Traditional initiation is a rite of passage into manhood for young males that is practiced by various ethnic groups in Africa, including parts of South Africa. Among them are the Xhosa, Ndebele, Sotho and Venda communities.
It always amazes me how ignorant western men are about this subject. No wonder you view men that practice it as if they are barbaric or “lesser-than”. That’s how most bigotry works though…through ignorance.
The foreskin is highly susceptible to infection during early childhood. Especially in regions where cleaning the foreskin is not as easy. It’s a perfect example of how a common sense health measure becomes a cultural tradition.
I think it’s far more lazy to simply write it off as some kind of barbaric practice, instead of utilizing some critical thinking about why it’s so common.
Lol “western men.” Okay. You couldn’t sound more like an American man right now defending child genital mutilation. In any event, rambling incoherently about how evil western men are to defend child genital mutilation isn’t convincing anybody that your position has any merit, and most people in the developing world would find it weird.

Yeah. I know in the southern hemisphere brushing your teeth can get really difficult too.
Fucking exoticizing fetishizing bullshit.
