how dare the racist and oppressive CCP ban genital mutilation of children >:(
Do you guys not remember that hilarious headline from India, where the BJP thugs were chanting something like "thrash the circumcised"? The headline itself was almost too funny to take seriously, despite it describing a litteral lynchmob.
I mean it's literally unnecessary surgery done without consent of the victim but yeah 'not that bad'
I was really pissed when I found out circumcision makes your dick less sensitive and by proxy sex becomes worse. Why on earth would you do that to a person. Goddamn it mom
I'm circumcised too, while I don't think it's that bad, it's still not consensual and is by definition mutilation
Female genital mutilation (FGM) "is the ritual cutting or removal of some or all of the external female genitalia" (wikipedia). By those terms, how is circumcision not MGM? Of course FGM has far worse affects, but they're both still mutilation.
The wikipedia on circumcision literally states: "this article is about male circumcision. For female circumcision, see Female genital mutilation."
Of course FGM has far worse affects, but they’re both still mutilation
There is like a bajilion types of FGM. Some are better than circumcision, some are worse.
It's not like FGM, but if someone did the ACTUAL equivalent of circumcision, they would be put in jail.
How dare the CCP inflict upon the Uighurs...
checks notes
... medical standards that are accepted in most developed countries?
Why is it a thing in the US? Like it's not for religious reasons like other places

Kellogg was outspoken on his beliefs on race and segregation, though he himself raised several black foster children. In 1906, together with Irving Fisher and Charles Davenport, Kellogg founded the Race Betterment Foundation, which became a major center of the new eugenics movement in America. Kellogg was in favor of racial segregation and believed that immigrants and non-whites would damage the gene pool. :amerikkka:
What do you mean? You can get children circumcised almost in every country in the world.
My understanding is that while you can elect to get it done in most places, it is not considered "normal" in most places outside the US.
In France it's basically limited to medical reasons and Jewish kids (and the later shouldn't be legal IMO). I was flabbergasted the first time I found out between 76% and 92% of men in the US are circumcised.
Lmao normally I am China bad but really? Come on, China is bad for banning nonconsensual circumcision? Ridiculous.
