My strategy is to help cut men not just understand but experience some of the sensation they’ve lost, so they won’t consider cutting their sons. Problem is you tell somebody you want them to restore their foreskin and they think you’re nuts.
If instead you give them a simple, comfortable, discreet way to keep their existing skin rolled forward in a covering state they might be willing to try it. I’d remind them that this little effortless research is the least they can do before making the decision to have normal parts amputated from someone they’re suppoed to care for. Every mammal on earth evolved a foreskin before there was surgery or soap, so there’s no emergency to do the mutilation.
If you’re an atheist intactivist, I can let you have some Your-Skin Cones for such persuasive efforts.

]]>A normal, “sane,” person has the common decency to let the fundamentalist rant on – and do that “respect their belief” thing which annoys me.
The insane fundamentalist has no such compunction.
Come the revolution…
]]>Plus, we all want to be multicultural, and allow for other people’s values, whereas the true-believers think they are doing you a disservice if they don’t rescue you from the danger of going to hell.
]]>The fundamentals of religion seem to require children are indoctrinated as early as possible. It strikes me that this is not a sign that their “belief” is solid. If they are so sure, then wait and people will come round of their own choice.
Indoctrination does not strike me as a “good sign” …
