I think the lack of reversibility was one of the elements that made it worth the fight, for her.
It's a real burden being right so often.

We could talk about female circumcision for a change...

What is the evolutionary advantage of foreskin?

After spending a week in the Borneo jungle, the advantage of a foreskin was obvious. EVERYTHING hits you at hip level when you go through the jungle - vines, thorns, bugs.

What is even happening?
My opinion is that it's not something worth fighting over, but the girl I was arguing with thought that defending a child's foreskin was a vitally important battle.Does she know that wives of circumcised men have a lower rate of cervical cancer?

What is the evolutionary advantage of foreskin?
It makes the penis less funny looking and therefore reduces the chance of erection defeating laughter?

Hey. New board.
Does she know that wives of circumcised men have a lower rate of cervical cancer?
Doubt it. Is there any evidence that that's causative? It seems like a strange correlation to me.

Thrive to spite them
There was a man who used to stand in front of the hospital holding signs protesting cirucmsion.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Though, upon reflection, I can't tell whether the normal girls diluted the overal hideousness of the page or made the others worse by contrast.
They made it worse. Sorry. No more talk of the disturbing little girl pictures.
I finally feel human today, even though I haven't showered yet. And even though I was awake from 12:30 to 5:45 a.m. and the boy woke up at 6:15. Doesn't matter. I got enough sleep and I don't feel like throwing up. I'm marking this morning in the win column.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, if a higher incidence of STDs is correlated to a higher incidence of cervical cancer, it may seem a little less farfetched.
Not that circumcision is linked to STD, just that cervical cancer is affected by external internal factors.
