Thank you. Was looking for this answer. Feminism is just one element of "Cultural Marxism", which is fundamentally anti-White Male.

Yeah reducing birth rates (especially in parts of the world where it's ridiculously high, like Africa) will take a huge strain off the environment.

Supply and demand can drive prices lower (and will, especially as diagnostics prices fall). Price is formed at the margin, it's not a function of how important something is to people.

Yeah, the irony is that within the next 15 years or so, it'll be possible (and commonplace) for parents to choose their children's specific traits before they are born. And I guarantee you'll see many other races choosing to give their children "white-like" features, both physical and mental.

No pediatrician that understands male anatomy recommends cleaning under a child's foreskin. Not one.
/r/MensRights06/06/14 03:44 PM

No you don't shove a brush up a vagina and scrub away. But you do gently clean under the foreskin as much as exposed when pulling back until resistance. I guess harmful bacteria is sexist, because it only latches onto dirty penises and leaves the pure, perfect, blessed, holy vaginas alone. And I guess we shouldn't listen to the advice of pediatricians in the vast majority of developed non-circumcising countries.

Are you claiming the PH balance under the foreskin doesn't matter or doesn't exist? They are both mucosal membranes that are highly innervated. Just because one happens to be part of the Holy Blessed Pure Gender doesn't make it any different or superior.

You appear to be very emotional about this topic... You know the quickest way to give a baby a rash and possible skin infection? Not cleaning it's fucking skin and folds of skin. But wait, earlier you said we shouldn't clean the interior of girls' vaginas. What's the distinction?

Yeah, it's not perfect. Unfortunately we live in a society where if a man complains about his own circumcision he's met with denigration and laughter.

Circumcision is not an MRA issue. It was feminists who started the anti-circumcision movement. I remember, because I was there in San Francisco in the early '90s. We handed out leaflets on the damage, history and rationalizations of circumcision to a lot of confused and uncomfortable looking passers-by. Notice how actual activism in the streets was involved, then feel bad because you've never actually been an activist about anything. You members of the Elliot Rodgers fan club will pick up any ro…

Nah, it involves a pinprick on the clitoris, or the removal of the clitoral hood (which is just like the foreskin on the male). The infibulation you're talking about is more rare. Also: you have a lot of nerve talking to the victim of genital mutilation like that. Do you have all of your genitals?

Good job. My problem with feminists is they try to own gender issues, and I think it's appropriate and helpful to bring up our own gender issues when they raise theirs. This isn't necessarily to debate them so much as it is to point out that both genders have certain grievances we'd like to see addressed. I don't know of a single man that even tacitly supports FGM of any kind. But I've seen many feminists support MGM (circumcision). Circumcision also happens to be one issue that we can effective…

The point of /r/Intactivists isn't to preach to the choir, it's to make yourself better-informed about circumcision in the news (as current events related to it) and various community efforts to educate others about circumcision.

Right. It's very sad to think about, so I can't dwell on it for very long. The unfortunate thing is that most men don't view this as an important issue, so young boys will continue to be victims.

an important tradition for some groups, dating back thousands of years This has absolutely nothing to do with human rights. to amputating a clitoris Most female circumcisions aren't that drastic - they involve a simple pinprick of the clitoris, or the removal of the clitoral hood (which is analogous to the male foreskin). It's a throwaway issue at best, and a dangerous distraction at worst. This offends me very much, as someone who feels sexually violated by my own circumcision.

Can we just realize that both men and women have problems? Oh totally, I agree.

It's a trump card insofar as egregious physical violations that cannot be corrected. Women whine often about body image and the media, but men are made to feel shamed if they are intact. Further, circumcision is actually the butt of jokes in comedies. I'm not claiming that this is a universal trump card, but it's definitely important to pound this point home as often as possible.

The title of the post isn't an effort to trump, it's just pointing out that men have their rights violated en-mass in such a way that it cannot be corrected. Whatever rights violations women face in the West can easily be corrected by treating them differently. Men who are circumcised will never be able to get that back. It's an egregious violation of rights.

I think it's important to point out that the sexual violation is very important to some men - it doesn't matter that all men agree. Some men feel very violated by circumcision (including myself), and would be willing to put up with other rights violations in order to have an intact body. There is no supreme hierarchy of which rights are more valuable than other rights. Circumcision is widespread and heinous, so women don't have a monopoly on oppression in society.

There are to many factors of ED to say for certain the circumcision is the cause. It's the conclusion the Danish physicians came to when they found that circumcised men suffered ED at a rate over 4x as much as intact men. That's what I meant by anesthesia. Why would you be OK with your son being awake for this? Have you ever watched a video on youtube of a baby boy being circumcised? It's horrific.

