Circumcision is a crime against humanity, and a senseless evil in 99% of cases.

Adrchg · 2021-08-23T15:36:56+00:00

if they don't even blink an eye if the owner of this certain genitalia is drafted into wars, why they wanna care about the genitalia?

byslexic_ditch567 · 2021-08-23T17:05:36+00:00

One of the best analogy i ever saw was "getting your child circimsised is just lazy, you don't cut your baby's ears off just because you're too lazy to teach them to how to clean behind their ears, so why would you cut off your babys foreskin just because you are too lazy to teach them how to clean their dick"

Competitive_Ad7395 · 2021-08-23T16:49:33+00:00

It's tolerated because it happens to boys and because it is a custom of a certain religion with some very powerful leaders.

If it happened to every girl when they were born...it would be outlawed before lunch.

QZip · 2021-08-24T02:10:17+00:00

My circumcision was botched, so don't get elective surgeries on babies please.

MrElderwood · 2021-08-23T16:34:13+00:00

What most people don't realise (including myself until recently) is that not only is there money to be made by performing the mutilation, there is also money to be made by the beauty industry.

Why is it tolerated? Because someone is making money!

Foreskin Facials. No, I'm not kidding!

BenSherman_LAPD · 2021-08-23T16:38:35+00:00

This is just an american thing. Here in eastern europe I consider it less developed and more conservative religiously and yet peopel are rarely circumsised here

Potatolover3 · 2021-08-23T19:02:30+00:00

Whats even worse is that the media has conditioned people into thinking circumcised penises are the "right" way and uncircumcised are looked down on, not only in porn but some females say they aren't attracted to them as much or at all. Like sorry that my natural body disgusts you but at least I have a dick because there are men out there that got theirs cut or mutilated in a circumsion accident

ZS_1171 · 2021-08-23T15:54:03+00:00

So big pharma can use foreskin in lotions.

UnpopularSOB · 2021-08-23T15:20:23+00:00

Once the plague of religious fascism is reigned in, the entire planet will benefit. Anyone mutilating a child doesn’t deserve to be a parent.

5uckmyflaps · 2021-08-24T13:34:06+00:00

Genuinely believe that sex violence would reduce if circumcision was banned

needletothebar · 2021-08-23T18:39:54+00:00

100% of cases.

KyleButler77 · 2021-08-23T15:14:58+00:00

Because there is certain group of people who possess extraordinary and disproportionate influence in Western societies and to whom this procedure is a vital part of their identity.

raymennn · 2021-08-23T17:31:00+00:00

In before morons join and tell you that it's "hygiene". Oh just shut the fuck up. It has been proven wrong, and I never had any issues, just learn to wash yourself and everything will be alright. Circumcision has nothing to do with how clean you are at all, if you aren't showering daily you are either 1. A child who doesn't care yet, 2. A complete moron 3. You cannot afford it. No exceptions

AJtheW · 2021-08-23T17:34:46+00:00

Being condescending assholes to other men who are being reasonably defensive of their circumcised penises is counter-productive.

Instead of being a dick and telling them they're "really missing out" and sarcastically saying "sorry you were mutilated at birth" you could just explain the issue reasonably. Or just ignore them and let them be.

They didn't get a choice in the matter. Trying to convince them that their body, and life, is less-than because of it isn't helping anything

Edit: Not a response to the post itself, just all the people yelling at circumcised guys in the comments.

benethorpl · 2021-08-23T15:39:22+00:00

Why the fuck does society tolerate the mutilation of male genitalia?

Because the religion of those actually in control of american society demands it. There's no "circumcision by default" policy in Europe, or in Asia, except for one particular nation.

Kyonkanno · 2021-08-23T18:59:28+00:00

Thank god I didn't circumcise my son

harbeas · 2021-08-23T18:04:21+00:00

I am sure I will get down voted for this, but I am glad I was circumcised.

itsmematthewc · 2021-08-24T04:07:16+00:00

What's even worse is that things get even more fucked up if something goes wrong. Hemophilic babies can bleed to death (fun fact: that's how hemophilia was postmortem diagnosed in ye olde ancient times), some rabbis (not blaming all Jews like some of you idiots do in the comments, just the scumbag rabbis who do this) actually suck the blood off the baby's dick (and for some reason this isn't perceived as pedophilic!?), which again can cause the baby to die or end up with a serious infection from herpes, and let's not forget the tragic case of David Reimer, who lost his penis due to a circumcision accident and was forced to live as a girl throughout his childhood and adolescence, as well as being molested by the "doctor" who's brilliant idea was to raise him as a girl, all of which led him to committ suicide.

WhiteWitchBitch · 2021-08-24T06:13:44+00:00

I only learned about the psychological effects of circumcision a year or so ago and immediately discussed it with my fiancé. We officially decided then that we would not circumcise if we were to have a boy in the future.

EvolvingMan1994 · 2021-08-23T17:29:21+00:00

Dear Men only after joining this community and consistently reading posts and comments about Male Circumcision, I became aware of how rampant it is, particularly in the west. I'm so glad that my parents did not alter anything with regard to my genitalia at my birth (perhaps because my father was a doctor although I never asked about this specifically).

