Happily circumcised men are in denial?
level 1rin791 ·2 yr. ago This conversation right here is what got me interested in circumcision and why I'm so anti intactivist. I thought I was supposed to feel less. I asked a genuine question and got abused for it. Then I started reading accounts from other men who had the same experience as me, went back and re-read all the intactivist propaganda that I'd consumed the first time, and started seeing them for what they really are. Liars. OP·2 yr. ago Yep this was my experience as well. Most of what they say is indeed propaganda, based on anecdotes and post-hoc ergo propter hoc fallacies. Ocassionally they will throw some studies at you, but what most people don't realize is that those studies are always written by intactivists and suffer from severe flaws (e.g. recruiting participants via anti-circumcision websites) and are thus extremely biased and wrong. Based on what I've read unhappily circumcised men are a very small minority, but intactivists would have you believe that they are the majority, which is absolutely false. We need more studies and more men speaking up to show everyone that this is not the case. rin791 ·2 yr. ago Yes indeed! Aussiebawsies ·2 yr. ago they slap denial or some sort of conspiratorial excuse onto anything that disproves the claims they make. that's all anti-circumcision activism is. its universal in their group but uncut guys who subscribe to it seem to do this very aggressively to protect their ego, the interactions that I have seen across reddit come to mind.
