Oprah protested for endorsing face cream made from foreskins

Callender says it’s hypocritical of Winfrey to speak out against female genital mutilation, while saying it’s all right to use a face cream made from foreskins from circumcised infant males.

Well, feminists haven't exactly been one for consistency. Especially in regards to treating men with the "equality" they treat women.

Can somebody inform me about this foreskin face cream?

It's only hypocritical if you assume boys and girls are both human beings deserving of basic rights.

If you assume one is and the other is an animal then it's ok.

So boys should take a knife to the junk because someone else was stupid enough to get burned. That makes no sense whatsoever.

A major campaign around this should be started, it has all the components of success. Conspiracies theories are tumbling out of my mind by the second.

Winfrey has described the product as her “magic fountain of youth and miracle wrinkle solution."

Oprah likes to cut baby boys dicks off and rub that shit on her face.

"... through much evil hand-wringing and demonic laughter, with ritualistic zeal, they celebrate the destruction of boys and men by spreading the remains of genitally-mutilated boys on their faces like ancient tribal war paint ..."

Starting to wish I lived in Canada.

I commented other places here but I'm copying it here because I think its important for every to know what is actually going on so they don't get so worked up over something that doesn't deserve it.

A while ago some scientist took one piece of donated foreskin and put it in a flask and cultured the fibroblast cells that it produced. This was done to help advance science. From this one piece of foreskin thousands of vials of cells were frozen and are sold (to anyone) through the ATCC. The frozen cells are received and cultured to make billions of more cells which the company can study to make a formula for a skin cream. This is assuming that the company did this research and didn't just create a cream from growth factors found by a scientist at a university who was working on cancer.

So this company most likely does not directly buy any foreskins. The use of the growth factors isn't putting any demand on the availability of foreskins so doctors aren't going to be pressured to increase foreskin supply just to make a cream.

Unfortunately however the marketing of the cream in this way may lead people to be more accepting MGM.

TLDR; Go spend your time and anger on groups that are actually promoting MGM.

... why the FUCK would anyone want a face cream made with foreskins in the first place? My god.

Not condoning circumcision, but they also use the foreskin stem cells for skin grafts

I don't care whether it is a foreskin or not. Using any product on or in me, that is made from humans, is fucking disgusting.

AYFKM? There's a market for this?

Do people purchasing it actually know what's in it, or is it hidden under some other label?

These must be the same people who use creams that have placenta in them. shudder

Geez, I'm for circumcision, but this is just creepy and disgusting. Why would anyone ever make anything out of human body parts?

MaK_Ultra · 2013-01-24T21:48:53+00:00

All of you are stupid. Your body can't absorb tissue from another animal by putting it on your face without grafting it.

The only thing dumber than oprah's audience is this subreddit.

PeterPorky · 2013-01-24T11:44:02+00:00

I don't think it's such a big deal...

It's not like people are being farmed for foreskins, they're simply using foreskins that would've been thrown away.

Circumcision won't increase just because facial cream is being made out of foreskins.
