    Its crazy to me that the ONLY serious reason anyone gives for why they get babies circumcised is

    “I don’t wanna tell my child how to clean their penis”

    What a fucking shame. The child rearing fans really wanna make a whole child and then pay a doctor to mutilate them instead of acknowledge they have genitals!

      I’d assume it’s more like they don’t want to have to explain to their kid why their penis doesn’t look at all like Daddy’s. Not that it’s a much better reason, though. Curious how many non-circumcised fathers opt for their kids to be circumcised.

        No if you ask almost every time they will site “hygiene issues”

        Or they will say “women prefer it” or something insane.

        And that’s assuming they don’t cite religion which is crazy in the US because Christianity does not in any way require it at its core.

          Foreskins increase girth when rolled back.

          it’s a holdover from when Jews required all Christians (heretics) have their genitalia mutilated for identification purposes.

          Hey look… Israel hold’s America’s leash in the same way that a dog owner holds the leash of a bitch in heat…

          And hey look… Israel loves mutilating genitalia. it’s their 3rd favorite pastime right behind raping children (#1) and butchering Palestinians (#2).

            That’s insane fiction lmao where did you hear this? Jews have always been a minority so the idea that they’re making all the rules is out to lunch haha.

            Jews circumsize as an homage to a story in the Bible. It’s supposed to represent a covenant with God.

            Judaism doesn’t view other religions as inferior or wrong. Just different. This is actually a neo-nazi trope used by the American KKK and other ideologically tangential groups to get more people to be sus about Jews.

            The reason North Americans largely circumsize (or used to ) is due to evangelical control and fear of masturbation. It was believed that removing foreskin would limit masturbation (it doesn’t). Go look into Kellog and circumcision.

            You’re conflating Israel’s war crimes with Judaism and spouting Nazi-ajacent rhetoric whether your aware of it or not.

          For a serious answer: Once my son is old enough to start washing himself I’ll need to show him how to shower. Easiest way to do that, as my dad did with me and his likely did with him, is to shower together. You don’t just drop them in and wish them well, proper hygiene is taught.
