Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules

  Discussing it isn’t an obsession, an obsession would be making your whole personality about it, or basically having that be a primary hobby or something.

  You are doing a less extreme version of the thing that politcal news pundits do against protests:

  Protesting as a concept is fine, but it turns out any protest with views I disagree with? Well they’re protesting wrong.

  If you are reading this as an obsession, I dunno what to tell you, check my comment history and you’ll see this is the first thread I’ve ever mentioned it in, and my older, nearly year old account? Don’t think I ever mentioned it.

  Finally: Yes, female genital mutilation is very often much, much worse, in that it usually entails total removal of the clitoris, which is… basically fundamental to the ability of a woman to experience pleasure and orgasm.

  But that doesn’t mean male genital mutilation is not also bad. The male hood also generally has a much higher concentration of nerve endings than… basically everywhere other than the head.

  And both of these practices fundamentally remove bodily autonomy from a baby/child, and are culturally/religiously done for reasons that ultimately or directly arise from a very paternalistic and authoritarian approach to children as property of parents, and intending to diminish and control their sexual characteristics without consent.

  … But if you don’t wanna have this discussion, feel free to block me, or just… not discuss… this…?

    I will block you because this is tedious, but know that I will always discuss this and never let it go uncommented on because it’s unhinged. While you supposedly don’t make this your entire personality there were those on Reddit who definitely did, and you smell just like them. I will never stop speaking out that this whole thing is a bullshit non issue.

      I dunno, sounds like the one who’s made it their whole personality might not be spectral here.

      Glad you left your reddit trauma at the door to lemmy and certainly aren’t making any personal judgements based entirely on vibes rofl.

      I will never stop speaking out that this whole thing is a bullshit non issue.

      Not obsessive in any way at all, nope, that’s me apparently.

      Hahahahaha

      Why would you come to a thread about circumcision, read the comments about circumcision, and leave a comment about being fed up of circumcision discussions if you were tired of talking about circumcision? If anyone’s “unhinged” here it’s the guy who doesn’t just move on to the next thread.

        Nope, see something say something. I do the same thing with racism or fascism. I call it out.

        I’m not fed up of circumcision discussions, I’m fed up with people who feel like they’ve been wronged as a result of the procedure. I’d never heard of such a thing before finding Reddit.

        I never said I was tired of the conversation. I’m tired of people like the ones I left on Reddit who always bring up circumcision and want to act like they’ve been horribly victimized because their parents followed a medical doctor’s advice.

        It’s pathetic. Some of them even mention suing their parents. This seems like a mental disorder. I don’t like it and if I see it, I will say something about it. If you don’t like that, perhaps you should block me instead of writing a reply I’d never have looked at if only Lenny gave me that option.
