re: Anti-circumcision: agree or disagree?

Quoting mamaluvsher4babies:" WOW! Protected from their own parents?? I will let that ignorant statement just slide off my shoulder  "

It's the truth. You protect your girl from getting her clitoral hood removed against her will, correct? Why can't you give your son the same benefit?

Quoting ♡Sarah♡ + 2:" I think its a good point."

I think it's a damn good point. Some parents could find articles and research saying circumcision is beneficial to a child. It's one of those pesky parental choices that others will have to get over. I'm not pro or against it. I'm pro you parent your own child and I'll parent mine.

I'm guessing she's going to base her opinion on medical studies, Dr.'s and personal experiences rather than a woman on BG.

Just a guess.

That's asking too much.....

Women get filthy as well if they don't shower properly. Removal of folds of our vagina would be beneficial. Smurf, I'm pretty sure it would reduce a number of infections. but... we don't get our bits chopped off, do we? No. We get medication to fix imbalances or infections. yet when a boy gets a problem, the first answer is to chop part of his dick off.

So wrong.

Quoting kthx.:" Those aren't permanently changing their body. "

I disagree. The food we eat CAN permanently or semi permanently change our bodies. Do we ban fast food for children under the age of 6? 10? 15? Do we make it mandatory to feed children nothing but all organic foods? What they eat as children can determine their health later in life. It's incredibly difficult later in life to lose a lot of weight if you've been obese most of your childhood life. Not to mention diabetes and heart disease that can come with obesity.

Quoting * Sara *:" You don't know how to quote people?  "

Yes I do LOL...I just don't understand why that would be said. I dont look down on those who are against it. If thats what they think is best for their chilkd then so be it. I am pretty sure the little boy who is being beat everyday would rather be protected from his parents then the little boy who was circum

Yet, when they get older.... they can make the decision to eat how they want. Just like they can choose to get a circumcision when THEY are able to make that decision.

The irony in this exchange with you is I circ'd my son but probably will not circ again, given the opportunity.

But it's kinda like being beaten over the head with a Bible; it never seems to work, does it? No.

I researched myself, because of things I've seen on BG...but I never did it because I was called a "baby mutilator", "abusive mother", "idiot"....you get the point.

Just provide good, reliable and factual information and leave it at that.

You are too harsh and a bit of a bully about this subject, from what I've seen.

How am I harsh? Because I speak the truth?  

<blockquote><b>Quoting kthx.:</b>" How am I harsh? Because I speak the truth?  "</blockquote>




No. It's because you're pretty mean about it.

Let the facts speak for themselves. You are very informed about this...so share that knowledge.

Quoting kthx.:" Yet, when they get older.... they can make the decision to eat how they want. Just like they can choose to get a circumcision when THEY are able to make that decision."

They can indeed. But by that point, it could be too late. Permanent damage has been done. The heart and liver could be half destroyed. Do we ban parents from feeding crap foods to their kids too, knowing their livers and hearts and other systems may not be able to ever recover?

Until there is solid proof in one direction or the other on the circumcision debate, I'm not for or against it. And I mean solid proof enough to either ban it completely or make it fully necessary. Until that point has been reached, which I doubt will happen, I'm pro take care of your kid the way you deem necessary, whether that's by feeding them organic food or Mcdonalds or Circing or not.

I guess. But given the fact that it's a cosmetic surgery should be enough to make illegal.

Quoting kthx.:" How am I harsh? Because I speak the truth?  "

I have never seen you be a bully. You are just informed and some people don't want to hear it. *shrugs* Oh well.

If she's informed, shouldn't that information be shared instead of guilt tripping people?
