Exclusive: health professionals, survivors and politicians voice concerns in open letter over comments by Fatima Maada Bio, who denies supporting the practice
Oh oh oh, how like most Americans are religiously for circumcision, mostly because it would be annoying to think someone’s robbed them of sexual function by mutilating their genitals as a baby?
Exactly. I had my dick snipped. I also requested my son’s was snipped. I was stupid. I should have known better, but I was too Americman for knowing better. I already knew better. I would say things like, “it’s better for hygiene” or “helps prevent premature ejaculation in old age” (like it was some kind of gross favor). So yeah, yeah… I fucking know.
That level of “I was wrong” is genuinely rare to see anywhere. Mad props for changing your position and even admitting to just how wrong you were.
This may sound sarcastic, but it’s not.
You’re “one of the good ones”. (That’s slightly sarcastic, as the sentence in itself implies discrimination.)
America might not be doing well, but at least there are people like you, brave enough to go against the tide. And I believe that’s sort of a core American value. Like not a modern one, but an ideal one which someone might’ve been philosophising over once. Going against the system just isn’t a thing here to that extent. Levels of conformity, yeah, that’s what I mean. It’s much higher where I live and the values behind everything seem fucked up, and ideal American ones at least resemble French Enlightenment philosophies, even if you’ve really don’t have them in use, currently.
