Circumcision distorts + mutilates male expression #ericclopper #circumcision #humanrights

When you have your sex organs violated, mutilated as an infant, it casts a shadow on your entire life. If you ask a parent, would you like to mutilate your infant? They would say no, like, don't touch my infant. But we use these Latin euphemisms, circumcision, to shield the reality of what's going on.

So if one of the revered Jewish leaders is saying blatantly out there in the open in the darkest patriarchal way possible, that the two things that are needed from circumcision that they want to actually project out in the world are the excision of sexual pleasure and to check a man's pride, to literally associate that sexual pleasure equals pain. There's nothing more demonic. How could you not look at that and say, that is evil, that is wrong?

Well, it is evil and it is. It is the root of at least some historical antisemitism. It's a societal harm that is a huge problem to be part of your society.

Religious rights over human rights.
