It's not fucking genital mutilation! This is not at all like women having their clits cut off.

Just because it's not as extreme as FGM doesn't mean it's not genital mutilation. It's literally slicing off a body part that doesn't need to be sliced off.

Adults should be able to slice off whatever they want. If they choose to do it. They should have that choice.

Infant genital mutilation shouldn't just be casually accepted. What's weird is to think it's a non-issue when it's widespread across a country as big as the US.

I get that it's not as bad as women getting their clits cut off but what the fuck makes you think it's not genital mutilation?

It's a surgery that makes life better. Not a mutilation.

It's nothing like pineapple on pizza, tipping, etc. That makes it sound inconsequential. It's a human rights issue. Maybe talking about it here won't change much, but it's important to have the conversation. Otherwise the practice will remain normalized. If even one parent reads this thread and reconsiders circumcising their child, it'll be worth it.

Circumcision has minor benefits that are weighed against it being an unnecessary surgery with chance of complications like all surgery. The argument isn't over that, the argument is over how much say parents get over unnecessary medical procedures on their children.

Most states only require the consent of a single parent to perform a circumcision. HOWEVER, although the law is not very established on this subject, a parent or guardian who feels that circumcision will not be in the best interests of the child may file an injunction to prevent the operation.

-So yell at your parents.
-Go change the law.
-Get over it
-Cry on a video game sites social board
-???
-Profit!

it always amazes me how defensive people get over the "right" to take sharp metal objects to an infants penis and then proceed to cut off half of said penis while said infant screams himself into a shock induced coma.

The way in which defenders get so defensive(and it's hardly unique to gamefaqs) you'd think that I was advocating the right to legally bash your face in, kick your dog, and then kill your spouse and kids.

Seriously guys.....all we are saying is that cutting an infants penis should be illegal. On what planet is this controversial?

the reaction we see here on gamefaqs, is pretty common in real life and in other forums at least as far as circumcision goes. People get beyond defensive about the right to mutilate baby penises.

Not to say that one is always good and the other is always wrong, but circumcision and the SRS process are drastically different and not comparable.

Also this individual case is relevant to this topic:

Nothing ever comes of this discussion even there are a few people taking it seriously. I have no strong feeling about circumcision. I am. Both my boys are. And even if I did have strong feeling previous discussions of this topic seem to go about as well as the other topics I mentioned. Thats why I specifically mention CE and not the topic of circumcision in general.

Like I said, if it makes even one parent reconsider, it's worth it.

The fact that you did it to your own children means you probably won't budge. I disagree strongly. Hopefully they won't grow up like me and other men in this thread who wish the operation hadn't been performed on them. But even if they don't mind when they're adults, there's no reason to deprive other people of the choice. Every thread like this one chips away a little at how it's normalized in American culture.

I wish there was hard data on how many people ended up like him. There are only rough guesses and estimates sadly since doctors sweep it under the rug. But to the people that don't care and do it anyway, I guess good for you that you didn't get a David Reimer.

Yeah you think bodily autonomy and basic human decency would be enough, but religion and some dumb sense of tradition is stronger apparently.

It's only a fundamental problem if there is real physical or psychological damage that each individual man can directly correlate with their own circumcision. The people that feel strongly about it probably do. But there's an infinite amount of men that never give circumcision a second thought. In fact the only two times I did when whether we'd circumcise our boys.

As someone else mentioned ... in these discussions both sides are embellished, and people take their own personal experience with circumcision or the lack of and apply to everyone else. Which erroneous.

Do you guys not see what's wrong in forcing a procedure on someone who can't consent? Don't make dumb comparisons like giving your kid a haircut either.

I think we should remove the appendices and tonsils of all infants. They don't need to be there and might just need to come out later anyway.

Maybe just take the whole penis and then they'll never need to worry about having penis sex and getting a STD from it.

I can't believe we live in a world where anything matters more than bodily autonomy and consent. Unless a child is at serious health risk, a knife should not be put to any part of them until they can decide for themselves.

Barely anyone would agree to it if doctors only agreed to do it to adults or teens.


If I were a baby and somebody told me "wanna get circd right now? You won't remember it or feel it, and girls will think your sausage looks cool. If you don't it will smell funny a couple hours after you shower and girls will get grossed out by it and think it looks funny. Also you can tear your frenulum while having sex and there will be penis blood everywhere" I would SO CHOOSE THE CIRC!
