It's not bigotry to be opposed to genital mutilation.
There is zero biological reason to remove foreskin. It's objectively mutilation.
I'm circumsized. I did not give anyone permission to remove a part of my penis that was perfectly healthy when I was an infant and could not consent. I want you to quantify to me how I was not done wrong, and how my bodily autonomy was not violated. I understand that isn't the case in the article, but it's the perfect example for you to argue.
Also, just because a culture or religion does something doesn't mean I have to support it, and it definitely doesn't make me a bigot to oppose it. Iran will stone women to death under Sharia Law. Am I a bigot for saying stoning women is bad?
Infant genital mutilation is disgusting and I think it's about time it's made illegal around the world. I'm sorry about your penis.
As someone who is perfectly comfortable with his circumcized penis: it's absolutely mutilation.
Agreed. My parents had me snipped. When I asked why it was basically "well everyone was doing it."
My son is intact and can make his own decision about it when he's older.
