My brain right after waking up: circumcision on babies can't be consensual.
Therefore: What logic still allows it to happen?

@MichalBryxi Babies can’t consent to anything.

@MichalBryxi The idea that children are the property of their parents.

@MichalBryxi I asked the same question to my friends before they became parents of AMAB children. Those I could not convince said:

“It has health benefits. I’m the parent and decide what’s best for them, just like vaccinating them.”

“Tradition!” from Jewish friends unwilling to stand up to their family and community

“Women have told me they prefer it” and “I was cut and am fine” from US straight men

“I’ve sucked too many intact guys who didn’t wash well” from US gay fathers via surrogacy

@Jeremiah
- Nonsense
- Bullshit
- Suuuure
- Oh god...

@MichalBryxi @Jeremiah Are you willing to tell other people that their tradition/culture/religion is bullshit? White person detected.

@alsorew @Jeremiah (Looks around carefully): Or animals for that matter.

@MichalBryxi @Jeremiah Still not your lane. Want to help? Boost someone from that group. Or do you think that all Jews, Muslims, etc. have a universal opinion on the matter?

@alsorew @Jeremiah No. I don't think I ever implied that.
Also I don't think that not being from the in-group forbids me to have na opinion on the matter?

@MichalBryxi @Jeremiah I would rather try to swim across La Manche, because I know it is possible, than try to explain to a white person that something is not for them. Not for them to take, not for them to talk about, not for them, period. So please, educate yourself.

@MichalBryxi @Jeremiah Sorry for being harsh. While I think discussions like this are important, I’m still not good at getting the information across. Communication is hard.

@alsorew @Jeremiah Re Boosting: I am. But that's orthogonal to the discussion.

@Jeremiah @MichalBryxi yeah that last one is wild.

So you would mutilate your child because you had bad experiences with non-mutilated people before? Even using the "intact" descriptor, acknowledging the destructive nature of the surgery?

Men will sexually cripple a new generation before actually talking with their partners, or therapists.

@felixf @Jeremiah My first thought. Also ... was that actually some phallic reference? 😶 Totally missed that if yes.
