[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in arlington, but delivered in Dc at Sibley. According to my OB, since the procedure isn’t covered by insurance, people without means are choosing not to do it. So, I’d guess most boys at Williamsburg, if both here, will be circ. Most at Kenmore South of 50 won’t be. It’s mostly a socioeconomic thing. [/quote]

Also delivered in DC, and the OB congratulated me for not doing it, saying she did not circ her sons either. So there’s more anecdata for you.[/quote]
Excellent! It’s barbaric mutilation. In Europe no one does it, except maybe if it’s required by your religion. But I know here there are even Jewish organizations specifically rejecting circumcision based on medical and safety reasons.

My best friend had triplet boys in London. There was simply no mention of circumcision. Had she been here, she would had allowed the doctors to do it, because....  tradition! ...the doctors’ tradition.

I’ve heard the babies screaming at ceremonies. The women run out because they can’t bare it.

I don’t believe hospitals should do it without a parent present. But then most of them would halt the surgery before it was completed. It’s nothing short of torturous. Please just watch it happening.

So if you go with it, at least have the guts to stay to comfort your newborn son.[/quote]

They put a numbing agent on the tip and then a local anesthesia for the whole penis. For my son, he can back from the procedure nurses and slept.  No screaming. [/quote]

I mean if you want to have to deal with nagging your son to remember to wash underneath his foreskin for the first thirteen years of his life because you couldn't be bothered to listen to the CDC and you wanted him to be "natural" then that's your right, but don't be surprised when he comes to you in tears asking you to pay for it when he's a teenager because some girl rejected him because of it and told all of her friends and now all the girls at school are calling him anteater.[/quote]

Then I’ll be glad I helped him dodge a bullet because that hypothetical girl sounds awful [/quote]

The thing is, it's not just one hypothetical girl. These are the current top search results for "uncircumcised" on TikTok, the social media app that's currently the most popular with teenage girls (my daughter is on it 24/7). Watch any one of these and it should be pretty clear what the prevailing attitude among American teenagers is.

It took me about two minutes to find these. Imagine how it would feel to be an uncut teenage boy seeing girls from their school posting videos like that. That can't be good for their self-esteem at all.[/quote]

This is the internet dear.   Every idiot isn't limited to their own village anymore - they can be found by search by those with the same inclination.  It is how we got Trump.  Search "birds aren't real" and then come back and explain how your search strategy is a robust accurate census of prevailing opinion.

I do wonder if people were always stupid and the internet just reveals it - or is it making it worse.[/quote]

The internet reinforces the stupid.

So the stupid get stupider.