Many men who don't want to ever have children would still rather sacrifice sexual pleasure by using a condom instead of getting a vasectomy just because the thought of surgery on their junk freaks them out. It doesn't mean vasectomies are inherently wrong. It just means guys don't like the idea of having sharp objects near their genitals. Agreed! And it's fantastic they get to make that choice! Baby boys should be allowed to make the same choice when it comes to circumcision.

No, it's harder as an infant. For one thing, an infant can't be anesthetized in the same way an adult can - putting a baby to sleep is impossible without risking his life. Second, because an infant's penis isn't yet developed, the surgery is much more risky and focuses on a much smaller area. Baby boys actually die from circumcisions every year, but their deaths are attributed to infections and blood loss, rather than the circumcision itself. Some have their penises irreversibly damaged and have…

You are mutilated. :( I'm sorry man, and I know it's sometimes called an insensitive thing to say. But infant circumcision is the very definition of mutilation. If you have a problem with this, take it up with the English language. I'm mutilated too. It pisses me off. It's why I spend so much effort and time trying to save baby boys from the same fate. The absolute worst thing we can do for future generations of boys and men is to deny that we were mutilated and not talk openly about it.

Well, I have no problems, and wouldn't appreciate feeling chafing more vividly just to orgasm faster (which is usually a problem, right?) The vast majority (over 95%) of intact men don't get a circumcision later in life. It's because they prefer having their whole penis, and they don't think the supposed benefits of circumcision outweigh the cons (loss of sexual function and sensation).

You're talking about guys who got circumcised as adults because they had phimosis. The vast majority of intact men choose to remain intact. That says more than any scientific study ever could. Circumcision of infants persists precisely because it is non-voluntary.

It's a shame we don't have more in-depth scientific studies on the subject of circumcision. It would be great to be able to show that this mutilation doesn't offer any health benefits. Americans will keep cutting their sons until the AAP finally admits they were pushing an unnecessary surgery. Hell, it's already unnecessary - that alone ought to make it illegal to perform on babies.

Teachers should assure boys that they are just as academic as girls and avoid doing anything which could make them feel inferior such as splitting classes by gender, they said.

Hmm yes, it's tough to predict how society would react though.

The problem is that we're still a far way from growing skin that has the same nerves, muscle, and vascularity of normal skin.

If a foreskin were like an earlobe, I wouldn't be nearly as angry about missing mine. But from everything I've read (and seen), foreskin is just as sensitive as the glans.

If they could figure out how to grow back mens foreskins, it would be the biggest medical breakthrough since penicillin.

That's an interesting theory. There's definitely a ton of subconscious stuff going on to keep circumcision in vogue.

That's true, but they need to do it to children because if they waited until it was voluntary, circumcision rates would drop to less than 1%. That would destroy the pretense that "he would want to be circumcised" - a similar pretense a rapist has, "she'd want to have sex with me".

9 times out of 10, when I hear about a child "needing" a circumcision, it's usually due to the ignorance of the doctors/parents about how a developing penis functions. They've usually attempted to pull the child's foreskin back to clean under it, which causes tears and then infections. This is tantamount to douching your baby daughter's vagina with vinegar daily and sticking your finger up there to tear her hymen, and then wondering why she's got an infection.

How would the poor not own land? Land is a scarce resource, and purchasing all of it would be impossible because the price of the remaining land would continually rise as it becomes less-available for the poor to use.

But if nobody's making stuff anymore, because nobody can afford stuff anymore... won't people just start making stuff themselves? Finding chickens, breeding them, firewood, growing trees... then you'd have the division of labor re-emerge as people trade for things like shoes, bread, glassware... I honestly don't think you understand economics all that well. Have you ever taken a class on it?

So if a factory mass-produces corn, Lexus cars, clothes, homes, etc. the rich people will just buy up all that stuff? Mass production precludes this. Wealthy people don't buy quantity (except in a few commodities like land or homes). They buy quality. Ideas aren't subject to economics because they aren't scarce resources.

I think you're misunderstanding how a free market works, because you seem to think it has a centralizing effect on wealth, when empirical evidence and history show it is actually decentralizing and dynamic. Also, you mentioned patents in your list. Patents are a creation of governments, not free markets. They are enforced using taxpayer money and government courts/police. They are aggressive in nature, and as such we don't consider them to be market-oriented. Keep in mind that in a free market, …

So there would be millions of starving people because machines would be producing everything society could possibly want, eliminating the need for human labor? Do you not see the contradiction in your own train of thought? Who would purchase the astounding quantity of goods and services the robots produce? Other robots? xD Value is derived from internal human judgments. It is not inherent in goods/services. Under socialism, the underclass is replaced by machines and joins the capital class freed…

Sure. Just like there are observed character flaws in heterosexual people.

Homophobia didn't really hit me until I was older, and a bit wiser. That's when I recognized I was gay, and noticed the character flaws in the people making homophobic comments. When I was younger, I knew 100% that I was a boy, and not a girl. So hearing rude things about boys really hurt me, because I wasn't yet at the age where I was a critical thinker.

