Laughs in non-Abrahamic Asian.

Christians don't cut off foreskins outside of the US!

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Yes but Muslims and Jews do. That's why I said non-Abrahamic.

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

South Korea does it I think, some Australians too iirc

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 59 points 1 month ago

What is it with yanks and cutting up babies dicks?

[-] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

Religious cult nonsense is the typical reason.

[-] philycheeze@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 month ago

And then it got so popular they decided it would be weird to stop 🙄

[-] jali67@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago

It’s cool to be stupid and promote anti intellectualism in the US

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 month ago

Look up "John Harvey Kellogg circumcision". A lot of the US obsession with cutting up baby penisses is because of him and his obsession with preventing boys from masturbating.

[-] jali67@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

And unfortunately, many Americans don’t ever think or question anything. It just remained this way.

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Wasn't that why he invented corn flakes too?

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

That dude was a freak

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

It didn't work.

[-] okr765@lemmy.okr765.com 2 points 1 month ago

On Wikipedia, his supposed instigation and popularization of circumcision is listed as a common misconception. It still looks like he supported the practice at some point though

And you have to pay to have it removed!

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

At this point it's mostly just to match the dad.

[-] Darukhnarn@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago

I think it used to be about preventing masturbation?

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Lol you'd think they would have figured out pretty quick that it didn't work

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Neonatal genital herpes isn't going to spread itself.

[-] oeuf@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 month ago

Extremely disturbing. I'm shocked this is legal.

Is there like an evil version of TIL? Because I just went to the Wikipedia article about this practice and I wish I hadn't done that.

[-] rapchee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

TIWCTL, or today i was cursed to learn

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Why are you so antisemitic?

[-] yeather@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Also intersex kids. Obviously their bodies aren't sacred. Only binary cis people.

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

I thought only medically necessary surgeries are done?

[-] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

Medically necessary to the doctor or parents' idea of binary gender. Yes.

I suspect circumcision is a devious, elaborate conspiracy by the lotion industry.

I've heard an american nurse's perspective who's had to clean uncircumsized children. What I gather is thar americans are so generally unhygenic and neglectful that it's extremely common for parents to bring in children for cleaning when things go wrong. She thinks circumscion is a medically sound option.

The american government thinks circumcision is a cost effective preventive measure, which makes sense if you've seen the price of healthcare. The rest of the world generally agrees that this practice isn't super effective, and it's primarily fueled by judaism and islam or aesthetic.

I'll spare the horror stories and scary diagrams for my fellow man. I'm against circumcision. Have you seen what it looks lile after surgery and how much pain the baby is in? The diaper hurts them.

We don't complain about having to clean baby girls. Not to mention the risk for irreversable damage that can reduce pleasure or be painful for life.

I think consenting individuals should participate in the anatomy of their body and not have that choice taken away by religious/lazy parents.

[-] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The idea that baby boys are hard to clean and the healthcare excuse are both propaganda created by Christian fundamentalist groups.

It's not necessary in any way and is even considered unethical in many parts of the world.
