I'm too concerned fighting for legislative protection for Sexual Violence Against Men and Boys, abolishing male conscription and infant male circumcision.

One day we're gonna have the conversation that circumcising boys is MGM / Male Genital Mutilation. Male circumcision done against minors is not okay. Removing male foreskin isn't necessary. Male autonomy matters

Abstract to the article "Conceptualizing technicization: the history of the medicalization of male circumcision" : How does social actors’ engagement with the technical dimensions of world politics—from material infrastructures to modeling, engineering, bureaucracy, and discourses of expertise—bring about specific social configurations and political effects? To answer this research problem, International Relations scholars have growingly mobilized the idea of technicization to investigate the relationship between knowledge, governance, socio-political reproduction, and social change. However, despite this interest, technicization has been neither conceptualized nor theorized. I argue that this absence limits our understanding of how technicality affects world politics and leads to the literature taking depoliticization as the default interpretation. To address this issue, this article develops three conceptualizations of technicization by distinguishing between the theoretical traditions underpinning this idea across social sciences. I introduce to International Relations the concept of technicization as desociologization based on the Habermassian concepts of technique and practice, which I distinguish from technicization as depoliticization (Weberian) and technicization as disciplinarization (Foucauldian) most commonly encountered in the literature. I illustrate the utility of disentangling these approaches through the case study of the history of the medicalization of male circumcision and its use as a global health anti-HIV policy since 2007. Overall, this article lays solid theoretical foundations for a more structured conversation about knowledge- and discourse-related processes dealing with the technical dimensions of world politics and beyond.

"As usually performed without analgesia or anaesthetic, circumcision is observably painful."

"Some circumcised men have described their current feelings in the language of violation, torture, mutilation and sexual assault."

While #malecircumcision first acquired medical meanings to curtail #masturbation, it is now being advertised by medical literature as a way to enhance #sexualpleasure and prowess. In both cases, the stamp of medical authority serves to legitimise the practice – from abstinence to virility. 3/4
