[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't we have millions of men running around now who are extremely scarred?  It is interesting that rarely do fathers get so very hysterical about this issue, but the mother sure do!  Quite odd to be that obsessed with your child's and other children's genitalia. [/quote]

This is what I think every time I see one of these threads. Considering the vast majority of grown men...even teens...have been circd in this society, you would think there would be very known epidemic problems based in what the anti-circ team is saying. I have yet to hear of one grown man express any trauma over their circumcisions. [/quote]

No one is saying that millions experience long term trauma.  They are saying that they have been scarred and that part of their penis has been removed for cosmetic reasons and that it is not justifiable to put a newborn baby who is unable to consent through this process.   Many men express regret that this was done to them and that number will only increase as the procedure becomes less common and as your children become the unusual ones (just like in the rest of the world).

This is primarily a women's board, that is why the majority of people posting here are women.[/quote]

My husband is very happy his parents made the choice to circ him. What if yours wishes you had done the same?  It is much more traumatic and risky to do it as an adult.

Really, the histrionics around this issue just isn't warranted. It really makes you sound unstable and crazy. [/quote]

You do realize you are talking to several posters, yes?  What are you considering "histrionics"?  Remember this is a cultural issue.  If the discussion was about tattooing your newborn and some people vehemently disagreed with it would you say that they were unstable?  What if it was about piercing your newborn's nose?[/quote]

The people who care what other parents do with respect to circing.  All weirdos and unstable. There is a lot of overlap with that group and anti-vaxers. [/quote]

NP here. You are wrong on this one (or do you have evidence?). I am VERY pro-vaccine, and very anti-circ. Because I look at what makes sense from a scientific/medical perspective. I would think there are many people who think that way. Most of Europe, for instance.[/quote]

PP here again. And labeling people who oppose routine infant circumcision as "weirdos and unstable" (as has been done many times on this thread) just reveals that you are really at a loss for arguments. You can't win a rational argument about this, so you try to discredit your opponent. Pathetic, and so transparent.[/quote]

Okey dokey crazy cakes. [/quote]

I hope the humor in this response is intentional![/quote]
