You’re missing the point of my post.

"so i’m going to assume you mean in the west, and i’ll list a few things:

first, it’s not “feminists” and “mothers” alone who circumcise their sons.”

I never said that. What I said was, if a man is not allowed to have an opinion on anything to do with a woman’s reproductive systems according to feminists, why do these feminists turn around five minutes later and think they get to have an opinion on circumcision, and to either dismiss it as “its just a bit of skin” or say “who cares men need to suck it up and get over it” or better yet, actively circumcise their sons?

'In fact, a child’s odds of being circumcised skyrocket when his male parent is present, so your question might be better directed at…men? Why do men seem to think it’s so damn important?”

By that logic, why are never any of the posts concerning women’s reproductive rights are never aimed at conservative women such as Sarah Palin, who, if she had her way, would have a girl raped by her father be forced to carry the baby to full term, and to generally reduce her to a human petri dish? Why do feminists never address the fact that many of the most prominent campaigners against abortion are women?

"second, religious freedom. allowing (≠ requiring) circumcision is arguably a matter of being respectful of each individual family’s religious choice.”

How about the infant’s choice to not have a piece of their genitals chopped off? People use this exact same excuse to defend FGM in many different cultures and religions. Religion is not an excuse to take a knife to an infant’s genitals.

”Women’s access to abortion does not infringe on any religious freedoms”

Have you ever been to Ireland? Or do you think all the Irish women coming over to England to get abortions are just doing it for shits and giggles?

"a Christian woman, for example, is free to choose to remain pregnant. (For me, this is a weak argument when it comes to circumcision since bodily autonomy is a bigger priority than religious “freedom,” but I am including it to clarify the differences between women choosing to abort and parents choosing to circumcise their son.)"

So why are you even bringing it up? Religion in the past has been used to deny women reproductive rights, and still is used to do so in many parts of the world. Why do you think its acceptable for religion to be used to justify making irreversible decisions on a male infants body, but not a woman’s right to reproductive choices?

"third, age. A woman old enough to become pregnant is able to make decisions about her body, particularly in this regard. An infant boy does not have the ability to make decisions, literally—and so his parents ensure that he is properly vaccinated and cared for, and many parents are taught early on that circumcision is for the infant’s health. while this is largely false, it is a pervasive myth, and so it is important to remember that these parents are acting out of a desire to provide him with care they believe to be essential to his health.”

So why are you taking umbrage with what I am saying?

"lastly, one injustice does not make another okay. abolishing women’s right to choose does nothing to aid a man’s right to choose circumcision (instead of have it performed before an age of consent).”

How did you get that I wanted to abolish women’s rights? Pointing out the hypocrisy of feminists who state that men have no business even having an opinion on a woman’s reproductive system and then turning around and stating that circumcision is painless and it can be carried out on children too young to consent is not “wanting to abolish women’s rights”.

"if you want to help men and boys, go ahead. circumcision is atrocious. end it. that’s good work. but there is absolutely zero need to knock down women’s rights to do it."

Please see above.

”It doesn’t help you at all to perpetuate sexist tropes of mothers as the sole figures responsible for the injustices children face.”

Except I never said that. Please don’t put words in my mouth.

"Think about doctors. Think about academia. Think about fathers. Think about men. Think about media. "

You mean parents.
