The coddling of the American mind

This is very much the case with circumcision.

No one is even willing to try to discuss the fact that we mutilate and destroy the sexuality of some 2/3 of American male children. No one cares. No one is even willing to consider the fact that taking a knife and gashing at a small infant's genitals might actually have an affect on sexuality, even though we spend hours, days, weeks, months, years, talking about how we're oppressing female sexuality. Our president just gave a speech about how horrible genital mutilation is in Africa. Meanwhile, in America, more boy's lost their sexuality, and they might never quite know something is wrong (except when they masturbate the first time and just feel something is "off").

No one cares that our sexuality was destroyed before we were two weeks old. That would require discussion, and we can't handle that. This society does not deserve the male output and work that makes society run, because it doesn't respect the very bodies that do that work. We will NEVER have the pleasure our bodies were designed to have; I implore you, do not give back to this society. This society is corrupted to the core. The craziest part is that even old religious teachings knew that the foreskin was the most important part of the penis for pleasure, that's why it was removed.

How do you come to terms with the fact that your body was purposely broken to make money and humiliate you?

"Vindictive protectiveness"

This one is a keeper, with myriad applications in the discussion of gender, right a long with "carceral feminism".

I'm only coming across this article today, and I'm surprised your post has not been further discussed, what a great article. Looking on other subs it seems not well discussed which either points to an intellectual mental block or just short attention spans. This article is very important in the context of the Mens Rights sub as it shows the tipping point of a lot of what has been deemed offensive is just pathological thinking leading towards easy targets for discrimination.
