Do you support circumcision?


And please say whether you consider yourself conservative or liberal, and feminist or not.

Thank you.

I do for the health benefits, and I'm a Conservative.

In 2012 the American Academy of Pediatrics found the health benefits outweighed the risks, but stopped short of recommending universal newborn circumcision:

I think it's unnecessary in most cases. I don't consider myself either

I'm against it whether it be male or female circumcision. It seems really backward and we are supposed to be a "Progressive" society or so the SJW's tell us.

I'm Conservative.

Yes. Urology was my nursing specialty. Once had to hold down a toddler's legs. His mother was holding his arms. He had a very bad penile infection at the head, the glans. The foreskin was stuck to the body of the penis. The pediatric urologist had to "pry" the stuck tissue surrounding the glans.

It was one of the most traumatizing procedures I had EVER participated in. Wasn't pleasant for the child either😱

I thought I had it bad.

HAH! It is most certainly, a more cleanly situation to have the circumcision. But the debate among physicians carries on. Some years most support, some years, they do not. It's a pendulum.

I'm against circumcision. I'll be angry every day of my life for being cut. I want my 60 percent of nerve endings back.
