Circumsion must be illegal world-wide.

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I've heard an american nurse's perspective who's had to clean uncircumsized children. What I gather is thar americans are so generally unhygenic and neglectful that it's extremely common for parents to bring in children for cleaning when things go wrong. She thinks circumscion is a medically sound option.

The american government thinks circumcision is a cost effective preventive measure, which makes sense if you've seen the price of healthcare. The rest of the world generally agrees that this practice isn't super effective, and it's primarily fueled by judaism and islam or aesthetic.

I'll spare the horror stories and scary diagrams for my fellow man. I'm against circumcision. Have you seen what it looks lile after surgery and how much pain the baby is in? The diaper hurts them.

We don't complain about having to clean baby girls. Not to mention the risk for irreversable damage that can reduce pleasure or be painful for life.

I think consenting individuals should participate in the anatomy of their body and not have that choice taken away by religious/lazy parents.

The idea that baby boys are hard to clean and the healthcare excuse are both propaganda created by Christian fundamentalist groups.

It's not necessary in any way and is even considered unethical in many parts of the world.

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.

That dude was a freak

[–] okr765@lemmy.okr765.com 2 points 6 days ago

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

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

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?

Neonatal genital herpes isn't going to spread itself.

Is there like an evil version of TIL? Because I just went to the Wikipedia article about this practice and I wish I hadn't done that.

Also intersex kids. Obviously their bodies aren't sacred. Only binary cis people.

I suspect circumcision is a devious, elaborate conspiracy by the lotion industry.
