You seem to have very strong opinions against this. I'm curious if you were circumcised if you would feel the same way. The only reasons people are giving against circumcision is based on religious or ethical reasons. When I was a kid, I remember overhearing a kid getting made fun of because he said he wasn't circumcised. I was younger and didn't know exactly what it was, so I wasn't sure if I was even circumcised or not. I was relieved when I found out later that day that I was, and I think many kids would be self-concious of their penis if they weren't circumcised. |
a few things to clear things up:
1 - Not a man, so can't be circumcised regardless. (And female circumcision is NEVER practiced here in Canada)
2 - My opinions on circumcision are based solely within logic and therefore are not rooted in religion at all. You should never mutilate someone based on religion because there's no logic in that, and the arguments about cleanliness are completely unfounded. It doesn't take much effort at all to clean yourself if you're not disgusting (which you should want to do regardless); the only arguments PRO circumcision tend to be religious or culturally based. IT's a sort of chain of causality stance; I don't hate circumcision because it's oftentimes a religious thing, I hate religion because they push irrational, foolish behaviour like this that has no ground in reality and are only later justified with claims of cleanliness so they don't sound like complete psychos by pushing infant genital mutilation for God.
3 - Kids will literally tease kids for anything. Weight, class, glasses, color of skin, size, gender, it doesn't matter. Saying 'kids will tease me because my peepee is different' is an even less logical argument than one coming from religion. First of all, as I said, kids tease for everything and I'm reasonably certain penis-formation is pretty low on the list, and second of all, why the fuck would you insist kids share dick pics or whip it out to show? It's a nonissue.
