Can we stop calling it "circumcision" and instead call it male genital mutilation?

This. People lose their shit if you call it female circumcision instead of FGM. They’re both horrible acts against humanity. What really sucks to is a big argument for cutting boys is because “it looks better”. Like what the fuck? Imagine if you said that as a reason for FGM. It’s not even that different uncut and who are you to take that boys choice away. His body his choice

This is what really pisses me off. When addressing female genital mutilation, the term itself carries a connotation of severity and alarm. In contrast, male circumcision is often downplayed as a minor procedure. This disparity in language and attitude highlights a troubling double standard in how society addresses these issues.

call it male genital mutilation

100% how it should be called. Foreskin is not pointless, nature herself designed us to have one. No amount of blabbering about how doing this is for some health or looks benefits will convince me otherwise.

Can we stop calling it “having sex” when a female teacher rapes a young male.

Control the language and you control the people.

TrafalgarLaw2023 · 2023-12-03T17:18:10+00:00

My stupid female friend and told me "You should thank your parents that they did it to you as an infant. It looks better anyways." The double standards are absurd.

xAceRPG · 2023-12-03T13:58:02+00:00

Yes. You cannot be in men’s rights subreddit and support one of the worst crimes against boys and men.

disayle32 · 2023-12-03T15:54:55+00:00

But but but muh religions! Muh traditions! Muh hygiene! Muh STD/UTI prevention! Muh women's preferences! Muh "it just looks better"! Muh "it was done to me and I want my son to look like me"! Muh "it's just a piece of skin"! Muh "it doesn't have any adverse effects"! Muh "it's okay because he won't remember it"! Muh "FGM is ACKSHUALLY worse and that means circumcision is ACKSHUALLY okay, because...uh...because REASONS! CHECKM8 INCELS!"

Askmannen69 · 2023-12-03T14:01:01+00:00

Circumcision of babies should also considered a form of rape imo

royal-horror · 2023-12-03T18:30:04+00:00

Its disgusting, mainly for religious reason is stupid af, but what i hate the most is fking americans brainwashed to think its the only way it can be clean and other ways are disgusting, like wtf are you talking about, all your body can be disgusting if you dont clean, just fking shower...

cruisinforasnoozinn · 2023-12-03T18:53:53+00:00

Its disgusting. Beyond an actual health issue involving your foreskin, there's no reason to mutilate babies genitals or "fix them".

There should be protests for this.

habbo311 · 2023-12-03T19:08:20+00:00

Agreed. If it was being done to women there would be a international outcry and armies of lawyers and free psychotherapy for life

CactusSub · 2023-12-05T01:08:34+00:00

Evolution gave men foreskin for a reason, so we shouldn’t get rid of it.

puppykiwi · 2023-12-05T18:46:45+00:00

You couldn't be any further from the truth. Circumcision does not reduce penile sensation, according to this meta review, which sourced 94 publications on the topic. It does, however, have many biological and health benefits.

This study for example, found that neo-natal circumcision provides other potential benefits during childhood such as prevention of infant urinary tract infections, meatitis, balanitis, and phimosis while another study found that this procedure not only reduced HIV contraction rates among males but that it also indirectly lowered exposure risk for women.

RevolutionaryJob7908 · 2023-12-05T23:24:16+00:00

I agree, and it's upsetting. We lose a ton of the feeling from sex before we are born. Revenge required.

IAmTheAnarchist · 2023-12-03T23:38:28+00:00

This is like the lowest of the low hanging fruit.

Shreddersaurusrex · 2023-12-03T18:19:06+00:00

Agreed

sadgirl-B · 2023-12-04T19:57:25+00:00

Who cares if it causes everyone you sleep with to get an infection. Who cares if it stinks and is unlean. Who cares about your religion. Let's all stop doing this thing because a certain group of men say that it's rape or something. Most of the time, ITS A MEDICAL PROCEDURE. Are there cases where it HAS to be done what about them? I don't agree with a priest that probably has chlamydia biting it off and giving said std to the baby. I would say that is mutilation. But that's between them and their God. The only cases I've ever heard where it was numb and desensitized was when the Dr cut wrong. Should every other man have their medical option took away? Your body your choice but only if you're me?

I also can say that everything on this planet is a lie. Literally everything. We have no idea who we are. Any of us. So ofc they could just be harvesting baby bits for Sandra bullocks beauty cream.

Everything is this way today. If someone doesn't get their way we gotta hold a rally to say how the men are getting raped by a medical procedure. Call it by name! Genital mutilation? Ikyfl I've seen genital mutilation videos from victims. I'm sure they would be mad af at this post. Maybe hold a little rally and tell everyone you're raping them? See how crazy that sounds? Jfc

OCSupertonesStrike · 2023-12-03T16:39:04+00:00

Mine was done for religion (Christian). Because Jesus was circumcised.

Why don't we just drop all semantics and get to the root of the evil?

It would spread more awareness in the right direction if we called it collectively the "Brit Milah"

billboflaggins · 2023-12-03T23:06:54+00:00

I wish.

