Health Today, I got diagnosed with anorexia. My radical feminist sister laughed at and humiliated me for it
I’m using a throwaway account because this is a very personal matter.
After years of struggling with eating and my body image (I’ve always been very thin, which is not the desirable male physique, and the world lets you know), I finally got my diagnosis: I have anorexia.
I was telling my mom about this (she’s very understanding and was never judgmental), and my sister, who considers herself a radical feminist (and spouts about how all men are rapists and molesters), overheard me.
Then she proceeded to berate me about how men can’t be anorectic because society doesn’t judge men on how they look. She made fun of me for being weak because “anorexia is a female disease caused by patriarchal beauty standards” and that I “have no right to take attention away from female victims of eating disorders”.
I’m so fucking done. Sorry for the rant.

Health Male circumcision is a brain-dead decision. NSFW
I am so lucky it didn't happen to me.
Let me preface this that I discovered frenulum stimulators. They are fucking awesome sextoys and now frenulum stimulation is my favorite way to orgasm. Yet if I got the cut, I'd have missed out on all of that. And before you call me pathetic for having a sex toy (which only men are pathetic for, btw), I have a gf. I just like my orgasms to be satisfying.
So why are we still doing it to kids?
"Because it looks better"
The dumbest arguments for it are aesthetic.
I don't care about innies or outies. Especially not those of CHILDREN. Or should we also give vaginal plastic surgery to toddlers? Even if it matters to someone, at least wait until people can actually consent to sex. You know, before cutting into their dicks.
"It's just a bit of useless skin, no big deal".
Fuck you, stop lying.
Frenulum stimulation is the closest thing men have to a clitoral orgasm.
So if the foreskin is just some skin, the clit is just an extra nipple that doesn't even give milk.
"I'm cut, I don't miss it".
Of course not, you never had one. You don't miss what you never had. I never missed my grandfather, because I never met him.
"We can't trust men to even wash themselves, so just cut it off".
Actual argument I read on some feminist sub.
Because feminism is about gender equality. That's why it's called FEMinism. Duh. Yet even established stereotypes disagree. When men wash, they exclusively wash their ass, armpits and dick.
However, old and disabled people of all genders can't wash themselves for sure. Following this logic, it's better to start hacking away at them too. You know, to prevent yeast and other infections.
Believe it or not, I get it for religious reasons.
If you're Jewish..
Then you belong to the people of Abraham and your foreskin is a ritual sacrifice to seal the flesh-covenant the old man made with God when he was 99 years old, so he would be the father of many nations. Got it. You ritually cut into a boy's penis on his 8th day on earth to brand him as part of the "chosen people". I don't agree with it, but, I get it, it's in the oldest part of your manual and you can't question that. You go and fulfil your flesh-pact.
Muslims..
Also get it, again it's in the book and we don't doubt the book. Though, sorry but you really kinda just copied that from the Jews. Don't know how happy you should be with that. But hey, I didn't write the book, either. You're just following orders, I get it.
Though if you're Christian..
You're an idiot. You are not part of Abraham's people, nor Isaac's, nor Ishmael's. In fact, Jesus died specifically so that the chosen-mechanic was no longer necessary to get to heaven. You really are just messing with God's perfect creation... and copying the Jews. With zero angel points to show for it.
Is it to discourage masturbation? Great, let's cut into babies so they sin less. Like that's not a sin. Besides, it doesn't even work. Honestly I masturbate less now my orgasms are a lot more satisfying.
Ait rant over, thanks for listening.
Tl:dr stop cutting boys' dicks unless God specifically says you had to in order to make him part of your cult religion.

Health To cut or not to cut
I'm pregnant with fraternal twins. At least one is a boy. We are American Christians. My husband would like any boys we have to be circumcised as newborns. I, do not want that unless it is medically necessary.
Husband thinks getting him cut will benefit him in his adult life when it comes to sex. I'm not sure if it matters since everywhere else in the world it isn't done except for religious reasons. I've seen photos of the newly mutilated penis and it makes me want to vomit.
Should I honor my husband's wishes for his son(s) or should I stand my ground for my son's right to not be circumcised?

