    That’s a fun way to describe a last resort when all else has failed… the “easy” way.

                Ctrl + f “circumcision”

                Regardless, some nut’s opinion hardly says much. He also made Corn Flakes to make people stop masturbating.

                EDIT: Looks like he may have been behind the circumcision of children in the US, though that is disputed. It seems the nut mostly saw it as a way to stop masturbation.

                So, still irrelevant to what I’ve said.

                    You could try making your point instead of just joking. You’re just convincing me you’re a troll.

                    EDIT: Ok no, I see now. Is this it?

                    Although generally against unnecessary surgery to treat diseases,[50][51] in his Plain Facts for Old And Young he advocated circumcision as a remedy for “local uncleanliness” (which he thought could lead to “unchastity”),[52] phimosis,[52] and “in small boys”, masturbation.[52]

                    So, he advocated for circumcision for uncleanliness and masturbation which is, of course, absurd. But it seems for phimosis it generally is the last resort once all else has failed.
