1. sunday wouldn't be complete without a circumcision war. nt

2. Gene Wilder is almost certainly circumcised.

He's a Jewish boy (Jerome Silberman). And I'm sure he's fine.

Can we please have a separate circumcision forum, like the "gungeon."

5. Doesn't mean he can't be against it

Plenty of opponents of circumcision are Jewish, and the meme is about health benefits, not religion. You have no idea how Wilder's circumcision may have impaired his sex life, as it has many others. (Clue: it's not just about "reaching orgasm" but how you get there.)

3. My interest in this thread was cut off in infancy.

4. It's a shame

more progressives don't treat all genital mutilation equally.

7. Perhaps because

circumcism is in no way comparable to female genital mutilation - unless you're claiming those circumcised have their penises cut off.

8. Even a ritual nick on the clitoral hood is banned in the US. Male infants deserve equal protection

under the law. This is not only a constitutional right, it is a human right (bodily integrity).

9. That's a conversation worth having (n/t)

[redqueen]

13. Agreed. It is sad that the issue is almost always derailed.

I don't understand how anyone who has done any research into this practice can remain in favor of it or treat it like a joke.

11. Might as well have with the keratinization.

Also a more appropriate comparison should be cutting off the glans. Cutting off the whole penis is just hyperbole.

6. Oh god no.

[Crunchy Frog]

10. Pretty bold stuff. Bring out all the progressive defenders of child genital cutting.n/t

12. ...

14. Divide and conquer.

All damn day.

[redqueen]

15. It is a matter of Human Rights and Constitutional Rights.

How can there be any doubt that this is an unacceptable practice?
