| 23 | Male Circumcision Had Major Benefits and we Should Stop Pretending Like it Doesn’t.we need to stop spreading the lies about sensitivity and satisfaction that all are unfounded and unsupported That amputating functional, innervated parts of the penile system permanently reduces functionality and sensitivity is not a lie; it's literally indisputable anatomical fact. You cannot ablate functional, innervated parts of a system without consequence--what you're claiming is literally physically impossible. You're ignorant of the functions of the foreskin, ridged band, and frenulum and… | /r/MensRights | 06/07/22 06:33 PM |
| 1 | Notch’s “bigoted and homophobic” tweets that got him banned from Minecraft’s 10th anniversary are nothing more then political opinions, whereas Cardi B drugged and raped men and is still galavanting around the world doing tours.The most offensive thing is him saying "you deserve to be shot" It's worth pointing out that in his next tweet he wrote "...by a photographer". The media didn't report that, though. They took his previous tweet out of context to deliberately misrepresent what he wrote. Notch tweets in succession all the time and his quotes are constantly cherry picked. People don't seem to realize he enjoys trolling people and exposing them for being propagandists and hypocrites. The sad part, though, is that it… | /r/MensRights | 06/06/19 03:17 PM |
| 4 | Study finds that circumcision INCREASES HIV rates.The pariah position that circumcision is an effective prophylactic in Africa is an embarrassment that is harming men and women in the African continent. The crusade by the U.S. is based on bad science and conjecture--biased conjecture at that as they take for granted that the African HIV trials of which they are basing their assumption that circumcision is an effective prophylactic have been heavily critiqued as methodologically flawed. There is a plethora of research out there that found null o… | /r/MensRights | 22/10/18 03:47 PM |
| 2 | Circumcision gives your child incomplete genitals, then claims it is just as good as intact ones.What you call propogandism, he would just call facts. He's a propagandist; he buries facts counter to his ideology so as to provide a warped view of the literature. Just look at the Wikipedia edit history for that article, including the debates among the editors. He spent years and years blocking any citation of peer-reviewed articles that demonstrated any negative effect of foreskin amputation, making thousands of edits religiously reverting any change that any other editor made, and bullying t… | /r/MensRights | 18/10/18 01:50 PM |
| 2 | Circumcision gives your child incomplete genitals, then claims it is just as good as intact ones.Yeah, that's where the ridged band and frenulum come in handy--it's mostly their job to keep the foreskin in place. Since I have neither of them, my strategy is to just keep on tugging to get more and more foreskin in compensation for their absence. | /r/MensRights | 17/10/18 08:45 PM |
| 5 | Circumcision gives your child incomplete genitals, then claims it is just as good as intact ones.Me too. I know I can never get back my ridged band or frenulum, but getting back even a pseudo-foreskin sheath that can cover my glans, lead to dekeratinization, and provide the gliding mechanism to facilitate movement and reduce friction during sex and masturbation will be worth it. PSA for those who don't know: there is a subreddit for foreskin restoration /r/foreskin_restoration | /r/MensRights | 17/10/18 08:31 PM |
| 1 | Circumcision gives your child incomplete genitals, then claims it is just as good as intact ones.Reading over the wikipedia article, I found some interesting sources that state that the connection between the foreskin and sexual pleasure has not been satisfactorily proven. Here's why I would advise everyone not to rely on the Wikipedia article on circumcision. It's unreliable due to a handful of pro-cutting propagandists having it on lockdown and bullying to submission anyone that tries to change it. Just read up on Jake Waskett, for instance. You can view the edit history page and verify t… | /r/MensRights | 17/10/18 08:04 PM |
| 6 | Circumcision gives your child incomplete genitals, then claims it is just as good as intact ones.So for the lack of a better comparison, it's like a protective clitoris? It's like a protective covering for the clitoris, yes--that is, the clitoral hood (which also is called a 'foreskin', by the way). The foreskin in both men and women is meant to protect the glans (head of the penis in men and the clitoris in women), keep them moist and sensitive, and keep out contaminants (see here for the male foreskin's immunological functions). Lots of people don't know that the glans of the penis, like … | /r/MensRights | 17/10/18 05:12 PM |
