Comment on If circumcision is so insanely common in the USA, why do people tease about it on the internet?
False@lemmy.world 10 hours agoI was circumcised and my penis seems to work just fine. I do have to say that I couldn’t care much less about the topic.
Yes, ironic that I clicked this thread at all, but I’m bored.

Your penis doesn’t work just fine if you were circumcised. You are one of the brainwashed people I was talking about.
Read about the function of the foreskin, which is way more than a bit of hanging skin on the end of your member, it’s a sensitive and double-sided tissue that keeps your internal bits where they belong.

Sounds like you have an inferiority complex or something.

When were you circumcised? I’m guessing as a child. Your own parents weren’t satisfied with your penis. It’s fine to accept that you were the victim of a irreversible religious genital modification without your consent and that it doesn’t define you and you won’t let it ruin your life. But making a point of arguing that you’re actually totally okay, that other people are obsessed with your penis specifically and that circumcision as a whole isn’t that bad and kind of passively endorsing it is not fine and betrays a much deeper insecurity on your part than whatever accusations you’re projecting onto me. Nonmedical circumcision has been condemned by the overwhelming majority of the world for centuries, and continues to be so today

While I get where you’re coming from, most people don’t understand what’s normal to others because they think their experience is normal. And most of us won’t get to experience someone else’s experiences to figure out what’s normal for others and what isn’t. You might be fully satisfied with your situation because it is a good situation, but it also might be because you don’t know any better and think what you experience daily to be the norm for everyone, similarly to people living in a dictatorship regime who don’t even know about the possibility of living free so they’re content with their situation.
I’m not saying it’s your case, I’m not saying you should feel bad or that there’s something that doesn’t work the way it should. I’m saying you don’t really know how things should work because you only have your experiences to rely on, and your satisfaction might derive from not knowing what something should actually feel/be like in comparison to what it is.
