People get more offended when you say male genital mutilation about circumcision, becuase apparently its equating mgm to fgm, then they do with the actual practice of mutilating a baby boy

Genuinely ive had so many debates/arguments with mainly women who get offended when you try to label baby costmetic circumcision as what it is, mutilation. Theyll have no solid stance on mgm but asoon as you call it mgm its like they go into fight mode like circumcision is a contest about what is worst, and how fgm is mutilation and how circumcision isnt, and not that theres different levels of mutilation and mgm is the male equivalent to fgm cause it is..

Its genuinely concerning.

not only is the male gender role not a excuse for circumcision but circumcision is just the most obvious part of a life long form of human rights abuse.

Imagine I dress up like the Playboy Bunny or the Easter Bunny, hop down the street, grab some random adult, drag them into a ridiculous themed dungeon, and spend ten years turning them into a loud, obnoxious macho caricature who thinks he’s Conan the Barbarian. I mess with their identity, their personality, their whole sense of self. I basically manufacture a cartoon character.

Then I turn around and say, “Well, look at him — he’s an obnoxious Conan wannabe, so everything I did is totally fine.”

Everyone would instantly see how insane that logic is.

But that’s exactly the kind of logic society uses on boys. We force a gender role on them from birth, we alter their bodies without consent, we raise them with less empathy, we pressure them to act “tough,” and then we blame them for the traits we programmed into them. Circumcision is just one early example of how male autonomy gets dismissed — not because boys deserve it, but because people assume they’ll grow into “macho idiots” who don’t need care.

The point is simple:
Just because society creates a certain kind of man doesn’t mean the treatment boys get is justified.

POTS The Fart

POTS channel is a fart. Its time we intactivist start questioning who he is and his motives.

In a few weeks a major video will be dropping in series.

When someone comes into an advocacy movement asking for support, you expect a grassroots voice or a non profit effort. But POTS isn't a non profit organization. It is branded and operated as an LTD a private, for profit limited company.

Regret parents are just as bad.

I’ve made a similar post months ago but would like to bring this back up.

If you are a regret parents saying “ we live and learn” “ I didn’t know any better then!”. Your son is permanently altered because of you and now has to live with it the rest of his life and it’s unforgivable. Your regret doesn’t give you an free pass to there love and I hope they never forgive you

This goes for both mothers and fathers who are regret parents
