I can tell you're new here because you think a circumcision topic will end. :wink:


Yah relatively new. And no I'm just being optimistic. I think I have a diff perspective being circumcised myself and also Jewish. That being said I'm probably not going to cut him and in my religion that is huge

Body autonomy and free agency are feminist issues.

While it might not be directly feminist the issue is intersectional to feminism.

RIC, for me, falls under the header of violating the rights of the individual to determine what happens to their own body. It was outlawed for female babies in the 70s *terrifying to know it too that long to remove such barbarism from the land of parental rights* Male infants should receive the same protections.

Also.. feminism does not mean "decided by women" Feminism is the movement to advance the equality of women as a social class.
