Core memory?

I feel like this is a great example of what circumcision means to women and mothers. For them it is this sentimental moment that is supposed to mark the beginning of their... motherhood? Or the beginning of their stewardship of their child or something. Like 'mommy's first big decision that will affect baby's life forever' or something weird like that.

But for men and fathers its this moment of shared trauma, that makes them at best just feel uncomfortable and worst ashamed and deeply resentful. Like I can't tell just how the Dad feels in this video because he is hiding his face and using a mask. Is he upset? Did he oppose this? Will he remember this like the Mom as a 'fond moment' or will be forever feel ashamed he couldn't stop this?

There is so much talk right now about right of choice, and bodily integrated and freedom. But everyone still refuses to see circumcision for what it is. Forced body mutilation against a child that can't even comprehend what is happening, much less decide if they want it or not.

Reading through the comments is disgusting, shit like "It's their choice" "But culture!"

Fucking scary how "my body, my choice" gets thrown out the window fast when it comes to a male baby.

Seems more like a core trauma for the infant and his dad from looking at it 😬

In reality, it's a core memory for both guys.

Look at the post and the comment.

Absolutely sickening.

Is there anyone here who’s actually glad they got cut as a baby? Honestly as an adult I’d have it done if I weren’t already. Only difference is I didn’t know about it.
