"Other bad things happen so we shouldnt try to improve this Bad thing!"
- hamandcheese 9y agoI think the parent is just pointing out that the outrage seems a bit disproportionate. There are far more damaging things a parent can do that most people accept, whereas the actual effect circumcision has on your life is basically zero.
- Brotkrumen 9y agoIf that's the argument, I'm not convinced. We as a society try to influence the saner parts of what parent mentioned, such as values and pox parties. Passing on genes, well we generally don't want to prevent that, because, contrary to forbidding circumcision, the cure would be worse than the disease.
- fiatjaf 9y ago> contrary to forbidding circumcision That's the part when you introduce your values and your judgement and try to make it sound as if everybody agrees.
