What is it with yanks and cutting up babies dicks?
Religious cult nonsense is the typical reason.
And then it got so popular they decided it would be weird to stop 🙄
It’s cool to be stupid and promote anti intellectualism in the US
Look up "John Harvey Kellogg circumcision". A lot of the US obsession with cutting up baby penisses is because of him and his obsession with preventing boys from masturbating.
And unfortunately, many Americans don’t ever think or question anything. It just remained this way.
Wasn't that why he invented corn flakes too?
It didn't work.
That dude was a freak
On Wikipedia, his supposed instigation and popularization of circumcision is listed as a common misconception. It still looks like he supported the practice at some point though
The Kellogg in Fallout 4 is his descendant
They sell the foreskins.
And you have to pay to have it removed!
I think it used to be about preventing masturbation?
Lol you'd think they would have figured out pretty quick that it didn't work
At this point it's mostly just to match the dad.
more carry overs from judaism; so much of the bible carries over
Idk I got one because im Jewish, soon the entire thing will be cut off >:3
Christian radicals I think.
