    Taking a knife to a baby so that they can less easily masterbate when they’re an adolescent is actually pretty similar to taking to a knife to a baby so that they will experience less sexual stimulation when they grow up.

    I’m sorry that one has been made socially acceptable in your country. I’m sorry you lost your hood, bro :(

    You think your take might be a little biased?

      Yeah I’m biased because I’ve had literally zero trouble. But that’s beside the point. Not comparable. Saying they are doesn’t make it so

        It doesn’t matter if you like having a cut dick or not. That isn’t what is being discussed. The issue isn’t circumcision itself it’s that people are cutting the foreskin of children without their consent. I don’t give a shit if anyone does it once they are 18.

        And the fact that some of the women you meet liked that is especially irrelevant because it only applies to countries where they like to alter the genitals of children for appearance and anti masturbatory reasons. The opposite would apply everywhere else.

          No what was being discussed was FGM. The troll weirdo hijacked that, please stop participating in that, it’s pathetically shitty

            The reason people aren’t discussing that is that it’s obvious to everyone that it’s bad, so what is there to say? What apparently isn’t obvious is this.
