Kinda fucked up how people basically ignore the fact that we do genital mutilation in America.
Really fucked up that if you call it genital mutilation or the sexual assault of a child people will push back against it and defend the act.
Nobody is ever going to take you seriously if you keep equating this to genital mutilation, which in common usage clearly and always refers to female genital mutilation which is so vastly different and more barbaric so as to render any kind of comparison immediately moot.
If you have to speak in hyperbole and melodramatics to make your point, you don't have a point.
Not having kids, but it was done to me and I'm fine with it.
I've been in a relationship for ages now, but before that all the womem I asked said that preferred cut over uncut. Literally. All. Of. Them. It was at least a dozen.
But hey, don't let me disrupt this whole... Uhh... Thing you guys got going on this thread.
If you are fine with being circumcised, that seems like the best possible outcome and I'm glad you are happy with your body in that way. However, many people were circumcised and are not fine with it. After all, it is a choice made for them without their consent. Also, it shouldn't matter what women prefer. It should be your body, your choice. If someone wants to get circumcised later in life, that is their choice.
The mistake in all of this discussion is making those who are circumsized feel ashamed about it at all. No one should feel bad about being circumsized.
Now that that's out of way, that's a pretty weak counterargument. Your justification for why we should keep doing it is that society prefers it? That's exactly the thing that's finally being pushed back against. It's inherently a barbaric practice that serves no medical purpose (for the large majority) and is purely aesthetic, and we're doing it to newborn babies so they can look like their daddies and keep the social norm alive.
You don't have anything to feel bad about and it's great that it hasn't been a hindrance for you, but as soon as one generation stops, your argument will be moot.
The only shaming I've seen in this thread so far is of the parents who made that decision, and rightly so. People like the guy you replied to are perpetuating the issue by being so nonchalant about it.
Men in many African countries also overwhelmingly prefer their women cut. Coincidence?
You're obviously American, as were the women
It's ok, we in the civilised world already think you're stupid, your attitude towards mutilating the dicks of little boys is just another reason why we do.
Literally no thoughtful or reasonable sexual partner is going to say they prefer the type of penis it's impossible for you to have, so that data is wildly biased.
I'm a woman and I've been with both. I don't really care either way (and I feel confident most women who have actually been with both don't really care) but my best lasting lover by far was uncut. I will not circumcise any sons I have.
Also in America cut is so normal that people may prefer it because they're used to it.
But also, it's fucking wild to argue to cut a piece off your baby's genitals because of what future partners may mildly prefer. I wasn't circumcised because my mom was firmly against the practice and I'm grateful for that.
And to add my anecdotes, back when I had a dick the foreskin never got in the way of me getting laid, and one ex was super excited to learn I had it.
People prefer what's familiar, in cultures where it's not the norm they prefer uncut.
Yes, because that's what they're used to. That's not nothing. But in Australia I've had the opposite experience. Every single one saying they prefer uncut. It's just what you're exposed to.
it's wild to me how many let this one thing dominate their entire identity and rail against their parents for it.
Our parents are fallible. Its okay to point out the fucked up shit they did to us and say "this shit is fucked up"
yeah they should have beaten more kids so they wouldn't have time to winge about this garbage
