Mfw Americans defend circumcision

Yeah I tried confronting my parents about it but they just got all defensive and repeated the extra skin/hygiene crap. Were Catholic and I still got circumcised, JUST

There's a small minority of anti circumcision here but they're kind of silenced.
And there's some religious Jewish cult that stays away from vaccination and electronics but doesn't circumcise too.
Those are the only groups I know of..
Not really... It wasn't even a Jewish practice in origin and it was less strict for quite a while where you didn't have to cut much of the skin or any at all even..
If someone removed the "extra skin bit" from the ears of infants there would be outrage lol

the cognitive dissonance circumcision brings is unbelievable

Just show them what St. Paul had to say about circumcision. Deemed it completely unnecessary to convert to christianity (at least for gentiles). It was a very important factor that drove many gentiles away from officially converting to the religion although they were okay with christians for the most part, and is partly the reason why catholicism doesn't heavily encourages circumcision (nor oppose it).

Ah and I forgot to to say most aren't even religious so those people do it for the same reasons as many Americans which is "hygiene/extra skin/everyone else is like that!" because Jews who moved abroad or didn't come to Israel and stayed in Europe usually don't do it.

I committed a google and holy shit,

Technically the earlobe can be removed without too much damage long term.

>Amish who do not practice circumcision have a low rate of autism.
>Somali immigrants in Sweden practice circumcision and have a high rate of autism compared to Swedish children.
>Autism rates in the U.S. are higher among groups with higher circumcision rates (e.g., whites compared to blacks, blacks compared to Hispanics).

Wouldn't really convince them. Were secular and mom isn't even Catholic anymore. They did it because that's what everyone did, and my Dad was too so why not. Like I said, it's just from ignorance and habit at this point.
