A Mother's Story: My Son Cried, "I Want My Foreskin Back!"

Richard, my 17-year-old, went through a long period of grieving the loss of his foreskin when he was around 5 years old. He saw other boys with theirs, he asked questions, which I answered honestly, and explained I was sorry and I would do it differently if I could (which I did with my second son, who wasn’t born or conceived when Richard went through his grieving process.)

so bittersweet to be that first son... I would know.... My sister wasn't cut which is almost the same thing.

THIS is why it shouldn't be the parent's choice.

I may make a thread on this, but I prefer to keep a low profile online. I tutor for human rights at university, and the classes are workshops where the students have to present a human rights violation. One of my groups - mainly girls - have decided to do one on male genital mutilation. I must have been beaming with pride, as they suddenly became really encouraged by my response.

Can tell you now, they're getting the fucking highest mark.
