more specific? And how is FGM discriminatory? "FGM" is discriminatory as it was deliberately coined to make a false distinction between putting girls through the rite and doing the same with boys where the latter was not deemed mutilating while the former was. It has lead to specific discriminatory legislation in most Western countries and many non Western ones defacto legalising the rite in the case of boys. It is genuine butchered mut…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 10:40 AM
1	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision The issue with "aesthetics" is purely cutting culture, yes. errect ones look similar to circumscised one as the tip is uncovered. This again is a cutting myth. The normal male anatomy is that the glans, what you wrongly call the tip, is covered irrespective of state. The foreskin is capable of retracting from covering the glans to cover the entire shaft and it is this rolling motion that is primally responsible for stimulation of the penis. Unfortunately the influence of cutting culture's hygien…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 09:55 AM
0	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision Homologue was not used as the comparison and the G spot is not a recognised anatomical term or structure. The glans clitoris is widely reported as the most erotogen part of the female sexual anatomy and the frenulum delta is one of the two most erotogen parts of the male sexual anatomy - the other being the ridged bands which are in the same vicinity and also lost in the rite. Would you compare a surgery to remove the male prostatic utricle with a radical hysterectomy on the same basis, that the…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 09:40 AM
-1	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision Feminist Fran Hosken with her report to the UN in 1979 was largely responsible.

-1	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision the tradition was started by men What evidence do you have for that in the research? Are present day men responsible in any way for what their male ancestors did back in prehistoric times?	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 09:16 AM
-3	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision Feminists were the ones responsible for coining the discriminatory term "FGM" and they put their own sons through the rite or celebrated when family and friends did. It likely predates religion and certainly does with all presently practiced ones. In USA, which fiercely fights to maintain the rite when it comes to boys, it is the norm irrespective of religion. The reality is that it is the mother (in USA) who makes the decision when she signs the consent form. It is also mostly women who are the…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 09:10 AM

What were the legal consequences after a doctor in Perth killed a child and nearly killed his brother? Toddler dies and baby brother left in serious condition after circumcisions at Perth clinic most of the time I have witnessed in my career as a nurse it is actually the dad wanting the circumcision.

4	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision "FGM" is circumcision, its a category where the sex is female. It should be treated for what it is, a form of extreme child sexual abuse.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 08:45 AM
2	It’s hypocritical to be against FGM but not care about circumcision removing the clitoros is about taking away a woman’s ability to feel pleasure during sex "FGM" is any non medical injury inflicted on the female genitalia and never involves the removal of the clitoris, which if ever was a tradition would be a form of execution! The term "FGM" itself is discriminatory and highly misleading, as obviously not all injuries are mutilations. A baby just died last week from one. What case are you referring to? This tradition of inflicting injuries on a child's genital…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/04/26 08:42 AM
7	41 young men die in South Africa from circumcision procedures during initiation ceremonies You mean if dozens of girls were dying from having their genitals mutilated in the rite of circumcision? It doesn't take dozens of deaths, one verdict in a case is enough for that to be world news or even a higher estimate of girls being put through it! Western media, not least SoMe, has to keep up the false narrative of ritual injurying of a girl's genitals being always a mutilation whereas doing the same to a boy's is merely controversial, and that far more girls die as a result than boys.	/r/MensRights	31/12/25 12:44 PM
2	Feminists don't talk about circumcision, or any male issue enough, considering they say the Men's Rights Movement shouldn't exist. There’s little evidence to back up these claims… there is actual evidence that supports the OPPOSITE. “Some research from 2016 suggests... I'm interpreting that as you providing backup to your claims in what you regard as "actual evidence" however you neglect the source.

3	Feminists don't talk about circumcision, or any male issue enough, considering they say the Men's Rights Movement shouldn't exist. I’ve asked him about this genuinely if he thinks about it or wishes he had more feeling and his answer is always “No I’m very happy without my foreskin.” That’s where my feelings about it come from. Of course this is normal, that's what it means when a harmful cultural practice becomes normalised! You'll find exactly the same with women who have been put through this rite only you don't hear their voices only the minority ones who have to a large degree become Westernised and often recruited to …	/r/MensRights	08/11/25 11:09 PM
6	How misandry is the true thing that makes men redpill. Like that’s really bad and it’s something that needs to be raised awareness off for it’s own sake not to score points against feminists I think the killing of newborn babies and infants in a prehistoric sacrificial rite condoned by the state because they had the misfortune to be born with a penis, is a whole lot worse than really bad.

