Another Circumcision thread

Oh, that sucks doesn't it?  Got stung by a bee once, right on the tip.  Just about jumped out of the car...and it was doing 60.  Ever have one of those moments where you think "god damn I'm glad I have clumsy hands!"  Went for the doorhandle, panic...too much pain to operate it, lol.

OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG.

You were naked in a car doing 60? What the hell were you doing, man?

Hm. An excellent point. How did the bee have penis access!? HMMM?

It was in my shorts.  Where I'm from, we hang our drawers to dry outdoors, lol.

Queen of weiners.

Ha, that's a great title.

Would you want them to bow down or stand and salute?

Stand and salute. Duh.

I have nothing against CL either. However, lopping a piece of skin off and then celebrating like they have won the superbowl with a barbecue and a beer in each hand, just sucks for the child, and all that because of some fallacy about being cut and being hygienic as opposed to being "uncut", and being dirty as fuck. You have to read in between the lines EP. If what her MIL stated is true, that uncut men are dirty, then that is the vibe I got when I read one of her first posts. If you are comparing one thing to another, even without saying mentioning the other object, the actual implication is there and that is what Rythym is talking about.

Give me a break. She never said "uncut men are dirty." 

It is true that things tend to get more gritty in between folds of skin vs if they were exposed to airflow. That's just common sense. But it isn't about being "dirty" or "clean"... it's about what that might mean, healthwise, for the man, or for the woman he is having sex with.   

As I said, I don't understand what it is with yall's obsession trying to make this like it's some sort of religious clean vs unclean thing for me.

Where is your evidence for this or are you talking personally? Remember, men have foreskins and women have inner and outer labia so please, don't tell me that women cannot get "gritty." Remember, you are giving eyewitness evidence for your "gritty", reference and I took a reference from a link to the British Journal of Urology's journal. Which do you think I would choose? Remember, urologists don't take 5 cases, they take possibly 1,000 times as much.

-but does she, or you, "froth at the mouth and scream incoherent shit at pro fgm'ers" at the thought of clitoral removal?  See, no one wants to touch this one.....

Same reasons offered, from the same traditions, same needlessness, same lack of any roundly demonstrable benefit - both genital mutilation done..by adults, to infants.....but one is a no go, and the other we don't give a shit about.  Or, in fact, find ourselves arguing -for-.

Well that would be a good parallel if they were threatening to remove the best/most sensitive bits.

That's exactly what circumcision does.  It even makes the remaining sensitive bits less sensitive.

But they're only looking to remove the protective blankey.

Yet another service it provides.  All of the existent pros keep coming up foreskin, lol.

But more to your point, no I don't think modern law should respect tribal custom in the area of clit removal.  Do you know of any countries that attach the same injunction to circumcision?

Yeah, actually, and most of the civilized world are about a hair away from banning it...with public sentiment behind them and legal propositions on the table.   You'll notice that the religious objection to such laws is ever present. When it's legal, it's all about "cleanliness"... but put their peckers in a vice and all of a sudden they acknowledge that they do it for religious/cultural reasons.

No, it's not exactly what circumcision does. That would be removal of the entire penis.

One of the funnier circumcision incidents is the Bizarre Foods episode (Madagascar I believe) where the host, Andrew Zimern feared he might have to eat the anchovy.

People who protest against all forms of female circumcision but don't disapprove of male circumcision are being hypocritical.
