It's not for Gentiles.

What if my nose is somewhat big?

Do your ears hang low too?

Male genital mutilation? I wouldn't do it to my child 👀

That's how I see it.

My son is not. I am. Different times. If he wants to be he can choose to do it himself.

It was the same for my dad and I. I think it's a good way to approach it

Well, I mean, when I was born it was culturally normal and medically promoted, possibly due to religious affiliations and influences within the medical community. Myself, not having such personal religious affiliations and my experiences being international with an international family, and with more science being shared that defeats any non-religious reasoning... Plus if one wanted to get religious "God made Man in His image" kinda defeats the whole mutilation aspect. Yeah... That's why I ain't making that irreversible decision for him. And now he's a teen with it not an issue/problem/question at all. Dude's had more girlfriends than I ever did at that age...

Barbaric

Yeah, I lean toward that train of thought.

We didnt for our son because the data shows it reduces UTI incidence from 3 in 100,000 to 1 in 100,000. This is negligible for the risk/discomfort.

I didn't know about that stat. Interesting 🤔

Its the only medical justification afaik

No point. It was for the Jews to be set apart. There's a new covenant now.

What are your thoughts on female circumcision?

Brutal, I can't believe it's even a thing.

Exactly 👍

Don't know why my parents decided to chop chop. Will figure stuff out when I have kids, the stat in the comment is quite telling.

But I'm sure also that's not the only pertinant statistic, maybe it is. Like I said I'll figure it out when time comes..

I had always assumed my parents decided it due to their religion.
