How can it be "more stimulating" for both partners when it cuts off some tens of thousands of specialised nerves in a part with a unique rolling action, that were designed for just that purpose/have evolved with just that function?

I wouldn't get circumcised for a bag of oranges and I love oranges
Anyone who thinks being circumcised makes you cleaner is a total spack and it should be illegal because the child has no say in the matter just like clitoris removal -

I'm not a dude, and as an American I've never even seen an uncut penis in real life. Which is unfortunate! But i think circumcision to children who have no choice in the matter of their own body is wrong! And too many Americans think uncut penises are disgusting, and they cut their babies because they don't want their babies to grow up to be "disgusting." That is why I find the joke to be in awful taste. It just feeds this myth that there's something wrong with a penis that is not circumcised. I'm glad you're comfortable enough with your penis to think this is funny! I would just like for this idea that a natural penis is gross to go away, so people would stop ignorantly cutting their babies!

They've now posted the whole scene, with such charming lines as
Amy: What if I get someone who is not circumcised?
Kiki: Run out of the room screaming. It's like finding a gun in the street. Just scream and get out of there!
Carla: No way, you guys. Uncut guys are great!!
Kiki: Really?
Carla: Oh they're just so nice to you because they know their dicks are gross.
You don't think that's insulting? -

It's not consideratte to consider that normal, healthy, functional anatomy is "gross".
Switch the sexes: if cutting female genitals were commonplace (never mind the severity, we're talking about the social aspect) would this dialogue be "considerate"?
Carl: No way, you guys. Uncut gals are great!!
Kiko: Really?
Carl: Oh they're just so nice to you because they know their flaps are gross. -

Look at the lines as written, switch the sexes, we're not talking about the horrible things they do in Africa (baby girls are cut minimally by doctors in Indoneisa in the name of Islam and it has nothing to do with "preventing women from expressing their sexuality", in fact it's the mothers to take them to the doctors).
As it happens, male genital cutting has always had an underlying purpose of curbing male sexuality. It was introduced to the US to thwart or punish masturbation.
Now, as I was saying, the script as performed body-shames men with whole genitals in a way that would
never
be acceptable if it were talking about women.

Whether or not that's true, there are actually some health benefits. That is not true with FGM.
As for body shaming, no it doesn't. Hahn talks about how great uncut men are & demonstrates the best way on how to handle them.
Now, if Bell said it was gross & hahn agreed, then yes it would be body shaming. -

The health benefits are exaggerated when they are not completely bogus (and nobody knows whether FGC has exactly the same "benefits" as MGC, because it would be unethical and illegal to do the experiment) but that's changing the subject. Nobody mentions health benefits in the movie.
Hahn says not just that whole genitals are "gross" but that whole men are grateful because we "know" they are gross. (It's called "damning with faint praise") It's BS as well as shaming. It's like saying black people are grateful to their slaveowners because they know they are inferior. (That's an analogy: don't take it off on a tangent.)
And Hahn's demonstration is absolutely wrong and would cause us pain, if not damage. The scene does NO service to whole men. -

Exactly. If the genders were reversed, it wouldn't be funny at all.
It kind of reminds me of when Sharon Osbourne laughed at the man who had his penis cut off by his wife, and thrown into the garbage disposal just because he wanted a divorce. Osbourne described the story as "quite fabulous", making light of the incident, causing the audience to laugh and applaud.
Now, reverse the situation: it's a man who assaults his wife in the same manner because she asked for a divorce. He's a monster, right? Right.
I know I may be reaching with this comparison, but you get what I'm saying.
That's why that joke isn't funny, because the reverse scenario would have never even made it into the script. -

There are zero benefits to being circumcised.
You should also rewatch the scene as you obviously completely got it wrong. What she said was the equivalent of the joke fat women are great because they're more grateful for the sex as they're ugly and gross, how you could ever consider that a complement is baffling. Whilst the scene didn't bother me the other posters are correct all the women made fun of men being natural and that would be completely unacceptable to make fun of a women because she hadn't had her vagina circumcised at birth.