And today although I have an infirm genital apparatus, I wouldn't change a thing about it or trade it for anything bigger or better, so to speak. My masculinity comes from my testes and my brain and I still got both of them.

Yung4Yrs · 2021-08-23T18:28:30+00:00

From a scientific point of view, the surgery substantially changes the sexual function of the penis. FGM does the same type of thing, only to a far greater extent. If an adult woman wishes to put a ring through her clitoris, she's an adult. We wouldn't have the government step in unless the woman was deemed mentally incapable of making adult decisions. BUT, it is a fundamental accepted responsibility of the state to protect the interests of a minor child from harm or life altering acts to be performed on a child. This is precisely why cutting a girl's clitoris off when she's too young to understand the ramifications is a violation of her most basic human rights. With an infant boy, if a parent wants to remove a mole or a skin tag, we're not changing anything basic to the boy's bodily function. If he gets in a car accident and his spleen is ruptured, we remove it surgically because it's scientifically and medically indicated to preserve life and health. Cutting off a boy's penis foreskin has nothing to do w/any of these issues. It is entirely an elective procedure, he'll be healthy if left alone. It does very substantially change the look and much more importantly the function of a crucially important part of his body. It takes functional structure (10-20 thousand eros nerve endings, smooth muscle, gliding mechanism, etc.) and permanently removes these functions from the individual for life. Under any other circumstance, the state would be obligated to protect a minor child from this kind of disfigurement from any and all who would wish to do this bodily harm. Progress is being made. But the most obvious example of why this is so wrong is that as an adult, I want mine back. And it's not possible. It was taken against my permission.

webstruments · 2021-08-23T22:20:23+00:00

Because you're surrounded by pieces of shit.... this country has produced POS for 40 years, wake up and smell the PIECES OF SHIT all around us. Left, Right, Libertarian... 99% of the people here are POS. It was engineered this way...

Remove unions, keep wages down, make everyone think they're just a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire", no education, no culture or class, just "money, money, money, money!"....

And this is the result. An emasculated, "good boy" culture of corporate slaves. With the women chopping parts of dicks off and thinking that they're the poor ones punished by the patriarchy...

The whole country is retarded, and now has made saying the word retarded not allowed anymore. That's America. Become retarded, and then double down on being retarded.

How'd I do?

Crunchie2020 · 2021-08-23T19:48:47+00:00

As a woman

When hear or read people asking their husbands and say it’s cosmetic reasons looks better … I don’t understand them! I prefer the look of a natural penis. Why would you do that! It looks better to me happy healthy better uncircumcised.

Imagine we cut little girls for cosmetic reasons or asked your wife?

Medical reasons I understand but there are different options. Instead of full circumcision they can do little cuts like slits so they don’t lose the fore skin.

It’s a really important part of the body too it has important functions!

It’s insane how many guys I know who had so many issues growing up because they were cut. My partner for one! Some were medical and some the mothers didn’t even consent it was a doctors decision back in 70s and 80s. What the hell.

I’m sorry to all men that this genital mutilation is ignored actually worse it’s wanted in societies. It really is disgusting

Edit to add: I love circumcised too!! It’s looks great! It’s the practice of unnecessary procedures and the social culture around it!

LaPurplePamplemousse · 2021-08-23T22:35:20+00:00

A lot of North American is cultural sadly. My father was a prime example of this. He insisted that all of his sons were circumcised. Why? Because he was. That was the only reason, and it's deeply ingrained to an unbelievable degree. What if they see me in the shower? How would I possibly explain why my pee-pee is different from their pee-pee? Nope! Get them done! There was no arguing with him about it. It was a moot point with him. He simply didn't care, and there would be no further discussion about it. So, all of his sons were circumcised at birth. Don't get me started about his narcissistic manipulation, constant guilt tripping over future grandson's circumcision. The man was a living nightmare over these things, just didn't let up for a single second unless you just made him stop.

H3racules · 2021-08-23T18:14:54+00:00

Also, sex is a lot less great without foreskin according to people who get cut for medical reasons. It's not that woman have better orgasms guys, it's becuase you're missing part of your dick.

ImJustHereForCorn · 2021-08-23T18:06:38+00:00

I went through it as a baby, I don't really see how it makes much of a difference...

caseyt12 · 2021-08-23T21:21:59+00:00

Didn't know there was so much hatred for Circumcision. Weird. I'm glad I was circumcised, personally.

KuntStink · 2021-08-23T19:56:37+00:00

I was circumcised, most of my friends and family are. I think it looks good, it's clean, and I have absolutely 0 issues with it, and neither do my friends.

Calm the fuck down, it's not a crime against humanity, evil or whatever else. If you don't like it, then don't do it for your children, simple.

