1	Your thoughts on male circumssision? Yes, uncircumcised males have more UTI’s than circumcised males There is no credible evidence to support that claim. This claim rests on a series of observational studies published in the 1980s by Thomas Wiswell (who incidentally happens to have also been active in several circumcision fetish communities.) These used pre-existing data sets, and were criticized at the time by the AAP for poor methodology. He claimed to show routine infant circumcision lowered the risk of UTI during the first year…	/r/MensRights	09/04/24 06:39 PM
1	Your thoughts on male circumssision? If there's no medical emergency (example phimosis) then it's genital mutilation. Phimosis is not a medical emergency. It means the foreskin can't be retracted to expose the glans. It is normal during childhood and not something that needs to be treated. It is rare in adulthood, but when it happens, and if it causes a problem (it doesn't always), then most cases can be solved by non-surgical means. There are also surgical treatments that cure it that cause less damage than circumcision. Circumcis…	/r/MensRights	09/04/24 06:33 PM
3	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. More than half of 9 year old boys have a foreskin that can't be retracted. That's normal, and doesn't need to be treated. Went twice to some doctor that tried to fix it by pulling as hard on my dick as she could, needless to say the pain was bad and the foreskin never "unglued" itself. You were sexually assaulted and abused by this doctor! For anyone who wants to know more about the anatomy involved, and how it normally develops, and how to care for it, I recommend the following very detailed ex…	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 10:07 PM
5	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. It doesn't actually prevent it, but it removes a lot of sensation from the penis, and makes masturbation physically more difficult because it removes most of the mobile parts. It was once thought this would discourage masturbation. Circumcision was also used as a punishment for boys caught masturbating, and it was hoped memory of the pain would put them off from doing it again.	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 02:21 PM
5	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. Having been circumcised as a boy due to phimosis And that was almost certainly medical malpractice. Phimosis means a foreskin that can't be retracted. It's normal during childhood, and not a thing that needs to be treated or cured. If it happens in an adult, which it doesn't very often, it can usually be cured without surgery.	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 03:34 AM
3	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. I don't understand what point you are trying to make. You argued that removing the foreskin from baby boys is a good idea to prevent future problems, saying it is just like removing wisdom teeth for the same reason. But, you also said "my wisdom teeth were removed and caused no issues", but you go on to say wisdom tooth removal caused you problems. You are completely inconsistent, and so at least some of the things you have written here must be lies. Edit: I was quoting you above, you wrote the …	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 03:16 AM
3	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. In that case, unless your wisdom teeth were causing you a serious problem, it probably would have been best if they hadn't been removed.	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 03:08 AM
6	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. The other author is Thomas E Wiswell. A fellow circumcision fetishist, having been active in several circumcision fetish groups. He is the origin of the claim routine infant circumcision lowers the risk of UTI. He published a series of observational studies in the 1980s. These used pre-existing data sets, and were criticized at the time by the AAP for poor methodology. He claimed to show routine infant circumcision lowered the risk of UTI during the first year of life by about 1% (absolute), the…	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 03:00 AM
3	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. I have heard of a few cases, all in the USA, where wisdom tooth removal was recommended and was carried out as a preventative measure, even though the teeth were not causing any problem, and did not show any indication that they would. This is not usual in most of the world. Still, it is not normal to remove the tissue that will become wisdom teeth from infants. We should also note that wisdom tooth removal is one of the procedures that is classified as minor surgery that has one of the highest …	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 02:57 AM
6	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. Infant circumcision is less risky and more beneficial than adult circumcision anyway. This claim is also untrue. Adult circumcision has a lower risk of serious complications. For example, even a small loss of blood can kill a baby. Adult circumcision also has more predictable outcomes, the patient can have a say in how he wants the procedure done, and exactly how much of which parts he wants removed (there are choices), can be given adequate pain relief (which is not safe to use in babies), is l…	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 02:45 AM
6	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. There has never been even one published clinical trial to see whether routine infant circumcision could reduce the risk of UTI. Developed countries that do not widely practice routine infant circumcision (most of them) do not have higher rates of UTI than than the USA.	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 02:42 AM

6	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. Your link is to an article by Brian J Morris - a pedophile and infamous circumcision fetishist. He openly calls himself 'circumsexual'. Even most of the minority in the medical community who think routine circumcision is a good idea think Morris is a deranged idiot. He has dedicated a lot of his life to promoting circumcision, including publishing dozens of fake scientific papers, full of nonsense and lies. If you actually bother to look critically at his papers, you'll find at least a third of …	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 02:34 AM
6	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. I guess you forgot that circumcision reduces UTIs and STD risk and makes hygiene easier. There is no credible evidence to support any of those claims. You make them simply because you are ignorant and have been indoctrinated by your local culture.	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 02:32 AM
