The fact that they're even questioning it or discussing it is kind of a big deal on a sub like that, only a few have responded so far though.

For fucks sake circumcision has become some weird crusade, like men needed their own “My body my choice” thing to feel part of the victim crowd

No that's called paternal surrender and is sometimes known as "my wallet my choice". Men want to have the same reproductive rights as women, and I don't think that's such a bad thing to ask for. Normally we call these kinds of things "civil rights issues". Black people wanted the same rights as white people. And now men want to have the same rights as women. What really is the problem with just passing a couple of laws and finally wiping our hands clean of all this?

Yes this is also an issue of bodily integrity but they're not often compared to each other. And in fairness if you want to be consistent, then yes little boys are entitled to the same bodily integrity that adult women are. Like who would actually argue against this?

The reasons people give to support circumcision always seem crazy to me. The only argument I let pass is the religious one, and that's mostly because other Jews and Muslims make the argument that it is not a religious requirement, and that it can be done as an adult. I'm not a Jew or a Muslim so I stay out of it. Other then that, there's really no reason to argue in favor of circumcision. Like why do people get "triggered" when this topic comes up? I understand you might be circumcised but at least support other people's "right to choice" (I guess that analogy goes further than I realized).
