Wow, that kinda puts the rest of the thread in to perspective doesn't it...Uncircumcised, which sadly cannot be said for all of my peers.![]()
Oh, I don't agree with circumcision as standard practice either. In fact I don't think it should be done for anything other than medical/therapeutic reasons. But all the back and forth just kinda seems a bit redundant when there's someone here who has real life experience with genital mutilation, not just some theoretical knowledge of it... if that makes sense?I believe mutilation is mutilation, whether done on a large scale or a supposedly "small" scale. My brother was circumcised when he was 5. I tried to stop it, but since I was not his parent, I had no say, and it's perfectly legal. It was performed under local anesthetic, he was able to see everything. He had nightmares for weeks afterward. He couldn't understand why - too young to take it all in. His personality changed somewhat after that. He was more suspicious of adults, including his family (rightly so!).
Why? It is what it is.As someone who is circumcised (and who has received no complaints), I find it offensive that some people consider me "mutilated".
- To deprive of a limb or an essential part; cripple.
- To disfigure by damaging irreparably: mutilate a statue.
- To make imperfect by excising or altering parts.
^ EDIT: I understand that you are a writer, good for you. Now, do you think you could calm down? You have managed to master one language, bully for you! I am a little too old for primary school English lessons, and I wasn't aware of asking you to correct my post..

Looks like I was a little hasty, TGTheodore. I thought you were referring to me, a post but one above yours. Seems I made all the wrong connections, and for that I apologise sincerely and without reservation. Sorry!

Same here, but the people who are against it tend to have an almost religious zeal for their foreskin (or lack thereof as the case may be).
Anyone who hasn't?!I can vouch for this, also.
