Like the US has a circumcision rate of over 80%! In most European countries it‘s more like 20% if not lower

I use funny in the sense of „oh God what bigoted bs is it now“. I recognize it‘s antisemitic but the fact also is the US has a long history of circumsizing babies of all religions which is something a lot of European countries don‘t do (here it‘s a lot more likely to happen cause someone‘s Jewish).

I mean it‘s all still horseshit but it‘s also kinda funny how this really only works in a country like the US where most are circumsized as babies

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
