Washing cleans genitalia, not surgery.
"bent out of shape over something you can't even remember"
I'm pretty sure he probably remembers he's been circumcised whenever he goes to the bathroom, takes a shower, changes his underwear...
If a person is drugged or blackout drunk is it ok to rape them if they don't remember?
Is it ok for a parent to put tattoos on their child if they get it done while the baby is young enough not to remember?
Someone can come to terms with a situation and still be allowed to be angry about it.
Uh, speaking as an European, your comment is completely ridiculous. It's genital mutilation as it's done without consent, as simple as that.
It should never be acceptable.
Or you could just wash it. Like normal people.
Do you also support scalping for wanting a clean head?
Yeah, what did humans do before weird crazy religious folks in the desert decided we need to cut (or even bite, 🤮) the foreskin off of a new born child? How did we survive??
This is why I don't fuck Americans. They honestly think their unwashed mutilated dicks are clean. Circumcised dicks are fine if that's what you got, but you still have to clean them just like any other dick.
Do people really just not clean their dicks? What the fuck?
Do you believe this to be an American stereotype?
I mean, I've met Americans that don't clean their dicks, so it's not wrong, but it's not really the norm. Sure, most people clean their dick, but if you honestly think cutting your dick up makes it cleaner, then I'm going to assume you just don't get near it with soap and water because any dick can be cleaned with soap and water.
Yeah I'm sorry this just makes no sense.
First of all, the overwhelming number of circumcisions occur long before a person is capable of consenting to such a procedure. So I don't think people are walking around thinking, "hey, if I cut up my dick, I won't have to clean it anymore!"
This shit happened when I was born, I had zero choice in it. It's absurd to make assumptions like that as if it's a personal choice.
Second, the assumption doesn't even make sense. Nobody has ever said or implied that circumcision is an alternative to washing your dick. That's insane. What are your even fucking talking about??
Sounds like maybe you had one or two bad experiences with some gross, unhygienic losers, and are assuming everyone is the same. You're dead wrong.
Listen, my highly-offended dude, the comment I am replying to said "but don't shame others for wanting a clean dick."
If you think that means something other than "mutilated dick = clean dick", then maybe we're not even speaking the same language, and you're gonna have an aneurysm trying to defend ol' dirty dick upthread.
Huh?
This all read to me as if you're the highly offended one and you're projecting your own shit.
You made good arguments to the comment you replied to, but as the person above you pointed out, the arguments you are making don't make any sense. You picked up the rope.
You're a boring troll.
Slinging facts you can't handle, kid. Grow up.
Is your username supposed to be misosophist?
no. I'd interpret "misosophist" as somebody who HATES wisdom/teaching/thought. I'm just playing at being a sophist who is probably more often wrong than right (including possibly with the dubious etymology of my own handle). I really didn't put much thought into it when signing up for lemmy, though.
Do I remember it? No, but I was born very premature and required surgery, so was not circumcised at birth. Why my father told me this story over breakfast when I was like 10, and why he thought how I screamed and cried when I finally, as he put it, "Got my pencil sharpened" was funny, I'll never know. Do I need therapy over it? No. Is it something I wish hadn't happened? Yes.
Fucking hell 🤮 I can smell you from over the Internet
