I mean, I guess if guys weren’t circumcised they could simply store their Tylenol in their pee pee pockets.

I feel like circumcision is a really bizarre practice we should stop doing, but I don't want that conversation to get conflated with this nonsense.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it's a medical procedure that has legitimate uses, such as a permanent treatment for severe phimosis. Absolutely should not be done to kids just because fictional sky daddy is obsessed with dicks.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

In most cases it is not medically necessary. It should be addressed on a case by case basis. It should not be the norm.

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I got circumcized at 13 for 2 reasons. My foreskin was pretty tight and it hurt when I get hard. Then watching porn made me think my penis was not normal.

I really regret it. I wish I can go back to having a foreskin.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's a medical condition and completely circumcising is the most common and default solution.

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I know, but nobody tells you that your tip of your penis hurts/sensitive when you're running or walking for too long. I have to wear briefs or some kind of support when I run. Even tho it's better, it hurts after awhile.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

I have no problems with that. Not sure how long ago it was for you but maybe it gets better with time.

[–] Redredme@lemmy.world 0 points 23 hours ago

.... Err .. no? Or you have very raw fabric clothing or something else is up, bud.

Or do you mean you normally used no underwear when working out and it isn't that long ago (months, not years) since you had the procedure. Then yeah, there is a difference. But it all err.. should work out.

Speaking as one to the other if you catch my drift. Be happy you did it bud, the pain was just the one of the nasty other complications possible.

They want to diagnose women who take Tylenol while pregnant with TDS. Previously RFK Jr said he wanted to put people with mental illness - which he claims TDS is - in camps.

They want to build camps of pregnant liberal women. Do you think they will let them keep their babies? I doubt it.

They really are obsessed with genitals.

[–] addie@feddit.uk 32 points 1 day ago (4 children)

So does the presence of autistic women imply the existence of the 'lady foreskin'?

Mysteries of the female anatomy never cease to amaze.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Women are disproportionately underdiagnosed for autism, which could be one of the reasons RFK types have latched onto male-specific causes.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/when-your-adult-child-breaks-your-heart/202504/why-are-we-still-underdiagnosing-autism-in

Shyness tends to be problematized less in girls than in boys, and parents may perceive shyness as “sweetness.”

Many autistic people have special interests that they focus on. In boys and men, these often include cars, numbers, or collections. Girls may have more socially typical special interests, like celebrities or animals.

(of Masking) Gender norms exert a huge influence on women’s behavior, and women who deviate from gender norms can face harsh backlash.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Uh... women do have a "foreskin". Foreskin is what we call a prepuce in men and a prepuce on women is called a clitoral hood.

[–] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 5 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Since we're nitpicking, that means that no, they do not have a foreskin. You're specifically showing that its only called a foreskin when it's on a penis.

Most unhinged statement I can make on it:
There is no such thing as an autistic woman. The women with autism are all trans and have been circumsized.

Scariest statement I can make on it:
For women, it’s not the circumcision, it’s whether or not the mother has taken birth control prior to being pregnant.

Most rational statement I can make on it:
RFK has had too many homemade medical remedies, and we’re all paying the price.

Autism is stored in the balls

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I think you had an incorrect circumcision

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

No it's the anti-autism genes that are stored in the foreskin...obviously

[–] horn_e4_beaver@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, autism is caused by the nerve endings on the head of the penis migrating to the brain due to them being overstimulated after circumcision.

[–] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

That's how people become dickheads, not the cause for autism.

And air. 100% of autism cases confirmed exposed to air. We are also investigating whether wearing shoes is related or not.

At least if this stops the mass circumcisions in America he will have nearly done a good thing by accident

Circumcision isn't common in the UK yet I think the autism rates are around the same

fuck it, if they could get worked up enough about this to ban genital mutilation atleast that could be 1 win.

not worth the rest of the shit going on but atleast its something

[–] Jhuskindle@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

I mean yeah anything that helps stop circumcision for un consenting people would be great can't believe that gave me a little hope

[–] pacology@lemmy.world 51 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The causal chain between pp and autism is lost to me.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (4 children)

They're always thinking of pp. Constantly. They can't get it out of their heads. Theirs or others. It's the one through line transiting everything the Republicans do.

Ok I knew it was bait but I had to see wtf going on. Save yall a click:

There are two studies which show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, it’s highly likely, because they were given Tylenol

Its Tylenol still. Maybe we need to go back to heroine!

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I take Tylenol daily to keep optimum autism levels.

[–] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Am I destroying my autism gains by having a foreskin? This explains why I don't care much for trains. Someone hand me some scissors.

I'm loving how unhinged this fucking fuck is getting. We stan a deranged king who's obsessed with my medical status

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I think the more nefarious implication here (if he can get people to bite into this) is that if all it takes is to remove a piece of skin to "mAkE tHe aUtIsM" then they can next argue that people that have been crippled, or had limbs amputated are less than whole and have mental "diseases" as well.

On a less serious note...Is he going to physically prove he's not autistic?

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 28 points 2 days ago

I won't complain too much if it's the one thing that gets people to stop genital mutilation, but people listening to the truth would still be nice.

They discovered that there’s more neurodivergent people among ethnic Jews? Groundbreaking.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lol, they didn't discover shit, they're trying to correlate data to fit some kind of fucked up narrative in a campaign against... I don't know, but it's probably going to include lists of the "sick" who need to be "taken care of"

Then it was clearly the Tylenol.