7	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. The risks of not getting circumcised are higher than the risks associated with circumcision That is completely untrue and utter nonsense. You have no idea of what you are talking about. For example, approx 10% of males circumcised in infancy go on to need surgery to correct meatal stenosis at least once during their life. Not even 1% of males with whole genitals ever need to have surgery on their penis for any reason. I think you fail to understand that the vast majority of males in the world ha…	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 02:30 AM
9	The west and uncircumcision propaganda. Middle-Eastern religions practised circumcision as a rite due to the medical necessity of not getting sand under the foreskin in countries where basically no water was available to wash it out There is no credible evidence to support that claim. So far as we can tell, circumcision was sometimes practiced pre-religion as a way to mark in or out of group membership. For example, it could be to show a man is a member of some community, or to mark those captured or enslaved as not being a member of …	/r/MensRights	02/10/23 02:15 AM
7	Mayor branded racist resigns amid circumcision row In many western countries the mainstream political view has been warped such that criticism of religion, especially minority ones, is considered to be racism. That way awkward questions about religion can be dismissed as hateful without having to think about them.	/r/MensRights	10/06/23 06:45 PM
5	Mayor branded racist resigns amid circumcision row The AAP has not issued any statement on male genital cutting since 2012. Why do you bother coming to a forum about men's rights to promote the genital mutilation of baby boys? You just need to fuck off now.	/r/MensRights	10/06/23 05:08 PM
5	Mayor branded racist resigns amid circumcision row The WHO is fraudulent when it comes to claims about circumcision and HIV in Africa. It engaged a special circumcision advisor to write its policy on this. This was a man who invented and held the rights to a medical device used to perform circumcision, and was on the board of a medical equipment manufacturer. A majority of the areas in Africa where there have been WHO instigated circumcision programs have seen an increase in HIV cases compared to others nearby. NGOs are being paid for each circu…	/r/MensRights	10/06/23 05:06 PM
4	Mayor branded racist resigns amid circumcision row Error 400. Very enlightening!	/r/MensRights	10/06/23 05:05 PM
5	Mayor branded racist resigns amid circumcision row That came from a statement published by the AAP in 2012, and expired in 2017. Right now the AAP has no official position on the topic. It's worth keeping in mind the following additional points about the statement: The technical report the AAP published alongside the statement said it didn't know the incidence of complications arising from circumcision. In that case, its claim about benefits outweighing the risks is dishonest. Many professional medical societies from round the world published a …	/r/MensRights	10/06/23 05:04 PM
5	Mayor branded racist resigns amid circumcision row Brian J Morris A pedophile who openly calls himself circumsexual. He used to publish pornographic literature about young boys being circumcised. He collaborated with a convicted pedophile to publish what purported to be information leaflets for new parents, of course encouraging circumcision. He spends a lot of his time writing fake scientific papers promoting genital cutting. It's very obvious you have absolutely no knowledge of what you are talking about, and you are a prime example of misandr…	/r/MensRights	10/06/23 04:53 PM
2	Circumcision Is Fraud. Assuming your claim of 15% is correct, I'm not certain it is. You are out of date on the Muslim population, there has been close to exponential growth in it for a few years. I can believe some men end up being circumcised because of bad medical information. However, I lived in the UK for a while. The number of circumcised men noticed in the gym locker room was exactly zero. Infant circumcision for non-religious reasons is just about non-existent in the UK.	/r/MensRights	15/06/21 08:04 PM
1	Circumcision Is Fraud. Maybe read the comment you are replying to before replying.	/r/MensRights	15/06/21 07:41 PM
2	Circumcision Is Fraud. Circumcision has never been part of the general culture in the UK. I don't know the current rate of infant circumcision in the UK. I do know about 10% of the population is Muslim. Circumcision outside of circumcising religious groups is very low in the UK today, certainly under 1%.	/r/MensRights	15/06/21 07:39 PM
3	Circumcision Is Fraud. Circumcision of a large portion of the population is mostly restricted to the places you mention, but it is at least tolerated and de-facto legal (even if not within the letter of the law) just about everywhere. The UK has a reasonably large private healthcare sector and there's no particular reason to think state funded healthcare is going to be withdrawn. The UK will not 'return to the practice' because it never has been a widespread practice there. For a time circumcision was fairly common in…	/r/MensRights	15/06/21 07:24 PM
4	CDC pushes infant circumcision on Botswana, pats itself on the back for making a "HIV free generation" It was really just one because the same people did the same thing in 3 different places at about the same time.	/r/MensRights	20/10/18 10:32 PM
9	CDC pushes infant circumcision on Botswana, pats itself on the back for making a "HIV free generation" Anything with the name Brian Morris on it is a mountain of lies stacked on more lies. He has dedicated much of his life to generating fake scientific studies and literature about circumcision. He is also a sick circumcision fetishist - he is turned on by seeing and hearing about boys being circumcised. If you haven't heard of him before, a bit of research will reveal some very disturbing facts about him. Even most of those who think circumcision is a good thing think he is a deranged idiot.	/r/MensRights	20/10/18 10:21 PM
11	CDC pushes infant circumcision on Botswana, pats itself on the back for making a "HIV free generation" The idea circumcision lowers the risk of HIV is because of a very, very badly done study carried out in three places in Africa. Its results aren't really believable, but even if they are true the reduction is risk was only around 1%, the 60% figure was the relative reduction in risk and it's often quoted without qualification to deliberately mislead. The authors of the study, as incompetent as they were, said the results were only relevant to adult men circumcised in some countries in Africa. Th…	/r/MensRights	20/10/18 09:24 PM
