–	Hey guys! AMA 2, Electric Boogaloo: I'm a FTM transman who is happy to answer questions on the difference in experiencing life as male versus female. I can't count how many times I've had self proclaimed feminists tell me I'm some monster misogynist traitor because I'm FTM. Interesting. Were they radical feminists by any chance?	/r/MensRights	23/06/15 09:43 AM
9	South African boys saved from forced circumcision by Police It's done to for aesthetic purposes and to prevent smegma and sweat build up. Aesthetic reasons alone are not good enough of a reason to do it and to my understanding, women are just as capable of getting smegma as well yet there no parts are being modified there, aesthetic or otherwise. You also don't need to run to the bathroom before becoming intimate to clean yourself. Huh? That... does not happen. babies don't consent to any medical procedures either It does not follow that they have no bod…	/r/MensRights	19/06/15 07:17 PM
–	South African boys saved from forced circumcision by Police I am well aware of non-preventable circumstances. Still, I find the procedure rather stupid to do in most cases as the majority who have not gone through with the procedure are perfectly fine.	/r/MensRights	19/06/15 06:32 PM
–	South African boys saved from forced circumcision by Police It is important to take into account how these infections and problems came into place. I have seen plenty of misinformation regarding how to take care of a young boy's foreskin and with the infections that later happen due to this, it is unsurprising that circumcision is the option that is resorted to. Since the parents are beliving this is the "correct" way of taking care of such a body part, people will arrive to the wrong conclusion about how healthy it is to have a foreskin. There are plent…	/r/MensRights	19/06/15 06:00 PM
7	Circumcision: Babies feel pain like adults. They remember pain for months (at least). And they have a lower pain threshold than adults. Cutting is barbaric, cutting and just assuming they don't feel pain is monstrous. MRAs have no official stance on abortion. Though I do hope you are against circumcision yourself as this is not a justification for circumcision, but rather an argument against this supposed hypocrisy. To be fair though, circumcision involves one human being that will grow up to become independent of its parents while abortion involves the women's body itself so there are two parties to take into consideration there unlike one for circumcision.	/r/MensRights	21/04/15 05:50 PM

Cutting is barbaric, cutting and just assuming they don't feel pain is monstrous. Here are a list of several double standards I see around this topic: "Justification" My Response Most men I know are happy they are circumcised - somehow this argument works... Most men I know are happy they are uncircumcised - yet this somehow does not really work. Burden of proof lies upon the one who changes the default state (born with foreskin), not the other way around. Baby boys are less likely to get UTIs... Yeah, there is certainly a controversy over that though being fair, nobody sugge…	/r/MensRights	21/04/15 05:46 PM
4	Outlaw circumcision, dick tip cannot ever be brought back No, but it does show how consistent you are. If you have to pick and choose where to apply the "my child, my choice" argument it, your argument is shitty and invalid in the first place. I wouldn't make such a comparison in the first place as it is a bit extreme. The logic still stands however.	/r/MensRights	26/02/15 04:02 PM

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
