Body+Soul: Attempting To Shame Foreskin-Restoration By Linking It To "The Manosphere"

The fact this is an issue for feminists kind of goes to show how few actual systemic issues women face in modern society.

Women should shut the fuck up on male issues

Also, there should be no surprise that a men's health topic or any topic or activity that might predominantly benefit men will be automatically tied to the "manosphere."

My commentary on this is incoming...

EDIT: This is a disgusting piece of work by two female journalists who are shaming men attempting to heal from irreversible nonconsensual genital mutilation.

Apparently, opposition to the butchery of baby boy's genitals, and attempting to restore this, is a sexist plot from the "manosphere."

"men are bonding over their fascination with foreskins"

Ahhh yes, the Code Pink shaming tactic. Trying to make it "sound gay." The irony is that a lot of pro-circumcision men were members of a circumcision-fetish group called the Gilgal Society, but that isn't mentioned...

"This fascination with foreskins is only the latest of a string of genitalia-centric content to come out of the manosphere. From penismaxxing to ballsmaxxing, impressionable young men are increasingly being served content that equates masculine identity to the appearance and function of genitalia."

Yes, this has nothing at all to do with the fact most women prefer an above-average penis, whatsoever...

"the ideology driving Restorers hinges on an argument of bodily autonomy – something women have been campaigning (to deaf ears) for for centuries."

Firstly, this means women should be supporting restorers. Secondly, you silly wenches are writing for an Australian publication, and you ladies have abortion rights in every Australian state and territory as well as a ban on FGM. You have more bodily autonomy in this country than men. Stop importing the theatrical victimhood of neurotic leftist American women! It doesn't apply to you! And you also have MORE ABORTION RIGHTS than French or German women by the way, but you never get apoplectic over abortion in THOSE countries!

"Historically and currently, babies are circumcised for several medical, cultural and religious reasons. In Judaism and Islam, as well as some indigenous communities around the world, circumcision of males shortly after birth is a core religious rite of passage."

...but I bet this respectful deference to religion and culture doesn't apply when girls in Islamic societies get the full Pharaonic FGM, right? Only male religion genital mutilation is worthy of respect!

Some medical reasons people elect to have their infant circumcised, or undergo the procedure as an adult, are a significantly reduced risk of urinary tract infections and certain sexually transmitted infections, and easier hygiene management.

The data on that is all completely dodgy and the fact you haven't cited medical experts yet... at the article's half-way point... is disgusting.

The medical necessity of the practice has also been called into question in recent decades, with organisations such as the Royal Australasian College of Physicians not recommending it as a routine preventative measure for all babies.

Oh, so NOW AND FINALLY we get a medical opinion almost two thirds of the way through the article, after you've shamed the restorers and equated them to Andrew Tate...

For some Restorers... it’s driven by a sense of injustice and an opinion that their bodily anatomy has been infringed upon since infancy.

"Opinion"? More like OBVIOUS FACT.

Given that the majority of circumcisions are performed shortly after birth, long before a baby has the cognition or ability to effectively consent to the procedure, Restorers hold particular resentment towards their parents or guardians.

Ahhhh, so THAT'S the problem. Not that these men have been subjected to nonconsensual sexual mutiliation as an infant but that they're angry about it, that they blame mommy (or daddy). Why shouldn't they blame the people who made the call to CUT OFF THEIR FORESKINS?

This article is disgustingly gynocentric. I bet the writers, if/when they have/had baby boys, had those boys mutilated too...

Message to Sarah Mitchell and Mia Barker:

I can only conclude that your recent article titled "Who are the 'restorers'? The group trying to get their foreskins back after circumcision" was either, in the best case, intended to be a titillating piece that would garner a few extra clicks; or, perhaps more likely, a malevolent attempt to disparage and trivialize an important issue. Does it offend your feminist thinking that much if the public is made aware that there are, in fact, inequities faced by men that have gone unaddressed?

Railing against Male Genital Mutilation (made to sound innocent by calling it circumcision) is not an example of misogyny; it is not anti-feminist nor is it anti-women. It does not infringe on women's rights in any way; it is solely a men's rights issue. Since your gender is already protected from this barbaric practice, your input was not sought, is not needed, is not wanted and your opinion is totally irrelevant.

Ugh. What is wrong with some women? 😲

Current_Finding_4066 · 2026-06-09T10:39:13+00:00

Of course it is two women who have the temerity to pretend circumcision of boys is not as vile and totally unacceptable as circumcision of girls. And that men have every right to be distraught by being denied unmutilated genitals to fully enjoy their sexuality as circumcised women do.

No one asked for their sexist opinion of matters that pertain to the men's view of being involuntary mutilated during childhood.

Thank you for sharing, OP.

The level of hatred, ie pure misandry, “modern” women are able to publicly express is simple astounding. Women like Sarah Mitchell and Mia Barker should be ashamed of themselves, instead our entire culture praises them with every word they publish.

Just imagine a similar hit piece written by 2 young men, openly gaslighting female victims of FGM who would dare seeking justice and healing… of course it would be career suicide, rightfully so.

We are witnessing the last gasp of radical feminism, and it’s become truly ugly.

Connecting foreskin restoration to manosphere stuff is such a lazy reach by that publication.

Chalves24 · 2026-06-11T00:02:14+00:00

Interesting. I wonder if they like to talk about female victims of circumcision who do “clitmaxxing?”

Sininenn · 2026-06-09T14:32:21+00:00

"Foreskin restoration" is a misleading, dishonest misnomer.

Late-Suggestion901 · 2026-06-10T13:16:35+00:00

Como restaurador victima de mutilacion genital y la consecuente crueldad de la sociedad esto me hierve la sangre

"Igualdad"

Normies are [redacted] and evil.
