Why does there seem to be a stigma attached to advocate for Men's Rights?

I see the argument has now descended into irrelevant banter. Good luck in your fight against "male mutilation" guys lmao.

I don't think this is a particularly good analogy. How about tonsils instead? Tonsilectomies are not much more invasive than circumcisions and tonsils are prone to infection, are not necessary to survive, and yet, we don't cut them out of children until after they've demonstrated a medical need for their removal.

Holy **** this last page of dialogue is full of absolutely stupid bandying about of absurdities

I'm out.

A more fair analogy, and I will use that in the future.

Also, wisdom teeth.

I wouldn't refer to the appendix though, since I believe abdominal surgery to be more invasive (and the risk statistics for complications of appendectomies are higher) and thus not equivalent.

Idunno probably because children are always the ones that stuff like this happens to when they deserve it the least.

I only keep repeating that part because its a very important part of the argument that seems to get looked over quite often by those who have been exposed to it all of their life.

It's not that it gets overlooked, it's that the part being removed is essentially useless and is done because the parents believe it serves a medical purpose. Comparing it to the mutilation of the female genitals is absolutely ridiculous considering they have their clitoris removed which is a humongous difference.

Also there are detrimental effects to circumcision. I'm not sure why people keep pretending the foreskin is a completely irrelevant part of the body. Jesus Christ.

The preventative medical purpose that it serves protects against things that your are statistically just as likely to happen to you as negative effects from vaccines.

So let's not vaccinate because needles aren't considered sexy and chic right now.

But yes, clearly the foreskin is a vital part of the body and it would be absolutely detrimental to snip it.
