I think this is the distinction that some here aren't making: medical or religious reasons for the procedure. If, after consulting a physician - who would also perform the procedure, in a medical facility - parents decide to go ahead, then that's an informed decision. Only if the medical reason is by diagnosis, not prevention of a possible problem in the future. It seems that in the US circumcision for 'medical reasons' includes questionable preventative health reasons - which aren't really scientifically all that valid or reasonable. most of the mooted health 'benefits' relate to sexually transmitted diseases, and the effectiveness of circumcision do not exceed widely available contraceptive measures (such as condoms) - which also prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. UTI's aren't really a major threat to life or well being.

You should look at the rape and sexual assault conviction rate compared to the reports of rape and sexual assault to the police. About 1 in 14 reported rapes end in a conviction. I believe in this case she was found guilty of sexual assault and she pleaded not guilty. The assault left him bleeding (presumably from around his bottom). The maximum sentence is life. IMO she got off very lightly and I doubt a man would have gotten away so lightly.

So I think, chances are, if the roles were reversed, it wouldn't even have made it to court. Sentences for rape, widely touted as the second most serious offence against the person, after murder, rarely see sentences of more than five years. So for every man convicted of rape, at least 13 get away with it. And people wonder why women don't go to the police more often.

That is, of course, based on the assumption that 100% of rape claims are genuine. I don't know what the actual figures are, but it's certainly not 100% as a few recent cases of nutters crying rape have confirmed.

This is about consent and physical evidence. So what's the solution? I'm very suspicious about what the explicit realities that screwing around with the burden of proof here. In private educational institutions in the US....some have done just that. The Rubin report looked into it. If that's the environment you want I'm not with you.

Just been told I'm part of the problem and shouldn't be commenting when I spoke up in favour of the #metoo tag, when it was implied men should instead be coming forward as the offenders. Good luck smashing the patriarchy.

Just watched this video by a female at university who's fed up with male feminists....which we know a set proportion of will just be beta males trying to get tail the only pathetic way they can....or they had negative male experiences in their family...though that's my belief not hers.

Good luck smashing the patriarchy. Ther are a significant number of women who just hate men for various reasons, in the same way that some men hate women.
