I'm a stg4 throat cancer patient. It was caused by HPV exposure and that came from oral sex while a teen (I'm mid 40's now). The cancer devastated me. I weight half what I did, lost all my teeth, most of my taste, and my face and neck have a partial disfigurement.

Even with what the fight cost me I think the idea of surgically altering people to prevent 'possible' disease down the road is at best a slippery slope and at worst comparable to some of the worst we have done in the name of society. Please vaccinate with Gardisil but don't ever consider surgical means. That's just barbaric.

Damn, man. You practically spelled it out by prefacing it with "I have a modest proposal:".

Education isn't what it used to be.

(And now I feel old. And conservative as fuck.)

I'm betting that everyone involved missed the joke.

"A modest proposal" That's the instant keyword for satire. How do people not see that? Personally I'm a fan of the modest proposal for the irish to sell/eat babies to help solve the famine.

Er, how about we just vaccinate everyone against HPV.

I have to say walkonthebeach that was a superb post illustrating the ridiculousness of people who advocate for male circumcision. You really nailed this one, in your hypothetical argument for female circumcision. As usual, the feminazi will stop at nothing to censor anything that threatens their narrative. Well done.

michael douglas? didn't he blame his wife? there is real science behind this but the feminists have blocked it.

So by that logic, circumcision is barbaric as well. Circumcision is basically mandated for males in Abrahamic religions. If God Himself mandates that guys get their dicks cut, why do women(and apparently some small-minded males) think its so atrocious to even CONSIDER doing the same to women.

When done in proper, sanitary conditions, male circumcision has exceptionally low complication rates.. (TL;DR: ~ 0.2%) If the female clitoral hood is analogous to the male foreskin, I think it would be safe to assume that the rate of complications in female circumcision would be similar, if not exactly the same as the rate of complication in male circumcision.

If society deems the pain experienced by the male receiving circumcision to be an acceptable cost to receive the benefits of increasing the sexual safety for all of society, why is a woman's pain not an acceptable cost? After all don't feminists say that men and women are equal in every way? Therefore a woman's pain should have the exact same intrinsic value as a man's.

The fact that there cannot even be a purely academic conversation about this topic so eloquently shows the inherent hypocrisy of feminism. The true feminist mantra is: "We're equal to men in every way. But we're also all special little snowflakes. So treat us the same as men, but better."

Side note: Gardisil only protects you from like, 4 of who knows how many strains of HPV
