    To the ~33% people who have downvoted this: you’re literally arguing against a person’s right not to have their body receive unnecessary surgical manipulations until they’re old enough to actually consent to it. Babies are not their parents’ property. Let people decide when they’re adults.

      Unfortunately a lot of Americans believe children are the property of their parents. We need a children’s bill of rights.

        The UN already has that, the convention on the rights of a child. Every UN country except the United States has signed.

      Yah this should be true for any action except stuff like important medical surgery due to complications and surgery for facial defects BUT IRREVERSIBLE FORESKIN REMOVAL WITHOUGHT MEDICAL REASONS IS MORALLY WRONG

      Do you think that anyone born with a cleft palate, cleft lip, hemangiomas, craniosynostosis, facial palsy, or any corrective jaw surgeries should be told to wait until 18 when all of these procedures are far less effective and far more difficult to do?

        Being born with a foreskin isn’t a damn defect!

        None of those are comparable to genital mutilation based on physical appearance. All those other things directly impact a person’s quality of life.

        Fair enough, there are quite a bunch of other cases where it might be justified to accept an imperfect form of consent. Still, it might be argued that some of those are necessary surgeries.

        The key words there are unnecessary surgical interventions. Yeah, if your child’s appendix bursts you can have it removed. Having a foreskin is not a medical problem.

        Referencing the fact that the vast majority of AMAB Jewish babies get circumcised is racist?

            People who later on identify as trans women are circumcised without consent when they’re babies. Leave the far right bullshit outside.

          For a community that claims to hate religion, atheists sure do carry a lot of water for Judaism, and Islam to a lesser extent.

          Seems that Christianity is the only acceptable religion to bash.

            That’s a problem felt throughout society because of the reaction we were taught to give in relation to Islam and Judaism and because of a power dynamic.

            You’re a Nazi antisemitic dickhole if you criticize Judaism in the US and you’re a xenophobic islamaphobe if you criticize Islam in the US, but because Christianity has enjoyed the position of power it has in the US it’s ok to “punch up” as it were.

            I hate them all equally, but just hope people separate the people practicing the religion from the religion itself. I hate organized religion, not religious people of any religion.

              I’d quibble with you here that there actually are an alarming number of antisemitic nazis and xenophobic islamophobes in the US, primarily among Christians. Criticisms of all heinous religious practices will quickly devolve into bigots chiming in to complain about their personal ignorance. There is so much overlap between various religious beliefs and practices that practically any criticism of faith is valid against just about all religions. So most of the time, if you are singling out one particular sect or ethnicity, it’s because of prejudice against those people.

              Targeting Christianity ensures that you’re not singling out one particular ethnicity or nationality, and it’s far less likely to attract bigoted sympathies.

            Idk why maybe cause the us is more popular on the internet and Christianity is the most popular religion there? When I used rrddit and had traveled to India there was this united states of India subreddit and many people were complaining about stuff like forced ear piercing in females due to religion and stuff.

            Anyone promoting chopping off a piece of a baby’s body and literally sucking the piece off with their mouth should be taking some flak. I mean, think about that idea for a minute. What the fuck?!

            Ok, suggest a form of parodying a circumcision in a meme that isn’t racist, according to you.

        Unless you got yours done by a rabbi using his teeth, your opinion doesn’t matter on this topic.

        And I’m sorry, but a parent’s religion shouldn’t be more important than the child’s right to choose if they have their whole dick.

        How is it racist to protest against genital mutilation?
