discussion why do no-religious american boys get circumcised

[johndoea123]

Americans are so funny regarding this subject. "What if no woman wants him" "it will get dirty" like what? Basic hygiene is easy, and if someone is shallow enough to reject due to some skin, they're better off without them. Unless it's a medical emergency, circumsizing is pointless and pretty much cruel.

Probably for the sake of concepts like tradition, or blindly following a recommendation from a doctor.

But the real reason is that the Death-Star of David demands its circumcision tax and the reasons we've been told are all a government psi-op to cover up its existence.

I think they do it because of outdated cultural norms. It is, in my opinion, barbaric and dumb

It sometimes done because a young boy is unable to pull back the foreskin because of extreme pain.

Happened to a kid I grew up with.

Mostly because it's cultural by this point

 

[Paradigminant]

I imagine there's also just inertia to it. Maybe the father wants the son to be like him for some reason. Maybe to not have to explain it. Or "idk, I don't have complaints about my junk, so why not?" or so they'll look like most of the others in a school shower or something.
