I don’t know, why are some people butthurt that there are others who care about children’s rights and oppose a surgery that removes 20,000 erogenous nerve endings from a child’s penis?
“MY son!” says the parent who regards individual beings wholly separate from them as property on the level of owning pets, but expects us to take them seriously.
I always wondered why nobody calls bullshit on how childish parents are about this sort of thing. Criticize anything they do and they throw a massive fucking shitfit about how dare you tell them what to do and tell them they’re wrong and that the child belongs to them and so they can do whatever they want to them and in fact will do said thing you criticized purely to spite you so nyeh. I pulled that sort of stunt when I was 8. Why are we allowing people the serious responsibility of parenthood if they act like eight-year-olds?
yea know it’s funny…my boyfriend is circumcised…and he still seems to enjoy sex and isn’t all crying how “childish” his parents were. SOOOOOO….
and i hardly think EVERY parent who does this is doing it to “spite” others…maybe they’re doing it for the health benefits?
so what is a parent supposed to say in reference to their kids now?
“that child came from my uterus..but he’s not ‘my’ son”?
i feel like the parents came together and MADE that human, so yes..it is their responsibility. an infant can’t think for himself and why are you all treating this like parents are cutting off his leg or something? seriously NO guy i know who was cut as a baby even REMEMBERS, let alone cares.
seriously, why is tumblr SO worried about the wording of shit and how it makes phrases sound “possessive”. Get the fuck over it and worry about something that matters.
I’d like to hear from ONE man who’s life was personally effected by his circumcision in his adult years.
just so you know, i’m NOT the “ONE man who’s life was personally effected by his circumcision in his adult years,” but one of many, see http://www.circumstitions.com/Restric/Botched1sb.html.
when i was in middle school and early high school, it was painful to get an erection because i didn’t have enough skin on my penis. the only thing that finally made sex or even masturbation something that was really pleasurable for me was getting poison ivy on the entire front half of my body. it got really bad on my penis, swelling the skin, and leaving a lot of leftover slack when the rash finally went away. it still takes a LOT of effort to have an orgasm, and they aren’t really that satisfying. and all in all, i got lucky. i don’t have any major skin bridges, only one tiny skin tag that’s barely even noticeable, and i have part of my frenulum.
Luckily, i wasn’t one of the 117 babies that die every year in the US because people like you don’t see a problem with strapping babies down, tearing their foreskin away from the head of their penis (at birth its fused down, similar to a fingernail, so imagine the pain of grabbing a fingernail with pliers and pulling it out, but on your genitals) then slicing over half of the skin on the penis off, all without any kind of painkiller. 117 babies die in the US alone because their parents feel the need to cosmetically alter their baby’s genitalia. its sick and wrong.