| 14 | Circumcision gives your child incomplete genitals, then claims it is just as good as intact ones.I cut my fingernails on a regular basis, in addition to my hair. Fingernails and hair grow back and cutting them doesn't hurt. In contrast, male genital mutilation is painful and permanently removes body parts that do not grow back. If it's not important to the body, and it's more convenient to not have it, than I'd rather not have it... It is important to the body! The foreskin, ridged band, and frenulum--the parts of the penile system ablated during routine infant "circumcision"--are not vesti… | /r/MensRights | 17/10/18 01:56 PM |
| 3 | Female Feminist Danish Health Minister says that Denmark will continue to circumcisie Danish boys. Previously she was "Minister for Children, Education & Equality". Male Genital Mutilation continues, with the direct collaboration of Feminists.suppressing the religious rights of their Muslim and Jewish minorities. I love how hypocrites cite "religious freedom" in defense of religious people carving their religion into the genitals of irreligious children, thereby violating children's religious freedom. | /r/MensRights | 16/08/18 03:45 PM |
| 3 | Female Feminist Danish Health Minister says that Denmark will continue to circumcisie Danish boys. Previously she was "Minister for Children, Education & Equality". Male Genital Mutilation continues, with the direct collaboration of Feminists.Is there a list of these US politicians we can post and share to avoid voting for them in the future? Eliot Engel is one of then. He wrote an official letter from his congressional office to Iceland demanding they abandon their proposed male genital mutilation age restriction. | /r/MensRights | 16/08/18 03:44 PM |
| 13 | Could circumcision be a good thing?All of those "medical benefits" have been debunked, but I'll do my own debunking here as well. UTIs Let's start with UTIs. Not only have the studies said claim was based on been debunked as methodologically flawed, but even then, the benefits do not outweigh the risks--literally. Here is the study said claim is based on: it says there is a 1% risk of a UTI in an intact male and that circumcising him creates a 2% risk hemorrhaging and infection, which completely defeats the purpose in the first p… | /r/MensRights | 07/08/18 02:27 PM |
| 6 | For a complete noob on MGM, can you guys clarify somethings on the supposed health benefits more specific the research surrounding it ?(Like by the CDC and American pediatric Association)I have also read that the American CDC also recommends circumcision, so how legit is their research? See my comment here regarding this claim. In that comment you'll find that the CDC policy statement was only a draft, was heavily rebuked as biased codswallop, and was subsequently never adopted as official policy. So, anyone who uses the CDC to propagandize for circumcision is engaging in several fallacies: the fallacy of incomplete evidence, the fallacy of appealing to authority, and the fallac… | /r/MensRights | 16/05/18 09:12 PM |
| 19 | Another day, another hypocritical thread over at r/sex regarding male genital cutting vs female genital cuttingIt's well known on Reddit that the moderators at /r/sex are biased hypocrites when it comes to genital mutilation. Here is a thread complaining about it two years ago. There have been many others. Insecure moderators with a personal agenda like that are one of the worst parts of Reddit, and I wish there was something Reddit would do about it. | /r/MensRights | 03/05/18 07:24 PM |
| 12 | PSA: Circumcision bans are to protect children from unwanted changes to their bodies. Grown men may still choose to change themselves as they decide.What makes you think the infant isn't interested in their religion? Because an infant's brain is far too underdeveloped to even comprehend basic language skills, let alone an entire religion. It's impossible for an infant to be interested in something they cannot understand. If they're Jewish, they have a Jewish soul. If Muslim they have a Muslim soul. That's ridiculous, and contradictory. If they already have a Jewish or Muslim soul, then they don't need to be mutilated, so forcibly mutilating … | /r/MensRights | 18/04/18 06:35 PM |
| 17 | PSA: Circumcision bans are to protect children from unwanted changes to their bodies. Grown men may still choose to change themselves as they decide.Its wrong to impose your secularism onto people who are not interested in it. But it's okay to impose your religion onto people who are not interested in it? Hypocrite alert. Permanently scarring the genitals of irreligious babies with the mark of your religion is an egregious violation of their religious freedom. | /r/MensRights | 18/04/18 03:04 PM |
