Infant loses glans in botched circumcision

shoetreemoon · 2022-02-02T19:25:02+00:00

My feeling towards circumcision has evolved over the years. These days, it seems a little perverted for a culture to be obsessed with the genitals of an infant that they feel driven to modify them. The older I get the more bizarre the entire ritual seems to me. As a culture if we decided any other body part was unneeded and suggested - at birth - we just chop it off, the entire world would think us absolutely insane. But, not part of a male infants genitals. I think a stronger argument could be made for removing the tonsils or appendix prophylactically than the foreskin.

It is so incredibly sad to think that boys are things so undervalued that any part of them is disposable. But, that speaks to the larger point that society thinks men are of no value and disposable.

This kid is going to need therapy for the rest of his fucking life.

When my daughter and her husband found out they were having a boy, they got in a huge fight about circumcision, and I was uncomfortably present for it. My daughter promised her husband that if anybody came near her baby with a scalpel for an unnecessary medical procedure, she’d make that person regret it for the rest of their life.

He is not circumcised.

I was watching the new series of Undercover, and they threw a big party for a boy's circumcision. It was so weird and alien to me the concept of doing this, and they kept talking about how it would make him a man, and show his heritage and where he is from. Kept telling him it would be only a small bit of pain, and the parents even argued over whether they would have it done in the home or at a hospital. Doing this kind of thing to infants is so much weirder.

This wasn’t a medical procedure.

This was a ritual. He tied it up with horse hair to stop the bleeding. He tied around the glanz……which no surprise reacted badly to the lack of blood.

This was just……superstitions and idiots. Damn.

Then feminism justify their nonsense by saying :"Yeah but vagina mutilation hurts more.."
Like if you could compare such pain...

In the 60s a boy lost his penis due to a botched circumcision and was raised as a girl. Read "As Nature Made Him" by John Colapinto

This will not be a nice story and it's kinda long so read at your own discretion.

I had to take a circumcision when I was 11 and I didn't want it but my parents pretty much forced me to do it and they all said you would be a proper part of your culture if you do this but at the time I didn't want to do it. It pretty much hurt to do anything for a few weeks but it was done properly but at first they wanted to do it at home, early when I was a child but for some odd reason they weren't able to do it and I still remember the feeling of being held down and not being able to do anything while someone else had complete control over me which I feel like has fucked me up ever since. They even made me feel like I wasn't part of the family because I wasn't circumcised and sometimes they even made jokes about me being too scared to do it which annoyed me as a kid. Now whenever someone brings up circumcisions or makes a joke about it I feel like killing myself but I can't say anything cos nobody knows about it. Sorry for the massive rant but yh.

We should really put all the people doing this to there kids on trial for abuse. Srsly. How can you think it's ok?

Normal-Yogurtcloset5 · 2022-02-02T20:05:18+00:00

When will this barbaric practice be left in the dustbins of history?

Kagedeah · 2022-02-02T21:43:03+00:00

I'm circumcised but mine was done for medical reasons as an adult. In my view, it should not be performed unless there is a clear medical need for it and the person is 18+.

MoozesModiMoozi · 2022-02-02T20:59:48+00:00

Im circumcised and didnt mind but I do question how its not equal to genital mutilation. Also, if Jewish folk can wait till their Teenagers to do it the. why cant everyone and ask the kids consent? No need to do this to a new born

Neppy_sama · 2022-02-02T19:51:22+00:00

The kid would eventually take that choice when he grows up. The adults need to stop forcing rituals in the name of traditions.

I'm circumcized and this article was a big fuck no if I ever have a son

McFeely_Smackup · 2022-02-03T02:03:09+00:00

I remember in fourth grade, a few of us boys were standing in a circle peeing into shoe (I have no memory of why, so don't ask), and one boy had no head on his dick. I didn't ask, but I thought it was weird.

later when I learned about circumcision, I thought "ah, that kid just wasn't circumcised so his head wasn't exposed".

then later yet I saw what an uncircumcised penis looks like, and no...the kid had a stump. I have no doubt it was a botched circumcision.

This is why parents who say 'become a doctor' feel mildly sociopathic to me.
Also; what do you call a med student who gets C's and D's?
Doctor.

The head of his naan came off? One inch less poor kid!

HeterogameticHuman · 2022-02-02T22:23:05+00:00

How many stories do we have to see, to finally get people to wake up, and stop this crazy practice? Saw a story, where a Muslim family refused to get their son circumcised, but the doctor kept on forcing the parents to do it, even though they didn’t want to do that to their son. The doctor talked about all the “benefits” of genital mutilation, so the parents decided to listen to the doctor, and when it was done, the baby was crying nonstop and was bleeding out of his penis. The parents knew something wasn’t right, but they went through with it.

There is a specific subreddit for this:

This happens. When i worked for a pediatrician she would cut the foreskin the lay the foreskin out to make sure she didnt cut of any penis. I always felt that was a really poor time to check if a mistake was being made. The used a mogen clamp so the way its done its hard to tell what all got caught up in the clamp.

twistedfister3 · 2022-02-03T13:13:57+00:00

That's why...that's why the individual needs to make the final decision on medical procedures, wait until he's 18 or an adult then he can decide if he wants the procedure, this includes the right to get an injection or not to an injection, the individual has the final say.

The comment on the article is really something.

MiddleReasonable647 · 2022-02-02T16:12:19+00:00

India. Not America. Lots of bad things happen in India, and yes, I have Indian friends and I’m married to a third world terrorist (she terrorizes me anyway) so you can’t cal me a raaaaacissttt, it’s not gonna work.

The picture of that guy looks like he did it on purpose so that he could eat it.
