How to convincingly defend circumcision when writing blogs or articles - a guide.

The manner in which people defend circumcision (usually the circumcised) reminds me of kids of abusive parents (including spanking, you barbarians) defending their parents use of violence as a teaching tool. Same kind of weak excuses, personal anecdotes, tradition.... blah blah blah.

It is all thoroughly unconvincing and comes across as people trying to avoid the conclusion that they were mistreated as kids.

If circumcision had never been performed and sometime in the year 2012 someone said "Hey, why don't we cut off part of a male baby's penis?" only deranged fringe lunatics would fall for it.

Why on earth would anyone want to defend this heinous act?

A cop, trying to humor his wounded partner, says:

"Hey Andy - Two boys were sharing a hospital room. So, one boy asked the other why he's there for. So the boy says, 'A circumcision.' And the other boy says, 'Oh man, I had that done right after I was born and I couldn't walk for a year.'"

Andy: "That's the worst fucking joke I ever heard, John."

John: "I know, I know."

These poor boys! SO happy I decided against it... I hope more people see this info, rather than the crap you usually see/hear.

It's easier to just show pictures. Even stupid people can understand pictures.

What exactly does this have to do with mens rights? Isn't this still legal? If anything this should be posted in childrens rights or parents rights (if such subreddits even exist).
Why does justifying surgery on your healthy son belong in mens rights? That's what I'd like to know.

EDIT: I missed the part about this being satire - I thought it was real advice and not satire as DavidNatan just pointed out.

"just write off the top of your head" - I don't think it was intentional, but... LOL!