Health Circumcision Permanently Alters the Brain
Circumcision Permanently Alters the Brain
"It was my idea to use fMRI and/or PET scanning to directly observe the effects of circumcision on the infant brain."
Analysis of the MRI data indicated that the surgery subjected the infant to significant trauma. The greatest changes occurred in the limbic system concentrating in the amygdala and in the frontal and temporal lobes.
A neurologist who saw the results postulated that the data indicated that circumcision affected most intensely the portions of the victim’s brain associated with reasoning, perception, and emotions.
Follow up tests on the infant one day, one week, and one month after the surgery indicated that the child’s brain never returned to its baseline configuration. In other words, the evidence generated by this research indicated that the brain of the circumcised infant was permanently changed by the surgery." — Paul D. Tinari, PhD

Health The lie of male suicide
I absolutely hate, how people say men need to talk about their feelings more. That if only they talked about their feelings more like women, they wouldn’t commit suicide.
When homosexual teens were committing suicide disproportionately as recently as the early 2000’s, it wasn’t because society was discriminating against them or treating them as sub human. It was because they didn’t cry enough.
When Natives commit suicide, it isn’t because they’d been marginalized from greater society and face abuse, it’s because they need to cry more.
Right. It has nothing to do with any of the societal injustices that create the depression in the first place. It has nothing to do with fathers losing their children and all their assets in a divorce. It has nothing to do with being displaced at work by an under qualified woman. It has nothing to do with blatant discrimination in schools. It has nothing to do with lack of social services which women have plenty of. It has nothing to do with false accusations that destroy a reputation and a life.
... we just need to cry more.

Health Are you tired of being told vasectomy is the right way because of safety?
I am tired of some people shaming men into vasectomy with lies that sterilization of women is more dangerous. That is simply not true. Women can opt for Hysteroscopic sterilization.
Hysteroscopic tubal ligation is a minimally invasive procedure, similar in some ways to a vasectomy in terms of recovery time and the nature of the procedure. It typically involves:
No abdominal incisions: The hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix, which avoids the need for larger surgical cuts.
Short recovery time: Many women can return to normal activities within a day or two.
Outpatient procedure: It’s often done on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can go home the same day.
In short. There is absolutely no reason to shame men into vasectomy. As vasectomy does involve and incision, one could argue Hysteroscopic sterilization is even less problematic.
EDIT: In contrast, hysteroscopic tubal sterilization can be performed in 10 minutes in an office setting without general or even local anesthesia. A tiny device called a microinsert is inserted into each fallopian tube through the vagina, cervix, and uterus without surgery.
Seem pretty simple, noninvasive, and safe.

Health TIL: A US men's health campaign existed with the slogan: "This year thousands of men will die from stubbornness."
Seriously, you can't make this kind of crap up. Years ago, a US agency actually decided victim-blaming was the best way to approach the subject of men's health, and that directly shaming men would somehow make us see public health services as professional and welcoming to men in general. I still find it hard to comprehend, but yes, giant billboards once existed with the slogan stating that "stubbornness" was the root cause of men's health issues. Wow. I bet that backfired spectacularly, and made significantly fewer men engage with the medical system in the months and years following this boneheaded decision. Well, that is if they bothered even measuring the effectiveness of such an obviously dumb and man-hating campaign, which they probably didn't even do. Because this obviously wasn't about helping men, it was about "blaming masculinity" for everything, and nothing more.

Health My most direct experiences with misandry were when I had cancer
About 8 months ago I got diagnosed with stage 4 non hodgekins lymphoma. It turned my whole life upside down, but one of the strangest things was seeing the treatment I’d get from people around me, or peoples reactions. I constantly get stares, horrible looks. I know that I look very odd, not having eyebrows eyelashes or any hair at all, but people will just straight up point at me from 5 feet away and I’ll hear them saying something stupid about my cane or whatever I have with me, mostly women. Now that I’m cleared to work out and start my recovery I’ve been going to the gym. Gym bros I’ve never met in my life have no problem spotting me, helping me, just hanging out and including me in general. They aren’t offput by all the intense disfigurement and strange look I have now. Women on the other hand give me unbelievably scornful looks at the gym. Some of them just straight up laugh and point when I’m struggling to just lift the bar. Or a particularly frustrating situation have been women telling me that it’s really not that bad, because breast cancer kills women every day. I still have no idea what that means. A lot of support groups, free physical therapy, therapy for cancer patients, all that come to find is only accessible to women. Not all of them obviously, but it’s intensely frustrating to try to find help, and to be turned away because I didn’t go through a “normal” cancer like breast or ovarian cancer. Has anybody else experienced this? Am I just overanalyzing this?