The problem is it's not possible to distinguish between these different types of property. All capital goods exist to satisfy one single function: the greater happiness of the owner. A factory, or a tree, or an iPod, or a loaf of bread are all useful in this way. The distinction between them is arbitrary.

The problem with this is the fact it doesn't have a mechanism for determining who has rights to using scarce resources. This is the purpose of economics - to avoid physical conflicts associated with disputes over scarce resources. Communism could only work if there was perfect abundance - without scarcity, everyone could have everything they wanted. Capitalism functions because it shuns the use of aggressive force. Instead, people are urged to voluntarily trade with one another. People won't do …

I'm an anarcho-capitalist. You need a government in order to have socialism, which is the forced redistribution of capital. Anarchists who claim to be socialists or communists are committing an error in reasoning - voluntary sharing and charity can occur in a capitalist society. That's not precluded by free markets.

I'm a gay man. I vividly remember being a child and hearing these "girls are better than boys" messages growing up, and the confusion and pain it caused me. I also recall hearing rude remarks about gay people and growing up seeing tons of media where girls get the guy (and zero media showing two princes hooking up). But this didn't cause me as much internal anger as the anti-male messages did. When children are young, it's extremely important to cut out the political collectivist bullshit.

I suspect their sons will have a lot more to worry about than just being circumcised. A man who's like that is probably not going to be a great father generally.

It's not the real reason. The real reason is that dad's ego would be damaged if his son had a complete penis.

Well, over a hundred girls every year die as a result of female genital mutilation In the West? Over 100 baby boys die every year as a result of male genital mutilation, and the people who do that are almost never charged with a crime - and MGM occurs both in Western nations and African/Middle Eastern nations. So no, you don't "win". This isn't a competition to see who's more persecuted. I'm simply pointing out that your effort to discount sexism in this case is flawed because you can't find a s…

Yeah that's really great, I'm glad someone had the balls to include that in a movie. I never saw the film, but did the parents end up circumcising their son?

I don't view it as so much a part of the MR movement as much as a simple acknowledgment that the government has clearly failed in its purpose here: to provide justice. If a government continually fails to provide justice, and it's not possible to reform the government via democratic (or other) means, wouldn't you agree that force is necessary? Or should all humans, no matter how oppressed and mistreated, suffer willingly at the hands of their tax-eating masters?

She should've just said she was trying to circumcise him. She would've gotten off scott free.

Sure, that's a possibility. And I would take that possibility seriously if you can find me a similar incident (anywhere in human history) where a man did the same thing to a woman (cut her genitals/breasts off) and she died from bleeding, and he was sentenced to only 3.5 years in jail. Could you find me a case like that?

But if you're insane to the point that you're killing people, why would you be allowed back on the streets? Seems illogical. The judge took into account Chen's early guilty plea, her prior good character, her remorse and the unlikelihood that she will re-offend.

I mean really the only way around this broken justice system is vigilante justice, which in my view would be totally reasonable in a case like this.

Notice the language in the first sentence of the news story: A SYDNEY woman who chopped off part of her former lover's penis to stop him targeting other women has been jailed for at least three years and nine months for his killing. "to stop him targeting other women" "for his killing" (passive, rather than active) Astounding.

Great post. I feel the same way you do. This isn't about statistical minutia (which is flimsy anyway). It's about human rights. It's about choice. I was sexually violated as an infant, and now I'm reminded of that every time I see my penis. I think it makes it worse knowing that most people in the US don't see it as a big deal, or as a "parent's choice". At least afford me the dignity of thinking what was done to me is absolutely necessary and a big deal! But no, they are flippant about it. "Eh,…

You ancaps and libertarians always argue in the same fashion. First, you presuppose that a certain distribution should serve as the morally privileged benchmark. Is this not the same thing you're doing when you argue in favor of democracy and various strains of socialism? I am a consequentialist (as are most ancaps, but a few will disagree), which simply means I happen to believe universal respect for property rights will yield the maximum amount of human happiness. My reasoning behind this beli…

A government is just a formalization of society I've never seen this definition of government anywhere else. I use Max Weber's definition typically taught in Political Science 101: "territorial monopolist of coercion". If it were true that a government was just a "formalization of society" (whatever "society" means), I'd be fine with that! The problem comes when it's a monopolist of the provision of certain goods/services and it demands people pay it under threat of force. Discussions about comm…

I don't get where this idea comes from, that without a government to dole out stuff like roads, education, security, help for the poor, etc. we wouldn't have these things. The government is a huge middle-man. It takes a massive cut for itself. So any argument in favor of government redistribution of wealth is is overlooking the fact that the government is primarily interested in feeding its own spending habits, rather than helping the poor. Second, you don't explain why a government should even …
