[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a current of religious intolerance in the whole discussion here (other thread, but it a
Ways is that was on similar threads). I don't feel I have to apologize for being a proud Jewish woman, looking forward to raising a Jewish son.  But I don't plan on having many people check out my sons dick.  It's so odd to me that people are seeing all these other kids penises! And I'm not even prude. Just, why would hu be checking out my son? [/quote]

I have issues with the claim "religious intolerance."  There are areas around the world where some groups of people circumcise girls in the name of religion, and people call it genital mutilation.

Religious tolerance is one thing, but I think there are some practices done in the name of religion that should be questioned because they involve altering a child's (who is unable to consent) genitalia irreversibly.[/quote]

Yes, seriously. Roughly half my friends do it, half don't. PP nailed it with the spanking comparison. I feel a rush of sympathy for the child, feel my estimation of the parent sink just a little, and move on.

And PP, when you have a kid you'll understand. They have their darn pants off a lot. I don't know any moms who hang out in mom group clusters that don't change diapers in front of one another, etc. It's not like you have to be some kind of pervy goon to notice - it's obvious and it's something you can see quite accidentally via peripheral vision without ever meaning to look.