KamronXIII · 2023-12-03T19:56:38+00:00

I heard somewhere that circumcision helps stop some forms of cancer and reduce buildup around the glands, I think it should be left up in the air until around age 18 when the male in question should be able to make delicious fir themselves

jarmbur · 2023-12-04T01:04:13+00:00

But if we stop doing it where will we get the stem cells we need to make the age defying wrinkle cream?!

Doktor_Vem · 2023-12-04T08:57:38+00:00

What's even the point of it? Like is it just because some complete lunatic wrote it in a book about 2000 years ago or is there something else?

UniversityNo633 · 2023-12-03T22:13:57+00:00

I suffered from Phimosis and had to get circumsized in grade 8. My brother also was circumsized for the same reason in adulthood.

I don't believe there are any medical reasons for female circumcisions.

InvestigatorOne2932 · 2023-12-04T08:07:47+00:00

I agree even though I got circumcision at 15 and by my own will, I still think that it's a bad thing to do since it doesn't do anything other that 'it look good'

KatsutamiNanamoto · 2023-12-05T11:31:52+00:00

It's by far the biggest mens rights issue because it's STILL HAPPENING!

It is a valid issue, but not the biggest at all. Men dying in wars and being forcefully conscripted, dying due to bad work conditions, lower life expectancy - those are obviously much more important issues. Don't belittle them.

karn39393939 · 2023-12-03T15:51:45+00:00

Honestly I've never thought about it as something to be classified as mutilation. I know that when my son was an infant, the doctors told us that he had extra skin that would have made it painful for him every time he got an erection. By doing a circumcision it would allow for the erection to happen without an issue. I think in part because it is considered commonplace and so many people have had it done, that many don't know how to clean properly. This brings up a discussion that I had with a friend years ago that was not circumcised. He was describing the extra steps necessary to clean properly. I think so many people consider it commonplace that it doesn't come across as something is mutilation. It does make me wonder though. So thank you for bringing it up.

ChromeWeasel · 2023-12-03T17:00:16+00:00

This is one of the least important topics for men's rights. Oppose it if you want but suggesting its like rape makes everyone look foolish.

MattR9590 · 2023-12-04T00:34:35+00:00

I love my cut dick and I’m glad my parents did it actually

xiteg79 · 2023-12-03T23:50:03+00:00

I am circumcised and I have plenty of sensation. It's also easier to keep clean.

ED is what men should worry about more.

hellodarknessu · 2023-12-03T18:40:54+00:00

My dad had to circumcise at 30 for health reasons I was lucky to already have been circumcised as a baby to not have to endure health problems later on. It's more hygienic, doesn't collect bacteria and is much less prone to so many possible issues, I have no idea what you people are on about, that piece of skin is literally useless. The part about sensitivity difference is interesting...

Dangerous_Guitar7999 · 2023-12-04T00:57:28+00:00

I don’t see what the big deal is. I’ve been circumcised and I have no issues having an orgasm or sensations, I enjoy sex A LOT… so what’s the point of all this outrage? You can still do the same thing

vorare3561 · 2023-12-03T19:03:24+00:00

Probably off topic, but have you guys ever seen an uncircumcised penis?

It’s pretty disgusting. lol

nyjrku · 2023-12-03T19:18:06+00:00

Leave Jews alone, and you can do whatever you will. But the blatantly anti Jew ramifications of this line of thinking should be considered. Peoples should be relatively free to be as they are.

Tiny_Ear_61 · 2023-12-03T20:29:37+00:00

Why are so many of us hyper-focused on this issue? Let's start with the basics: equality in criminal charging, plea bargaining, and sentencing; divorce reform; financial reparations for paternity fraud. If all you want to do is whine about dicks, you play right into the feminist narrative.

Roddy0608 · 2023-12-03T13:30:00+00:00

I think we should call it both. "Circumcision" is just one type of male genital mutilation.

RedBubble2 · 2023-12-04T01:43:18+00:00

Intact boys don't bother their Dads about it. I don't mind if it is the one topic I don't discuss with him.

Sendmeloveletters · 2023-12-04T03:09:36+00:00

Yeah sure let’s go

grandma_jizzzzzzzard · 2023-12-04T22:12:15+00:00

That’s exactly what it is.

buttslapper999 · 2023-12-05T14:00:12+00:00

In most sects of Islam and Judaism, male genital mutilation is obligation. I am perplexed by amount of people who thinks MGM is a cultural rather than religious issues, but when you look at the fundamental scriptures it is clear that MGM is compulsory, disgusting 🤮. And some people even call you racist by stating that fact, but religions and race are very different things, you can be a (black/white/asian) (muslim/jew).

This disgusting practice must end, I don’t fucking care about what your imaginary sky daddy say about the penis of little boys.

Nodebunny · 2023-12-06T12:41:53+00:00

yes and yes! MGM

ButtHunterEmails00 · 2023-12-09T18:56:09+00:00

This is unhinged and makes normal people completely disgusted, just drop it, its not a winnable topic.
