I honestly have no idea where you're going with this. You're comparing carving the skin off a baby's penis for basically no reason, to trimming their hair? Vaccines, back braces, and dental work are not purely cosmetic or cultural. And I have no idea what Elon Musk has to do with it, or where resentment comes into the conversation.

It's entirely possible for most rational people to recognize that a practice was not a great idea, and change moving forward without resentment.

I don't know if this is a strawman, or you're trying to make your case against someone else.

What a terrible excuse to be against bodily autonomy

giving a medically unnecessary ear piercing to a 1 year does sound like something that is potentially child abuse, yes

Weird fucking takes, dude... Maybe you're projecting or something?

You do know that we're talking about mutilating the genitals of infants, right? Just wanted to make sure you knew where you were.

If you have a good reason to continue doing it, I'm sure everyone here would love to hear it.

Brother, as someone who actively wants a circumsision, knock this off lmao

If I snip off the Snuffaluffagus trunk that I've got a foreskin, that shit isn't growing back because it's causing damage.

Ear piercings grow over. Back braces fix damage. Dental braces fix damage. Hair grows back. Vaccines prevent damage.

Fuck off or come up with a significantly better argument so this dismissal isn't so trivial.
