We have calls for it to be banned, and attacks on it as religious nonsense. etc, in the end, it should not be banned, simply because as an issue I would view it as small scale, while before banning anything that can generate such emotions I'd want it to be a life and death situation.
I just cannot understand this viewpoint. Why is it that so many people think it's such a "small" issue just because it doesn't COMPLETELY fuck up your ability to have sex? So you are left with SOME sensitivity, be happy with that. Why get worked up about someone reducing it to less optimal potential?
I also don't understand how any issue can be judged as not being worthy enough to ban based on someone's opinion on it being "too minor", regardless of it being completely unethical and indefensible.
In banning Circumsicion you would have to include legislation taking into account religious exceptions
And why would you have to do that? They don't take into account religious exceptions when it's FEMALE genital mutilation in the "modern" world countries.
The reason is because they have all agreed unequivocably that it is a violation of the human body and a human rights issue that should be addressed by banning. The ONLY difference here is the male circumcision is still not looked on as seriously because it ISN'T as damaging. But so what? It's still wrong under the same damn principle. It's mutilation with no good goddamn reason unless medically warranted.
FUCK the religious butchers. If you want to wait until you are older and do it yourself, then fine. Butcher your dick and be sorry for the rest of your life with something less than your birthright. But there is no fucking way anyone should be arbitrarily making that decision for you, ESPECIALLY when it's a religious reason.
Or you could out right ban it barring Medical reasons, and be discrimanating against a section of soceity.
And you would consider "discrimination" to be more important than protection of children's bodily integrity? And their right to choose?
My God, I know we're all entitled to our opinions, but when I see people just not getting the concept of this being completely WRONG to force on another human being, I worry.
You have to realize that most Christian "moral values" behaviour is not really about "protecting" anyone; it's about their desire to send a continual stream of messages of condemnation towards people whose existence offends them. - Darth Wong alias Mike Wong
