There's a joke to be made about this but I feel like I'd overstep some boundaries rule
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
aka non consented circumcision is a human rights violations rule
thats not the reason people do circumcision. most people do it for religious purposes. to argue that it is a human rights violation is to argue that people are not allowed to have a religion. religions such as Judaism circumcise because to show that they made a covenant with god. it is a huge important part of Judaism. you cant take away peoples religious beliefs if they arent being enforced on people who arent in that belief.
Are you aware the majority of Americans are not jewish but were subjected to genital mutilation after birth? It is not a religious thing here primarily, it's a practice that was started by a prude named Kellog to explicitly make it more difficult to masturbate and because it is "cleaner," which is a dubious claim at best.
yeah outside religion I don't know why Kellogg did that. im talking about the type used for religious purposes.
"outside of the reason he did it i have no idea why he did it"