| 7 | Rabbi Cardozo: outlawing circumcision would ‘end the state of Israel’Seriously. Imagine being so brainwashed that you actually believed that not forcibly mutilating the genitals of infant boys would lead to the complete collapse of your entire nation-state. If your entire country's existence relies solely on amputating penile tissue from non-consenting infants, it's probably a good sign your country does need to "end". | /r/MensRights | 17/04/18 10:00 PM |
| 1 | Philippines News Agency: "Young boys need to be prepared psychologically for circumcision"Now there's another question, why don't they? That's a good question. I'm guessing it's because they prioritize other teachings, and they're probably also worried about turning away Americans from the Church, in a time when attendance is already on a downward trend. I also think there is a disconnect--most Catholics in the world grew up in societies where circumcision is not the norm (e.g. Latin America), including the Pope. So it's probably just not an issue that comes up often. It's unfortunat… | /r/MensRights | 17/04/18 01:29 PM |
| 2 | Philippines News Agency: "Young boys need to be prepared psychologically for circumcision"I came across it by chance when browsing an intactivist website, actually. I had already decided to be an intactivist at that point for other reasons (mainly, resentment that medically unnecessary surgery was imposed on me that removed functional, innervated tissue, and which had been causing me some uncomfortableness on my glans), and when I encountered that bit, I was infuriated because that meant that, based on my parents' religious affiliation, I absolutely should not have been cut. It was e… | /r/MensRights | 17/04/18 12:56 AM |
| 2 | Philippines News Agency: "Young boys need to be prepared psychologically for circumcision"Even most Catholics are seemingly unaware of it, unfortunately, including my parents back when it mattered. A few years ago I showed them the quote from the Catechism and they were shocked. They had no idea that by circumcising me they were actually violating the Church's teachings. Even if you go over to /r/Catholicism/ you'll find many self-described Catholics trying to justify infant circumcision, even when presented with the quote above. No one likes admitting they not only mutilated their c… | /r/MensRights | 16/04/18 10:29 PM |
| 3 | Philippines News Agency: "Young boys need to be prepared psychologically for circumcision"They do claim to be the most Catholic nation on earth Which makes their circumcision obsession rather odd since the Catholic Church's catechism condemns non-therapeutic amputations (e.g. circumcision) as against the moral law: "Except when performed for strictly therapeutic medical reasons, directly intended amputations, mutilations, and sterilizations performed on innocent persons are against the moral law" | /r/MensRights | 16/04/18 08:24 PM |
| 11 | Stop Mutilating Male Genitals!They’re on the streets? Lol. I'm referring to street protests with placards, not being homeless. Many anti-circumcision organizations have regular protest tours that take them across the U.S. The next big one is in Washington, DC for National Genital Integrity Awareness Week: https://www.genitalintegrityawarenessweek.com/ I have never in my life, not once , met another male who was upset about having their dick circumcised as a child This is unsurprising. Most cut men are completely ignorant of … | /r/MensRights | 18/03/18 10:10 PM |
| 15 | Stop Mutilating Male Genitals!Where is the outcry from men across the world that hate their parents for making that decision for them They're everywhere. They're on the streets in cities all across the U.S. via non-profit organizations like Bloodstained Men, Saving Sons, Intact America, Bay Area Intactivists, various NORM chapters, and dozens more organizations. They're online on Reddit in subreddits like /r/MensRights, /r/Intactivists, /r/Foreskin_Restoration, /r/Foregen, and they're all over #i2 on Twitter, Facebook, and I… | /r/MensRights | 18/03/18 07:38 PM |
| 15 | Honest problem: circumcision and the whole "MGM" discussion sort of ticks me off.I understand the visceral reaction to the word mutilation. As an American cut at birth, I once felt the same way. I was 22, in an international program with a smorgasbord of similarly aged Americans, Canadians, Brits, Aussies, Kiwis, etc. In the downtime at orientation, the conversation turned to sex and the non-American men and women went on and on and on about how much better an intact penis is, how it's more sensitive, smoother, less friction, better for masturbation, better for vaginal sex, … | /r/MensRights | 04/12/17 10:01 PM |
