    I read just fine. You just can’t accept that lots of people disagree with you. The person calling a medical procedure done in a hospital mutilation is obviously lying. You lie and exaggerate because telling the truth would mean you don’t get to look down on people from the internet.

    Our bodies having parts doesn’t make them inherently useful or purposeful or superior to life without. We still have tail bones, we grow teeth that don’t fit it our mouths, babies have razor-sharp nails that they slash their faces with, and we get auto-immune diseases. Our bodies are a minefield, constantly finding new and inspired ways to die or fail in spectacular fashion.

    Repeated childhood infections that can be reduced to zero are hard to measure as people whose children suffer from repeated infections arr loath to self report for risk of being investigated for negligence.

    The advice to wash your dick is a sure sign that you weren’t heavily involved in raising a child. Getting them to brush their damn teeth, wash their hands, and just generally not be gross is hard enough without necessitating a genital check as well.

    If that can be achieved with a common and safe procedure that has extra perks and downsides that are largely assumed instead of proven, all the better.

      You think it’s really important to perform an unnecessary procedure. That’s fine for you, but it doesn’t make it necessary. It’s a cultural practice.

      Circumcision isn’t mutilation in and of itself, but performing an unnecessary surgery on somebody without consent is.

      My kids do all of those things. You’re just bad at parenting, which explains a lot, actually.

      Imagine cutting off a part of your child because you aren’t capable of getting them to clean it.

        You’ve assumed I don’t do all those things as well. The difference is I’m not a piece of shit online about it calling people bad parents. But you are.
