Traditional initiation is a rite of passage into manhood for young males that is practiced by various ethnic groups in Africa, including parts of South Africa. Among them are the Xhosa, Ndebele, Sotho and Venda communities.
It always amazes me how ignorant western men are about this subject. No wonder you view men that practice it as if they are barbaric or “lesser-than”. That’s how most bigotry works though…through ignorance.
The foreskin is highly susceptible to infection during early childhood. Especially in regions where cleaning the foreskin is not as easy. It’s a perfect example of how a common sense health measure becomes a cultural tradition.
I think it’s far more lazy to simply write it off as some kind of barbaric practice, instead of utilizing some critical thinking about why it’s so common.
Lol “western men.” Okay. You couldn’t sound more like an American man right now defending child genital mutilation. In any event, rambling incoherently about how evil western men are to defend child genital mutilation isn’t convincing anybody that your position has any merit, and most people in the developing world would find it weird.
They do. You really dig yourself into a hole here huh? Are you a Zionist by any chance? Conservative of some sort? Just curious what makes you think the way you do.
So, you’d rather “take your advice” from white supremacists, then? They’re the ones who came up with all your talking points. You’re doing a great job of spreading their propaganda.

You’re the only ignorant one here, you disgusting child abuser.
Ad hominems don’t make your point. They only make it look like you don’t have one.
No, no I’m reading this and they just seem disgusted by your stubbornly racist ignorant parody of anticolonialism.
You don’t see these people as human in the same way you’re human. You need to other them to apply the logic you’re applying.
Even aside from fetishizing and defending a violation of bodily autonomy; that’s sick.
You use that word a lot. But, I don’t think you know what it actually means.

Says the person who labels people white supremacists for not wanting dead kids from unnecessary medical procedures.
I’ll avoid taking any life advice from someone such as yourself, thanks.

Yeah. I know in the southern hemisphere brushing your teeth can get really difficult too.
Fucking exoticizing fetishizing bullshit.
