can we all collectively agree to not circumcise our kids
EDIT: I dont mean for cases of extreme phimosis, that's actually a medical necessity (i should have specified originally), this is mostly over the unnecessary cuts at birth.
It's a really strange thing how the only developed
countries that cut infants for non-religious purposes are the united states, canada, australia (not common but statistically above average), korea, and the philippines" effectively nowhere else is it normal or expected to.
It's not only entirely medically unnecessary (or other countries would've started cutting), but quite damaging sexually and especially damning to do it to infants who cant receive pain blockers and experience fundamental changes to their brains afterwards.
A lot of misinformation is spread about it in an attempt to justify it, misinformation that is used to justify a lot of other genital cutting (FGM especially), like how "women prefer it" or "it's easier to keep clean". If either of these were true then why isnt every intact guy rushing to get cut? Because these issues are massively overplayed or straight up false.
Overall it's just a really weird practice and damming to do a permanent genital surgery like that on someone who cant consent to it and cant reverse it. It's just wrong and strange how people try to justify it.
EDIT: will try to add sources for my claims so i dont sound like a lunatic
