Boys are grots at the best of times, and the last thing I wanted to worry about on top of doing their washing, feeding them and picking up after them is to then have to clean their foreskin morning and night - a Mother's reason for circumcision

She seems perfectly okay with keeping her daughter's vaginas clean.

My very wise mother always used to say “If it was was worth anything at all then why would people get rid of it?”

I guess sex selective abortion of females is totally cool because they're worthless then by grammy's logic.

Heck, the Inuit practiced geronticide, so I guess that means she's not worth anything either.

It is estimated that one-third to one-fifth of males worldwide are circumcised. I admit the thought of all of those foreskins in a landfill somewhere makes me somewhat mournful.

Or they're in labs lining people's pockets and being ground up to make rich old white women hold onto their youth through facial creams.

My cousin was circumcised in his teens due to that very fact. He suffered a severe infection from lack of cleanliness and went under the knife to have his foreskin removed.

"I knew someone who needed their appendix out later in life, so we should excise them from every baby by default"

Max has never had any problems down there yet – touch wood.

I'm just going to assume that was an accidental choice of words.

Oh look, another disgusting, morally reprehensible, "My precious little feels are more important than my son's body autonomy" argument from an entitled misandric woman.

When I took my little baby, Min, in to be cut I felt like the biggest monster on the planet. I refused to go in and watch and simply sat in the waiting room as my baby’s piercing cries dug deep into my heart.

I can understand a mother not wanting to put their child or themselves through that. Having said that, it was over very quickly and six years on she doesn’t know what she’s missing. Literally!

There is always so much debate surrounding the snip issue. To cut or not to cut, that is the question!

My very wise mother always used to say “If it was was worth anything at all then why would people get rid of it?”

I tend to agree.

It is estimated that one-third to one-fifth of females worldwide are cut. I admit the thought of all of those bits in a landfill somewhere makes me somewhat mournful.

It also appears that in making the snip decision, most of us tend to do what our parents did before us. The thinking goes like this, if mom has a slug then daughter will indeed have a pet slug, too.

Certainly when you bring a vulnerable little girl into the world the last thing you want to do is tamper with the future of her hood, but there are strong arguments for the removal of the female dirty parts in terms of hygiene.

My cousin was circumcised in her teens due to that very fact. She suffered a severe infection from lack of cleanliness and went under the knife to have her infected parts removed.

Now I ask you, do you think she would have preferred having this procedure done at birth when she wouldn’t remember the pain? Or as a teen when her vagina is quite literally the very life blood of her existence?

Girls are grots at the best of times, and the last thing I wanted to worry about on top of doing their washing, feeding them and picking up after them is to then have to clean their vaginas morning and night.

It simply did not fit into my household chore repertoire.

Min has never had any problems down there yet – touch wood.

Her comments in the threads are very telling as well.

And then we get told continually it's only American men who want their sons circumcised. Good grief. This is the usual clueless and ignorant "dumb mum". So many dumb mums out there.

I wasn't cut and my mother never had to clean my foreskin. She gave me quite a strange look when I asked her (20 years ago). She did, however, have my ears removed to prevent infections due to build up in wax- which she feared would lead to me catching Hearing AIDS.

My very wise mother always used to say “If it was was worth anything at all then why would people get rid of it?”

Using this same line of reasoning, cliterodectomies are also okay as there are plenty of societies getting rid of that particular bit of tissue. This woman's mother was obviously a moron. As for the woman herself, she is vile and should not be allowed to have custody of her male children.

The fuck a foreskin doesn't require some extra special care like a gynecologist.

We've done well enough with those things for tens of thousands of years, and now it's suddenly a hygiene issue?

I am not a grot! I am a free man!

You treat infections with antibiotics not amputation you fucking stupid bitch.

The real salt in the wound isn't that foreskins aren't just disposed of.

They are used in the creation of facial products for women.

We mutilate the penises of new born males so that old women can rub cream on their saggy faces and pretend they're young.

Words to remember if your husband decides to ditch your for somebody younger and hotter a few years down the line, lady.
