There is a strong pressure to censor this.

If kids remember, we could not do surgeries without anastesia on new borns, and could not marinate open wound in filthy diapers!

Surgery on infants without anasthesia is not something done any longer in any country that particularly cares about the health of its citizens.

Yeah I'm not sure you should do surgeries without anaesthesia on newborns either way.

It was standard procedure to do invasive surgeries on newborns without anesthesia until the 1980s, on the theory that they can’t feel pain. https://hms.harvard.edu/news/long-life-early-pain

Why are all the MRA activists so fucking weird about circumcision.

Folks like you drag it into the most unrelated conversations in the weirdest way.

I used to mod a trauma based subreddit and there was one dude who would _not_ drop it. Dudes name was something with MGM in it while he actively denied that FGM was a thing and that women are subject to sexual harassment.

Maybe the general public would give a shit if the MRA took feminists seriously at all, instead of shouting down the issues women face at the hands of the patriarchy that set up the circumcision practice in the first place.

Thing is most people generally fucking agree with you but you come off so fucking weird and you dismiss people who are actually struggling more than men are and like yeah “boo-hoo they cut our dicks” but COME ON, man.

This had NOTHING to do with that.

You drew a tangent line on this convo’s circle, another circle on that tangent line and then a different tangent line on the second circle at a different fucking angle to get to that topic from this one.

Get a body piercing anywhere you want, nobody is banning that for adults! Problem is consent (I am big fan of that btw!)

Nobody consented to this conversation about very early memories being made about male genital mutilation.

An MRA failing to understand consent when they have an opportunity to make something about MGM in spite of being a “big fan”? what a shocker.
