[b]You can't simultaneously claim it's NBD for babies -- especially without anesthesia -- and then make a huge deal about how difficult and impossible it is for adult men. Pick a lane. [/b][/quote]

This![/quote]

Exactly! I’m very protective against unnecessary (painful!) medical procedures for my baby.

When that baby grows up to be a man it will be his decision to undergo painful procedures, be it tattoos, piercings or genital mutilation. Why do you feel entitled to make those decisions for your sons? [/quote]

Because we are his parents. [/quote]

Lovely for you to make that decision about his penis.  [/quote]

This is the kind of thing only someone bizarrely focused on genitals could say. We make decisions for this child about everything, including how all of the parts of his body will be treated, all the time, and we will for quite some time to come. The same week, we had his tongue tie snipped—twice—and we did this so he could breastfeed, on evidence for breastfeeding’s superiority that is also pretty thin.

Parents are powerful. If you don’t acknowledge that at all, there is no hope of wielding that power wisely.

No opinion of what anyone else should do with their son’s foreskin. Let a thousand foreskins bloom.[/quote]