SpicyPickles420 · 2021-08-23T19:28:45+00:00

Ok so I'm a guy who was circumcised, does it have any other effect besides just looking different? Like I'm genuinely wondering if I had foreskin would the only difference being I have to wash it very thoroughly

Fearless-Thanks-907 · 2021-08-23T19:37:57+00:00

I’m circumcised and I like my dick this way.

Queef2Queef · 2021-08-23T20:59:24+00:00

I'm happy I was circumcised ( my opinion, doesn't have to be yours ) the few guys i know that weren't circumsized were constantly made fun of and I knew girls that complained of the smell and appearance.

kohwin · 2021-08-23T23:14:47+00:00

As soon as I read that the title was about circumcision I knew that the comments will devolve into my dick is better than your dick

But to answer the OP it’s mostly because of a certain religion (for the most part?) that the practice is still relevant today- I do think people should get choice rather than just straight up do it to nonconsenting newborns- I like to get a choice on what to do with my junk

Skaarson · 2021-08-23T19:48:17+00:00

IMO, As someone with male genitalia, this is such a non-issue that I feel like you're feining offence, just because. Unless it would've helped me deactivate lasers with my dick, I couldn't care less that I've been circumcised and calling it a crime against humanity is sensationalist at best.

Yoblit · 2021-08-23T20:29:31+00:00

Who gives a shit. You decide for your own children's penises... Also the reason it started a long time was for health reasons in the guise of religious practice so people would do it. The same reason kosher and halal exists.

kitteneos · 2021-08-23T22:04:44+00:00

Pediatricians in the US are being cowardly. They say they don’t recommend the procedure as being routine. However, since there is a slight benefit in the reduction of UTIs, they leave it to the parents to decide.

The UTIs are already rare.

Alfster620 · 2021-08-23T21:11:35+00:00

I do think that babies shouldn’t be circumcised, but I think crime against humanity is a bit extreme. I’m pretty sure they don’t cut off your foreskin with a blunt axe I’m sure they use anesthesia. Also being circumcised to my knowledge doesn’t bring any health problems, it just might hurt in your underwear and it’s harder to jerk off.

thubtop · 2021-08-23T19:23:46+00:00

It is not a "crime against humanity", because it does not affect all of humanity.

It is one of the various dark cultural habits of some cultures, and as such one can only wish that it is abolished by the respective cultures. Just like FGM, or tattoos, piercings, and all the other ugly and silly body modifications that there are (lip flocks, sharpening of teeth, cutting up the penis underside, etc.). Many cultures comprise behaviors found otherwise only in certain mental illnesses, including sacrifices and whatnot. People in groups tend to be mentally ill ...

P.S. It is not "always wrong", there are medical indications. I am circumcised as I had a phimosis as a child and I think I had an infection. Not sure whether it was necessary, however, for me, circumcision was nothing cultural, it was simply done after a medical diagnosis which was probably correct.

bigdaddypimpilicious · 2021-08-23T17:06:04+00:00

It's like the lip filler of the penis world.

BuggerItThatWillDo · 2021-08-23T20:50:02+00:00

Yeah, if you were speaking in hyperbole I'd agree and find you quietly amusing but you're being serious! Dude it's not a crime against humanity. It's far from as bad as the female equivalent.

Almighty_Bidoof424 · 2021-08-23T15:24:32+00:00

How did this even become a thing? Im over 30 years old and can guarantee you not once in my life has the thought "damn i wish i had my foreskin back" entered my mind.

HansieVanStaak · 2021-08-23T19:08:52+00:00

Discussion aside is anyone else annoyed at how often this get bought up? I think we can all agree that it’s unimaginably bad, but we don’t need to see it every day. Can we just move onto more meaningful things than posting the same argument

NoctotainRose · 2021-08-23T20:22:02+00:00

Lmao yeah okay buddy crime against humanity. Lets slap circumcision right up there with Genocide. This is why yall be a joke

OuttaSightOutyaMind · 2021-08-23T16:16:07+00:00

Don’t know about crime against humanity, it is a sort of harm but I don’t think doctors pick up male babies with joy about to trim their dick. It is a cultural and hygienic thing I figure more than anything and yes that is bad but I don’t think the focus of male child care should be circumcision …. There are plenty more things to focus on …

ColonelVirus · 2021-08-23T17:25:57+00:00

I wouldn't class it as "Crime against humanity". It only affects 50% of the population, unless we're going to throw in female mutilation as well?

varnavruz · 2021-08-23T21:40:37+00:00

There are societies out there, probably with bigger population than USA and Israel, where it's considered perfectly normal to mutilate female genitals.

MegSaikai · 2021-08-23T22:52:37+00:00

they just don't care.. but you see them with their torches and pitchforks when female genital mutilation is involved.

Long-Accountant-2136 · 2021-08-24T04:00:37+00:00

KingOfTheTrill14 · 2021-08-24T00:30:17+00:00

Really don't see what the big deal is. I was circumcised, never thought twice about it. Honestly, pretty glad it was done. Looks a lot nicer. But to each their own

DrBallsinAss · 2021-08-23T19:20:55+00:00

I disagree on this one cuz i am cut but i guess it is what it is.
