About a month ago, I posted this. I asked r/MensRights to convince me not to circumcise my son. I asked everyone not to be hyperbolic, and a lot of you did pretty well, others not so much. I understand this is a passionate issue for many of you, however. Who knows once I have my son maybe Ill be passionate about it as well.
I explained in my post the reasons for and against. Admittedly, my reasons for circumcision were lacking. This is still a little tough for me, but I have made my decision. I wouldve waited until he was actually born, but r/mensrights might have a short memory (as the internet generally does), and I wanted to repost while you folks might still remember my initial post. Either way my decision is final.
I have decided not to circumcise my child. Not because I think its mutilation necessarily (I still think thats a little hyperbolic).

I decided not to because there seems to be no good reason to do it. WarZoneforDefecation simply said “Shouldnt you have to make the case FOR circumcision?” That was probably the comment that got to me the best.
Like I said my reasons for circumcision were laughable. I try to think logically in every situation. I think I usually do a good job. In this case there is some emotional thoughts in my head about this that made me want to get him circumcised. I dont know if its because I wanted him to be like me or what. I really cant describe why part of me wants him to be circumcised.
Either way logic has won on this one. Im not getting him circumcised. milkandcereal mentioned that they tried to shove papers in his moms face to try and get permission for circumcision. Is this something I need to worry about? How can I be sure they dont circumcise him? Like I know I can read everything through, but Im guessing theres going to be a lot of paper work that day. Also, my wife probably wont
