minus-squareCaptainEffort@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-23 months agoThat’s not what a strawman is. They’re not saying pro choice people are for circumcision, and then arguing against that falsely constructed opinion. They’re making a joke that pro “choice” people should be against circumcision, as the babies who get them aren’t given the choice. A strawman specifically means that they’re claiming that this is those people’s opinion, and then arguing against it.

minus-squareEmerald@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoThat’s perfectly fair. I feel like where a lot of anti-circumcision activists go wrong is they focus too much on telling circumcised people that their body is wrong and they should feel mad, rather then focusing on the actual issue at hand.
