Circumcision Urged in Curbing AIDS Spread

Someone is actually worried about _men_ contracting a disease, and especially from their _female_ partners?? What's going on around here..something smells fishy..maybe the pro-circumcision people are trying to garner support from men's rights groups?

The pro-MGM people can go fuck themselves! 'nuff said

The article states:

"In Kenya, around 40 percent of men who have sex with men are estimated to be HIV positive, compared to a 6 percent rate in the country's overall population, amFAR said. In Senegal, nearly 22 percent are believed to be infected, compared to less than 1 percent of the general population."

Okay. So if the percentages are so drastic why not focus on the gay population and promote condom use rather than slicing off your entire male populations foreskins? It may be close to the truth that circumcised men are less likely to contract AIDS but let's have a look at the actual numbers instead of percentages and multiples. If 1-6% of the population is having trouble with a serious illness why are we suggesting that 100% of the population be subjected to a drastic procedure like circumcision. Remember that the rate of problem or botched circumcisions is near 3% so if 1% of the population might be helped you will triple the number of men who are harmed. Something is not right with this picture.

Follow the money. Follow Oprah who is pushing cosmetic products for women which use foreskins as an ingredient. Do you think for a millesecond that if they were using clitoris's for these creams that Oprah or our government would be backing this nonsense? Duh. Screams of misogyny would ring out loud and clear from every news media outlet for years to come. The pedestrian mantra is that men are expendable and so are their foreskins.

"cosmetic products for women which use foreskins as an ingredient.." - Where did you hear that?

Although I have seen a few women whose faces would look better if they were wearing a foreskin as a mask..

hi Ax - This is taken from a previous post here on MANN. Just imagine what the fems would do to Glenn Sacks or Warren Farrell if they recommended a product for men that used clitoris's from infant girls. They would be SKEWERED!

The following comment was taken from the mothering.com site in an article on circumcision. I chose that site out of google due to a mothering site being less likely to be biased towards an MRA position.

"Ironically, the value of the male foreskin is not lost on the cosmetics and medical research industries. Organogenesis is among several companies that use cells from foreskins amputated from male infants to produce artificial skin. Organogenesis received FDA approval for Apligraf, an artificial skin made from a combination of foreskin and bovine collagen. Cosmetics companies such as SkinMedica sell wrinkle creams and moisturizers made from infant foreskins. SkinMedicaa^?(TM)s TNS (Tissue Nutrient Solution) Recovery Complex, which retails for about $125 per half-ounce, is said to reduce facial lines and wrinkles.15 According to the producta^?(TM)s box, it is made from a^?oehuman fibroblast conditioned mediaa^??a^??hin other words, human foreskin. medical myths vs. reality"

Apparently the foreskins "make their way" to the cosmetic companies on the sly. It's not hard to guess who is making money on that one.

Here's a link to the SkinMedica site and some of their Products

and to a site that sells the creams.

So guess who recommends this stuff? You better sit down.

OPRAH!

This is bad. Just for a second imagine that little girls were being circumcised at birth and their clitoris's were being used by males as an oil for their baseball gloves. Can you imagine the magma erupting from the fiery furnace of feminist fury? Reverse it and no one gives a shit. So rich women are paying the big bucks for the little boys body parts. What a sham.

That's about the most disgusting thing I have seen.

Some women would be pretty desperate to look beautiful. This borders on cannibalism. Thanks for the info.
