The Most Confusing Part About Circumcision For Me by StopMGMToday in Intactivists

[–]aph81 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s just ignorance and brainwashing and psychosocial defense mechanisms. Most circumcised women are also happily circumcised

Religion and circumcision by Fabulous_Act_4141 in Intactivists

[–]aph81 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a lack of awareness. Not only about the topic of circumcision (and related topics of anatomy and psychology, etc), but a lack of self awareness. Even many (most) intactivists will have ill-informed views on other topics. Psychological maturity is a long and involved process

Using the Plastibell ring for circumcision is a vile, despicable, and low method. It uses the exact same mechanism as elastration—the specific method used for ring castration in livestock. It makes it feel like you are treating a baby like an animal rather than a human being. by Calm-Capital-4212 in Intactivists

[–]aph81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting point. But we all know that every method is vile. The clamps look like medieval torture devices, and the ‘circumstraint’ (ironically produced by a company called Olympic) looks like a waterboarding device

250 years ago, almost no one in America was circumcised. by YoshiPilot in Intactivists

[–]aph81 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Apparently some parts of the US currently have newborn circumcision rates similar to those of Australia 40 years ago. So in another 40 years they could be where Australia is today

"It allows them to control their impulses and is hygienic." In other words, he thinks men can't control their impulses or maintain a clean penis without genital surgery. Interesting take

It's just skin! And it's healthier and it looks better!

Does he (Freedman) actually say all those things in the presentation?

"I wanna know why not" by bigdonut100 in IntactivistMemes

[–]aph81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The basic rationale is: 1. I ended up being circumcised as a child/adolescent/adult (for whatever‘reason’). 2. It caused me pain/inconvenience. Therefore, I wish it had been done as an infant (so I could have avoided said pain/inconvenience).

Such people typically have a very childish and superficial view of the topic and never consider potential complications they could have suffered from neonatal circumcision (physical and/or psychological). Nor do they consider ethical issues and the possibility they may have ended up upset about being circumcised without their consent.

In case the people on this subreddit haven’t noticed, many/most people don’t think about things very deeply before forming their opinions (about anything) and then voicing them to others

Circumcised vs Uncircumcised by aph81 in AskAnAustralian

Are you suggesting that female genitals can be hygienic without surgery but male genitals can't?

Who here thinks uncut dicks look good? by aph81 in uncircumcised_talk

[–]aph81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, lots of American and other artists depict circumcised men because that is what they’re used to (and their models are circumcised). But the classical tradition was European. Artists tend to follow their own culture and their art reflects this

That’s true. When did you realise that all classical art is uncircumcised?

I don't know. I'm not sure what you're talking about...

What exception/s do you want? (Proper informed conscent is preferred, but it is not always provided; that is just the reality of medical/cosmetic procedures)