| 14 | Watch me get banned from /r/sex for calling circumcision MGM.circumcision is already a neutral term Circumcision isn't a "neutral term"; it's a euphemism that doesn't even accurately describe the procedure. Mutilation does indeed carry a negative connotation--as it should--but its definition is clear: to injure, disfigure, or make imperfect by removing or irreparably damaging parts What does circumcision (the procedure) do? It injures, disfigures, and makes imperfect the penis by removing or irreparably damaging parts. That is a fact. Ridged band? Gone. F… | /r/MensRights | 04/12/17 02:38 PM |
| 2 | Vice tries to convince male circumcision is good practice and women prefer that.Yes, it's very vexing. Not only should the Bossio et al. study never been published (I still have no idea how it made it past peer review and editorial review at the Journal of Urology), but it should've been retracted once its flaws were exposed by Earp, Frisch, Rotta, and Van Howe. Yet, it still remains in the journal. Even worse, though, is the media reaction to it, with a bunch of journalists clearly unqualified to evaluate scientific research exaggerating the results and blasting the headli… | /r/MensRights | 24/09/17 04:07 AM |
| 4 | Vice tries to convince male circumcision is good practice and women prefer that.You are right that the Bossio et al. study is bullshit. It's been debunked several times over as being methodologically flawed and illogically concluded, here by Brian Earp in the peer-reviewed journal Trends in Urology and Men's Health, and again here by Frisch, again by Rotta, and again by Van Howe et al. in letters to the editor of the journal that published the original article. | /r/MensRights | 22/09/17 08:55 PM |
| 2 | A newborn bled to death from a routine circumcision yesterday in Texas.Oh, I believe you. I was born and raised Catholic in a very Catholic family, in a very Catholic area, and I was cut at birth, and pretty much all of my Catholic male friends in that area were too. When I showed that quote from the catechism to my mother, she was blown away. She had no idea. And she never would've done it to me had she known. I think this is a good opportunity for us to write the bishops of our local dioceses and remind them that circumcision is against the moral law, according t… | /r/MensRights | 30/08/17 05:14 PM |
| 1 | A newborn bled to death from a routine circumcision yesterday in Texas.The Catholic Church condones circumcision and most people in my area are Catholic. I think you mean condemns. I think it's pretty clear that the Church condemns routine infant circumcision under the "Respect for bodily integrity" section of the Catechism of the Catholic Church: Except when performed for strictly therapeutic medical reasons, directly intended amputations, mutilations, and sterilizations performed on innocent persons are against the moral law (p. 553) Every medical organization in… | /r/MensRights | 30/08/17 05:02 PM |
| 5 | What gender-related double standard annoys you the most?Indeed. That's probably the most vexing thing about it: most parents who order the circumcisions of their baby boys have no idea what it entails. They've never seen one. They know nothing about the anatomy of male genitalia, nor anything about how barbaric and painful the procedure is. If there were a law that required viewing a video of a circumcision as a condition before signing the consent form, circumcision rates would plummet instantly. | /r/MensRights | 03/02/16 03:59 AM |
| 9 | What gender-related double standard annoys you the most?Indeed. Why don't people understand that genital mutilation is not a pissing contest? Never, in the history of logic or ethics, has it been justifiable to do something bad just because something arguably worse exists, as if it is perfectly okay to stab someone because, well, at least you didn't kill him. People who try to downplay MGM using FGM are illogical hypocrites. | /r/MensRights | 02/02/16 04:11 PM |
| 67 | What gender-related double standard annoys you the most?What gender-related double standard annoys you the most? Circumcision. It's mind-boggling to me that people can realize it's unjust to mutilate a girl's genitals at birth, without her consent, but then completely fail to realize that it is equally as unjust to mutilate a boy's genitals at birth, without his consent. Even worse is the incredibly offensive, superficial justifications they cite for doing it, such as "an uncircumcised one is so gross!" That is pure misandry, and a double standard, a… | /r/MensRights | 01/02/16 05:10 PM |
