Not really neckbeardy, just human rightsy.

Male circumcision has been endorsed by the world health organization as a means of HIV prevention. The idea that it's in any way comparable to female genital mutilation is patently absurd.

Link? And it's still genital mutilation. People are literally ripping off part of a baby's penis

Holy fucking shit- you have no idea how circumcision works, do you?

It's a vestigial organ that provides no improvement to quality of life by it's presence and, absent, actually improves public health hugely.

I just don't understand people who loudly run their mouths clearly before even attempting to do any research.

Like, you haven't even tried.

I feel like this is common knowledge, but I'll say it again, just for you.

The foreskin has 3 major functions. It 1) contains thousands of nerve endings 2) mobilizes the skin of the penis, important for many aspects of sexuality and 3) protects the head of the penis, just as the clitoral hood protects the clitoris.

From your very own link

should be considered an efficacious intervention for HIV prevention in countries and regions with heterosexual epidemics, high HIV and low male circumcision prevalence

None of which are true for the US.

I hope you prove me wrong, but you seem to me to be the sort of person that pits women's right's/causes against men's. Many men on the other side are guilty of the same thing. Why? I see a lot of MRA vs feminist bickering and it achieves nothing. We should all be banding together to achieve the goal of human rights for all.

Blah, blah, blah, this is getting very kum-ba-yah. But anyway, using this issue as an example, why does it have to be an argument about which is worse. Why can only one of them be bad?

This is getting too long. tl;dr: oppose non-consensual genital cutting for all, regardless of sex.

If the intactivists continue on their absurd crusade, the prevalence of male circumcision will drop like a rock.

Because they're patently different things. One is a widely accepted and endorsed medical practice, the other is a purely cosmetic act with zero actual medical value. The idea that you would compare the two in a meaningful way is insane.

Not particularly. And what about all the people who grow to want their forskin? Not everyone is gonna fuck or at least fuck someone with HIV.

Not everyone is going to catch polio, but we still find vaccination permissible.

A circumsized person, even an HIV-infected circumsized person, is less likely to transmit that disease to their partner. You stop the spread of disease.

IF they have sex. HIV only transfers via semon, blood, and breastmilk. if you catch it through blood or breastmilk it typically doesn't involve sex. Also /u/underswamp1008 provided a good argument you might want to respond to.( because yes, I'm aware that I don't know much about circumcision. )

What does having a foreskin have to do with your blood and semen?

[–]ghostzanit 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Perfect logic m'sir: Don't use protection; cut off foreskin for minor percentage decrease in HIV transmission risk.

Seriously, how is this a reasonable argument? You'll never get pink eye, if all your did is gouge out your eyes.

[–]DerpyGrooves[S] -1 ポイント0 ポイント

I'm not sure you read the WHO report. The benefits of circumcision are realized in addition to protection.

Also 60% decrease in transmission risk is hardly a trivial percentage.

And now you're comparing circumcision to eye-gouging. I'm circumcised, and I can assure you I would miss an eye far more than I currently miss my foreskin.

[–]ghostzanit 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Here we go again. I don't care if you're circumcised. But I really don't get why Americans are so hell bent on keeping this shit going on with future generations. Just leave it be.

[–]DerpyGrooves[S] -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Honestly, I'd rather put my trust regarding matters of public health in the hands of an internationally recognized medical organization like WHO than somebody suffering from an obvious case of castration anxiety.

So you're an advocate for male circumcision? be careful there, m'fellow neckbush, you'll cut your self on that edge (not just any edge, but the sharpest Komamura Sword). Your spreading of circumcision, is something only a tier 1 genius would do.

PS. m'lady says she loves my cut love-sword, and she's advocate for male circumcision. a smirk and a'tip to you m'friend, keep on informing the uncut sheeple!

[–]DerpyGrooves[S] -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were a doctor. Maybe you should get in touch with the world health organization regarding your findings.

[–]theirsknowhope 1 ポイント2 ポイント

WOAH! add another "win" to your "internet arguments" I guess neither of us need to be doctors when you're such an informed health advocate! you're letting your guard down m'fellow neckbeard, don't let uncircumcised heathen put their HIV infected meat swords anywhere near your waifu!

Be sure to bring up male circumcision around girls. Question them about it, and ask if they would like to see yours! if any harlet, is opposed to circumcision, make sure you inform her, and make her change her mind. Remember, you're a tier 1 intellect, and you've never lost an argument in your life.

This really isn't a high-minded philosophical argument, this is medical research borne out by evidence.

Tis m'favorite sub Reddit to duel in! But i've waved m'white flag! I play life like a an episode of 'Attack on Titan'. I let uninformed heathen like yourself battle me, only to draw you in before my final blow (kinda like playing a super-boss on impossible mode). AHA! i've distracted you, m'fellow redditor u/treefinger1235 PWNED you in a comments below! lick your wounds, and recover. Losing your first argument must be tough. Shinji Ikari would overcome such a blow, so you can too.

here's a hug gif this will help you
