I know why my parents had me cut. It was because my father had been cut, and that's just what was done at the time. It's not a good enough reason for me, and if I had had sons I would not have allowed them to be cut in turn. My children are not my property.
Not a problem
Never wished I was uncut, don’t really mind either way. I’m not having kids so I won’t have to make the decision, but I’d likely have them cut too.
I'm delighted that it was handled when I was too young to remember. Who wants to fix it in adulthood? Not me.
So glad I don't look like an anteater now. They did me a solid.
Wanting to be uncircumcised is like declaring your pleasure is more important than your partner's pleasure. It's saying you want sex to feel so good that you can't last long enough to satisfy your partner. Anyone who bashes the practice of circumcision is misogynistic.
It's amazing that FGM is outlawed in much of the first world (plus America), but not MGM.
All guys want is equality. Yet ne'er a feminist around when men are the unrepresented victims.
Men shouldn't count on feminists to liberate them. Men must liberate themselves without resorting to misogyny.
I don't know many, possibly any feminists who are pro-circumcison
That's not what I suggested.
I know quite a few who have no support for boys having the same rights that girls enjoy. If they did the law would have been written with males and females considered equal. There's is no downside for girls asking for equality for boys.
Isn't that what feminism is all about? Equality?
I think you're confused. Feminism IS about equality. Where do women want less rights for men??
No. Egalitarianism is about egalitarianism. Feminism is about female domination. The clue is in the name. You're that dumb.
There are no rights that men have that women don't. However
Laws rightly protect against FGM, nothing protects against MGM. The child might have to have his penis removed, mangled to such an extent that it causes significant daily pain and all kinds of suffering, foreskin removal means loss of sensation. All totally legal.
Children don't have the right to a relationship their fathers. 90% of divorces allocate children to the mother. I was a victim of that decision by diagnosed physically and mentally abusive narcissist. Women are the number one cause of child death or abuse. Number two is mum's new bf. Dad's are number four or five; they (ONS here in the UK) stopped publishing the numbers/ranking when certain groups objected to facts.
It is significant that the marital assets and income generally follow the person who obtains control of the children. The allocation isn't about the best person to care for the children, it's about the assets and income.
About a fifth of the children who go through DNA in the child maintenance payments procedures are found to have the incorrect person listed on their birth certificate. The rest of men having their assets, income and liberty at risk don't know. UK Government FoI fact. Having a DNA test to establish paternity in France is not even legal.
"Under child support legislation it is a criminal offence to make a false statement or representation, and to provide false documents or information.
However, according to the CSA, there has not been a single prosecution of a woman for making a false claim. The figures showing the number of false paternity claims have been compiled using freedom of information legislation."
The incidence of criminal convictions in the case of two parent households is the same as those of single parent male households. Single parent female households have much higher conviction rates for their children.
Male suicide is many times that of women but always men are never involved in the TV coverage. It's always some women using the boy's death for their publicity and victimhood. I know exactly what that's like to watch, and know that the women involved are never going to try to help deal with the issues before or after.
Knowingly false allegations by women are standard procedure for a disagreement with boys or men. I'm not talking about mistaken identity or an accident. Everyone of age knows a someone who has had this used on a man as a threat to extract what they want or other leverage. The numbers of male teachers in schools has nose dived.
Here in the UK, legal aid except for domestic violence, cases was curtailed in 2010 (?), the following quarter as published by the government body CAFCASS, the number of restraining order applications increased by something like seven times if I recall. Coincidence? Seven times more men committed acts of domestic violence on a woman immediately after domestic violence was a requirement. We regularly hear on the media that another man has been released from prison after serving lengthy time fully exonerated for the rape crime he was sentenced, others are not so lucky.
As a result, the rape convictions for real female victims keep falling. It is well known that gay men and men in prison do not report rape. Ever.
Domestic violence incidents in lesbian households by far outweigh those in any other household including gay, straight, etc. The woman who set up the world's first domestic violence shelter now actively campaigns for domestic violence shelters for men and children and disowns the feminists who refused to accept that men can be victims and took over her cause for equality. Her name is Erin Pussey. Google her.
There is continuous series of sexual abuse by female teachers of students in loco parentis (literally in place of the parent). Otherwise known as paedophilia. The media cannot use the word rape, even though that's what it is, because the female teacher doesn't have a penis. The relevant statute demands that penetration by the penis is the only definition constituting rape.
The invincibility of women that they feel for their outlandish views/actions has given rise to the concept of the Karen. There doesn't appear to be a sustained male equivalent.
I can go on but you've already stopped reading.
Ohhh, you're a nutter, sorry, didn't realise. I was talking to you as if you were a person that lived in reality. I'll leave you to your delusions.
The sources are either the government, agencies of the government, or left leaning newspapers of record.
If you think they're nutters, you need a check up from the neck up.
