Absolutely. There are some truly weird attitudes that are deeply unscientific about this stuff. Even my wife didn't understand it when we first discussed it. We don't have any sons, but even if we did I wouldn't have had them circumcised unless they had a medical issue that required it. And yes that is true even though I am circumcised. No, I don't care about making any dicks look like mine. That's fucking weird.

It is completely unnecessary because I live in a place with readily available contraception, low rates of STIs, and other factors.

Am I mad that I was circumcised? No. Am I proud? No. It just is. I don't understand attitudes about it. Everything is a small trade-off in life. I appreciate the plusses that I gained from it, and don't really know or care about the minuses because they were never a part of my life.

I have had compliments on it explicitly because I was circumcised and women expressed relief about it. I've also been told it looks nicer just hanging there. One lady I used to date would complain about her ex incessantly because he wasn't exactly the cleanest dude, and when combined with his lack of circumcision, he was kind of gross and you can use your imagination as to what that entailed.

On the other side, my best friend in high school had his circumcision fucked up and every time he got an erection, it hurt because it was done incorrectly and caused one side to "pull" wrong.

I've also had a septoplasty later in life so I could breathe better. This argument that you see above would be like going online and telling people that there is a medical use for it, but they come back and start screaming at you in freaked out panicked tones and assume you're meaning it's for everyone. It isn't, but to deny that there is a medical use is actively wrong and harmful.

Shit you really don't know how evolution works do you

That study is from 2022. Some of the ones linked on Wikipedia are the same age, very slightly older, or even newer. These aren't studies from the '70s using outdated methodologies or something. It doesn't nullify the science. They're both seemingly saying somewhat opposite things but that doesn't mean that one is outwardly completely wrong, it means at best the science is still out and at worst it depends on specifics of the situation.

And yeah, it would be great if they would provide full health care for everyone, but for people in war torn parts of Africa it's not really an option because the governments aren't stable or don't care. I also wish proper contraception was available everywhere for free, but it isn't. And even if it were, you can't tell me that you believe that every person would use it 100% of the time.

So again, every time I see this it's simply people who don't like circumcision getting mad that there may, in fact, be a functional use for it somewhere and it's not just people trying to get their kids dick to look like their dick. That's such a weird and disturbing dodge.