12	How misandry is the true thing that makes men redpill. I know plenty who care about male genital mutilation The problem with this claim is that no feminist really speaks out and says boys are discriminated against by "FGM" laws. When feminist's darling Waris Dirie boasted about putting her son Aleeke through the rite in her best selling book, no feminist batted an eyelid. The reason they don't care is because they weaponised the issue of GM back in the 70s to use in their fight against the patriarchy and there really isn't any going back on that bec…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	02/09/25 11:29 PM
1	361 boys dead in 5 years from South African circumcision rites. Where's the outrage for male-specific cultural violence? All I could find was 44,320 deaths annually across 15 African nations including South Africa Which is complete nonsense as it is an estimate based on a purported extra mortality using selected data as the norm. I was interested in this method because I'd tried to use it years ago but came to the conclusion the actual mortality rate is so low it is drowned out by other causes. I also looked at typical complications like tetanus but again drew a blank. There is simply no way this study can be reli…	/r/MensRights	04/08/25 12:33 AM

1	I’m genuinely starting to hate my parents for making me circumcised In terms of sexual pleasure, is what I meant, since the head of the penis (glans penis) is similar in sensitivity and arousal to the external nub of the clitoris (glans clitoris). You've got it all sadly wrong! Like I wrote the closest equivalent to the glans penis is the cervix. They're both buffers, meaning they are not meant to be sensitive as this would not be a good idea with that function!

The glans penis is orders off magnitude larger, is corpora spongiosa not cavernosa and is an integral part of the urinary and reproductive tract while the glans clitoris is neither. The closest female anatomical equivalent of the glans penis is the cervix. No, the glans penis is the least sensitive part of the penis. Circumcision ablates the most sensitive parts of the penis.

1	I’m genuinely starting to hate my parents for making me circumcised FGM is practiced to control women's sexuality, enforce virginity before marriage, and promote marital fidelity. It's a way of exerting control over women and girls within patriarchal systems.

1	Circumcision is Pretty Much Sexual Abuse There's large pyschological aspect to this rite but I don't believe it plays a significant role in self abuse. It is sexual abuse, in fact with a penectomy which is what you suffered, it falls under the modern definition of rape. This usually as is intended, results in trauma bonding, a survival mechanism when one is totally dependent on one's abusers. I suggest exploring that aspect of trauma for example mentioned here.	/r/MensRights	26/06/25 03:48 PM
1	Circumcision is Pretty Much Sexual Abuse I agree. All three of my kids (a son and two daughters) have piercings and tattoos and none were put through this rite. The difference is in the consent.

2	Circumcision is Pretty Much Sexual Abuse "FGM" is defined as a practice that involves altering or injuring the female genitalia for non-medical reasons, if "MGM" is similarly defined for male genitalia, what sense does that make?

1	Circumcision is Pretty Much Sexual Abuse Sexual assault causes mental scaring. Not necessarily eg the victim of upskirting who is never aware of it is not going to be effected by it. I however, don't even remember even having a foreskin. This is one of the excuses used by pedophiles eg like the ones who raped a one year old in Sudan or those rapists who drug their victims.

4	Circumcision is Pretty Much Sexual Abuse Its defined as any non medical injury. A mutilation generally implies a degree of severity that would at least exclude superficial injuries like a pin prick. In judicial cases courts have been divided in their rulings so for example the Australian High court has ruled that even a superificial pinprick when inflicted on a girl's genitals for non medical reasons, is a mutilation. This is in contrast to a case in the UK High Court where such an injury was ruled not to be a mutilation. In the widely…	/r/MensRights	24/06/25 11:49 PM

2	Long Island baby now faces heart transplant after botched circumcision, dad says Female circumcision is more invasive and more prone to infection than male circumcising, due to just the biological fact that the clitoris is not, anatomically, equivalent to foreskin. The clit is equivalent to the head of the penis, the labia is equivalent to foreskin. Female circumcision is the removal of the organ, the clitoris. Male circumcision does not cut off the head of the penis. So just as a medical fact, female circumcision is a more intensive operation. Additionally, because of just …	/r/MensRights	07/06/25 01:47 PM

Imagine if men said they really didn't care whether a woman had a clitoral glans, had labia etc. Most men know about the especially sensitive parts of the female genitals and the role they play in pleasuring.

Viruses are tiny and don't need microlesions to provide an entry point. The oral cavity has lots of microlesions and yet we don't see oral sex or kissing as a risk factor. Its more likely inbalances in the local environment where the immune system is busy and where different fluids mix providing favourable conditions.
