Anybody seen "MORE PENIS" signs in your area?

[leftyladyfrommo]

I guess there is an anti circumcision group out there. They were around my area yesterday. Big signs and red on the front of their white pants. They call themselves "goodcock" or something.

Amazing

[niyad]

1. Is this for real?

[leftyladyfrommo]

4. I think it is. Thete were pictures on Nextdoor.

They were up on 152 Highway and then in Liberty.

KCMO north area. Everyone was wondering what was going on.

Isn't some state trying to pass an anti circumcision bill?
Florida?

[BlackSkimmer]

15. The only place I have seen ANYTHING about "an anti-circumcision bill" is here.

Why are people posting this stuff?

[inthewind21]

25. Good question

Better question, why are people taking it as gospel and RE-POSTING it?

[cksmithy]

2. We have only

seen "Do you have a rash on your wiener?" or "Is your kitty itchy?" billboards all over town. They have a picture of dachshund or a cat on their billboard for a Veterinary clinic that does low cost spay and neuters.

[Lovie777]

5. LOL.........

seriously

[cksmithy]

6. Yes.

[Sympthsical]

11. I saw a sign offering services the other day

Squirrel matador.

And now I feel like I went back to school for the wrong profession.

[cksmithy]

13. We have a squirrel ring

(bull ring) in our back yard. We put put bird seed and squirrel food (various nuts, etc,). Birds of all types and squirrels, and occasional mouse, come to feast in our back yard. The pigeons are real bullies and chase the doves and little birds all around. We have squirrel matadors in our yard daily. They chase each other, there is nothing like a dozen squirrels running over your roof and into your trees. Hence, the term squirrely, for weird behavior.

3. Without saying anything about circumcision, I will say a lot of these "Intactivist" groups are

to some extent parallel to MRA/racist/hate groups.

[DanBollinger]

26. Nah!

They just want to protect baby boys from harm.

[gopiscrap]

38. welcome to DU

7. Paging Sacha Baron Cohen...

C'mon man, we know it's you.

[sanatanadharma]

8. anti-circumcision is anti-jewish prejudice

It has been a bone of contention for 2000 years.

Jesus was circumcised.
Jewish baby boys have no choice.

[Silent3]

9. It can be anti-Jewish, but it hardly has to be

I think some people genuinely consider male circumcision an unnecessary medical procedure, possibly harmful, and forced on a baby without choice.

I personally can't get that worked up about it because I was circumcised and it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I'm kind of happy the word "smegma" has been nothing by a Monty Python joke in my life.

Male circumcision certainly not as extreme or damaging as female circumcision, to which it is often unfairly equated. Female circumcision is explicitly meant to inhibit female sexual pleasure later in life, a clearly repressive measure.

[roamer65]

27. I resent the fact that I was not able to make the choice.

While it can be anti-Semitic in some cases, it isn’t in many, many other cases.

It’s simply about human rights, IMO. The default should be that it shouldn’t be done unless requested and it definitely should not be reimbursable unless medically required.

The province of Ontario stopped OHIP reimbursement for it about 20 years ago. Rightly so and our insurance companies should stop reimbursement as well.

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. Isn't circumcision pretty common nowdays?

It's not just for religion anymore?

[RussBLib]

12. Yes it is pretty common

...and lots of studies show it can be healthier for a baby boy and that it does not really alter the sensitivity of, or lessen the sexual satisfaction of, those who are circumcised.

[DanBollinger]

28. Nope!

In the U.S. only 1% of newborn circs are religious and have been for a century.

[RussBLib]

29. Welcome to DU

So the circumcision thread got you out, eh?

By 1% religious, do you mean Jewish?

Got some kind of link for that? Cause it sounds way too low.

[progressoid]

35. Not even close.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/circumcision-rates-by-state

The highest circumcision rates in the U.S. are in the Midwest, with Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, and Michigan all reporting rates above 80%. The lowest rates are in the Southwest, with Nevada, Arizona, and California all reporting rates below 25%.

In the United States, as many as 85% of male newborns were circumcised in 1965. But that number has fallen steadily for the past half-century, especially as immigration from countries where circumcision is not common has increased. In 2011, the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, as reported by U.S. hospitals, put newborn males' circumcision rate at 57%.

[cksmithy]

14. My husband is 73, born in New Jersey was, his brother born in Cleveland, 1951 was not circumcised.

My father wasn't and if we had a son, he would not have been circumcised.

[BlackSkimmer]

16. What? No pics?

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. I couldn't find them when I tried to find it again. They just

Looked like your common Missouri wierdo.

[BlackSkimmer]

22. But with white paint with red crotches?

That would get my attention anywhere, I think.

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. White pants with red crotches. They give new meaning

to the word dick.

[xmas74]

30. They were in Topeka last week

They were in my MO town last fall at the college Homecoming parade, the second largest Homecoming in Missouri.
Article about them in Topeka.

[Bucky]

32. Here ya go

[MineralMan]

34. ROFLMAO!

[Initech]

17. Eh, we already have enough dicks in the GOP. Last thing we need is more!

Hey o!!!

[xmas74]

19. They were at the end of the UCM HOMECOMING parade

last fall.

[leftyladyfrommo]

21. See! I didn't make it up! Those idiots were really out there. nt

[xmas74]

24. The frat boys cheered them on

And threw beer cans their way.

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. This is where you slap a "Trump 2024" sticker right after it.

Or a "Santos 2024" sticker, or a "DeSantis 2024" sticker, or a "Vote Republican" sticker, or what have you.

[MineralMan]

33. Jebus! Is May Circumcision Month Here?

Seems like once a year we have a spate of circumcision posts, with the anti group duking it out with the "who cares" group.

And this is not the only place. I remember circumcision threads way back in the late 80s on Compuserve's political forum, too. Same arguments. Maybe the same people. Who can say?

[Orrex]

36. And that's just the tip.

[MineralMan]

37. Or the tip cover.

It's all too weird. If you Google all of this crap, you'll find that there have been polls to see whether women prefer one or the other. Results are inconclusive.

The arguments against circumcision are very personal, since the effects are rather personal, as well.

It seems a silly thing to argue about, though. You either are or you are not. You either have or you have not.

[Texasgal]

39. Yes!

This was just seen in Austin, TX not too long ago. Very Odd! Glad to know the meaning atleast.
