We Already Cut One Gender To Protect Another

There is historical precedent for cutting the genitals of one gender to protect another from STD transmissions, and specifically HPV transmission. In 1954, researcher Ernest Wynder suggested that smegma found in men’s foreskins was causing cervical cancer in their partners. (It was later discovered his research subjects were not sexually educated enough to know if they or their partners were circumcised.) Though there is a link between cervical cancer and HPV, the link between circumcision and cervical cancer was later disproved, but not before becoming such a strong cultural meme that many doctors still use this myth to justify cutting men’s genitals.

Smegma was thought to be behind STD transmission in intact men. Smegma is of course a naturally occurring lubricant secreted by the genitals of both men and women, thought to have bacteria killing functions. The word smegma comes from the Greek word for soap. When a woman gets wet, her body is producing smegma. Women naturally produce more smegma than men, and any man who performs oral sex on a woman probably swallows some of her smegma. If smegma spreads STDs —and in particular HPV—and women have more smegma than men, then it is imperative we begin circumcising women as quickly as possible to protect men from this public health threat.

It Would Bring Greater Gender Equality

The United States is spending millions of dollars in grant money to circumcise Africians to prevent HIV, based on research that has been called both ethically and scientifically questionable. Shouldn’t women get some of that grant money too? Men get 100% of the genital cutting in America, and women get none. It’s time to change that. Female circumcision shouldn’t just be legal, it should be federally subsidized like birth control. Women should be in the streets protesting religious groups that refuse to pay for their employees female circumcision. It is our duty to support women in whatever they need to express their sexuality, including removing parts of their sex to make the sex they have safe sex.

Activists against male genital cutting say that condoms already prevent HIV transmission better than any surgery. While that may be true of the penis, who uses a dental dam when going down on a woman? Anyone? As comedian Patrice O’Neal humorously notes most women shame men who try to use protection when going down on a woman. Men are so thirsty, they will literally drink cancer before risk offending their female partners.

It’s time to make sex safe again. It’s time for equality. It’s time for female circumcision.

Many of the arguments used in the article are the same as the ones used to justify male ciscumcision so it depends, do you think there is any way male infant circumcision can be justified?

The article is satire, but brings to light an existing and ongoing travesty in our society - male circumcision. May I direct you to /r/Intactivists? If male circumcision is acceptable, mainly still propagated for beauty care industry profits, then why should the idea of female circumcision be so unacceptable?

ROK has released a lot of bullshit click-bait articles like this. It's gotten so ridiculous that I got RES to filter out all submissions to this sub that link to their website. I remember recently there was an article published by one of their moderators, a high schooler, where he was calling everybody who doesn't think exactly like him a faggot.

ROK is the male equivalent of jezebel/gawker. They post click bait, absolute crap and complain about the other sex in order to get more readers.

OP doesnt understand satire. The article is pointing out the hypocrisy of male circumcision (which admittedly isnt even a big deal anymore)

It's such a crock of shit, and the commenters aren't alpha, most of the time they're just crazy.

This is satire of the kind of shit that winds up on SLATE or Jezebel promoting male genital mutilation.
