    Circumcision isn’t mutilation. That’s a fact. Infant circumcision to appease a sky fairy or to fit in with your neighbours? Yeah that’s mutilation.

      That’s a fact.

      No it isn’t. A lot of people are victims of disinformation and “willingly” agree to a circumcision later in life as an easy solution to something like phimosis only to discover how much harm it does.

        That’s a fun way to describe a last resort when all else has failed… the “easy” way.

          I should’ve also put “easy” in quotes to make my point clearer, but I was in a rush. But yeah, that’s how the “experts” present it.

                  There are plenty, but the article does appear to have been modified heavily since I last checked it. Kellogg advocated for circumcision because he knew that it was mutilation.

                    Ctrl + f “circumcision”

                    Regardless, some nut’s opinion hardly says much. He also made Corn Flakes to make people stop masturbating.

                    EDIT: Looks like he may have been behind the circumcision of children in the US, though that is disputed. It seems the nut mostly saw it as a way to stop masturbation.

                    So, still irrelevant to what I’ve said.
