Wait til you hear about intersex babies.

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Also intersex kids. Obviously their bodies aren't sacred. Only binary cis people.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I thought only medically necessary surgeries are done?

Medically necessary to the doctor or parents' idea of binary gender. Yes.

Not the pencil sharpening

What is it with yanks and cutting up babies dicks?

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

more carry overs from judaism; so much of the bible carries over

[–] Darukhnarn@feddit.org 3 points 5 hours ago

I think it used to be about preventing masturbation?

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

Look up "John Harvey Kellogg circumcision". A lot of the US obsession with cutting up baby penisses is because of him and his obsession with preventing boys from masturbating.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Wasn't that why he invented corn flakes too?

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 hours ago

It didn't work.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 2 points 6 hours ago

The Kellogg in Fallout 4 is his descendant

And unfortunately, many Americans don’t ever think or question anything. It just remained this way.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

At this point it's mostly just to match the dad.

And you have to pay to have it removed!

Religious cult nonsense is the typical reason.

[–] philycheeze@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

And then it got so popular they decided it would be weird to stop 🙄

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 hours ago

It’s cool to be stupid and promote anti intellectualism in the US

Christian radicals I think.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I suspect circumcision is a devious, elaborate conspiracy by the lotion industry.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Dude, grow up and use lube like an adult instead of hurting yourself.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I don't have to use anything cause I live in a civilized place where parents don't mutilate their children.

Laughs in non-Abrahamic Asian.

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Christians don't cut off foreskins outside of the US!

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Yes but Muslims and Jews do. That's why I said non-Abrahamic.

Wait until you learn about Oral Suction Circumcisions

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Why are you so antisemitic?

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 hours ago

Oy vey calling out pedophiles is antiseptic.

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

Oral what now?

[–] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 11 points 16 hours ago

Neonatal genital herpes isn't going to spread itself.

[–] oeuf@slrpnk.net 8 points 18 hours ago

Is there like an evil version of TIL? Because I just went to the Wikipedia article about this practice and I wish I hadn't done that.
