I’m a 25 year old, circumcised male. I am living in a time when women are treated so “badly” that they need legislation to make sure they have a nice easy free ride, while media and governing officials look the other way from real victims. Yes, I am fucking irritated. How is it that circumcisions at birth are still legal? This is genital mutilation. The child has no choice in the matter. As an adult I feel my right to autonomy has been violated, comment your thoughts and feelings. I just needed to get this shit out.

it does hurt. it's both immensely painful at the time, and it permanently cripples your sexual function and the amount of pleasure you can feel during sex.
it does absolutely nothing to protect you from infections.
how much of your penis could somebody cut off before you'd stand up for yourself?

actually, it seems like it's rarely a productive conversation. usually the mother will just say that everyone else was doing it and get defensive. they rarely apologize.
no, a scarred and keratinized penis is not universally seen as more attractive. many of us find the scars absolutely disfiguring.

every circumcised penis is scarred. it's not possible to amputate a body part without leaving a scar where that body part used to attach. do you know the jagged line about a third of the way down your shaft where the flesh color changes dramatically? does that look natural to you?

i'm sure you don't go around telling women you wish they had bigger breasts or you wish they lost a little weight. you probably think them, but it'd be rude to come out and say it.
70% of the world's men go their whole lives with whole penises, and nearly all circumcised men were circumcised in accordance with their islamic faith. your opinion isn't as popular as you seem to assume it is.

you assumed that public opinion is that mutilated penises are more attractive.
i haven't assumed anything about your body image. area you sure you know what that phrase means?
