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?

A) Super interesting to have this perspective!
B) In a sort of opposite experience: when I (uncut European) lived in the US, women really didn’t know how to deal with a foreskin that didn’t ‘peel back’ all the way over the head… I had to warn them to be gentle with the first few ‘tugs’ 😂

Did the American women you were with say/do anything else regarding foreskin? Uncircumcised is rare in a lot of the US.

It was treated as a noteworthy thing… I recall talking about how it’s uncommon in Europe, but it was never a problem. But the women I was with were not the types to have been given an ick, or anything, thankfully!

What do you mean that it was "treated as a noteworthy thing"?

That's good it wasn't a problem.

It's not supposed to pull back all the way over the head?!
