No big deal.

(seriously, this is the third weirdest thread I've seen since being a member here)
So, why don't we just cut the tip off of every child's left pinky toe? Just the very tip. Not as far as the bone.

No big deal.

Millions, probably billions of people the world over have had that little piece of skin removed upon reaching adulthood and regretted it. It's subjective which is preferable and to force the decision on somebody is imo, as you might have guessed, morally questionable.

No big deal.
There is cultural tradition and hygienic reasoning behind circumcision. That's a poor counter argument.

Re: the cultural thing, there's no real point to this post but I'll post it anyway. I've got a mate who's parents are Turkish. When he was about 8/9 years old they took him to an Imam's house and when he realised what was going on he tried to escape, got caught then held down and circumcised. They filmed it as well. After it was done they showered him with money and gifts.

Says the next few weeks were spent trying to pull the stitches out at night as it hurt so much. That's pretty fucked up imo.

I dunno how true it is but I've seen women argue it's better for them as well.

I haven't seen any convincing evidence that circumcision has any real benefits to hygiene. And why is cultural tradition a valid reason?

That's because there isn't any

Safe to say we now know who has the clean penises and who doesn't.....



I'm rocking the Gorton's Fisherman.

I think the worst of it would actually be having a penis.

How cis men don't go fucking nuts and chop that shit off is beyond me.
