Alright I’m honestly not going to talk about or debate circumcision anymore on here starting now because it’s fucking exhausting. Bottom line, I am not strictly against it, especially when it is done in a religious manner and not for the sake of aesthetic or ‘preventing masturbation.’ I can understand people who ARE strictly against it or advocate for it to wait until later in life. However I’m not going to continue to tolerate y’all shoving it down my throat when I’m not even opening myself up to debate or saying “anti-circumcision is in any way bad.”

And honestly at this point if you’re going to harass me or other people on my post because you want to prove circumcision is bad despite nobody fucking asking for it or debating you until y’all decided to dogpile me just for mentioning ‘respectfully disagreeing’ with anti circumcision stances, I’m going to be blocking you. Go do this on your own damn posts if you want but I’m not gonna keep tolerating it.

I finally relented and made a graphic presenting 'both sides' of the circumcision 'debate.'  If this were properly seen as a medical ethics [lack thereof] issue and a human rights issue (rather than as a parenting choice issue) there wouldn't be a call for an 'unbiased' presentation of 'both sides' of the 'debate.'  Breast ironing? Scarification? Tattooing? Cutting girls' genitals (in even the most minor form)? We don't hear calls for 'both sides' of those issues, because those mutilations aren't our own.  'Both sides' of human rights? 'Both sides' of equal protection under the law? 'Both sides' of following medical ethics and normal protocols?  It would be comical if the results of this idiocy weren't so tragic. ~Devon

Throughout history, some humans have rationalized depriving other humans of their basic rights. With hindsight, those egregious violations seem obvious.  But at the time they were 'subjects of debate' with 'strong opinions' on 'both sides.'  Like forced circumcision is now presented by some. Though you can find reports of women who were 'happy' they were denied the vote... or of those who were content to drink from the "colored" fountains and not rock the boat... it didn't justify the human rights violations.  ~Devon

If the CDC and the WHO both agree that you're wrong then I'm gonna side with them....
