This is considered normal because people like you and me aren't doing enough to stop it.

I point this video to anyone who is thinking about getting their children circumcised. It's worked every time. One female doctor actually berated a friend of mine for refusing to consent to it being done to his son.

But will someone think of the chi...er...parents? Yes...the parents have a right to butcher their kids! You're such an oppressor!

At least that's the message I got out of the San Francisco attempt to ban circumscision. After using children to get a lot of hateful shit passed through, the same groups forgot about children in this case.

That made me cry, listening to that poor little boy and seeing what he was going through.

I'm a father of a 4 year old, uncircumcised boy, anyone who puts their child through that should be ashamed of themselves.

Pure child abuse.

I couldn't watch it. It makes me sick to my stomach...

It's interesting to read this anthropological account of how kids' genitals were treated in pre-contact Hawaii.

You can see how much work it was for parents and caregivers to make certain that the foreskin properly separated from the glans. They did subincise the foreskin, even in Hawaii. This probably indicates that there were enough occasional problems with boys' foreskins to warrant this.

In the middle East and the West... it seems like the practice of full circumcision was probably a response to the same experience. Our ancestors, however, because of the cultural taboos about sexuality, didn't want to go through as much work as the Hawaiians were willing to, as they cared for their little boys. It was considered easier and cleaner just to cut the whole thing off.
