Do feminists support male circumcision?

Question

Do feminists support male circumcision?

Answer 1

Personally, I don't support circumcision, but I know it's a tradition in much of western culture. If I had a son, I'd try to avoid having him circumcized, but ultimately I think it would be up to the father... I don't have a p***s so I don't have the best idea of what circumcision would be like (or what consequences it would have), so I'd let someone who DOES make the decision.

Answer 2

yes... I think feminist DO support male circumcision...

Answer 3

As a male, I should hope so.

Answer 4

They shouldn't, and many don't.  His body, his choice.

Circumcision harms both men and women.  Read this article written by a female OB/GYN about how male circumcision is harmful to women.

Answer 5

Some do(for reasons that will benefit women) and others don't.

Unless it's a medical necessity, I don't support it.

Answer 6

Not this feminist. For me is the genital mutilation of a child.

Answer 7

I'm not sure that feminists have a group view on this.

On an equality side probably not, but there are cultural beliefs that belive in it and this maybe stronger...

It's like asking "Do all patriachal sexist males believe women should be circumcised / get boob jobs etc"

Answer 8

Probably not, but I will say that I think it is a medical neccesity.  It is more hygenic to be circumsized.

Answer 9

No, why would they? There may be a few feminists that hate men but most feminists just want women to be treated equally.

Circumcision is bad because it has a harmful effect on the man's enjoyment of s*x and masturbation.  Just see here for more info:

here is a list of things you lose: http://www.norm-uk.org/circumcision_lost...

Originally it was for religious reasons to punish little boys: http://youtube.com/watch?v=X09jPPeogLQ

Now doctors do not recommend it because serves no benefit.  It is not even cleaner , in fact intact p***s's are probably cleaner because the smegma contains anti-bodies:

Also feminists wouldn't want to punish their own new- born boys would they?  Care for a new intact boy is also a lot easier: http://www.cirp.org/library/normal/aap/ so presumably they would keep him intact like most educated people.
