Telling people that circumcision will make it less likely for them to get HIV would cause people to use condoms less due to an unwarranted sense of safety with unprotected sex.

Oooh, you're right, it's actually way higher. There's roughly 5 million new HIV cases per year, 4.2 million of which are adults. http://www.yale.edu/yaw/world.html Edit: Using small percentage number to show the risk of transmission per contact is skewing the numbers too.

What if I found studies which found STD transmission was reduced with female circumcision? If there were studies showing that the risks of FGM were outweighed by the public health benefit, then we'd be having this same conversation. Even if the claims about std prevention are accepted, circumcision certainly is not required for an effective std prevention strategy. That's true. Unfortunately, in places like Africa, condom use is not 100%. Abstinence is an effective STD prevention practice as wel…

The less common complications include misscuts or infections leading to loss of entire penis FUD. Loss of penis due to circumcision is borderline nonexistent. The only references I could find were to a 1985 catholic propaganda poster, and a 1994 case in Israel. I think I'd rather educate my son and take that small risk than take those larger risks.

The most commonly reported complications were pain or mild bleeding. There were no reported deaths or long-term sequelae documented As a 4th year medical student, how would you compare "pain or mild bleeding" to "death?"

To sum up points made elsewhere: It does have a potential therapeutic value, you just don't want to believe it Foreskin is not a human right Calling circumcision a "human rights issue" is harmful to actual human rights issues. Having your foreskin removed is not comparable to being gunned down based on your skin color, or being denied the right to choose your government based on your tribe.

Actually, the risk is about halved in circumcised males, and the overall risk runs at about 0.1% per intercourse. You were only off by a factor of 600. http://www.thebody.com/content/art1094.html

I wouldn't say it's a defect, although that is probably arguable. However, I think there's little doubt about whether having something like that will affect a child's emotional growth when they get made fun of it in school for the next 18 years.

Ah... what are you basing the claim that these studies are "heavily contested" on? They are all published studies by respected institutions. You haven't presented any evidence, just personal opinions. Yes, The BMA stance in it is about the same as the AMA: "Needs more study."

Actually (as pointed out above) circumcision has proven medical benefits as well, people just want to ignore them to push an agenda.

Would you have preferred I use the hairy mole argument instead? Sigh... If your child was born with a large hairy mole on their face, would you have it removed, considering that it is non life-threatening, and could lead to scarring and infection?

Numerous, numerous studies have shown it is NOT purely cosmetic. Do I need to look them all up for you again? Says the UN, the WHO, and the CDC: " ...evidence indicates male circumcision significantly reduces the risk of HIV acquisition by men during penile-vaginal sex."

I'm not entirely clear on what the "goals of adulthood and maturity" are that we (both men and women) are intended to aspire to. Is marriage one of them? That means Britney Spears is more mature than I. Having children? There was a 12-year old who delivered at my hospital; apparently more of an adult than I ever will be. Or perhaps we are expected to forego entertainment and bind ourselves to another person via a religious institution (denied to gays, mind you, who can apparently never be adults…

My point was less about the specific age, and more about pointing out that this argument isn't about "being able to consent to permanent alterations of [the child's] body", but rather personal feelings about circumcision. If your child was born with a large, hairy mole on their face, would you want them to wait until they were "old enough to decide on their own" to remove it?

The statistic [of men making more] is also skewed by the fact that men do not tend to take time off (in the US at least) to raise children.

I'm sorry, your excuse for why there isn't a "robbery culture" is that "robbery isn't rape?" Are you trying to say there aren't any victims in a robbery? Or are you trying to say it isn't terrible? How about plain old physical assault? Remember Bernie Goetz? Also, I'm not sure you understand what "rape culture" is, since your response indicates that you seem to think it has something to do with the victims of rape, rather than a culture that promotes it.

Eh.. possibly. It's probably more likely that generally positive events don't really bear comment. If your SO divorces you/buys you a Ferrari, those events are exceptional and bear comment. If your SO gives you a hug and asks how your day was, that's not really worth talking about. It's kind of like reality TV. Would anyone watch Big Brother if all the residents in the house got along fine? Of course not.

The short answer is: probably not. People are much more likely to comment on a negative experience than a positive or neutral one.

Yup, some states don't have age-differentials, MI being one of them. "Third-degree criminal sexual conduct is sexual penetration with someone between age 13 and 16." Interestingly, it appears you could charge a 12-year old for having sex with a 15-year old.
/r/MensRights04/02/11 03:38 PM

A 16yo having sex with a 15yo isn't statutory rape under most state's laws (which account for age difference and actual age). That aside, most DA's have better things to do than commit political suicide by trying two teenagers for having sex. Cf. http://www.cga.ct.gov/2003/olrdata/jud/rpt/2003-r-0376.htm EDIT: TIL in Texas, there really isn't "Statutory rape" since the law requires knowledge of age.

Yes: The older person is in a position of power over the younger, regardless of gender, just like doctor/patient issues. In the latter instance, it's wrong only because of the power differential, in the former it's wrong both because of that AND because of the (assumed) inability to be capable of making rational decisions.

Both viewpoints are valid and arguable, for sure. I was raised by a single parent, so I know it's certainly possible for a single breadwinner to account for the entire cost of the family, although on the other hand, I grew up under pretty austere conditions, and my parent didn't have any contribution towards college, or anything of that sort. Ultimately, it's a matter of priorities, and I'd argue the root problem is not whether a parent stays home or not, but rather the family dynamic, and our c…

Economically speaking: the majority of homes need 2 incomes because of women working. Prior to the "women in the workplace" movement, labor demand far outstripped supply. As more women moved into the workplace, the supply began to outpace the demand. Consequently, real wages dropped for both genders. Note: I'm not saying women shouldn't work, I'm simply pointing out why we are a 2-incomes required culture.

Statistically, women are smaller and weaker than men, but it's wrong to ban them from professions requiring size and strength (firefighters, EMS). Statistically, blacks are more likely to commit violent crimes than whites, but it's still wrong to racially profile. Even if 99% of child sex abuse cases were perpetrated by unrelated males against unaccompanied minors on planes, this policy would still be wrong. Why? Because it ignores the single, basic tenet of American justice: Innocent until prov…

I'm saying that having an overtly sexist policy in place to prevent abuse from strangers is pointless. Assuming a determined stranger abuser was going to attack a child on a plane, a seat between them isn't going to help. This kind of policy, and this kind of thinking, focuses on a relatively unlikely scenario ("that man looks like a rapist. I don't want him sitting near my child.") while ignoring the much more common one ("Uncle Bobby would never do something like that little Chrissie. Stop tel…
