Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

    I’m Finnish. We do less circumcisions than you guys, and our laws are arguably tighter.

    I’m just amazed that someone would not be aware of the controversy. Have you never watched American TV? Just… how is someone unaware of this?

    I’m not mad, I’m astonished.

    It’s like pretending that you’re not aware of how big of s thing racism is in the US, that you’re unaware that there’s controversy about white cops shooting black people with poor excuses. Like “I’ve never heard of this ‘black lives matter’, thing, surely 'all lives matter’, eh?”

    I get that some people won’t be exposed to everything, yeah, but we’re on Lemmy, not the opening page of Microsoft Edge, so one assumes a little bit of knowledge of the world.

    My bad.

    Won’t happen again.

      Actually, I don’t watch American TV. If you could show me the “no circumcision” Riots or the big civil rights court case about the Cop who circumcised this Guy he should, and I would never forget again :D Damn now I want a large Demo where People hold up dicks with foreskin and yell stuff like, “Circumcision, what a snip! Let’s keep our foreskin, let it rip!”

      EDIT: The “let it rip”-Part sound terrible painful maybe I need to change that

        “I don’t watch American TV”

        Neither do I.

        I also don’t live in a cellar without the internet. I thought you didn’t either, since you’re on Lemmy.

        My mistake.
