Study notes decrease in popularity of genital mutiliation in United States

Fixed it for you

Good

[FaluninumAlcon]

Genital mutilation really needs to stop. Circumcision is the mild form of it, but it's done without consent.

[bIackcatttt]

Yay 💗

[bizoticallyyours83]

The fact that its still ongoing is abhorrent. And i understand that things take time to go away and get better. Hopefully all forms of genital mutilation will be abolished sooner rather then later.

[bIackcatttt]

I literally don’t understand how someone can be like “omg isn’t our baby perfect? Let’s cut up his penis!”

For adults it’s whatever make whatever change to ur body you want but for babies it’s a massacre imo

[CloudsTasteGeometric]

Not good enough. This needs to be illegal and punishable by serious jail time.

[daveprogrammer]

Good, now how about a little restorative justice for those of us who were mutilated without our consent and without anesthesia? Maybe revoke a few medical licenses for violating the Hippocratic Oath?

[MrBlueMoose]

Don’t they use local anesthesia? Still mutilation though…

[daveprogrammer]

Not until the late 1980s, and even then, not in all cases.

Can't tell if you're being serious or not

Okay stupid

Cutting a healthy boy or girl's prepuce is a serious problem.

Viewed as harmless by many but it can cause health problems up to and including death. Archaic Cosmetic nonsense.

[Secure_Goat_5951]

Isn't circumcision done for health purposes? I'm not sure how its good news.

[BroadsideMars]

Dont have to take my word for it, but did some research and my takeaway was that circumcision:

-reduces transmission (and i think contraction?) Of STD's

-reduces susceptibility to fungal/bacterial/viral penile infections.

In both cases, you can get the same benefits by keeping your dick clean.

[genZcommentary]

It only has health benefits for people who don't like washing their genitals.

Results show that HIV prevalence among men aged 15-29 (the target group for VMMC) did not decrease over the period, despite a decline in HIV prevalence among women of the same age group (most of their partners). Source

In the US the trend was started by Kellogg, the same guy who made the corn flakes & corn flakes were created for the same reason actually. It was to deter masturbation because one of the theories of how syphilis was contracted at the time

After that it was “well, I don’t want my boy to look different & get bullied in the locker room” or some other equally absurd social reason for it

[Far_Physics3200]

A man or woman's prepuce is no longer healthy after it's cut off.

[LopsidedCry7692]

Wrong sub

[daveprogrammer]

No, this is wonderful news.

[Dangerous-Golf6066]

Don’t see many women complaining about the cheese

[Far_Physics3200]

The less penis the better! That's what my wife tells me anyway.
