Trust the Huff Post to put it in "weird news."

I'm so glad Im intact. I can tell you that having cloth rub up against it with the foreskin is supposed to hurt, I can't even go a minute with the foreskin pulled back because it's so sensitive.

Also, in my research the foreskin allows the natural lubrication to be covered up instead of drying every time the male pulls out, also the rigid band that rubs the inner vaginal walls etc. etc.

The claim here is a doctor knowingly mislead the parent to give consent for an unneeded surgery, likely to pad their own pockets, and he is having negative side effects of that surgery. The fact that it is about circumcision is coincidental, and likely only there because it was easiest/the most conveniently explained surgery.

This is a bigger issue surround children's rights and parent's rights when in regards to a medical procedure.

I think he has a legitimate claim to victimization. I don't think the hospital has a legitimate claim to ignorance - but it was his parents wish, and parents are allowed to be bad parents to a degree, and others are allowed to act on that. Maybe.

And comments like those are the reason I stopped caring about the female verison. :

"Hey, did you guys know that entire cultures of women are LEGITIMATELY MUTILATED in the form of having their entire external genitalia cut off? Might make you think twice about biatching about a half-centimeter of skin....

Just providing some context, not that I advocate the genital mutilation of millions of men over the years. I, as a woman, prefer uncircumcised HYGIENIC men. They're much more... responsive? (Probably due to the extra 30% [roughly] of genital sensitivity).

In both contexts, it's wrong. It's much more brutal for women, though. Look that shiat up. "

I read the title and thought a grown man was circumcised as an adult. This was not actually the case.

$1000 is not nearly enough compensation for this crime against humanity. $100 000 is a more appropriate figure.

This is a ridiculous claim so he can debate that the mental damage caused him to lash out in such a way that he's now behind bars. It's a ploy to garner sympathy so he can get out.

What is with these outrageous lawsuits.. Cause he was circumcised? Seriously? I'm happy I was circumcised. I can't imagine suing for something so ridiculous.
