    Because this particular internet conversation moved beyond any kind of rationality somewhere around 2002

      Yeah, the people against mutilating the genitals of babies are irrational when they talk about how fucked up they think forced genital mutilation is.

      It’s definitely not the people who dogmatically defend cutting off parts of baby genitalia despite all the suffering and issues it causes, who are behaving irrationally.

      If you want to have parts of your dick chopped off, more power to ya. But do it when you’re a consenting adult.

      This is a barbaric practice that itself is only a surrogate for the much more barbaric practice of child sacrifice.

      To suggest discussion of it moved beyond any kind of rationality is laughable because its very foundation is a rejection of rationality.

      Let’s have a rational discussion: what is your best, rational, science-backed reason for supporting the nonconsensual mutilation of male infants?

      I know some of those words are emotionally provocative but they are 100% accurate and simply not cloaked in polite euphemism, and you need to engage with each of them on a rational basis.

      I eagerly await your thoughts.
