Done zero research and are cutting of some of a baby's genitals! Wow you do deserve a medal.

Can it be a gold medal? I fancy myself to be pretty special...

Or should the medal be made out of his foreskin? I can proudly display it on the wall of our house to let everyone know how stupid and uneducated and downright vile I am.

Sure, do it up however you like

But you've done a ton of "research" and aren't vaccinating your kids. So research might be a little overrated at times ;-)
--- That's right, I'm not. And I don't think you are wrong to vaccinate. It's an extremely complex issue. Circumcision is cutting off healthy genital tissue. A vaccine is not.

Is this debate going to go on throughout our entire pregnancies? Are you going to keep making polls to stir up drama? If so, please tell me so I can block you now...

And my decision whether or not to circumcise my son is my son's business, and my husband and my business. It will not affect anyone else. Whether or not you vaccinate your children could affect all of us.

Which decision is more worthy of public ridicule? We clearly disagree on that answer.

Why is cutting off healthy genital tissue your husband's or your "business"? Is that not a bit fucked up? It's just cultural, is what it is. And lots of cultural practices are pretty fucked up. We have to work within our own cultures to change them.

WillCMyInk · September 2014

Sweet...I'm gonna go gold medal that is surrounded by foreskin. I think that provides the best of both worlds.

And I wish I could love tit your post a hundred million times @southernyankeegirl

This is all very entertaining while my son naps. Thanks girls.

Why not just go all the way and castrate him at birth? Penises are kinda yucky and then he can't get penis cancer at all! And less AIDS! Win!

Roxycc55 · September 2014

Honestly, I'm strongly considering not circing, for our own reasons. However, the strong and ridiculous opinions on that side from certain people, and how ridiculous other opinions she has are, makes me want to rethink it. %-(

I'm not actually going to base my decision on disliking someone else, but really, you're not helping your argument any here.

If my tone or "strong ridiculous opinion" makes you want to cut your baby's penis, you've got bigger problems.

mom2case · September 2014

I wanted to leave DS in tact. DH wanted to circumcise. I told DH I would leave the final decision up to him but he HAD to research it. He couldn't just say "I'm cut, so our son will be." I wanted him to know all the facts. DS came really early and passed away so we never actually got around to a final decision. This one is a girl and our last, so I'm thankful we don't have to worry about it this time!

Because it is our son, and until he is capable of making decisions for himself, it is a parent's job to make decisions for their child. This includes health-based decisions. Like vaccines.

Just because you made a different decision doesn't give you or anyone else any authority over my child's genitals.

I don't see any need to change this particular custom in our case. Like I said, I spoke to plenty of people, both medical professionals and individuals, and this was the decision we came up with. It's not based on aesthetics or convenience, it was a decision and our choice. And nobody else's business.

I love how you created this poll just to go fishing for people to troll. You clearly don't have anything better to do with your time.

Please, Stargirlb, tell us your opinion on this subject. Because WE HAVEN'T HEARD IT YET.

Stargirlb · September 2014

A better use of my time could be discussing donuts and posting pictures of my new stroller. BUT I like to discuss this topic because it's very sad to see so many baby boys injured like this. (And girls in other parts of the world.)

You want to cut off a baby's healthy genital tissue and I'm a bully for pointing out that this is just a wee bit fucked up.

That's some cognitive dissonance.

1. Suggesting that male and female circ should even be mentioned together is abhorrent to me.
2. To suggest that my son is somehow not "intact" gets on my nerves too.

That is all I have left to say on this subject.

No, because of the way you phrase it and the way you go after people. You attract more flies with honey, as they say.... and you are always vinegar when it comes to this topic. You do bully and shame instead of stating facts.... that's what they are referencing. Any traction you possibly could have in swaying someone's opinion is lost in the sea of judgement you crash upon them in wave after wave.

My first was cut and so will this one. I'm thinking of my future daughter in laws who probably would love not having infections from an uncut husband.

It's funny when people who disagree with me insinuate that they would consider my points if I presented them differently. I hear that shit all the time from dudebros who disagree with me about feminism and gender issues and then move on to tone policing. Mildly amusing.

Lola918 · September 2014

I for one think a topic like this one is interesting because it puts in question cultural norms, so I'm with @Stargirlb‌ that it's a more interesting topic than some of the more mundane things we discuss, provided we don't start insulting each other.

Secondly, can we keep vaccines out of this? It's a whole other can of worms, and I don't think we should discredit @Stargirlb‌ 's opinion on circumcision because we disagree on an unrelated topic.

Fyi, I tend to agree with @Stargirlb‌ that circumcision is mutilation, I agree with others that it's a decision that should be made by parents (both mom and dad) rather than by one unilaterally, and that all health decisions of a minor are the responsibility of the guardians.

You don't get infections from intact men. You know one of the reasons behind female circ is that natural female genitals are gross and dirty?

You are 100% correct with your above statement. There are right and wrong ways to share your opinion. Trying to drill it into peoples heads and making people who chose to circ feel like shit are definitely the wrong way.

I have 3 boys, all snipped and if this one is a boy, he'll be snipped too! This was mine and my DH's decision and I won't be made to feel like I've made the wrong decision just because someone else doesn't agree with it! To each thier own!! I don't give two shits what other ppl do with their child's penis... It's none of my business. Plus, I just don't care!! It's not really a topic I find nessesary to talk about. But hey, that's just me!! I had a feeling this thread would turn out this way... Lol!

I can't help but love the stats on this poll... 47% in favour of the snippity snip!! Lol!

@sassquatch‌ Didn't say that and I know people personally who have had problems with it. And they're not nasty, unclean men.

That's just my opinion but who really cares?

My first was cut and so will this one. I'm thinking of my future daughter in laws who probably would love not having infections from an uncut husband.
Okay, this bothers me. Regardless of what anyone here plans to do about circumcision, let me make this perfectly clear: JUST BECAUSE A MAN IS UNCIRCUMCISED, DOES NOT MAKE HIM A DISEASE CARRYING, WALKING INFECTION FARM. I've been with men who have been circumcised and those haven't been. I've gotten more UTI's after having sex with someone who was cut than who wasn't. @caitlindenise‌, If you truly want to think of a future DIL's or SIL's health, you simply teach them how to properly clean themselves.

This!

I've never gotten an infection from my "uncut husband". To imply he's dirty or infection-carrying because he's uncircumcised is honestly offensive.

Instead of worrying about our* sons penises why dont you worry about your kids getting vaccinated?
I wonder what an intact healthy genital looks like after a kid gets the measels??
Well, my son did get measles and his penis still looks the same.
Yeah because that's totally the same thing...not!

Huh? She said she wondered what a healthy intact genital looks like after measles. My sons looks exactly the same. Lol

It's funny when people who disagree with me insinuate that they would consider my points if I presented them differently. I hear that shit all the time from dudebros who disagree with me about feminism and gender issues and then move on to tone policing. Mildly amusing.

No because again, I don't disagree about actually not circing. I just think it doesn't need to be presented offensively.

And I'm not going to lie, you probably do turn people off from feminism. This is coming from someone who is a very strong feminist, and will be raising my son to be one.

But saying things like 'let's eliminate all males from the world,' is what makes other feminists look bad to people who uneducated about what feminism is. Which is actually equal treatment for men AND women.

That is all.
