In reply to the discussion: Benefits of male circumcision reconfirmed as rates decline [View all]E_A_
(9 posts)Are not about health, they are the same as female genital mutilation, part of religious practice and an abusive harmful thing to do to a baby.
I sometimes wonder if some of male violence has at it's root the experience of having a part of you which involves your very sense of being taken off. They don't use anesthesia or anything, do they?
They used to think that little babies are too young to be effected by traumas, or to be effected by pain, and so wouldn't give anesthesia,but now we know better.
I shuttered when I saw a Seinfeld episode where everyone joined together, a party atmosphere, and then this poor little defenseless baby has part of his body chopped off, no anesthesia or anything. Isn't this cute???? How wonderful...
And the little baby lays there, traumatized, crying....oh what a great party we are having......
I thought it was appalling....not that anyone there was trying to be cruel...I knew that, to them, it was a religious occasion.......but look at it from the baby's point of view and long term effects....
I doubt this info about preventing disease is reliable......wonder how I'd feel if I found out that part of my female anatomy had been cut off, so I would never be able to experience some things others could feel. I wonder if I wouldn't feel like a complete woman, and if I wouldn't be feeling an underlying rage and sadness, which might be acted out in aggression....such as...oh, I don't know, wars, crime etc......maybe the world would be a little less violent without genital mutilation.....
