      There’s constant slurs and jokes being thrown our waynat our expense. It’s a daily aspect of our lives.

      “Cut that out”

      “are you getting snippy with me?”

      “I’m afraid we’ll have to cut our time short”

      You probably don’t notice it unless you’ve been circumcised yourself.

        I assume there’s more context than just the statements. If someone randomly happens to use the word cut or snippy in a sentence, I don’t think that means they are making fun of a circumcision.

          im pretty sure we’re shitposting. I don’t think we’re actually being genuine here.

          Would you say the same thing to a black person who just opened up about racism they’ve experienced?

          You’re attempting to gaslight every circumcised male into believing it’s all in our heads.

            My dude, I’m circumcised.

            I don’t get out much, is this a thing that happens a lot? I guess I don’t openly declare I’m circumcised to my social group. So there’s no way that they would know. But if they did would they make that a big deal? I have a hard time imagining that they would even care.

            Are you sure this is a societal problem and not a friend group problem?

              The other day I saw my grocery store advertising that they were ‘slashing prices on sausages’. You’re telling me that’s not intentional?

              Just a coincidence I’m sure 😒

                I think it comes down to whether or not there is negative stigma with being circumcised.

                We all have to set our own bar on this one, from my perspective, I don’t see that society really cares if a person is cut or uncut.

                I would say that if this is causing problems for your life, then you should consider seeking therapy. Even if it turns out that society is gunning for you, getting help can make it easier to live in that society.
