Breaking the Glasses: Female Circumcision: The benefits outweigh the risks - You Have to Read it to Get it and Yes It's About Men

It really breaks my heart that my own government outlawed "female" genital mutilation. Why insert the word "female"? Why did they choose to keep male genital mutilation legal?

Half the skin was sliced off my penis when I was an infant: by my parents, by "medical professionals," and by my government.

What community do I have? The first thing my family and government did to me was violent abuse. And now there are racists and sexists everywhere blaming me for the world's problems because of my "white male privilege."

My family stands for nothing. My country stands for nothing. And no one did anything to stop them from mutilating me. I have no community.

The most important part of this is that female circumcision really was shown to reduce aids infection, conducted by people that really didn't want to find out that was true.

That was always their number 1 card to defend male circumcision, despite the fact that the standards of medical care there are abysmal and cause a lot of mutilation and partial/complete removal of the penis. And that we would never suggest circumcision in any other developed country to stop the spread of HIV, and because now the ignorant population believes they are protected and don't need to wear condoms.

Now it turns out female circumcision has the same reduction of risk of infection from HIV. So now what circumcision advocates? What do you have left apart from feels?

Our bad. But you get the gist; the CDC is recommending surgical removal of part of an infant's genitals as a preventative measure against an otherwise preventable sexually transmitted disease.

A disease which male infants can't possibly get. It's as ridiculous as saying which should slice open little girls because one day they might need a cesarean section to give birth.

Stop me if I'm wrong, but the study they're making fun of was in Africa, where:

the uncircumcised men basically fucked like rabbits, as people in sub-Saharan Africa do
the circumcised men were Muslim, who have a strong religious tradition of monogamy

TL:DR correlation is not causation, assholes

Provide some evidence, any evidence, for the claim that uncircumcised men are more promiscuous than circumcised men.
