Kudos to him for being a lone protestor who gets attention, but it's hard to take him seriously looking like that.

History's greatest medical fraud? Not 60 years ago doctors were paid by cigarette companies to say cigarettes were healthy. They literally killed people with cancer through their fraud.

How is circumcision greater?

There are situations where circumcision is useful. I had a problem with my foreskin and it would hurt during sex, even during masturbation sometimes. I got circumcised back in September 2014 and I've been fine ever since. Circumcising babies that can't express their opinion is bad, but circumcision in itself isn't completely useless or without purpose.

Of course, but the comparison that is probably the most apt is imagine if everybody got their appendix removed at a certain age. Given the risk factors associated with each one, it would be a net negative for our society to do that rather than just pulling it out as needed. The cleaning argument makes little sense in the modern context, and of course STD spread is reduced, but it would be the equivalent of requiring every woman to take the pill until 20 to reduce teenage pregnancy, and anyway certain forms of FGM would also have a similar affect, but unlike circumcision they to not ascribe indirect benefits as a plus, while here they do. Its not without purpose, but it makes no sense to do a blanket surgery here.

Well one is still ongoing, that's gotta count for something.

No kidding. And that's just one example. People used to take mercury like nit was medicine. Doctors used to diddle women to cure their "hysteria."

Because circumcision has been going on for far longer than the period in which cigarettes were considered healthy.

[–]hmunkey 44ポイント45ポイント  (21子コメント)

But for a lot of that time, circumcision actually made medical sense. It's only in recent history that proper hygiene and understanding of germs is so common that circumcision has no medical benefits.

However, for the origin of circumcision, the only consensus that can be found among historians is that it was definitely not started to promote health.

Well...it was....except their idea of health was "prevent teenage boys from masturbating any way we can"

I'm talking like 3000BC origin. It had to be invented, and it was invented separately by several cultures.

I'm assuming sand under the foreskin in an era when bathing in water was reserved for the wealthy was probably unpleasant. Might explain all the wars.

But it didn't happen in Europe like it does in US. If it made medical sense wouldn't they have been doing it since the middle ages?

[–]Ex_Officio15It's a meme, you dip. 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

People have been doing it for thousands of years.

At which point did it give millions of people cancer though.

How is circumcision greater?

Because the tip is no longer filtered?

[–]OhMoscow 26ポイント27ポイント  (14子コメント)

Im circumcised without consent and I can give two shits

[–]frostbitex5 14ポイント15ポイント  (6子コメント)

So you do care?

Because I'm circumcised and I couldn't give two shits.

[–]OhMoscow 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ya thats what i meant lol

[–]lbr218 3ポイント4ポイント  (4子コメント)

It's always bothered me that "I could care less" and "I couldn't care less" mean the same thing.

[–]frostbitex5 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

But they don't mean the same thing.

[–]lbr218 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I know they don't but people use them interchangeably. That's what bothers me.

[–]frostbitex5 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ah. Yeah, it really sucks.

[–]brotherjustincrowe 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

What if you give a small, nonzero but statistically negligible amount of fucks?

[–]Relention 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

That's fantastic for you but you can't speak for everybody.

[–]OhMoscow 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep that's why I said "I'm" . I've never met anyone that was butthurt over being cut, and if they were it'd be more funny than serious

[–]R_Amsel 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

Jesus Christ, the anti-circumcision circlejerk here on reddit is nearly laughable.
