[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sheer defensiveness of the people who have chosen to circumcise here is obvious. I can see why it would be really frustrating to feel like you did something that is now being openly criticised and questioned, particularly if you thought you were doing the right thing. I think many people who circ generally just didn't figure out it was the wrong thing to do beforehand, and now are so invested in it being the right thing to do that they feel personally offended when someone else disputes that choice by not making it.

I can think of no other explanation of why they care so much about what someone else did or what someone else thinks.

Pot. Meet kettle. The non-circ mothers are the ones who get in a tizzy about this. No one else. [/quote]

May I direct your attention to the OP, who started this shit slinging sesh? [/quote]

Listen. I am not defensive at all about our decision to circ. And I put people who have opinions about it in the same group I put non-vaxers. But it is really perplexing that someone else has such an interest/opinion in my child's genitalia. It really skeeves me out. Why care so much about what someone else does?  People who cry mulilation and abuse are just whackadoodles, and it is unsettling that these people care so much about my child's private areas. [/quote]

Listen. You can quit trying to put people opposed to circumcision in one category with non-vaxers. The overlap only goes in one direction, i.e. non-vaxers tend not to circumcise, because they have a general distrust in the medical establishment, without doing actual research on the issues. There are, however, many people who oppose circumcision who vaccinate fully, because while they don't mistrust their doctors, they do their due diligence and look at peer-reviewed research with an international scope. If you do that, you see that vaccination makes sense while circumcision doesn't. People who circumcise, on the other hand, tend to trust the US medical establishment, and don't feel the need to look beyond that.[/quote]
