body mods require consent. stop fucking with babies' genitals. also don't pierce your kids' ears until they're old enough to ask for it.
Also take them to a piercing shop instead of Claire's or some dumb shit.
oh god yes this. if you're going to trust someone to put brand new holes in your child, please ask a professional rather than a teenager working after school for minimum wage.
also don’t pierce your kids’ ears until they’re old enough to ask for it.
definitely. my mother sensed the lesbianism early and was very enthusiastic about "letting" me skip school for a day to go to the nearest town to get that done. I can still feel weird kind of tubes(?) under the surface of my earlobe if I squeeze them a little, even though I literally never wore earings after the few week 'you can't take them out or it'll seal up' period, but still, 12 years later I have a weird permanent little mark of enforced femininity.
Don't bodymod your kids folks, it's fucked up and even the shit that's supposed to be harmless will never be completely undone and always carries some risk of infections or whatever.
its bad. a lot of the really hot takes at the forefront of the anti-circumcision movement can be pretty blatantly anti-semetic and focus on the religious aspect rather than the procedure itself, which i think is why the anti-circ movement isn’t taken seriously. after all its mostly chan chuds and weird conspiracy gen-xers. but mutiliating babies because of ancient religious traditions with little concrete medical benefit is pretty fucking stupid and its amazing that we still do this
It’s because of doctor Kellogg the cereal man in America it’s not even a religious practice here lol

when you're so white that rolled oats and having an intact body are too spicy and exciting for you
The anti circumcision movement is filled with the exact dumpster fires of humanity you don't want representing your movement.
At least on Reddit, once one anticircumcision person shows up, the thread is guaranteed to descend into stupidity.
Particular shout out to the ones who are CLEARLY blaming their issues with women on circumcision. Naw dude, even with an extra bit of skin you'd still have a shitty personality.
It's bizarre for your penis to be your penis, then get old enough to realize that's actually a big ass scar.
how else am I gunna farm my dick cheese? aint much but its honest work at my dick cheese plantation
thanks i'm going to vomit and then jump off the nearest 20 story building
Literally the only good thing my parents ever did for me was not cutting my dick.
That and teaching me not to talk to cops.
I think we should return to the biblical tradition of cutting off our fallen enemies' foreskins.
Different people are effected differently. Tip of my dick is numb because they screwed it up. I don't think they even realized they screwed it up because it looks normal.
I'm learning right now that people have sensation on that part of their penis. Like, very good sensations? This has be super fucked up thinking how I haven't been able to feel there with my significant other. It's like I'm less because of that.
Close your eyes and have your partner rub a feather over your fingertips, then have them do the same over your glans. My fingers are way more sensitive, and my glans is about as sensitive as my elbow.
The intact penis contains more fine-touch nerve endings that all ten fingers combined.
Ya we tried something similar. Literally feel more sensation down the shaft than the actual glans being touched.
imagine the feeling you get when you kiss someone and they tickle the roof of your mouth with their tongue. In fact you can just do this to yourself.
the glans is basically like that, but maybe twice as strong?
I'm circumcised. No complications, never any issues growing up. Then I had sex and couldn't cum. It took multiple tries to ever get to the point where I could orgasm because of the lack of sensation. It caused me and my partners a lot of confidence issues. It also made having a kid a lot harder. Any circumcised person is a victim of abusive trauma. Watch the procedure and tell me it isn't abusive. Just because we "cope" well later on and are likely to have productive and normal lives, it doesn't make it any better. Its just another blind spot that feminists tend to have, and dismiss out of hand as 'not important' .
Yeah I was super into it for a bit until I realized it was mostly yet another vehicle for anti-Semitic and Islamophobic stupidity.
I'm not going to stop fighting for human rights just because some people suck.
Nor should you but the INTACTIVISTS are literally a bunch of white men pretending that they're getting clipped by the MATRIARCHY
it was mostly yet another vehicle for anti-Semitic and Islamophobic stupidity
No, it's not. People are so upset about it because it personally affected them.
The majority of American boys are circumcised:

The circumcision rate in Israel is unknown but decreasing: https://forward.com/news/israel/391496/circumcision-rates-are-slipping-even-in-israel
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-israel-circumcision/in-israel-some-rebel-against-circumcision-idUSBRE8AR0M720121128Islamic circumcision does not have strict rules, the preferred age is 7 days or 7 years old or in puberty.
That can be done with consent, and local anesthesia which is usually not given to babies.

No, it’s not. People are so upset about it because it personally affected them.
Nah, again, it's mostly white men who want to feel like victims. I am against circumcision but I'm hardly an INTACTIVIST
I've never encountered another human being where I thought them wanting to feel like a victim could be a reasonable explanation for any of their behavior.
Some people want to play the victim, but that is completely different.
I agree with that but denying that a huge portion of the interest comes from anti-Muslim anti-Jewish sentiment is just ridiculous.
As with most things, you can see the contradiction by looking at a related phenonemon, and gauging the amount of public outrage about that. Are people outraged about girls having their ears unconsentingly pierced by their parents?
Useless and violating in infancy, but as I understand there are occasional like, actual medical reasons for it in adulthood
i remember when i learned that muricans circumcise their kids for non religious reasons
under my healthcare plan, there will be reverse circumcisions for all who want them.
that's right, fellas, ladies, and enbies, anyone who wants a foreskin can get one for free.
also, help an old guy out, enbies is the correct term right? It's in the name of a community here, but I don't know if I can use it. This is a sincere question.
