[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is this automatically dads decision? If we were talking about female circumcision would it be only the moms decision? That doesn't make any sense. It hard to find common ground on circumcision when parents disagree but why should the fathers views trump the mothers? I don't get this argument at all.[/quote]

Exactly, especially since it is actually the mother who (hopefully) has an intact foreskin.

Additionally, making daddy and son match is truly only about the ego of the father and placating his emotional needs.  Children, teenagers, young adults and adults want to pretty much NEVER think about their parents genitals, right?  I mean really, how much do we all daydream about our parents genitals?

So, when parents choose to circ for "tradition" sake or "to match", it is only to make dad feel confident that his penis is alright.  And if you think on that a few seconds, that is pretty gross, too -- we are going to cut off part of our son's penis to make his dad feel better?  Bad, bad choice.  Women, make your husbands act like mature men.  Refuse to cut your sons to pacify their insecurities (insecurities that they can't even seem to articulate; instead they hide behind stupid statements like "but we should match").  Be kind to them, but don't give in.  Your every instinct as a mother is to protect your son; don't let this unncessary cosmetic surgery force you to have to overcome that.[/quote]
