Why do people downvote you for just sharing your experience in a manner? I’m circumcised too and glad that I am.
Because he's A) talking nonsense, and B) making genital mutilation of babies sound like it's not that bad.
You want part of your dick cut off? Cool. Do it when you're old enough to consent to it.
If this were about tattooing babies, or piercing them, or cutting off their earlobes, everyone would rightly be against it (even though all of these are less dangerous and less likely to have complications).
It's only because Americans, Jews, and Muslims are used to this practice that they accept it. If it were a new thing, it would be seen as the barbaric practice that it truly is.
I believe there's also the element of "well if I admit that circumcision of babies is wrong, that means there's something wrong with my penis. And I don't want there to be something wrong with my penis. Therefore I'm on the side of genital mutilation being ok."
God damn you have some serious issues my dude. Sorry your parents traumatized you but you need to calm down and stop attacking people who have different opinions than you. He said he got it done and he was grateful for it, let it go and stop downvote brigading because he doesn’t fall into line with your cronies. The whole Brogan anti circumcision crew from Reddit was one of the cringiest groups that I wish never migrated over to lemmy. They were so self righteous about their stance they would never listen to arguments from the other side, and were 1000% convinced everyone else was a monster.
I for one am happy mine was done, my dick is plenty sensitive and it doesn’t look like a crusty ant eater. My sexual partners have been very thankful for the same, and I’ve received numerous compliments to the same. The truth is, most women find uncircumcised dick to be pretty gross. I can see a few reasons for that, and one of them is simply the look, but the other is because more than a few of them had to deal with a dirty fucking uncut guy who didn’t wash probably and it was nasty af and left them with a bad impression of uncut guys.
Because this particular internet conversation moved beyond any kind of rationality somewhere around 2002
Yeah, the people against mutilating the genitals of babies are irrational when they talk about how fucked up they think forced genital mutilation is.
It's definitely not the people who dogmatically defend cutting off parts of baby genitalia despite all the suffering and issues it causes, who are behaving irrationally.
If you want to have parts of your dick chopped off, more power to ya. But do it when you're a consenting adult.
This is a barbaric practice that itself is only a surrogate for the much more barbaric practice of child sacrifice.
To suggest discussion of it moved beyond any kind of rationality is laughable because its very foundation is a rejection of rationality.
Let's have a rational discussion: what is your best, rational, science-backed reason for supporting the nonconsensual mutilation of male infants?
I know some of those words are emotionally provocative but they are 100% accurate and simply not cloaked in polite euphemism, and you need to engage with each of them on a rational basis.
I eagerly await your thoughts.
The more time I spend on Lemmy the more I realize people here are just the worst.
Those people against genital mutilation of babies are the worst.
Like who the fuck do they think they are? I can cut whatever I want from babies. I don't hear them declining consent.
I'm against circumcision too.
I didn't downvote a guy who had it done to him against his will for sharing his personal experience.
They are not downvoting him for being circumcised, but for the (incorrect) information following that fact. I'd be pissed too if I couldn't read, so get my upvote.
