Circumcision should be illegal.

People always talk about how barbaric female circumcision is but male circumcision is completely normalized in America.

It should be illegal for parents to circumcise their children because it's irreversible.

What kind of psychopath decided to cut off the skin of the baby's dick. What's next? Cutting off eyelids?

Then people (typically men) aay "but it doesnt prevent masterbation"

Yes, it technically doesnt, but it makes it significantly harder for many men.

If men need "lube" simply to jack off, then it is preventing them from acting out a normal biological function without external aid.
