It seems kind of pointless to post here since no one posts on Usenet these days, but fuck it. This seems like the only place on the internet that doesn't worship foreskin and I need to vent badly.
I've spent pretty much all my life not giving a shit about circumcision. It wasn't until a few months ago I decided to research the topic. Mostly because an anti-circ friend of mine wouldn't stop banging on about the subject and I wanted to read more about some of the more wild claims she was suggesting.
What did I learn? Holy shit is she wrong. Furthermore, the amount of foreskin propaganda on the internet is insane. Shit, anti-circ people themselves are at best emotionally charged idiots (like my friend) and at worst complete fucking liars.
My studying and research on circumcision has lead me to become 100% pro-circ, yet I can't say anything due to the rampant anti-circ view that pretty much almost all people my age seem to have. What's even more insane is that my generation is general fine with things like hair-lip removal, braces, etc., but suddenly when it comes to foreskin they screech about how NOW parents making medical decisions for their children is wrong.
The moral argument against circumcision is pure bullshit. Parents are responsible for making choices for their infants and children as they are not mentally developed enough to make their own medical decisions. I think deep down, the majority of anti-circ people know this, which is why they then proceed to worship bullshit "studies" written by people who are considered a laughing stock in the science community about how foreskin IS LITERALLY THE PENIS EQUIVALENT TO THE CLITORIS AND THAT HUNDREDS OF BABIES DIE FROM CIRC EVERY YEAR MAN.
It's also disgusting how anti-circs will go own about how pro-circ people don't care about the men who have suffered from botched circumcisions, yet are completely silent when it comes to men who suffer from foreskin problems (which are far more common than circ complications). Or worse, if a guy had to get circumcised for medical reasons, they just downplay his issues with a "At least you had a choice" line. IT'S NOT A FUCKING CHOICE IF YOU HAD TO GET IT DONE FOR MEDICAL REASONS. God, and that's not even considering the people who think foreskin problems only occur from "forced retraction" and that creams cure everything.
And don't even get me started on fucking MRAs. They literally think the only reason science supports circumcision is because of a conspiracy against men. Somehow, it never gets through their thick skulls, that maybe, just maybe, these scientists and medical associations who support circumcision are doing it because they care about men and not because they're evil misandrists? Shit, I'd argue wanting men to be at a higher risk for penile cancer, HIV, phimosis, and balanitis just so one's ego can't be crushed fits in far more with the definition of misandry.
But yeah, that's pretty much my rant. I doubt I'll post more on here seeing as there's next to no people on here. I just needed to let my feelings out, and given how trying to have a discussion with anti-circ people is like talking to a brick wall, it's pointless to to try and explain my findings to my friend. I can only hope that my generation stops being so stupid with this subject.
