Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

    Hot take: I have never regretted being circumcized and never met anyone who regretted being circumcized so banning it doesn’t make sense for that reason alone. Some parents pierce their children’s ears without their consent, some give them frenectomies, pull teeth, reshape heads, bind feet, or do a variety of other “elective” procedures so I’m not sure why circumcision has so much hate.

      I know we have never met (and after having read your previous post i am quite okay with that), but I hate the fact i am circumcised. I have severe loss of feeling from it. My father said he regretted it the instant it was done and would have never agreed to it if he knew the way i was going to scream.

      I personally cannot regret being circumcised, as i had nothing to do with it other than being born with a foreskin.

        That dude just listed a bunch of horrendous mutilations and went “if that’s ok then…”.

        Critical thinking fail there.

      Definitely a hot take to say because other people mutilate their children without their consent that we should be okay with this mutilation.

      Also weird that people seem to take it as a personal attack that people want to ban pointless procedures because they had it done to them.

      Peak “If it was good enough for me, it’s good enough for my kids” energy right there.

      If we find people who regret it, do we then need to ban it? Is there a certain threshold of regretful people we need to meet?

      Do you expect a lot of people to regret something that happened to them before they were capable of forming memories?
