Personally, I think parents should be held responsible for feeding their children unhealthy food that results in childhood obesity. I thought the argument of the we don't hold parents accountable for other things was a poor argument in favor of circumcision.

Edit: Wording

Ask her if she supports a woman's right to choose. (abortion)

If yes, Her body her choice, His body his choice.

"You're cutting an infant's dick, with no medical necessity."

I mean, I don't see how people get around this. This is usually the entire argument I have against infant circumcision.

"You're cutting an infant's dick, with no medical necessity."

Then when they make some convoluted argument full of psuedoscience, you just go...

"Yeah that's nice, but you know...they're cutting an infant's dick, with no medical necessity."

Should they try to rebut, cut them off. Fuck politeness, they're advocating cutting infants' foreskins off, so cut them off.

"Can I cut your dick?" Use pussy if they're a woman, expect more anger because cutting a women's vagina isn't as acceptable, obviously. They'll say no.

"So you can put an infant through something you wouldn't willingly undergo right now?"

They'll try to rebut. Cut them off again.

"I mean, would it have been okay for me to cut your dick when you were a kid? Because you obviously don't want it now."

By then everyone but that person will be convinced. And fuck that person.

Here's my (simple) take:

"There are complications with everything though"

So you think female circumcision should be legal, then?

This, of course, after debunking the hygiene myth using sources easily found here.

Some women do preemptively have their breasts removed if they are high-risk to develop breast cancer. Of course, these are adult women, not infants.

As with all mammals, the penis is intended to be an internal organ.

I know what each of those words mean individually, but NO, NO, NO. There is so much wrong with this sentence.

Preventing infection, eh? Well let's excise everyone's appendix when they're born.

What? It's unnecessary and that causes more problems itself? So does circumcision.

Also, body autonomy.

The hygiene argument just pisses me off. God fucking forbid a boy spend an extra ten seconds cleaning his foreskin. I spend time thoroughly cleaning every nook and cranny in my vagina when I bathe, should my parents have cut off my labia to save me thirty seconds in the shower?

She's stupid.

That just about sums it up.

Just have them watch the procedure for themselves. NSFW

The easiest reply, in my opinion, is to respond with a statement to clarify that this person is also in support of forced genital mutilation in women, as all of their arguments for circumcision can equally be applied to women. If they are in support of it, then at least they are being logically consistant, and if not, then there's a huge logic gap which I would hope even they can see.

Sorry, but as someone who wasn't circumcised until they were around 5 years old, I really don't understand all the crying about circumcision. I honestly think it's just an easy way to misdirect anger from other areas of your life. Instead of admitting that you hate XYZ about your life, just claim that you have issues because you were circumcised as a baby.
