Can't agree that it's "name-calling", just stating the obvious fact that men lose over 60% of sensetivity down there at birth for no reason, without being given

Can't agree that it's "name-calling", just stating the obvious fact that men lose over 60% of sensetivity down there at birth for no reason, without being given a choice. But I do understand your intention is to keep this board clean and friendly. This topic is no more provocative than e.g. abortion, and doesn't really belong on HN in the first place.
I also don't agree that it's flame bait. Political correctness is the language of cowards. And cowards get their and their kids' genitals mutilated. There's a real issue, and not calling it what it is is just letting it keep rolling forever without anyone having courage to do anything about it.
- dang 5y ago"Cripple" certainly counts as name-calling in this context. Of course it's a real issue, and a provocative one. You (i.e. all of us) are responsible not for setting threads on fire when that is the case. This applies regardless of how right you are, or feel you are. Indeed, the more right you are, the more important this becomes—otherwise you end up discrediting the truth, which hurts everybody (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=truth%20discredit%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). We don't care about political correctness—we care about discussion quality. When you post the way you did upthread, and also in this reply, it leads to predictably poorer-quality discussion.
