        mutilating your child’s genitals without anesthetic for cosmetic reasons is abuse. if you disagree with that you’re fucking wrong.

          That’s the thing. A lot of parents didn’t do it for aesthetic reasons. They thought it was healthier. This is what I mean when I say people are extreme about it. You’re being completely hostile about it. The reality is it’s an unnecessary practice we should stop doing but it doesn’t negativity affect the lives of the vast majority of people it’s done to. Implying that every circumcised male in history was abused by their parents is ludicrous.

            mutilating your child’s genitals because you couldn’t be bothered to inform yourself about it is also abuse

            imagine making this argument for literally any other form of abuse. hell, even any other form of mutilation. oh, yeah, i cut off the baby’s earlobes because, uhh … i get cysts in mine sometimes and thats kinda scary. earlobes must be bad.

            and yes, im being hostile. we should be hostile toward INFANT GENITAL MUTILATION and those who support it.
